blog 8

this week we have gotten a good portion of our documentary started, we had a very good trailer and we have decided to make that the start of our documentary. we have set up some good interviews and are planning to have them done by next week. the reading this week was really interesting, i enjoyed that it was something from mlk that was new, it kind of gave me a different look on him and i think that now i want to see what else i havent read of his. overall i have been enjoying working with my group  and i cant wait to have it all done

# Five

This week i didnt truly understand what ms hodge wanted us to write about on our blog about this poem by langston hughes. So i will just go over my thoughts about the poem in general. Theme for english B was somewhat of a play on words, it walked you (litterally walked you) through his day and then discribed how he felt about writing for his white instructor. He connects his black herritage of being in harlem and hearing new york, to this new becoming of a "colored" man, the only one in class to be there in college taking this English B class. When he connects being American with the instructor that made me think he was turning his poem aroud and that was cool but then at the end he states " Although you're older-and white-and somewhat more free" it made me think that there is a little hostility towards this class because he is the only black person in there. Maybe he feels out of place or maybe he just isnt enjoying it, i dont know but i know that this was an intreaguing poem and i enjoyed a change in the readings. DUCES
