Abortion for or against

I am against abortion 100%, because it's legal murder to an unborn child who did not ask to be in this world, but was taken away because of the choice the mother had made. This is not a peccadillo choice but rather a major one because women who get abortions are not aware of how abortion affect not only the unborn fetus but her body as well. What she have to realize is that when going through any abortion process is indelibly detrimental to her body. When I hear a female who brags on abortion I feel antipathy toward that female. How can you brag about killing a harmless and innocent soul because of the mistakes and irresponsibilities on her behalf. That is unfair to the child to pay for the mistakes of someone else. Children are gifts from God. God is the only one who decides whom to give or take life from. So who are we to get rid of a gift that was given to us by God to love, cherish, and protect! When I think about abortion I hear a little voice in my head saying " Mommy why are you hurting me, don't you love me any more? Why are you getting rid of me?" It hurts because many women say they are Christians but are breaking one of the ten commandments. THOU SHALL NOT KILL! Please if you are a women and a christian think twice about your decisions and abortion because when it all boils down abortion is still murder. Seasoned with love, Brandi.

Everday Use by Alice Walker

The setting in Everyday Use was in Georgia in 1973. The main characters were Maggie, Dee (Jaunjero), Momma, and Hakim ( a Muslim). Maggie and Dee, who later changes her name to Jaunjero, are the daughters of Momma. The movie begins with Momma rocking in her rocking chair in the front yard waiting to check the mail. When she finally checks her the mail, she come across a letter from Dee and starts to read it. Dee is the only one who went off to college to get an education. As Momma gets excited uncontrollably, Maggie is in the bathroom mirror examining her burned body, feeling hopeless. Maggie was caught in the fire at their previous house . Momma save her by pulling her out. Ever since then Maggie very timid with low self-esteem feeling as though Momma loved Dee more; leaving her feeling neglected. Momma ran in the house to inform Maggie that her sister is coming home. Maggie asks Momma how does she look so she can feel a little better about herself. Maggie pace fully walks outside so Momma could view her; Momma complimented her on how nice she looked. On the day of Dee's arrival, Momma sat rocking in her chair with Maggie standing next to her. As Dee pulled up in the yard, Momma noticed that she had brought a guess. Dee Hakim got out the car to greet Momma and Maggie. She took a lot pictures of them both. After that, she then introduced Hakim to Momma and Maggie. Momma couldn't get Hakim name right to save her life. Dee also informed Momma and Maggie that she changed her name. They had their disagreements about the the reason why she had done so and the history behind the name. She couldn't get her name right neither,seconds after they all went inside to eat. As they were eating, everyone were conversing; Maggie not saying anything as usual. Juanjero briefly talk to Maggie to see what she has been up to; Maggie announced her engagement to John Thomas. Several minutes Momma mentioned how Dee haven't written her in six years. Jaunjero made many excuses about being too busy and then insults Momma. Many times. Juanjero notices the churn top and bucket and explains to Momma what she can use it for; the churn top for the center piece for her table and bucket for a flower vase. Momma gave her a brief history regarding the yellow wood churner and then gives the churner to Juanjero. As Juanjero continues to snoop around the house for valuable artifacts, she discovered two particular quilts that her grandmother made. Momma suggested for her to get other two one quilts. The quilts made by their grandmother were to be given to Maggie when she get married. Because of the selfishness of Juanjero, she wanted them any way but Momma pleaded with Juanjero to take the other quilts; she wanted to use the quilts for tapestry in her house. She started to insult Maggie on why she did not did not deserve the quilts. Maggie heard the vicious insults that were made toward her and said that she didn't need the quilts to remember her grandmother. When Momma heard what Maggie said she snatched the quilts from Juanjero and gave them to Maggie. Juanjero mouthed off about how they don't know who they are and stormed out of the house and left. Maggie felt a new light about herself. She felt loved and wanted. Juanjero's motive was to get the valuables of her home to use them to decorate her house; forgetting the heritage of them. The themes of this movie was loneliness, deceit, selfishness, happiness, confidence and love.

I've Been to the Moutaintop Speech

This was the speech the last speech that Dr. King had done before his murder in Memphis, TN, on April 4, 1968. Dr King did not abscond the truth about the ineffable conditions that African Americans had to endure during the civil rights movement. When King spoke about the moutaintop, he basically said that whether or not he would live or die, he just wanted to do God's will. Even though he was stabbed in the chest, he realized that if he had "sneezed" he would have died. Dr. King knew that if he had died that his dream would have became a nightmare but he knew God had a purpose for his life. When he made his speech, to me, was like he fortold his death because he knew that his purpose had ran it's course. Though he was addressing the problems pertaing the sanitation workers, he felt lugubrious about how the segregated south and their "Jim Crow" mentality of hate continued to spread like conflagrations . Dr. King was very influential to people of all races across the globe. We should look at Dr. King's life so that we may become better people knowing that we all can have our dreams come true if we have a vision. He was a very audacious leader that believed that non-violence, perserverence and a strong faith in God. Though they murdered Dr. Martin Luther King, but his dream will always remain eternal.

The Ballot or the Bullet

Malcom X's speech "The Ballot or the Bullet" was so dynamic and powerful because as I was listening to him speak with such passion, it reminded me about our economy today. His blandishing speech would have made me take some action in fighting for the black enconomy if I were alive then. What stood out about the speech was when he quoted," that's the problem with the people is that they're singing too much; they need to stop singing and start swinging!" How I perceived that particular quote is that you do not have to use violence in order to get you point across; it's a thing called perserverence to get to that goal that you're trying to reach. Malcom X were saying to the blacks, in that time period, that they would support the whites and their businesses, but on the other hand you could not get one of them to support their black owned businesses; back then blacks did not have many opportunities then as do today. He advocated for blacks to support themselves and their businesses. When he spoke about the war he was very explicit on how the white man can not win a war on foot but with airplanes and atomic bombs. It made me feel a fervid feeling of how the economy fell then and now have similar attributes. It was kind of scary to me but very true. This is a speech is one of the best I have heard in my lifetime!

My favorite time of the year

My favorite times of the year is Winter and Fall. Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year Georgia. The color of the leaves on the trees depicts a plethora of different shades of oranges, reds, yellows, and browns. I remember my dad used make us rake the leaves and we dreaded every moment of it. The fulfilling part was when we raked the leaves in a big pile and jumped in them. When I think about Winter it reminds me of winter wonderland . Though the air is extremely cold in Georgia, the smell from the fire place fills the air with the ambrosia of hickory wood. When it rains the water freezes on the trees making the trees look like glass. The snow, looks like fluffy white cotton. One of the attributes I love about the cold weather is that when I go to bed, I turn on the heater and me and my bear cuddle up nice and cozy and go to sleep!

My day at the beach!!!!!!

My day at the beach can be described a sanguine. A day at the beach gives me such tranquility because the roaring of the waves drives me in a state of relaxation! The waves have a taciturn way of communicating with me; causing me to feel at ease with myself. The weather is temperate most of the time but blazing on another occasions. I love the beach because it's a venerator of one of God's most beautiful creations on earth. Sometime I just sit back and think of many things that come to my mind or just need some fresh air to clear my mind. The beach is a place where I would go with someone special just to sit and talk just because the setting is right. There are some things I truly despise about the beach, the unwanted tans and sunburns. I recently went to the beach and I had a blast except I had got two shades darker. What a bomber!

Emmett Till's Murder

Emmett Till was a child anyone would love because of his sense of humor and his outgoing personality. Emmett Till was only fouteen years when he was brutally murdered in Mississippi. His murder was so malevolent, that, his mother requested to have an open casket funeral just so the public could see just how the nefarious acts of racism and injustice emerged in the south. There was about 50,000 people who viewed Emmetts Body. This explains the disparagement of African Americans of the of the segregated south! "Jim Crow" gave the permission for this terrible act of malignent behavior towards the people who technically who built this nation but becuase of the color of their skin, were treated inhumanely. The jusitice system was so discombobulated that years after Emmett's death, Mammie reopened the case, after the murderer's we aquitted previously, tried to get justice for her son and due to racism remained useless. Emmett Till will always be an example of how the practice of racism arise. African Americans should look at Emmett Till life story and understand what racism can cause. Meaning, that though we don't see racism as did the 1960's, it is still existant today.

Yes We Can!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barak Obama started out his speech giving thanks to all the people that help him to get where he is and the state of S.C. While reading Barak Obama's speech, had convinced me to believe that he is a very audacious man. He spoke so eloquently of the conditions of the United States of America that everything he stated was corroborated. He spoke as if he had already saw an emulation of this country's success. As I continued reading his speech , I got the impression that he have such a passion to see the problems that are corrupting the U.S. vanish by us as a people coming together, dispite the negativity from opposing others, by doing the what people said could not be done . Obama noticed the inchoateness of our country's downfall and believe's that it can be changed through change. He talked about how health care should be improved for the families who can not afford healthcare. He also spoke about fighting a pointless war; in which I truly agree with! I think that Obama is ingenious to the fact of him trying to turn an lugubrious nation back the way it is supposed to be. I belive we can have a better future if we believe in change.

My Autobiography

My name is Brandi Me' Chelle Gay and I am from Riverdale, GA. I attend Bethune-Cookman University and my classification is a freshman. My major is Biology concentrating on Pre-Veterinary Medicine. I have four sisters and two brothers from my dad and my mom has three out of the seven. My parents are Rhonda Denise Law and Lloyd Cornell Gay Sr. They have been divorced for almost ten years; making my mom a floundering single parent. My mom is my butress, God being first, because when I look at the ineffable hardships of her life existance, I push myself to do better. My mom were always explicit about how she wanted her children to do better than she had done through out her life. Her prayers and her guileless in our future has landed us in college; my brother Cornealius who attends Edward Waters College in Jacksonville, FL, a sophmore, and me and my twin attends B-CU. I wouldn't say I've had the worse childhood but I did not have the best. In my life I have encountered a lot of obstacles in my life, but I can say that they were only ephemeral. The only reason I am where i'm at is because of the grace God and I put him first in all that I do.
