Dear Mr. Romero

I think my grade should at least be a b because I think I try so hard to get where i"m at for this 2nd marking. The reason why I say this is because I think that I do try to in your class at times I do get off task but I get things done. I also hope that I get the grade that I ask for. I will like you to know that it has been fun in your class and I have learned a whole lot of in English.For example I have learn how to skip lines for when I have to write a essay. I also love to watch movies and plays in your class I also learn a whole lot of things about the languages in shake spare also by the my favorite is now Mr. Romero I want you to know that you’re a great English teacher and no one could take that away from you and it was very nice to spend these couples months. But I truly think that I really deserve this b so that all I have to say MR. Romero thanks.

Benjamin banneker

Benjamin Banneker was born 1731and there were few free blacks in Baltimore country Maryland .He quickly showed an interest in mathematics and in mechanical things. The main work that he did was that he predict a whole lot of things a solar eclipse. He decided to work on an almmac.banneker had to establish the position of the sun moon and planets each year. Then he could make allocutions so he has been looking into mathematics at the age of 22.My reaction to this is that Benjamin bannered things such as the solar eclipse. Also he kept his main focus on his mathematics and also was a black young man who work hard to get where he was and also was a very smart and Intelligent person why because he kept his man on the his work. And he also didn’t let anything stop him from doing that. As reported in the Georgetown Weekly Ledger March 12, 1791, when Banneker was 60, he was appointed, by President George Washington, to a three man team of surveyors headed by Major Andrew Ellicott, Joseph's cousin, to survey the future District of Columbia. Banneker, the paper said, was "an Ethiopian whose abilities as surveyor and astronomer already prove that Mr. [Thomas] Jefferson's concluding that that race of men were void of mental endowment was without foundation. Banneker became fascinated with the patent watch of a friend, Josef Levi. Levi gave Benjamin the watch and he took it apart to 'study its workings." Banneker then carved similar watch pieces out of wood to make, in1752, a wooden clock. Due to its precision (it struck every hour, on the hour, and continued to do so nearly forty years.

should huck finn be taught in school

Huck Finn should not be taught in school why because for culture reason and race reason. This hook has racial over tones in it a whole has racial over tones in it a whole lot. The language is also file language such as cursing also wrong spelling errors. This book has a whole lot of violence in it such as tie black’s to trees and on abuse others and also animals abuse. I truly don’t think that this book is using file language such as racial comments. The book to me is very disrespect to African American. From my point of view if I was to write this book I would feel very sad to even put the things that was in the book. Truly the way how they talk about black’s in the book it’s bad and hurt’s me and makes me very mad.so from my point of view again I really don’t think that this book is school material to teach in the class.the other reason why it shouldn't be taught because this book has some bad charaters such racial people that t's treating black's
