1. I think the relationship between humans and gods found in the praise songs is that the gods create the world in which the humans live. But I also think that the gods are trying to inform humans about death and that it will come some day and that there is life after death.
2. I think the tone of the praise songs are that of some kind of worship. The songs also seem to have a slow pace and show that the creation of the world is celebrated.
3. I like Oshun, the praise song that talks of the river goddess. I like that this praise song because it talks of her wisdom in which is shared. It also says that she is a cure and good for all. It talks of the beautiful water which is helpful to every person and all of nature.

Teen Parents
Teen parents have alot of responsibility. Taking care of a baby leaves no time for anything else. All your time must be for your child you can no longer do everything for yourself. They may not have much time for school and may have to join parenting program. You will have no experience as a parent because you are still a child yourself. Having a child costs a lot of money. Both parents would have to work to support the baby just for its basic needs. Young teen parents would no longer have time for being with friends or doing things that they used to have time for. They will be tired and have to continue caring for this child until they are young adults. Though this may be a difficult task it is possible and young teen parents will just have to hope for the best.

The centarl conflict in the story is that a man named Makhaya escaped from where he was and he becomes a fugative. On his journey he comes across an old hag and her young grandaughter. He stayed in the huts in which they live. Some of the main characters are Makhaya, Cheif Seketo, Cheif Matenge and Gilbert Balfour. Some attributes from Gilbert are that he is very smart because of his methodshe uses when helping people, and he is caring and allowed Makhya work with him. THe plot summary is when Makhaya who is the fugitive escapes and regesters as a resident in the town in which he is now staying. The cheifs of the town are very suspicius about the man and they want to keep a close eye on him. Even though he gets a job and is working in the feild with Gilbert.
A Drop Of Milk
1. A question I have about this myth is how did this come around as a creation myth.
2. That the world was created by a large drop of milk.
3. With each event something comes along to defeat it. Like blindness defeats man by making him go to sleep and you can't see when you are sleeping and each one just overcomes the other.
4. Gueno came to defeat death because he was the only one that could defeat death.
5. You find that there is always a series of events that go on that messes up the first or it can help it.
6. If the man had not been so proud maybe people wouldn't have been selfish. Man would be more willing to help others insted of themselves.
7. In Fulani hey used would was first used to create the earth which was rain. They showed a picture of Popul Vuh they used what the story was really about which was the floods and the arks.
8. Death exsit because that would mean that nothing would go away and if we were still growing in number as a people, where would everyone go or fit.

Movies
The most reasent movie I have seen is Daddy's Little Girls. Its a really good movie and teaches a lot of important life lessons. It shows how it is possible to come from the bottom and make it to the top. It proves that you can achieve your dreams and goals by hard work. Overcoming obstactles and challenges are faced throughout the entire movie.

Pillow Book
Feb. 16
Today was my first day driving to school. It was crazy when we got in the student parking lot everyone was just going wild. They were driving fast and having races. Some of the students were up on curbs and waving their rebel flags. I stopped to think and wonder if my car would be ok when I went to get in it after school. Today we also had a sub in english II I dont really like the lady I have had her many times before her voice is kind of annoying.
Feb. 19
Nothing much has happened so far, I had to take a test in science and a quiz is waiting for me in math. Now I must continue with the rest of my work. I cant wait until I get out of school today so I can go home and go to sleep. But then again once I go home I have to start getting ready for work so I can make it there by 5:00 that sucks.
March. 2
I have now had my license for exactly two months. Its been fun so far I have yet to be in any wrecks. I have been working a lot and Im trying to stay on top of all my school work its difficukt to balance the two sometimes but i think I will be able to manage.
Students in my Class
I really like all the students in all of my classes. Each student adds their own personality into it and I learn a lot when we are all interacting with each other. I think when everyone is different its more fun you pick up different behaviors and action it makes and keeps class intersting. Kids in my class are great even though some of them get on my nerves but its ok.
Teachers
Teachers at Booker High are ok but some of them are great. The teachers I have had are really good educators and you can tell they actully enjoy teaching. For the most part they have all been there for their students and want us all to succeed or at least make it out of their class. I think the class and teacher I enjoy the most since I have been at Booker is Ms. Postel, English II. The reasons why I enjoy her classi s because she uses a different type of teaching. Shes not always on your back but she is always there for you and willing to help you she never turns you away and never makes you try and figure out what to do on your own. The classroom is more free and the style of teaching goes at your own pace so you really never get left behind. This class makes me feel comfortable and has made me enjoy learning in this type of enviroment.
