He is a Fool

I think Mama said Booker T. Washington and George Murchison are fools because, on page 103 Booker says that he thinks that education spoils people, which is incorrect, so Mama calls them fools. Also Booker and George want to fit in with the Whites. And they also think that its more important to fit in than following in what you believe in. Also both of them say that that education is just to get a degree and a job. In conclusion Booker and George are fools because they think they will receive respect if they are wealthy and will fit in.

In literature as in life a character may search for a better way of life, such as Benethea, she is trying to find a better life by going to college and coming out ahead of her family. What she plans to gain is the skills to be a doctor and be successful at the same time. She attempts to bring about change by going to college and studying to be a doctor, the only way she can go to college is by the money that Mama received, and she is already getting part of that because of Page 43 it says "Part of it going to be put away for Benethea and her schoolin."

My second character is Walter, Walter is searching for a better life investing in a liquor store, I think this is selfish because hes only thinking about himself and not his family. Walter is hoping to make a lot of money by investing into this liquor store, therefore he can have a richer life. He is attempting to bring about change by getting money from 10,000 Mama received. He plans the use the 10k to invest into the store and have big profits for example he says "Sometimes its like I can see the future stretched out in front of me." But Walter soon finds out that Mama has other plans with the money and uses it to buy a house.

I don't think Walter is thinking about his father, because on page 83-84 hes saying hes to invest big in the liquor store. All Walter cares about is money and to invest in something that might not even work. I think Walters father would like him to think about his family too and him too. In page 45 it says that Walters father always wanted his children to be someone in life, and he loved his children dearly so Walter should give him some money.

It was just an ordinary morning for Hannah Smith, she woke up had breakfast took a shower. But what she didn’t know is when she was happily walking to school her whole life changed in a matter of seconds. A black van stopped, took her and sped away. Hannah’s father witnessed the event occur before his eyes, he quickly grabbed his bicycle and pedaled, but was no match for the car (He didn’t have a car.) Hannah who is scared and confused does not know what will be of her.

18 years later, there have been numerous police calls to a house concerning screaming, but when the authorities arrived they couldn’t help but to lazily check, and get out as fast as possible. Little did they know the frightened Hannah was being held captive in a small shack at that very same house. One normal evening a strange man appears with a young woman and two children to a university asking to make a speech regarding god, Jennifer the girl who was attending them felt a negative vibe from these strange people, she told them to come back the next day, she thought and thought and came to a conclusion to call the police and investigate this man. The next evening the police took the man into custody, investigated the man, and found out the truth, Hannah was the young women and the kids where the two children they had when the man raped Hannah. Currently Hannah is back with her parents, (The names of the characters of the event have been changed, to protect their identity.)

Mothers Day

This mothers day was just an ordinary mothers day, the only difference was that I was sick and I couldn't go to the family break feast. Most of the day wasn't very exciting my dad went to work my brother was doing whatever, my mom was talking to her friends for hours. And I was just watching TV. You might think this is just another ordinary boring day, but when the night comes everything changed. We went out to dinner with my parents to "Peperoncini" (I think that's how you spell it.) we stayed their and had a dinner between my brother, my mom, my dad and my uncle, the food was OK although I didn't have much appetite for anything.

Miami

Miami that's where I was born, the place where all the models go for a great tan. Miami, is a place to have fun, south beach the place to be at night, the clubs the bars every night life event is there. Besides parting and going to the beach Miami is a great place to shop.

Miami is a place of mix cultures Cubans, Mexicans, or just Americans make up this awesome city. At night you cannot see the stars or the moons but you can see the bright lights from the buildings shining in your face. I go to Miami once every year and I stay in my aunts apartment in Keybescane, when am their I usually check out all the nice cars. No matter if your Asian, American, Latin, or European Miami will always make you feel at home.
