In this assignment we were suppose to read the text deeper and then look for words we liked. This speech has been heard by millions but when we right a summary nobody will be the same. The text is just that deep. ————————————————————————————————————————————————

Five Score Years Ago

A Great American Made a great statement

   That then turned him into signing The Emancipation Proclamation

He hoped that this would save Millions of Negro Slaves

But a hundred years later the Negroes here today are still not free

They are persecuted, beaten, and even put to death because of the color of their skin

It is now time to cash in our check to this “free government”

We deserve to be free and  have the same rights as whites.

This color on my skin doesn’t matter it’s the content of our character

I have a dream that we can finally sing

“Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

A moment happens every nano second. The best way to capture this is with picture. This picture freezes time and lets you see into that moment. But what Mrs. Studer challenged us is writing about a moment in 25 words. You needed to describe a moment in words. Describe the setting, feeling, what you are seeing is what we were challenged to do. And I think I accomplished that.

I think that I did pretty good on my fitness tests. I got 74 on the pacer, 75 on the curl ups, 12 pushups, and 8.00 and 8.00 on sit and reach. I got all passing grades on that and some I even went above and beyond. I do need to work on my body mass index though it is a bit to high ,but I think that will even out when I start playing soccer more and go hiking more during the summer. I do though, believe that I achieved my goals.e

For the last month Mrs. Studer and us ,as students, have been talking, discussing, and learning about civil rights and what happened. Civil Rights was a big part of our history and we need to understand that not all white people were racist some even supported a blacks and did protests. The leader of all these protests were Dr. King better known as Martin Luther King Jr. And one of his best known quote is “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin but by their content of their character.

The readings we have read have mostly told us about our past. The past is always worse than the present. Because once we experience we learn from our mistakes or our success. We made a mistake by persecuting people with black skin and black culture. We read about emmit till who was murdered for saying “Bye Baby” to a white girl. Murdered, He wasn’t beat up, talked too, or had his house blown up. He was murdered for two simple words. I believe when Martin Luther King said he wanted people to be judged by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin, I think he was right.

During this time that we have talked about the civil rights I have learned that probably thousands of people died just because of a color of skin. I have learned that people need to to start judging by how people act and not how people look.

Hey My Clickers, But i guess since you are reading this you are My Readers so Enjoy

Speeches can effect peoples lives in so many different ways. And Dr. Martin Luther King Jr did that with just about every speech he gave. But to narrow it down to just one speech that effected the most people, It would have to be the “I have a Dream” Speech is his best. And our assignment was to take this amazing speech and move it around a bit to make a poem. Enjoy
