Purple Hibiscus Response

Papa is a very important character in the book. He is very aggressive and is very controlling. He is also a very confusing character. When mama was pregnant he hurt her for not feeling good and wanting to stay in the car. He then told the family to hope that she is forgiven for her sins. But she hasn't even sinned for anything. 

Papa always tell his family what not to do, but he does the exact opposite. I know that he works hard so his family can have anything, but he is not a very good father. Kimbili can't really have any friends because they are a 'distraction'. Everyone is really quiet and they are nervous around each other.

    I agree that Papa is so focused on telling his family what not to do, that he does what he is telling his family not to. Also, he is the cause for Kambili being called a "backyard snob".

Thanksgiving is definitely not my favorite holiday. I know that sounds bad, but let me explain. All of my mom's family comes to Baton Rouge and they all stay at my house. All of my cousins are near my age and they are nice, but they must have an obsession with messing up my room, because every time I walk in there, everything is moved around and then I have to go rearrange it. So many people in one house is very stressful enough. I really love the food because my mom lets me help her cook the small foods. It's the most fun part because my mom's mom and her sister and my cousins all like to help in the kitchen. What is annoying is that one of my aunts is obsessed with taking pictures so she makes us all stop what we are doing and smile like we love taking pictures... If I could change anything about Thanksgiving, I would do it with just my family and my friends' families and we would all stay at the beach.

F.B.I. Raids Office of Trump’s Longtime Lawyer Michael Cohen

F.B.I. Raids Office of Trump’s Longtime Lawyer Michael Cohen; Trump Calls It ‘Disgraceful’   by Matt Apuzzo. This article written  about Michael Cohen, who works for Donald Trump. He was raided Monday Morning. The F.B.I. had a warrant going to his house and office taking emails, documents, records and many other documents concerning Donald Trump. The author's opinion doesn't seem very opinionated , just factual. I would guess that the author is not in favor of Donald Trump since the writer works for the New York Times, but it's very hard to tell.  The raid definitely  means that there will be something to find connecting the affair of Trump and Stormy Daniels. What confuses me is why Trump calls it 'breaking in' if they had the right to raid because of a warrant. I think that Trump is trying to make it sound like the FBI are the ones who are in trouble. I chose this article because I heard about what happened this morning and I love the New York Times and how i...

Tarpon Gallore

           The Virgin Islands was such a cool place and absolutely breathtaking. I never thought it could be so cool at night as well. When we would turn on the underwater lights on the boat 75 pound Tarpon would swarm the boat like bees to the honey. The Tarpon seemed so interested in the light and they would never leave the back of our boat.             We immediately got our swimsuits on and our snorkel gear on, and we jumped on them! It felt like you were in a shark tank. I got so close to them and they didn’t even swim away. It was really striking when I dove down to the bottom and looked up to see all the fish. That was one of the coolest experiences I have yet!
