Laramie clips

After watching the clips we watched over the last week it really made me change my mind on really what happened. At first after reading the book I thought that what happened to Matthew Shepard was a hate crime just because he was a homosexual that's why they beat him up and killed him. but after watching the clips we watched it changed my mind dramatically, instead of thinking it was a hate crime I thought to myself that it really had no reason to do with whether he was gay, it really had to do with drugs, and that they wanted to rob him of everything he had and had nothing to do with whether he was gay or not.

memoir reflection #2

One of the memoirs that caught my eyes was the Don't Put Me In Coach what I liked about this memoir is that it shows even tho your not very good at playing basketball you can still give everything you got to make the team by walking on . also what I liked was that this ordinary, goofy, funny  is best friends with one of the best players to ever go to Ohio state Greg Oden soon to be the number one player taken in the draft.

knowing the Vietnam War

Vietnam War. what I know about this war is that it was the first war that was televised or captured on camera.This war is the only war that the united states did not come out with a win at the end of it america had to pull all the troops out of Vietnam . Another thing that I know about the Vietnam war is that its one of the only wars that the US government felt that they should stay out of it and not go all out into this war even some of the people felt like we should stay out of it.                                                                          

Lawrence Taylor

Over The Edge. Why I picked this book is because its about one of the greatest football players to ever play the game. This player is considered to be the greatest linebacker ever,why I picked it as well was just to see his life,  how he lived, and how he grew up. To see that even when you think you have everything, you honestly have nothing without even knowing it. seeing that people that seem so great and so amazing are just human, and have many struggles, when it seems like there life is great.

memoir reflection #1

The memoir that caught my attention was the Tim Tebow through my eyes why I liked this presentation  was because you saw the hard work and dedication he put into the game football, you saw his preparation. through , you saw that Tim Tebow had so many doubters to say he couldn't play QB in college, or he couldn't make it to the league, or win a Heisman. even with all those doubters he wanted to prove each and everyone wrong and he spent so much time doing so. what i liked as well from this presentation you see that Tebow is a very humble and godly man and that's something that I inspire to be.  

The Laramie project

After reading act 1 in the book Laramie project.  it hard  to understand the book but at times its hard,slow but it is very confusing at times what they are talking about, and who they are talking to. And so many people are talking so its hard to figure out what they mean when they are talking at times. Another reason its hard to read is that one person is talking about something, and then all of a sudden another person is talking about something else totally different. A lot of the time they answer someones questions from earlier or asking a question so its hard to understand. for example trish steger -Matt used to come into my shop that's how I knew him. Andy Paris it was the first time I heard him referred to as Matt instead of Matthew. Did he go by Matt to everyone. its just confusing how they change it up like that.
