Jimmy Santiago Baca

In Jimmy poem it shows how when they get to the new country they still have the same struggle as the old one. then im comparing the poem with the movie 7 soles when immigrants from mexico want to come to the US but have the struggle to come to the country. so the poem shows how they have struggle because the country is the same as their old one and in 7 soles they have a struggle and a consequences to come to the country like them dying just to have a better future. 

SOMETHING INTERESTING

its interesting how when trump won the election Russia wants a fresh start with the U.S. But why all of a sudden Russia wants to be friends?

Future

Our future is up to us, it isn't up to anyone. every choice we make has a affect to our future. like for me I decided to not do my math work and thinking it wont affect me but now I have problem understanding how to do the work and I'm now failing the class. Also if you are yourself to everyone then people wont see you as a bad person because you would show how you really are which is a good person. in "A Sound of Thunder" when Eckel went out of the trail which lead him to stepping the butterfly that cause a change in the future by electing the wrong candidate as president. so by us doing the right things and think before what we do because anything could affect our future even the small choices we do can have a impact. so for us not wanting to focus and see who we really did we would make us think twice before we do it. Also that we should make choices that wont affect like how people decided to elect Donald as president that can affect the future of the united states. but we are gonna have to wait for that outcome. so we have to be careful for what we do.

MY MAD DREAM OF AN ESSAY

Remember that time you ate that spicy tamale just before you went to bed on the night before the big party ?  Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election.  When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the important details, but after reading "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder" it's all coming back to you now.

The dream started badly.  You were in line with your family at a bakery  waiting to be sent to jail.  Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect wienerschnitzel, looking like a crazy dogs who could eat a whole cow.  

Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "the only way to have a friend is to be one."  You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to help people.  But it wasn't easy.  First you had to put on a fancy clothes and shoes and then you had make a place to go back in time to the jail  so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the deportation.

But right there in the jail there was a giant German Shepard  and it started barking at everyone.  People started to yell.  You grabbed a bomb from a nearby table and yelled everyone listen up.  Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.
