Edward P. Jones, First day schools
Not again to read first day of school. I don’t have to comment about my experience to be at first day Gallaudet. If you don’t know then read second of the blog “First day of the school” I think. I already miss NSO week because it is anxious to see big different from high school. Right now, I was feeling hurry that I want a break from an homework because I got lot of assignment from First Year Seminar. I have to because I go college to get degree with experience. I wont said just get degree because I read Focus. Did you? Anyway, I read the story. I think it story was so classic and very 50’s. I pictured the story’s color is brownish or gray scale. Mother and son are very relaxed but they did hurry to go school in the morning. I said relax because they did eat breakfast. Today, kids do skip the breakfast because bus arrives early. I don’t go on bus, good god! My parents always drive me to school until I am senior. I have to go on bus because time is change the schedule. Mother and son have to walk to the school and not talking about television or computer. It made me think one of movie but I forget the movie. I hope you can tell me a title of the movie. One boy have biggest goal to play the football player. But He grew up in Mexican family, he live in poorer town. He looked bright to me because he took this serious. He decided to go division 1 high school instead his old poor high school. But this high school is 5 miles away from his home. He had to wake up in 3am to get school at 730am in walking. He didn’t give up that he wanted to go better school instead lousy school. He joined football team. He had a very tight schedule; walking, school, football practice, walking, do homework at midnight then sleeping. It is his daily. It is opposite the book. The movie is much better than this story. The movie was touching my heart. The both of story and movie have little part of racism. In story, teacher told mother go to other school, but his son could go school by walking like 30 minute. Teacher not accepted her son but I think about racism. I am just guess because it isn’t mentioned the how long he arrive the school and why teacher not want the new student who live far from the average.

2 Hug me:
Authors often use the narrator in the story to tell the perspective of the opposite gender. I read the story (based on the mother doing hair and the dress the child wears) as being about a little girl.
You make a great point.. the story is very much about racism.
Sorry, I don't recall the movie...
wow at the last part of the blog! thats very sad but good blog! :)
