Dear Mr. Romero
I think that the grade I should get is probably between an A and a B. Why? Because. The work that is given to I always complete it either correctly or not but. I always hand my work in on time. Another reason is I do pretty well in your classroom. My last reason is I am an overall good student in and out of your classroom.
My first reason why I should get this grade is all my work is given to you on time. Weather it is complete or done or given to you correctly it is always given on time. My work may not be the best work but I always give it my best. To me I believe that is important, that is basically what school is about not getting every thing right but getting it wring then the answer would come to you later and learn form your mistakes.
Second I think that I should get this grade because not only do I get my work done I do good in your classroom. When I sometimes talk and you ask me to be quiet I don’t give you any back talk no speech nothing I stop right then and there. Although I shouldn’t be doing that in the first place I still stop and get back too work. When I do talk I still do so while doing my work. So its not like I ‘m not getting any work done.
Last but not least I should get the grade between an A or
B because I am overall good student. Meaning that when
were in or out of the classroom I am still an respectful student.
For example when we go on a trip and maybe Im in your
group I still follow the rules. Another example is when our
class go on a walking trip I follow the rules and I follow
yours. One last reason is when you need something from me
it is usally always given because that is who I am.
Inconclusion is the grade I think that I should get an
grade between A and B. My first reason is because the
work that is given to me is given back to you complete and
sometimes done correctly. Another reason is pretty well in
your classroom. My last reason I am an overall good
student in or out of class.
Sincerely your student
Rodsheea Thomas
P.S I deserve any grade you give me.

MARGARET ABIGAIL WALKER
Most people may have heard of Margaret Walker most do not know the history behind her and what has caused us a change in the better. Margaret Abigail Walker was born July 6, 1915 in Birmingham, Alabama (1915-1998). Walker said that she grew up in a talking family. At a young age she grew very interested in her peoples history. Walker went to Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. When she graduated she went to Chicago, where Walker worked for the Federal Writers Project.
While working at Federal Writers’ Project. She worked her way up to the literary circle. After working there for four years, Walker left (W.F.P)
to go to the university of Iowa to purpose graduate study.
One of the poems in her first volume of poetry, for my people (1942), was her maters thesis. That poem right there won Margaret Walker the YALE YOUNGER POETS SERIES AWARD. FOR MY PEOPLE HAD ORIGNALLY APPEARED IN POERTY MAGAZINE, IN 1937. “No African American writer had yet produced poetry like this.” Not only was expressed in racial consciousness and protest, but also in its style.
Another one of her well-known work is Jubilee. It was about a slave family, and was based on the stories that Walker had heard about from her grandmother. That right their also made Margaret well known for her work.
As the years went by her people in different way. It was as mentioned written in a style that express the racial consciousness. When Walker had passed away more people seemed to take interest in talking about their heritages background. It also made people express themselves by telling the truth and being afraid if the Man was going to get them down for freedom of speech.

Parents should be allowed to hit their child.
12/19/07 Rodsheea Thomas
Should parents be allowed to hit their child?
I think parents should hit their child, but do you agree? Well I do because it sets them straight. It helps them with their behavior. Last self-respect and for others.
Parents should hit their child. Why? To set them straight. Let them know who call the shots. Not saying that they should hit them all the time. Just to put them back in their place. For example: When your child get out of hand put them back in order.
Another reason why parents should hit their child is. Behavior. Sometimes you have to let your child be a good person and sometimes hitting them gives them a taste of reality. Besides its not like their child is being beaten. It’s just a little slap or two. Hitting your child let them know that a thing that they do or are thinking of is wrong. Or maybe right but said at the wrong time.
One last reason why a child should be hit by their parent is. Self-respect and for others. Giving them a taste of their own medicine. How? They hurt you when they act out showing people like you didn’t raise them right. So words wont scare them when you cuss them out but your fist would. Not trying to be verbally and physically mean. But it is true. Now of days kids are not that affected of words. Sometimes you need to put your hand on them and your point across.
To bring things to wrap parents should be allowed to hit their child. Why? For one. To set your child straight. It helps them with their behavior. Last self-respect and for others. Again not saying that you should beat your child. Just a slap or two. As a parent and maybe as a child do you think that it is fair for a parent to hit their child still? I know I do.
