slave owners

Why didn’t slave owners payed the slaves at least for working hard for them? In the book kindred talked about how slaves were treated. In one part there is a man who is an owner and he takes advantage of Dana and tries to violate her because she is a slave. This is one reason why many slaves thought about about killing  owners because they wanted freedom and were slaves.
  
One reason why slaves thought about killing their owners was because their owners treated them  bad.For example,owners would hit them if they didn’t do the work and they didn’t let the slaves rest .Also because slaves worked hard for nothing because they got treated bad, and didn’t get paid.

In my opinion slaves should kill their owners because owners didn’t like slaves and treated them bad.Another reason why slaves should kill their owners is because owners didn’t pay slaves for working hard for them.owners hit slaves instead, and didn’t give them no break to rest when they were really tired.

One connection i have about slaves killing their owners is that one day i saw a movie that it talked about a women who worked for a men, and he sometimes didn’t pay her.The women was feeling scared because the man got too close to her a lot , and he liked touching her.The women felt uncomfortable by a time after, and didn’t leave because she was scared.one day the man violated her with his force, and she told a friend of her.Her friend got really mad and told her that he was going to kill the guy who violated her.

In my opinion i think slaves should kill owners if they are being mean or not respecting them.I also think everyone should have respect to others because then sometimes people cause problems if their not respecting or treating others the same way.

expo reflection post on the experience

My expo reflection is that gangs are an oppression because they jump people, kill people, steal, and they do drive-by. Gangs hit and kill people for no reason, people need to be care full with the color of clothes they wear or how they act or what they do. Gangs sometimes confuse people and kill them.

College For All Essay


The world I came from is life, and to study to get to college, and also learn new things in school and be smart. School is important because you lean and you get a good education in life. Some opportunities that had been available to me in my community or at my school are graduating, have a good education, and to be someone in life, like to have a good job. An issue in my life is when at school was in English, on 6th and 7th grade I had D’s or F’s most of the times. Now in 8th grade id changed the result and now I have B’s, That was my goal in 7th grade to have good grades now in 8th grade. What I did to have a good grade is to always do my homework, try to finish always my class work, and to pay attention in class.                                                                                                                                                                  
College means to me to be successful, educational, important, and a scholar person in life. I want to go to college because I want to be someone in life that has a good education and a good job. Going to college can help you a lot in the future and then you can help your family and can be able to support them. When people don’t go to college they most of the times end up looking for work in the streets or sometimes end up poor.                                                                                                Going to college is so important because you might not want to end up bad. And college is so important for your education because some day you will be an important person in life. College helps you get prepared for working in a good place and helping your family also so they wont  have to suffer and that they can feel very proud of you.
