Gender Roles

 Today in class we discussed and defined gender roles. After attending class, I've been able to identify and learn gender roles in my family and culture. I also heard the different perspectives of gender roles in different people's cultures. I liked how we learned about this topic through a PowerPoint presentation. I am doing okay.

Prompt: Write about a truth you were afraid to accept.

 A truth I was afraid to accept was that American history that was taught in Elementary and Middle school was skewed towards a certain perspective that made certain groups of people appear better than they actually were. For instance, in Elementary school, I was taught that the origin of Thanksgiving was a peaceful congregation between English Settlers and the American Indians where food was exchanged. In reality, the English settlers often killed the Native American population, mainly due to the spread of airborne diseases.  Today in Multicultural Literature we would’ve continued and possibly finish our presentations today, however, a power outage resulted in the entire school having no electricity or internet, which meant that working on our presentations would’ve been impossible. Not much work can be done without electricity or the internet. I am doing good.

Prompt: Write about a fear you have overcome.

     I used to dread the thought of roller coasters, but I decided to overcome my fear by riding Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia. As the coaster climbed its towering 200-foot hill, my heart pounded, and I questioned my bravery. But when we plunged down that first drop, the fear vanished, replaced by exhilaration and freedom. By the time the ride ended, I felt invincible, knowing I'd left my fear behind on those twisting, thrilling tracks.

Prompt: Write about an adventure you would like to go on.

 I’d love to take a sailing trip along the Pacific coast, starting from California and heading down toward Mexico. The journey would involve stopping at various coastal towns, exploring quiet coves, and enjoying fresh seafood right off the boat. During the day, I’d learn to navigate the open water and watch for dolphins and sea lions swimming alongside. At night, I’d anchor in a calm bay, falling asleep to the sound of waves gently lapping against the boat. Today in Multicultural Literature we continued working on our presentations regarding “A Devoted Son.” After everyone had finished reading the short story yesterday, we began to work on our presentation today in class. “A Devoted Son” greatly portrays the notion that what’s best in theory may not always be the best in reality, such as providing Verma only medicine that made him want to be let go. At the end, the father despised having a devoted son that regulated every aspect of his life. I am doing good.
