#5 - Thoughts about "Thug Day"

I feel like there is truth about white boy males imitating what a thug is; they resort to thinking about African American boys or men. I do understand the reason why they would think about African Americans and the word thug because of the history behind it. When you see or hear the word "thug", I feel like that word is attached to a certain race, basically Black people. I know there is a long history of how Black men have been criminalized and stereotyped as dangerous and violent. 

#6 - The Ones Who Walks Away From Omelas

 I would sacrifice the happiness of everyone for the child because it's not fair that a literal child has to go through all this suffering and pain alone. It has me questioning why a whole city's happiness relies on a child? I think the suffering the child is enduring is from the people who reside in the city of Omelas. I believe the whole city should embrace the suffering together to see how it feels and why it is very wrong for a child to carry this responsibility alone. 

#4 - Thogughts about Tianamen Sqaure

If you have a strong desire and are very passionate about what you believe in, then it is easier to stand up for it. Despite being scared of oppressive factors that would try to get in your way, I believe you should go that extra mile when there are people who are against you. The guy who stood up against the tanks is a brave man  mk,,

1.  I am a certified Phlebotomy technician who enjoys doing blood work and see how this career could help me in my journey to the job I'm pursuing. 2. I am a person who loves to listen to people's issues and find a solution within them. 3. I love challenges to test my limits and see what I need to work on. 4. I'm a jolly person, and I love to smile and laugh.  5. I am a helpful person who loves assisting people or volunteering anywhere I can, just for people to get the help they need. 

#1 - Ithaka

Stanza three captured my attention with how the author is telling the audience to keep Ithaka in mind. I believe the author is giving advice or wisdom in metaphors. Ithaka is the final destination, which I think you will meet regardless of how your journey goes. However, don't rush to meet it; enjoy your life to the fullest until old age. The wealth, wisdom, and accomplishments you have gained or achieved until that point are what make the experience better once you reach Ithaka.
