A Mystery ( CRR )

In class we have been reading "The Heart Of Darkness" , we have been interperting, concluding, making ideas, assumptions, inferences to what is the them or who the book is about, yet we still do not know. Me & my group came up with the idea of the them to be "Mystery" , we chose this because as you are reading the book you hear many opinions and expressions about who Mr.Kurtz is but do not really know who he is , we also inferred that Marlow is racist yet we think he has a little bit of morality in him. We also thought that the brick maker was a good person ; however from reading the book more , I believe the brick maker is really the evil guy and not Mr. Kurtz. Another theme which came that connects to the brick maker being evil or not was the "Good or evil" theme which Taina's group came up with , which interested me a lot because it helped me connect to who really has morality in their beliefs. Hyra's group believe that theme was colonization which I can agree with because the book describes slaves and how they were enslaved , it describes the ways they were mistreated and blame for certain situations that occurred like the fire in the house that Marlow witnessed but didn't take in action for. This book is hard to understand but I believe that the Heart of Darkness is full of surprises which makes us keep changing our minds about a certain persons character in the book , which is why I believe the theme is a Mystery.

Debate (FC)

There are many advantages in attending and HBCU. First in for most there is no minority community , which usually welcomes a person and make them feel more welcomed. Scholars have majority of the leadership so they are more noticed and have more opportunities. Graduation rates are higher compared to a PWC, after graduating in HBCU they are more looked at with much pride , respect, and prestige. There are many people who graduated from HBCU's that are currently successful in life today such as Oprah Winfrey who attended Tennessee State University with a full scholarship and Spike Lee who attended Morhouse College. Both are successful philanthropist and are billionaires today that are a huge role model to all students internationally. Experiencing life at HBCU will give you a place to make a second home and through wonderful clubs like sororities and fertinities you are able to embrace these ideas and are more definite with a career because you are sponsored by many after graduating.

Leadership ( ID)

There have been man few selected to be in this class called the Leadership Class. Its only the people who are on track for getting the advance regents diploma but are also in The Science Research Class. Mr. Davenport , our principal teaches the top 15 students in the Leadership class. Ar first , I didn't understand what the class was about , but now we are able to look at past and present figures of leadership internationally and see how it reflects on decisions made around the world.In the leadership class , we are able to read articles and speeches from powerful people from the past like Malcolm X , Dubious, and Booker T. Washington. We are able to compare these men thoughts and ideas and see how it contribute and relate to society success today. Through our leadership class we are being prepared to be strong and keep a positive attitude when we are attacked with racism or discrimination.Leadership class turned out to be the most interesting class to me after Pre-calculus , I am able to connect to these powerful men we are talking about because just like them I can influence others and make a change that will last for over a time period. Their open minded , brave and intelligent characteristics as a person are what made them leaders and are what creates a better society today.Through Great leadership we are able to see the positive outcomes of society and creates a more peaceful and better place.Leadership class is a class that allows me to appreciate who I am and influences me to do better , because I too can become a leader.
