Car Crash
Today I woke up and my owners brought me to the car. They put me in the car. I got in and sat down in the back trunk. They all of a sudden OMG! OMG! OMG! I see a butterfly. It was flying outside of the car. I tried to catch it but I kept hitting something that was clear and I couldn't see it. I think my owner refers to it as a window. Then the butterfly flew away. Then all of a sudden we started to move. I kinda fell over when we first moved. Then all of a sudden we were on this long strip of road. We were going really fast. All of a sudden BAMB!!! I was like OMG! OMG! OMG! I didn't know what happened. I was scared. Then my owner opened the trunk to see if i was ok. Once they opened the trunk I jumped on them and barked! Then I hear this siren and I start to bark! bark! bark! What is that? I was thinking....OMG! OMG! OMG! There is a car coming down so fast! I was surprised at how fast it was going. The people came out of the fast car and they tried to help us....luckily nobody was hurt.

Our Racist, Sexist Selves- questions
1. I think that that the author thought that the University of Chicago test revealed him as racist because he shot the "black" people more then the "white" people. Personally I don't think that this test means anything because its not the test to decided wether your racist or not.
2. No because the test surprised people on the score that they got. I think this because I was also surprised with my score and how I did. So others will probably be more surprised also.
3. The author probably thinks that sexism is harder to fight than racism because he thinks that women are just not strong enough as men. The research that suggest this is that "subjects who were asked to think of a strong woman then showed less implicit bias about men and women."
4. Basically the quote is saying that women are just mean, evil, and tough but people are think that women are soft, warm, and cuddly.
5. The real problem women face according to the author is "that women have trouble being perceived as both nice and competent." Well I think that it all depends on who that women is because it depends on the person.
6. This problem can be confronted according to the author by "the impact of this presidential contest won’t be measured just in national policies, but also in progress in the deepest recesses of our own minds." I think that this would be different and I just think that people are equal and just need to be far and just stop the racism.

Reflection- reaction
Well what I think about the movie so far is that it is quite an interesting movie. I enjoy watching this movie. What I like about this movie is that it shows what has happened over the years ago. I don't like how in this movie there is a lot of discrimination going on. For example how they move into a neighborhood filled with "white" people and only "white" people, and how the person who is responsible for the community goes to them and basically says that they cant move into that house in that neighborhood. That is just so wrong. It just isn't right. People shouldn't do those kinds of things because everyone should be equal and have far rights.

A Raisin in the Sun
Well my first impressions about race in this country and in this school is that in the country its worse then in this school. I think that race in this country is bad because they just discriminate others and the way they look and how they act. I just think that it isn't right because people shouldn't do that because it make others feel bad and it is just plain WRONG! Well back in the days before I was born I think that there was a lot of discrimination going on just by the color of your skin. Back then there was a lot of discrimination because they would discriminate by skin color and also they had different water fountains. The "black" and "white" water fountains. In America now I don't think that there is as much discriminating going on then back then. Well my experience has been perfect because well I eat lunch with a bunch of different varieties of people and they are all my friends no matter what they look like or any of that because that doesn't matter to me its the friendship not on how someone looks. I think that the future will be even better then now because even though there is little discrimination going on now, in the future there probably won't be any discrimination going on.
