Class on Wednesday was good and we did a lot of stuff. In the beginning of class we went over the other stories. The story was really good and I liked it. We review more about “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.” We talked about how the way they wrote the first part of the book and discussed. This was a good talked about the book and I liked it a lot we got to describe how they wrote it feeling like a science class. After that class was good and then we had the weekend tot look forward too.

In class Thursday we had a discussion about a short story we had to read in class. The story wasn’t that bad but maybe a little graphic. Then we were split up into groups and had to discuss it with our classmates in our groups. I really don’t like group assignments but this wasn’t that bad. During that we also discussed it as a class during which was good. At the end of the discussions we were told to go back to our seats. Also in the beginning of the class we did more with our poems. Overall class was good and we got out early which I like a lot!

In class Thursday, September 13, we went over more about the logs on blogger. Later in class we read poems “Courage’s Dreams Concern” by Jack White and “Where I’m from” by George Ella Lyon. After reading the poems we had to make a list of keys lines or words that stuck or that were interesting to us and share them with class. Then we had to make a list of all the things that remind us of home and after that we shared it with the class. At the end of the class the homework was to read “Decoded” by Jay-Z and write a one page poem about where we are from.

I choose this video to let people what people do some of things everyday overseas to protect us from further terriost attacks and other threats. I know that it is a video game trailer but it is a good example and is the property of Infinity Warfare studios. Eminem is singing in the trailer talking about even when we are losing the fight we haven’t lost the war and that we shouldn’t give, we should keep fighting until the end! If you don’t know what song he is singing in that trailer it was “Til’ I Collapse.” R.I.P people who died during 9/11.

America, hahaha, we love you, how many people are proud to be citizens of this beautiful
Country of ours, the stripes and the stars for the rights that men have died for to protect,
The women and men who have broke their neck's for the freedom of speech the United States
Government has sworn to uphold, or
(Yo', I want everybody to listen to the words of this song) This song is a good song for the day because today is 9/11 and people died risking their lives to save others and everyday soldiers overseas fight to make sure that there will never be another 9/11 again!

I want to warn listeners this song has explicit content, so take caution before listening. This is called Talkin' 2 Myself by Eminem feat. Kobe and is about how everything he says nobody hears him. Also in the song he trying to he was recovery from his drug addictions such as in album "Encore" when he was doing drugs and his album "Relapse" is about him flushing all the drugs out of his system. At the beginning of the song he talks about his friend Proof who was killed and how he dealt with it was doing drugs and he didn’t know what to do "he felt alone." At the end of the song he talks about he would like to re-introduce himself because he feels like a new person and says “I’m back!”. The reason I did this song is because it was a good song to do after my recent post because it goes into more detail about he dealt with his friend Proofs death.

This song is a good song to start off the Eminem blog, although take caution the song uses strong language and talks about drugs. Although song starts off as a news casting and then goes into detail about a rapper named Proof was shot in a shooting who was Eminem best friend from the there rap group D-12. Starting off the song he talks about how the music industry was like a prison the more songs he came out with critics would not like them and he would lose his freedom. He also talks about a fan wrote him a letter saying "he is praying for him," Eminem says "why would you pray for someone you know nothing about and that no one prayed from him when he was local" also talk about how all the things he had to go through to get famous. The is called careful what you wish for because you don’t know what you’re going to get and when you get it you don’t know what to do with it.
