This article talks about how Americans and Hollywood down plays slavery. The article goes into detail about how the movie industry is too scared to show the reality of slavery instead of using its platform to inform viewers. Many believe that the movie indusrty glamorizes slavery instead of showing the true affects it had.

I plan to do this project on what I think is apart of slavery borders. Slavery is seperated by race, politics, social class, etc. Slavery has been such an important part of the history and past of our lives. Slavery can be more than the average thing you think of when you think of slavery itself. Such as sex-trafficing and kidnapping. Slavery falls into the topic of borders because there is literally so many differnt things that can seperate eachother from another in slavery. Such as male vs. female slaves. Or white vs. african american slaves. Even age can play a factor when you really dig into the topic of slavery. All of my topics and sources relate to someone (my audience) depending on race, age, gender, political class.

A.) During the stories I have read this week, the story that stuck out the most was the one about the girl with Frost that was super greedy. I chose to write about this story because  often times as children, we always seem to think about what we do not have, instead of being grateful for what we do have. The story spoke about how the daughter of Frost was grateful for the clothing she had even though it did not give her much warmth. The other daughter kept complaining every time she was asked, “are you cold?”.  She came back with rude remarks about how she was not warm and that Frost should just fix it. She expected him to do these things for her despite her being greedy and rude. This story really brought to my attention that in our society today, many teens and children and even some adults want things in life to be handed to them. People do not want to have to work for what they own. I was always taught that working hard for what I get it’s better than it being handed to me. Labels, brands, price tags should not matter as long as you like them, deserve them, or worked for them. You can tell  in this story that the way these parents raised their children really differs, I say this because the father and his daughter are really proud of what they own and working for it and even being grateful when they are suffering. However, the mother and her daughter are very greedy. they want things to be handed to them even when they do not deserve them. the Second Story that I looked at was Tibbett the Thirsty frog. This story was about a frog and other animals in their habitat. Tibbett drank all of the water that was for all of the animals to share. in class, in my group, we tried to break down the story in related to society and Cincinnati as a whole.  This was difficult because things that happened in the story does not happen around here. 

C.) Does the values and morals that you stand for, come from religion or your parents and what they’ve taught you? I ask this question because I was raised in church and in a house where we would have God. But some things I have been taught, I go against because my outlook on it with religion have changed my mind.

This week in class we read two short stories, I personally liked the Paper Menagerie most because it was much easier to read and follow along. It was easier to connect to the parent aspect as a child. As children we often lust after things we do not have and that is what the child did in this story. He took his life and mother for granted just because they weren’t as normal as others. The Embassy Of Cambodia was a great read, but just was not for me. It was very hard to follow along and hard for me to understand. If we would have talked about this as a class while reading it may have been easier to break the paragraphs down and understand. The moods of both stories at times were sort of sad. They both talked about less fortunate or at least hinted at it. The moods of these stories are easy to connect because they’re going to be rough patches for many people and as I said before, children often take a lot of things for granted. In the Embassy Of Cambodia it spoke about being to see over a wall to more fortunate people. This was sad to me because these children are lusting after things they do not have.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
