The Communist Manifesto states two classes the proletariats and the bourgeoise. They both relate to the movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (the first one). The bourgeoise is having an upper class suppress a lower one; like, Charlie being poor and unable to have what most kids have. Also, the proletariats/ Oompa Loompas work for a higher power. In the movie, the highest power would be Willy Wonka. The Manifesto says that the bourgeoise(the middle class) try to step up. For example, in the movie the kids don't listen to Willy Wonka's suggestions of not to touch anything or stray away, but they do it anyway. As an example in the movie the perfect world was the factory. When something goes wrong and doesn't cooperate it must be taken care of. Who would of thought a classic movie like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" can be the perfect example of Communism!?

Whoa..
At first, I was like that's a great idea to have people trained just in case we needed them for taking over something that can benefit us... yeah that sounds bad ,but we would not be the U.S. without that in mind. When I read "Get The Facts" I was like WHOA.. I didn't know people of one race was hurting people of the same race.. that's one crazy thing. This short paragraph totally changed my opinion. Usually my opinion doesn't change just like that; however, in this case it wasn't so strong. I think the SOA needs to change its ways for the better. They're using their power for evil! Also, this is happening in a lot of places, and that's the sad part. I only read the one paragraph because the titles for the other ones were kind of scary to know about...
Panama Canal entry..
American Period, 1904-1914
It's almost a month now and since the beginning I have been working on the canal. My will and strength are getting weaker by the day. Not only is the nasty terrible heat really hard to work with, but there are bugs that are every where and I can't seem to see a day when there are none in my sight. For a healthy person this should be easier, and I wish I am a healthy person. I am sick and I have no choice except to keep on working in my condition. The Americans insist on finishing the canal. With their dynamite through the rigid terrain is extremely dangerous, but I guess they know that. We're not supposed to look back on the trail unless it's really important. Most of the other islanders are in the same condition as I am. It is very sad to lose them from the explosions of dynamite. My closest friends are victims as well as I. I just have to keep my head up I guess until something good or bad happens... at this point I don't have my hopes up for anything...

Ellis Island!
It was a journey for the immigrants that came to Ellis Island. They were probably feeling scared, excited, and confused. Some families were really big and might of had to split up. Coming to a new country and not knowing anything about it would be intimidating. That is why some people would befriend others from the same country they were from. Jobs were probably difficult to find and maintain. If things wouldn't work out for some people they would go back home, however, the whole point of coming to Ellis Island was to have a better life.
"Song of the Shirt"
Textile factory workers had hard labor. I think in the "Song of the Shirt" they compared their work to death, and I don't blame them. According to the song, they worked until they were too tired to keep their eyes opened. The workers were "in poverty, hunger, and dirt.." Women as factory workers would be whipped if they fell asleep on the job. They worked more than they slept, and would be exhausted all day. The song also describes the womens conditions which tell how unhealthy they were. It wasn't an easy life for people back then.
Games
In class, teachers teach students a lesson that might be very important and very boring. The chance that the students will actually absorb and understand what the teacher is saying is not very promising. Also, it gets worse when the teacher assigns homework for that lesson. When a teacher mentions homework to a student a little part of them dies inside. Homework for a lot of us is a waste of time, and especially when we have no idea how to complete it. When my teacher told us our homework is to go home and play a game, I was actually excited about the homework. I played the game called Oregon Trail . In just a short amount of time I learned that the game was difficult, and how hard pioneers worked in their everyday lives. Luckily, my teacher makes learning about U.S History interesting, however, for my other classes I wouldn't mind playing a game once in while to actually understand the concept.
