 Today in class we took a test on Willaim Blake, and several of his poems talking about experience and innocence. I feel like I did pretty well. His poems a really complex, at first glance they seem simple and not that deep but they are. I really like most of his poems talking about innocence. Espeacially the one about the baby and the chimmney sweeper. How I see a new born as the most innocent thing ever, they can ruined so easily. The toddler I babysit she's 2 and she already has the bad habets of her older sister. Then with the chimmeny sweeper how they feel hope after a dream and go back to trying a live there life with how it is. Hopefully we keep reading more poems because love reading poems. To me there like paintings in a way, just with words if that makes sense. Theres always a deeper meaning that what you see.

I'd rather start working now in some way, instead of studying for another 4 years maybe somehing I won't end up liking. Of course in life maybe you don't need a job you love because some way or another you need to pay the bills. But I'd rather start working now then feeling bad 4 years ...

 Today in class we had a bell ringer. For black history month, one bell ringer until the month ends. Today we had one on Denzel Washington. How he one an oscar for best actor of the year in 2001. We had to answer two questions, one was something along the lines of if the world would be better if there wasn't any racism. I don't remember the other question. Although ideal it would nice, but because of how humans are choosing bad there prolly be other problems. Then other classmates went up to present. It's really nice to see other music tastes with the soundtrack project some students did .

 Today in class we had to read something on CommonLit. We had to read abot the Vietnam war, and how Americans protested. How the United States really got involved because they were scared of the dominos effect. How if there were more countries with communism other countries could get the pressure and change to being communist. I find it really intersting how many of the young man burning the draft cards. Not shocking the part where back then student protested and police officeres would shoot out injurying the students. In the reading we did we also had to answer some questions and do a bit of writing.
