I can't believe how fast this class went by. I have to say I learned a lot of things I wouldn't have learned in other classes. Most of all, as far as the subject of readin goes, I now know how to look into books and issues more deeply instead of just focusing on what is told to us directly. This class is going to help me a lot in the future because my major is psychology and it is important to look into things more deeply in that subject matter.

This class was so much fun and really laid back which is what i liked about it the most. I also liked the fact that we would always have interesting discussions and talked to every single person in the classroom without anybody feeling left out. I loved the first two books but I wasnt as interested in Random Family; it was too long and full of too much information with way too many characters.

Ms. D is the type of professor who can't be forgotten. I will surely miss this class and am going to take everything I learned in this class with me.

chapters 1-5

So far, I dont think I was pulled into the book like i was with the other two books we've read. Maybe because its really long, or its just full of so much information. Not that I dont understand what's happening, I do understand most of what is happening. I know that the story is based on real life and what used to happen in the past in the bronx, but it is rediculous how the family memebers of the pregnant teen act like it is normal for them to have a baby. If I were part of the faimily, I would try to teach them a lesson. Everything in this book is pretty much negative, and I would say that most of the people's lives are not that great, and they are responsible for all of what is happening to them; well at least most of them

I don't blame the government for making the birth control policy because they actually have a reason. It should be understandable that they don't have enough resources to support all those people. Since China is already over-populated, and if people are allowed to have more than one child, it would make matters even worth. It's not like, all of their rights are being taken away. So i agree with the government.

Alcohol and partying should not be a way for actors to cope with stress in their lives. There are other ways to solve problems. Drinking will most likely make matters worse for them. Britney Spears might have started drugs because of her divorce, but it is partly her fault as well because of the fact that she brought it upon herself. Nobody forced her to go and marry, and have two kids; yet she still goes and does it. I think she shaved her haid just to get attention.
