A Lie

Almost 10 years of my life I had gone without knowing I had a half brother and a half sister. One day My dad, mom, and I went to Florida to go visit some "family". At the time I still did not know that my half brother or sister existed. When we got to Florida my dad got on the phone with someone and I had asked who he was on the phone with and he said Jessica. Um Jessica? was my thought process, then he said it was his daughter from before. I was so confused at the time and as I put pieces together, I found out that this was not my dads first marriage, he had been married before. As a kid I wondered why he never told me, but now that I'm older I see why he never wanted to talk about it. It hurt my dad to talk about that because I'm sure that was hard time for him so I never really asked him about it. Now in present time I have a good relationship with my half brother and sister and still a great relationship with my dad. I was a bit disappointed at first because they could've been in my life the whole time which I think I would've appreciated having some older influences. It's okay because I understand why he did it now.

Elevator

In the video the different people come in playing their music, white people, mixed, and then an African American man comes in and they all immediately turn off their music. I think the author's purpose was to maybe show us how people really were stereotyping an African American man. He came in with a speaker and but he put his headphones in, I felt that everyone in that elevator thought he was going to blast music. I think the audience is pointed at the people who still look at African Americans and continue to still stereotype them. Because the point the director is trying to make is that look they assumed this and he did the complete opposite. I think the first way is to drop the stereotypes you see how they became comfortable after he put his headphones in and showed manners, it should always be like that. The next way is to come together as a community if everybd=ody doesn't come together like shown in the video you get that everybody playing their own music. Lastly, monkey...

Pandemic music

I am from Georgia, with that being said you know I have to add my country songs to the mix. nd it's The first song I would add to my playlist would be Life is a Highway by Rascal Flatts, this is my jam because as a kid and growing up I watched the movie cars at least 200 times and believe me when this song came on in the movie I sang my heart out every time. Even now I still sing my heart out to it because it reminds me of being a kid still. Another country song I would add would be Rumor by Lee Brice because I have had this song on my "country bangers" playlist for a while now but this year I made some good friends and we would go on drives and 9 times out of ten this song would play and we would all sing our hearts out. Sadly I won't see these friends for a while because of covid but it reminds me of the good times. This may be the last country song I add but it is Cruise by Florida Georgia Line. I would add this one because my senior year my best friend and I woul...

Conflicts

Neil Gaiman develops tension in the book by the narrator telling us that he always listens to his dad and respects his dad. Throughout the story, his dad is the alpha dog, he will do what his dad says. Then when the babysitter, Ursala arrived she really set a border between the adult world and the world of the children. Ursala set the border when she felt that she was older so she could boss around whoever she wanted because she was the adult in the house. Towards the end of the book, the problem is not really resolved but more or less not dealt with. Such as his parents forgetting everything after the stiched the bad memory out of them. The border of the adults and children still existed towards the end even after all that happened.
