Questions for Active Reading.
1.
What do I think was Powell purposes writing this, and what was in he’s mind?
· On first place he was trying to explain how was he’s career and the development that he had while he was in NY, and all the good things that he always had at that time, so I guess in that moment he was thinking how successful he’s life was. But after the Coronel Bookhart call him and told him that in the moment that he find himself in Georgia everything was going to be totally different because Georgia wasn’t NY, at that moment I bet he was feeling frustrated and kind of confuse. When he finally got there he realizes what the Coronel was trying to say to him Racism! I can say that at that moment he was felling really uncomfortable and out of place. But even that he had problems for having color skin, it didn’t stop him for make his dreams come true, and still thinking about himself the same way he used to. He was trying to show how different places have different rules but it doesn’t matter how different it is, you can always make things come true if you believe in yourself like he did.
· I think he was trying to show this to all type of readers, because racism its not only affecting mature or young people only, it involves everybody in the world. And I would recommend this to everybody. Because it’s really something that at one point the entire world has to let go. Everybody is the same no matter what type of color, culture, habitat, we’re the same thing and we’re all in one world.
· Powell has all my respect. He looks like an amazing person, some one that doesn’t let no one get on he’s way and always hits forward no matter what! I hope and wish to be like him. Really strong and always looking straight, never putting the head down. Really impressive.
Questions for Thinking Critically.
· Yes I remember. One time I had a problem with racism. I’m Spanish and white Americans tend to have problems with that and I’m sorry if I hurt some ones feeling but they really have a problem with everything that it doesn’t look like them. Anyway. They were really rude because my English wasn’t as fluid as it is now, and I accept that still needs some work, but hey I only have a year and a half in here and I think I’m doing pretty well. But they don’t care! they judge no matter what. In the beginning was really tuff, but after I got used to it I just don’t care anymore, ad like we say in Colombia if u judge or criticize some one else is because you don’t feel good with yourself even if u don’t feel that way.
· I think he did the same think I did. Just ignore and keep looking straight no matter what other people say. And like he said in one part of the text: “I was not going to let myself become inferior, and I was not going to let anybody make me believe I was. I was not going to allow someone else’s feelings about me become my feelings about myself!” That’s my favorite part and that’s what I’m going to follow. Because that phrase it really gets to my heart.
· I do agree with him with the ethnical diversity.
1. We may be for different countries but we still humans.
2. We’re all human beings like it or not.
3. We are diverse but that doesn’t mean that we cant life together
4. God made us the same, probably with different color and different eths but we still one.
