Today I was late, which was rare for me to be late to Ms. Nakada's class. We started off by correcting my last blog that I did last Friday. Last Friday, Ms. Denmark was the substitute. I had to redo my blog, because I wrote to little. But this blog I am going to write a lot more. Quote was ''People spend their lives looking for love. Poems and songs and entire novels are written about it. But how can you trust something that can end as soon as it begins? By Nicola Yoon from The Sun Is Also A Star. I think that the quote is saying that you should not fall in love so quick. The song was ''The Promise'' by When                                       in Rome. The song was saying he was saying that he could make you fall in love quick. I skipped the question so here it is "Can you make someone fall in love with you?" I think that, yeah, if I had one day I could make you fall in love. I am currently reading March the third book in the series. I recommend this book to everyone. This is our last time doing literature circles because we are supposed be done with our book. After that, we packed up and went home.

First, Maayan chose me for the blog. Then, Ms. Nakada went over the quote, question, and song. We talked about Fred Korematsu quote "If you have the feeling something is wrong don't be afraid to speak up." Then, we went over the question "do you follow the golden rule?" Last but not least, we went over the song of the week "Strange Fruit" by Billie Holiday. She showed us pictures of a memorial to lynching victims and said if we every got the chance we should go visit this lynching memorial to pay our respects. Then, we flipped to our taking a stand notes and talked about Trayvon Martin how he gets shot and killed by a white person. His family takes a stand by suing the person that killed him. Later on, we watch a video of black lives matter. Johnetta Elzie, DeRay McKesson, and Zellie Imani talk about Trayon Martin and it show us that black people don't have rights and that black people getting killed left and right. They talk about a white person shooting up a black church and nothing happening. They are showing us that the United States government and others don't give a duck. Then, we discussed the video and shared our quotes. After, that we moved the tables and went in to literature circles. The bell rang and we left.
