What was highway sixteen about? High Sixeen was an odd somewhat boring story to me. In this short story the author told about his young childhood neighborhood. Due to the story was so long I so totally unable to complete reading the story.
But from the parts that i read it seems as if the boy is living in a figurtive of his on imgination. Maybe it was just a little bit of exggeration but for the most part truth. Or maybe than again I could be wrong.

Self Respect
Self respect is vital to having a healthy life. I believe that many people have no respect for themselves today. Which is so important to grow and mole yourself into a successful emotionally stable being. Alot of problems in today's society start simply from people not having self respect, because if they did they wouldn't do the things that they do or consider themselves a lot of things that they do without having any knowledge of what they are calling each other without knowing the history or meaning of words.
In order to have a healthy mind, body, and soul you need to take the time out to give your body the respect that it needs and deserve. The body is a temple which needs time out to be exercised. Not just physically but intellectually which helps to put a person on the right path for self respect. I think if more indulge in respecting themselves then the world would be a happier place and would start respecting others.

Pangea Day
What is Pangea Day, is it necessary? Pangea Day is an new event where as the whole world comes together through film. Prehaps this is neccesary maybe its not? To me this whole world is divided not just communities or contients. I feel as if someone wants to put towards an effort to try an bring together unity I support that.
If people enjoy all of the programs it might countie and be effective in the world. It should have a powerful effect on the world and people in a sense bringing them together in unity. If this conutines it should send out a powerful message.

Being In The Box
What is discrimination to start with? Discrimination is being prejudice towards someone or something maybe because of their race, sex, sexuality, or so much more. The lesson being in the box was to me highly the reason why people in toady's society and past have dealt with racism. This being because of the lack of courage for one to stand up for the right thing and getting pressured by others not wanting to be portrayed as an outcast.
In my life I have had to take witness to such things and to me I am applauded by how ignorant someone can be for no reason. Like in the movie Crash it showed how it is still happening and people still have to deal with it. And even as people say the U.S has come a long way over the last thirty to forty years it stills exist but has just in some cases evolved into something different and hidden until people let this hatred erupt. Which saddens me to know that before I die I will have to deal with more of it and take witness to this.

Someone to Talk to
There are many people I would like to talk to. For example my grandmother Betty and Common. However if I could talk to God. In this essay I am going to disscuse the people that I would like to talk to.
First I would like to talk to my grandmother Betty Booth. Over my childhood I didn't have that much time to spend with her until around the time she died. She was a very intelligent woman who went through alot of obstacles but over came them all. I just wish that I had the oppunotunity to speak with her again because I felt I could have learn't so much from her and gained alot from her knowledge to help me in life.
Next would be Common. To me Common is more then an artist he is a leader. He gives off this vibe in which makes you feel free through his music. Well at the same time he expresses his knowledge in such an intelligent way by injemating it to the listener. The way he can express hisself in such a soulful way inspires me. Then him being a young black male doing what he does in such a manner in which he does inspires me to want to talk to him.
Last but not least would be God. God to me comes before anything in this world. He knows all and know what is to come so I would love to talk to God. I mean when having such love for him makes you want to be closer to him to learn and to feed off of his energy. With me knowing that he is always there and that when I pray he heres my prays I do talk with him.
These are the people that I would like to talk to. They all are different from each other but would me alot for me to speak to. From my grandmother Betty from Common to God for me I will get my chance to speak with them some a first and for others again.
