Fences questions

 Today we did an analysis of the title of the play Fences. We talked about the different types of fences both physical and metaphorical and that how people have a variety of uses for fences, but also that these fences that we put up can be harmful and negative. We also discussed what life was like back then in the 1950's for an African American family, for example that it might be harder financially for those people because of how they were treated. Going back to the fences with the metaphorical ones we talked about how keeping these fences up can be harmful for the people putting them up and for the people around them. I think that questions like these are good because they really make me think and look more internally. On a more neutral note I had gym today and we had gone outside to the track which was nice because you can finally tell that it is September now because the temperature has at last dropped and there is even a nice breeze.

 Today we were tasked with writing a poem on our culture, And to be honest I do have some ideas but I feel like all of the poems I have read before are kind of messing with my ideas. I know that the poems we write can be freeform but 98% of the poems I have read in my life always rhymed so for some reason I feel like I have to make mine rhyme too, I'll probably just have to work with what ever I have got so we'll see how it goes. Aside from that nothing really happened today although I was trying to go to gym today and there was a fight right outside of the entrance to the gym, I don't really know why they were fighting and I also don't really know who they were but I just think thats because I usually like to mind my business, but that's all anyway.

Write about a feeling that took you by surprise

 My dad just had his birthday and my step-mom had got me to sign his card but I wasnt allowed to look at the back of the card because apparently It would spoil the surprise which confused me because it wasnt even my birthday. Though after we had dinner he started to open his gifts and he got to the big box that had the gift that was pictured on the back of the card. The gift was a stand and chair for a racing simulation because we already had the wheel and pedels. Even though it was his gift I knew that he was gonna let me use it and I was super shocked when he unwrapped it. Today we learned about the open defication problem in India. I kinda understand if maybe you are in a rural part of the country but if you even have one latrine then I think its weird that you wouldnt use it. I guess some beliefs are more powerful than the belief in hygine.

The impact of gender roles

 Today we went over gender roles and how thay impact us. We went over some slides and we did an assignment about gender roles and how they impact ourselves and our culture, And how the people around us form our beliefs in what our roles should be. It was an okay class today it wasn´t really my favorite but thats probably because it doesn´t really interest me. I also had a nice easy day today and I had a small quiz which I got an 100 on so that was a nice satisfying second period.
