I liked the reading for today. The part on the French Revolution was very interesting for me to read. The document on slaves and the Fourth of July, was the one that meant the most to me. As Americans we all celebrate Fourth of July as a holiday. A day to remember and celebrate being free. It is also a day to thank the people that fight everyday to make sure we will always have our freedom. Slaves don't have that. Slaves are always captive by the people that are captured them. No matter how hard they try to get away they will never win. Even if they do get free somehow they will always have the burden hanging over them that they were held captive and treated so bad for so many years.No matter how much time go by no one and nothing can heal the pain and suffering that they go through everyday.

I really enjoyed learning about the sister and their lives. I love how they are still a part of our school after so many years. The sisters a great role models for many of us at NDNU. When we see what they to help not just us but other people as well, we feel compelled to help. Even though they are older now that does not stop them from volunteering their time to any one that they can. That means a lot to me, as I am sure it means to a lot of other students as well.

This was a very interesting chapter. The French Revolution is a neat topic. I also thought that the news on Haiti was cool as well. I was really young when Haiti happened so I don't remember any thing that happened. The Haiti parts of the chapter brought me up to date on what really happened and the impact on the people that it had on the people that lived there.

I really like the document that we read for homework this week. The document was very interesting for me to read. My loved learning about the future and progress of man kind. My favorite part of the document for this week was. " thus the day will come when the sun will shine only to free men born knowing no other master but their reason; where tyrants and their slaves, priest, and their ignorant, Hypocritical writings will exist only in history books and theaters." This passage really explains what life is like now.

I do not like what was happing to slaves. No one deserves to be treated the way that the people were. The stories that we read were heartbreaking. The worst story for me was the story where the brother and sister get separated and never see each other again. I love my family. I could not imagine getting separated from them and being sold for slavery. I feel like that slaves were very strong to endure every thing that was thrown at them by their owners. I also did not like the discrimination that was and still going on for African Americans. No matter your religion, your race, or your customs everyone deserves to be treated with respect.
