In addition, the hardest part is grammar and also run outs sentences. The positive side of my writing is organizing. there is more negative features in my writing , that i have to fix for the final draft.

R.A draft

” I have a dream” by Martin luther king jr speech deliver us about the injustices of segregation and discrimination of African American people that took place in united states. Dr. kings “i have a dream” speech interests me because the speech was for the people that needed to fight for equal rights, which made gathered them together and strong. A rhetorical analysis he uses in the speech is promises. African American were tired of promises which led them to believe that time was gonna give them freedom. Dr. king’s did not believe in promises because it was all about actions. Non violent actions. The promise of the constitution that gives equal rights to everyone, was only given to white folks.

both alexie’s and Mac Millan essays

The first time she watched the movie “the wizard of oz” was in white and black color. The movie changed her life, it made her thought about escaping from the chaotic and isolated place to find happiness. She never saw people around her happy , the only time was when they were drunk. Her mother was domineering , she could not never question her. further more many times she felt helpless and powerless because she had no control over her situation. the movie made her want to leave the unhappy place and go to the other side of the world. It influenced her to move on that there are better things out there, She knew  how unfairly things can be but somehow always turn out good. In her life negativity had turn into optimistic.

Both Alexie and McMlillan both talk about dealing with struggles growing up. They both use nonfiction dramas, such as the superman comic book and “the wizard of oz”. It helps them to   break down doors from poverty, and racism. The superman comic book helps the young indian to be a hero and save all of their lives to become better by reading and writing and also teaching. McMillan shows us how unhappy she grew up, through out all the movie changed her view of living. To move on and find a place where she can feel happy. In addition, they are different because super and me is about education and learning to overcome obstacles with education. In the other hand McMillan talks about poverty, and how she free her self not depending on nobody, all the courage was obtained from the movie.
