I agree with the quote "They try to teach you that we don’t belong here." because personally i feel like that's true. Learning history in elementary school and middle school i learned about different culture like hey were savages or dead. When both of those statements are wrong. In school i felt like some cultures and people were written about like they weren't even human that they were animals.

I disagree with "Race studies teaches students to hate America." because being a Korean adoptee that knows little of the Korean culture and history i feel like that say i cant learn about the culture my birth parents were from and if i learn about it i will be anti-american and ill be trying to take down america. I personally believe that what ever culture or race it is everyone has the right to learn more about it. Just because your learning about a different culture doesn't mean your going to be anti-american and hate america.

Final poem

The pain makes things hard to do
and the worry for family makes you strong
I wish that you could wake up and things would be better
I wonder what it was like for you
Walking through the halls of your kindergarten year
The smell of summer reminds me of you
I want to see your smiling face
Your happy face makes me feel like I have butterflies in my stomach

paragraph 1
symbol :wrestling- similarities of wrestling and how he runs the house.

Okonkwo shows connections between him wrestling and him running the house. In the book at the beginning wrestling is a important thing to show you are a man. Okonkwo is the best wrestler around and is really strong. You see the similarity of wrestling and how Okonkwo runs the house in the line. "Okonkwo ruled his house with a heavy hand. his wives, especially the youngest, lived in perpetual fear of his fiery temper, and so did the children". (Achebe, 13) His family being so scared of upsetting him proves that his temper or drive when he fights shows up in his daily life. Also to add you see how good of a wrestler but also they talk about in later chapters that he beats his wifes. Which Okonkwo being so violent during wrestling having to completely change his mind set would be difficult because hes such a strong person and has certain views.

Things Fall Apart Micro labs

-It shows how much a family has to spend on a wedding. and that a marriage isn't exactly a small thing, its well planned and the family kinda treats trying to figure out the bridal price like business. How many wifes you had could be a sign of wealth or power.

-women having children is a good thing. but if your not able to have children people believe her children was cursed with an evil.

-its says the women look on like outsiders. the wife that was being beat by her husband was supported in a way because they did say its not bravery to beat a women and they did say it was bad to be beating your wife. but i dont think him just going to beg for his wife to return is enough punishment.  

-nwoye was suprised it seems and sad that Ikemefuna was leaving. Nwoye knows he should be more manly but it seems that hes naturally not very manly.
