Final Thoughts about Blogging and Leaving Home

I've only been blogging for a few months. I came to this course 6 weeks later. I enjoyed blogging a lot. I think it is important to blog and analyze what you read. It was fun connecting to the stories from my personal experience. And, I liked reading other people's blogs- how their opinion is different than mine.

Blogging made me read the stories, if it wasn't for blogging- I wouldn't read the book Leaving Home. I refuse to read what I don't have to. So, it was a good way to force me to read.

And, I read Thy's message. I didn't realize every story related to having to leave home. She makes a good analyze on that. I do agree. And, everyone needs to leave home at some point in their life so they can learn how to be more open to stuff. And learn how to be independent.

I like to have these blogs, and I will keep them. And, I don't know what I will do now because I want to add more blogs later. But, we will see what happens. I would like to write and express my feelings- but I feel like noone reads my blogs- only you Sharon.

Thanks Sharon, for providing blogs. It's a great way to express and analyze from Leaving Home. My mother read my blogs she said she liked them! =D

-In addition, I took Linguistic class- and I learned that I have NO native language. because I grew up SEE- and SEE isn't a language. So, for that blog- I have no native language- I just have ASL fluency. That's all I am =D

Recitatif by Toni Morrison

I read Recitatif by Toni Morrison. The picture on the left side is a picture of her. I looked up on the internet to see what Recitatif means. It is a style of musical between a song and an ordinary speech. For more information visit this website. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recitatif


There were two eight years old girls that met each Twyla and Roberta. One of them was white, the other was black. (They were like salt and pepper).I wasn't sure which was which. Race color doesn't matter to me. I assume that Twyla is the narrator of the story. They both got F's in school. Twyla got F's because she couldn't remember what she read. Roberta got F's because she couldn't read and she didn't listen to the teacher.


I thought, first of all they are 8 years old. When I was 8 I was having fun in school, not worrying what grades I got. I never knew if I got F's or A's. I didn't know I was being graded. School was like a "play place" for me at the age of 8. I don't think 8 years old children should be worried if they get F's. They are young, it's time for them to enjoy their childhood- not worry oh I got F's. And I thought that was great they were being exposed to different races- even if I don't think it matters what color skin we are. But, the reason why I don't think color skins matter is because I see different type of people everyday. I am used to it, it's good to expose to young children.

It just shocks me at the fact they are 8 years old and they are already calling a mute kid a dummy. That won't be acceptable for me when I see kids do that. The other children in the orphange parents were dead. But, these two girls parents were still alive.

Twyla and Roberta met each other again later in life and Twyla asked Roberta if she could read. She picked up a menu and started reading off it. That makes me think, that I should not judge how people look like now- just from what I remember when they were younger. A girl today still hates me because I hitted her when I was 5 years old. People change when they get a lot older- and she is still mad at me about that- immature. Whatever!

Roberta smoked and did drugs. But Twyla worked at a restaurant.

The point of this story is that children should be exposed to different type of people, so children can learn later in life that different races don't make a difference. We are all humans and go through different experiences.
