 Today we talked about what makes you American. I think what makes people American is being born in the U.S and working. Then we read another poem by Langston Hughes called “I Too” and it was an response to the poem “A Song of Myself” by Walt Whitman. The poem was about discrimination and how it would be like in present time. Like in the poem he talks about when company comes over he’ll have to eat in the kitchen instead of the dining room.

Introduction

 My name is Ty’Ana Pough, I’m from Columbus, Ga and I attend Cedar Grove High School .I enjoy doing a lot of things but one of the things is cheer. I’ve been cheering since I was four years old and it’s always been my favorite thing to do. I also like doing hair, I’ve been doing it for about a year now and I can wait to get better at doing it. My goal for this academic year is to maintain good grades all school year and graduate with a decent GPA. After that, I want to attend college (I don’t know what college I want to attend or what I want to major in but I hope I will figure that out soon).

Plus my comprehension skills are not the best so I doubt if I was to read the whole passage I would of understand it.
