its finally the end!!

Oh my gosh!!! Its finally over; the real journey begins. My school career has been a very interesting experience. From our school to the news to where it is now; it has been a big change. I have been at the same high school for 4 years and i can say that it made me the person I am today. Everything was the same ole same ole until I reached 11th grade,when I got in AP Language. That was a huge transformation. My teacher Ms day challenge us to be the best we could be and knew when we were not. This class introduced me to things that I have not been challenged to do. Going into 12th grade I had to take her again because I did not want to go to a regular; that would have been a big change. The downfall of taking this class as a senior is that we as a whole class got senioritis; we did not want to do anything. Even though we was lazy, when it was that time to get our work in, we completed it and went back to being lazy. This year and the whole experience of high school was extremely tiresome. However, it was worth it coming out number 8 in my class. I must say I will miss the times we had in this class:debates,laughs,sometimes the work and jokes. Awwww man its finally the end , time to start at college!!!!:-)

Interview with August Wilson

In the Interview with August Wilson,David Savran and August Wilson displayed many truths about African Americans and society today.Reading the interview, "we're all like our parents' caught my attention because it is truthful. Our parents teach us as Wilson states " the things we are taught  in life , how to respond to the world, our sense of morality - everything, we get from them" shows that he's  not putting all the blame on parents. He indirectly says that even though you are like your parents you control your own life. Wilson puts the blame on no one while  explaining himself on how he feels about today's society.   The interview displayed reality among-ts the society.

Tragedy of the Common Man

     I found Arthur Miller’s “Tragedy and the Common Man” to be surprisingly interesting.  I think that the common man is actually even more tragic than any king or higher power.  I agree with Arthur Miller saying “the common man is as apt a subject for tragedy in its highest sense as kings were”.  Characters really connect with me if they are relatable.   The common man is much more relatable to me than a king or god..  On the other hand, I feel like Arthur Miller’s Willy Lowman was much more relatable and therefore I greatly enjoyed Death of a Salesman and found Willy a “common man” to be very tragic.  Willy was a character “who is ready to lay down his life, if need be, to secure one thing-his sense of personal dignity”.  Willy spent his whole life looking for his dignity and will sacrifice anything to achieve the American Dream.  There was nothing wrong with Willy wanting to have pride and live a successful life.  His  flaw was “not necessarily a weakness” but prevented him from enjoying his life and being happy.  A common man is more relatable than Kings, Gods, and the fairy-tales they introduce people to.
