Chimamanda Adichie
Chimamanda Adichie delivered this speech in 2009 to a crowd at the Ted Global 200- Conference in Oxford. The speech descibes the things she went through during her life-time. She says she learned how to read and write around the age of seven,but her mom tells her she learned at the age of two.Reading this quote made me realize how crazy it is to think of a Nigerian with kinky black hair, brown eyes and brown skin feeling like it was necessary to write about the 'white world' that she knew nothing about.I can tell by listening to her acsent that she is from a part of Africa, and by the wrap around her head. I was startled. It had not occurred to me that anybody in his family could actually make something. All I had heard about them was how poor they were, so that it had become impossible for me to see them as anything else but poor. “<Put quote here>.”Reading this quote made me realize/think about/remember that < finish this sentence>. <Add two or three more sentences explaining what the quotation means to you.>
Another quote that stuck out for me from Ms. Adichie’s was < when she talked about …… and said>:
“<Second quote goes here>.”
I see how/understand why/agree with/ <Explain why this quote has power for you.>. It opens my eyes/makes me think/reminds me .. because this quote is saying that <Finish this sentence, then write three or four more explaining what this quote means to you.> Now keeping this in mind, <Ask your reader if they agree with you and/or your speaker>.
Ms. Adichie surprised/upset/calmed/placated me was when she describedThis surprised/upset/calmed/placated me becauseIt really shows:
“<Put a quote that goes on for more than one sentence here.>”
<Add more of your own thoughts about this topic.>

To much t.v time
This picture decribes that people all over the world watch t.v everyday.In my house everyday and I know there is other things I could be doing instead. Most people rely on T.V to get their information on things that are not that important.Some people watch T.V for about 4 hours non-stop I can't sit down and watch T.V for that long, instead I watch it for atleast a two hours. The picture signifies that when people watch T.V all day then their eyes has been captured by the T.V. In my own words I doesn't spend alot of time watching T.V,because i know t.v is not important to me.
Nike Victim
This picture describes about a particular person that was addicted to the nike symbol, so he decided to get the symbol stiched onto the side of his face. In my mind I wonder what pocessed this person to get the symbol on his face, he nust have been really obsessed with the nike symbol to get it stiched to his face. That person face will e messes up when he get older from the cuts dissolving into his face. Also it signifies to others to not over like something that will make them get the symbol stiched to their faces.
The dead fish from the oil spill
This picture decribes how the fish looked after being killed due to the oil spill and it's chemicals that it contains.The fish looked like a person pilt all his skin off to prepare it to be cooked and eatin after the chemicals skinned his whole body.
Young Teens and Technolgy
Young people send so much of their time using electronic devices , because they are addicted to useing electronics to do research, music, facebook and texting.
I spend around 5 hours per day texting,3 hours per day on facebook,2 hours on web surfering.Yes i think these activities interfere with other parts of your life, because it's could block out things that could help in the future.Then cellphones and computers use become a problem by not doind educational things with them.A warning sign might be get focused more on schoolwork instead of use electronic devices.Using cellphones and computers affect my ability to focus,by having interuptions from text messages and computer updates.Instant gradification cintains music, web browsing,facebook,youtube and etc.its bad because most people will focus on the internet imnmstead of their work.Important skills people can learn from using computers and the internet is how to resarch things and the things a computer consists of. Conversations that are less important are better had through texting and conversations which are more in depth are more better in person.My school limits on cellphone usage which can be taken if saw out without any excuses needed , then it can be given back when parents come and claim them.

I Have A Dream Speech
The I have a dream speech was written and protested by a African American named Martin Luther King who wanted to blacks to be free from slavery. Also decided that something had to be changed by seeing black people batered by white men for being in a whites person's school and resturant. He mainly wrote this dream to have American to attend school with other rasis and to make sure that there was not going to be anymore racial slurves going toward African Americans like there were during the time of slavery. Then he wanted blacks to be equally educated as whites are .I believe that the dream has came true and will stay this way, because blacks are getting along with whites today. Also I know this because I am allowed to attend school with withes today.
India the city and country
There were disparity betwwen whare you live in and what kind of education you persue.The diffrence is two parts of India with eduactional people who make an great amount of salary in the city and people who are not educated working in the country side for a little bit to nothing.
The money or influence you are born into , it maybe affect your progress by having to move in order become educated to make an equal or close to the salary of others who has an education.The difference is that china is very much advanced than India.It means it's a rapidll growing city India is getting bigger in populationfor freedom to vote and do anything they choose to do.
Freedom and reform has fueled India over the last past 20 years and is continueing to grow, now people today make a good amount of sallary there and has an education.The people are moving into India in order to get an education and to make an excellent amount of money.Then the pooor people there might become poorer than ever.Internal companies put down roots, because it's cheaper and Indians economy is booming. Last Black History was a period of Amarican history,because it explains what black people went through during the time of segregation with white people.
