MLK's Qoute And Mirror Poem

Qoute


" When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men, jews and gentiles, protestants and catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro Siritual,"Free at last! free at last! thank God almighty, we are free at last!"




Why this qoute was important to me was because I think that what he said there was true That one day they would all be free. He was right because back in the day it was real hard for them because there was a lot of hate and a lot of racism and plus there was segregation and that was wrong. They struggled a lot to be free at last but they accomplished it so that's why it's important to me.


Why I think this qoute is important to the public is because Martin Luther King J.R. was telling them that one day everyone was going to be free. They just had to be calm about it and that day will soon come and now we are ALL free. We all have the same rights no matter what's your skin color! We all have a say in mostly everything. Why I say that is because unless your not a citizen you wont be able to vote but other than that your all good.




POEM


What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore-- And then run?


Does it stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?




What happens to a dream not accomplished...


Does it die
like a flower or

does it hide like
kids playing hide and seek

Does it decompose like garbage or
does it stink like wrotten fruit


Maybe it just fades away like
an old shirt or

Does it just dissapear?

The All American Dream


My mom's American dream is for her to work hard so we could go on in life. She says that's what she came here for so that we could have a better life than she did when she was little. My mom came from Mexico and she said it was real hard back in Mexico to get a good education I think she only got up to 6th grade. She does know how to read though she's also pretty good at math she's even better than me at it. So she says that that is her dream for us her children to be something in life.


My dad's American dream is to be real wealthy so that he doesn't have to work. It's pretty funny to me. It could happen but I Dont Know it's going to be pretty hard to get awful wealthy so he doesn't have to work again not even rich people do that! He also says that one of jis other dreams is to sleep. My dad's dreams are funny but they could always come true if he works hard to accomplish them.


My uncle's American dream since he was at my house is to have a better job than what he does now. He says that he wants to do better in his life I don't really know what he does now but his Amercan dream is to work at in office with the A/C blating in his face.

Whats Up With This?

I hate it when people say that Immigrants should leave this country because they are here illegally. If people want them to be here legally then why don’t they give them their documents? I say that they aren’t doing us any bad by being here but some people do. They are just here to work!!!!!!!!!

I think that immigrants should be allowed to stay here in the United States. One reason immigrants should stay is because they aren’t doing anything bad .They are just here working trying to make it through the struggle trying to feed their family. The immigrants that should not really be allowed to stay here are the ones that are just here being lazy bums. But the ones trying to make it through should stay and at least get their residency. A lot of senators or something like that are already trying to pass laws for that kind of thing.

This whole country is made out of immigrants. The only ones that were not immigrants were the Native Americans. This country was built on immigrants and that’s what it’s here for and this is what’s its been here for. I even bet you that the president’s family came from immigration my family too came like that, we are not Americans we are Mexican Americans. Anyways it wouldn’t be right to send over 12 million people back to their countries.
