Blog

We have started the mystery and suspense chapter. I really kinda like it though. I rather watch the scary movies than read the stories because if you are reading sometimes you cant really visualize whats happening like you can do with a movie. Lowkey we really should watch saw because that does tie in to all that we learn about mysteries and suspense stories.

Response.

i just did a whole blog and it didn't save.but i was basically saying how i don't discriminate against gays .unless they try to dress up like a female or something i just treat them like something they technically aren't an that is a women.some of the stories we do on human rights don't relate in my eyes to the subject.

Homework

1.Sarny,a very peculiar little girl is a slave just like Mammy when a new man is brought in by Old Waller.John or Nightjohn was your typical slave with cuts, bruises ,and whip marks across his back. One night John was asking for some tobacco ,which sarny had some,they decided to make a trade "letters for tobacco".A few nights later Mammy overhears John teaching sarny a letter and goes off because if Waller(slave owner) finds out they are learning to read or write he will cut off her their thumb or whip them to death.John later explains his story how he escaped but came back for the sole purpose of teaching.Mammy asks why and he simply says so they can write about what they do to them.Mammy turns and lays back down John continues on.

2. Malcolm X was a misunderstood kid from Lansing,Michigan. at 13 he went to a detention home to wait to later go to reform school. He stayed with the sweizens who accepted him and gave him a little freedom. He went to a all black junior high school were he found himself trying to be "white".

3.All three of the stories were based in the days of slavery and/or segregation. Nightjohn was from the actual perspective of a slave as appose to the great debaters and mascot which were more aimed toward civil rights.In both of those stories blacks were constantly segregated against by whites. But all three stories tried to target canceling or letting the public know how blacks were treated.  

i always forget to do these blogs.we had to read to read that 12 angry men it was decent but what i didn't get was why would u kill your father no matter what he did to you. i got a d in this class because of these blogs so i not going to hesitate to do them .  lets hope that the movie is better then the book because the book was mighty boring . this should be 15 minutes i think.

The race of the victim and the race of the defendant in capital cases are major factors in determining who is sentenced to die in this country. In 1990 a report from the General Accounting Office concluded that "in 82 percent of the studies [reviewed], race of the victim was found to influence the likelihood of being charged with capital murder or receiving the death penalty, i.e. those who murdered whites were more likely to be sentenced to death than those who murdered blacks."In every state that retains the death penalty, jurors have the option of sentencing convicted capital murderers to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The sentence is cheaper to tax-payers and keeps violent offenders off the streets for good.Politics, quality of legal counsel and the jurisdiction where a crime is committed are more often the determining factors in a death penalty case than the facts of the crime itself.
