We got into groups and worked on themes, claims, examples, and work as a whole. It was kind of hard for me because i still don’t quite get work as whole just yet.
Chapter 8 of The kite runner was mainly about how Amir wished to be punished because of the secret he kept and his thirteenth birthday. To me Amir is really getting what he deserves right now i like the Hassan is not giving in to what Amir wants him to do to him. I’m glad that he’s losing sleep over it and feeling GUILTY. Assef is evil in my eyes how can you make your own parents be frightened to even speak while they are around you like what could possibly be going on in that household. How can some one so evil act so innocent when around people who they know think good about them.
Today we talked about what word offended us in certain ways. Words that offend me is Bi*** and ni**** or negro. Those words offend me is because I feel as if you are degrading and stopping me from doing this that i do not like that is what pejorative means. Pejorative means a word or grammatical form expressing a negative connotation or a low opinion of someone or something, showing a lack of respect for someone or something. People use certain word should not be in anyone’s everyday vocabulary to degrade you of who you are such as racial slurs when people say certain terms and takes one back to where things were segregated no one like nobody. Words that are said to one another can stick to us for however long we shall live so we should always watch what we say to other people especially concerning their feelings.
