What does it mean to be black?

What does it mean to be BLACK? It could mean alot of things. It could mean that you are trapped inside this white world and born with felonies. As the black race as a whole we can change that and become successful, but Black -on- Black discrimination is stopping us. Touré criticizes the kinds of pressure and prejudice that many Black feels from those who also call themselves Black. White-on-Black racism is about making us feel less humanity, less valued, and less intelligent. Being black just means we are in a lose-lose situation at all times.

Clasd review

Today we got into groups and had to answer free response questions. My group had question 1. "What is the allegory  the pardoner tells in the pardoners tale?" My answer was that greed is the root of all evil and the gold coins has caused the 3 rioters to commit evil deeds. One of the group members decided to reword it, but it was very similar to my answer.

Today we were answering each group question that we made up yesterday. Our question Was evolved around theme. The question we came up with didn't quite fit Mr. Reases' standards. The question i came up with yesterday didn't fit my groups standards. We came up with a new one and it was similar to mines from yesterday.

Today we took a multiple choice quiz. I didn't do as well as i wanted.i was having a hard time remembering key events from the pardoners tale during the quiz. But thats my flaw, i freeze up whenever I'm taking a quiz or test. I'm still looking for solutions, but I'll come around eventually.

Today we read the pardoners tale. I had a hard time staying focused during the first half of class because i kept dozing off.the pardoners tale was kinda interesting because ot talks about how money is the root of evil. There were 3 halacious giys tjat were looking for death, but found gold. They were planning to bring it back at night, but their greed took over. They planned to cross each  other. Theneventually killed each other and found death.

Today we read more of the canterbury tales.its starting to get a little more interesting, but i still had a hard time focusing. In the tale of the "Wife of Bath" the queen has given the a chance to find the answer to her question. He came back with the answer " women want sovereignty of their relationship". But the person whom he got the answer from has deceived him and is now forcing him to marry her. He later is regrets it because the woman was old and ugly.

Class reveiw

Today we were reading the canterbury tales. We discussed the characteristics of some of the characters. While reading i found it kinda hard to stay focused because it didn't get my attention. In my opinion the tales are dull. We read the tale of the Wife of Bath. In that tale she asked the knight "what do women desire the most?". No one really knows not even the women themselves.
