Vietnam memorial

thank you for your service at vietnam, it must have been very hard and emotional. escpecially seeing all your friends die in front of you and the people that made fun of you because you went there. you must have been really brave.

Poems

many native vietnames were murdered by us and north vienam troops.
many farms and homes destroyed.
buddahs burned themselves to death.
Many people pronbably displaced by the war.

I Feel Like I’m Fixing To Die Rag

Were gonna have a whole lotta fun.
Whopppeee were all gonna die.
Be the first one on your block to have your boy come home in a box.
Open up the pearly gates.

Jack Smith

• not many people were war experienced.
• not well trained.
• Ambushes.
• Friendly fire.

At the begining smith thought it was a little game and at the end he realized it wasn't and that it was scary.

Has MLK's dream been realized?

Yes i think they did realizeze his dream in the labor force. More and more blacks are beening employed each year.In 1980 93.6 thousand whites were employed and 10.9 blacks. In 2004 121.1 whites were employed and 19.8 thousand blacks. Each year more african americans are being employed.

MLK

Why does the author feel that whites owe King the greatest debt?
He showed them that race didn't make a difference.

Was King "the right man at the right time"?
i think he was because there was already lots of desegregation movement but they just couldn't do it and need that one person and MLK was that person that finished evry thing off and made this nation a better place.

Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not?
I think if some people use them in a negative he would not approve of it but if it was posotive he would.

Would you have been able to use civil disobedience and non-violence

1. I would not have been able to keep non-violent and civil disobedience because i don't think i could tolerate other people hurting me and just standing there.
