Today in class we reviewed Essay 2: Pronoun Agreement. I have changed my mind. I want students to turn their essays in. I think it will be easier to get them back to you. I might change that later (smile).
Right now I am behind. What I suggest is you can email them to me and print a copy. Students in the afternoon class are behind in the reading. Only three students are up to part three. Homework is to complete the book and keep working on the Pidd exercises. Today in the afternoon class we completed two quizzes: Pronoun Agreement and Pronoun Case.
I am impressed by a few students' work, Jennifer and Mickey are two as well as Arthur and Jason, Leslie and Lyla. In the morning class Aman and Manuel.
If students haven't posted questions taken from one of the chapters 1-5 in Dyson, and then responded to a question in 3 paragraphs including a citation in each paragraph, then please do so. Also, respond to another student's post.
Continue with your character profiles. Add information from the current readings. Thursday we will do some writing, so read part three.
Cyber-Assignments
Morning class post your thesis sentence response to one of the two poems: "Untitled" or "When Ur Heart Turns Cold."
On another note:
Troy Anthony Davis did not receive a pardon from the Georgia Board of Corrections so if anyone wants for extra credit to respond to the appeal for clemency, write a letter stating why you do not feel Davis should be executed. There is a petition on the website: http://www.innocenceproject.org/
In Tupac's poem, "Untitled," he speaks about captivity.
You can post the letter here.

In the poem "Untitled" Tupac expresses his feelings of being trapped in a worthless non- appreciated life that disappears in his imagination which allows him to escape through dreams, but when awoken feels unbearable to face views of his life.

in the poem "Untitled" Tupac talks about the feeling of being captured. He expresses how his ideal world looks and how he wishes it would be.Thats when it hits you that life is the opposite and far from his world.

In the poem "When Ure Hearts Turn Cold" Tupac shows that when your hearts turn cold you don't feel any thing and he is trying to say that his hearts turn cold from what he saw in life and you can not understand how it is look like unless your hearts turn cold.

In the poem “When Your Heart Turns Cold” Tupac is trying to tell the reader that once you have created that hole through your heart then it cannot be healed and it will stay as wounded. It can be from loosing someone dear to them, something that has happened that dramatically changed your behavior, or something that have changed your feelings or your presence.

Untitled
The poem “I cannot bear captivity 4 I would rather be stricken blind than 2 live without expression of mind” pg. 15 from The Rose that grew from Concrete focus on Shakur’s mentality that he himself won’t be imprisoned for his creative thought process through the oppression of society, political affiliations and his peers. No one can hold him down except himself and that isn’t what he truly believed to fulfill his destiny as a musical artist but also a “black man” in which creatively and self expression is acknowledge to the masses.
