I am a Plow

I am a plow.  This blog is easily the most confusing that I have written about this year in american lit.  If I were a plow I would be pulled by a horse.  I would go through the toughest earth and turn it very soft.  I would be one of the more effective plows even though I am pulled by a horse not a stronger animal.  I would have been crafted as the best plow ever not a cheap plow that you would by from target.  You bought me at macy's.  I would have been feared by the ground that was to be plowed by me.  The horse that pulled me would not have to work hard pulling me because I was so light.  I would not have brute strength on my side but I would have been manufactured so precisely that I would not need to be strong because I was used wisely.  The horse that pulled me knew how to use me and was not like a mule that would just pull me, the horse had some skill.  Yes, if I were a plow I would be envied by all who saw what I could do.  Some would try to steal me but I would not work with the animals that they used to pull me.  My horse was the only one that knew how to pull me.  Without that horse I would be useless.

classroom improvements

Mr. McCarthy there is not a whole lot I do not like about your class (suck up alert)  but there are a few improvements that I feel will make everyone’s learning experience better.  For one you should get a bigger classroom.  I know you don’t have control over this but sometimes I feel smushed in classes.  All of my classes have small rooms so it is not necessarily just your class.  Another thing that should not be happening in your class are notes on every chapter of the book that we are reading.  I understand why we take them and I get your logic but it is just so time consuming that sometimes I forget what I am even taking notes on. Not really, but they are boring, most of the time.  One more thing, you should put Noah back on paper clips.  Haha just kidding, or am I.  That’s really all I have a grudge against in your class.  I like the cat pictures on the daily journals.  They are definetly a plus.

modern day slavery

Comparing today’s life and society compared to back when there was slavery in America is very hard.  There still is slavery in some parts of the world today, which is horrible.  But there is not the kind of slavery we think about in present day America.  Or is there?  No.  In my opinion it is impossible to have slavery like there was less than two hundred years ago in America or any other civilized country in present time.  But there are some situations that feel and look like slavery to me.  The main one is when an immigrant from a different country is looking for a job and gets one but their employer makes them do extra work and whatever they say or they will tell the government that they have done something illegal. Being an immigrant that barely speaks english and does not understand Americas’s laws that person would have to obey and essentially be their employers slave.  In America this seems to be one of the closest things to slavery I can think of.
