Life Choice: To Tell the Truth?2/10/2018 This blog post is telling how someone has to keep a very sad and dark secret and how others in the world have to keep secrets just like hers. In What you dont know by Lulu Wang, this young girl tells the story about how she had to keep the secret of her grandmothers health. I do not think it was right to deceive their grandmother because she should know that she's dying and she should get the chance to live the rest of her life. They kept the biggest secret of all from her. They gave her a fake medical paper that way she didn't know what her actual prognosis is. The whole family was in on the lie which is not right. lying is lying no matter what. Lulu didn't want to be apart of it but to say goodbye to her grandmother she had to, which is sad. Its hard to lie to someone you love especially if their dying. Its a horrible thing to do, in my opinion. When they decided to use the wedding as a goodbye party its a good idea but its also sad. Apparently in china crying at funerals is a sign of showing respect and by not crying while saying goodbye to your dying grandmother is a hard thing to do inside because you know she's dying and you cant show her the respect she deserves. Also, Lulus dad was very emotional because everyone knows except his mom. I had to make a hard decision not to tell my grandmother the truth also. when i was younger it was always hard to tell someone i love the truth. Especially to my grandmother. She is the most important person in my life. If my family and i got into a fight i would call her if i fought with anyone i would call her and she would always be able to comfort me. I had to tell my grandmother everything was going to be okay for her husband, my pop-pop, even though i knew it was not going to be okay. My pop-pop has had cancer three times. Once in the mouth where they had to cut out a piece of his tongue to use as extra skin for his mouth. A month ago he had lung cancer. He was staying in the hospital and still acted like his own self. he went through weeks of radiation and finally got over it. Recently He was just diagnosed with cancer in the brain. My grandmother has been through a lot with him and i do not know what she would do if he lost his battle some day. My pop-pop is the funniest guy around no matter how he feels he still somehow makes a joke about it. My grandmother does not know how he does it she's stressed and scared and he acts like nothings wrong. I know if something did happen my grandmother would get through it but its the fact that she wants him to be okay and to keep fighting but i do not know much longer he can fight for. My grandmother knows what the outcome with be its just when, but i have to keep telling her these lies about everything will be fine even though i know it wont be.

Life Choice: The Powers That Be?1/31/2018
This post is about a story called, My Name is Margaret (Maya Angelou). It is about a girl named Margret who is a house maid to a white women named Miss. Glory. She has Mrs. Cullinan teach Margret the the right ways to stay into the house and work for her but Margret has other ideas. I do not think Margaret was right for breaking the casserole dish and the two green cups. I understand why she did it but i do not think she should have done it. She could have just let it go because back then colored people were punished for anything they did wrong. So i can not imagine what they did to her since they did not tell us at the end of the story.... She did not understand that Mrs. Cullinan went through everything she went though as a young child. Being called different names and having to do everything. Mrs. Cullinan was holding in everything from when she was a young child and she had finally let it out. Then again i do think Miss. Glory deserved it because what young kid likes being yelled at and having to do everything. I know i dont but, Miss.Glory had it coming. Then they left the window open so all there neighbors could hear Mrs. Cullinan yelling and freaking out at Miss. Glory. That also makes Miss. Glory look dumb because she has a colored women yelling at her and she is doing nothing. This also makes her look unofficial and not a boss like she should be. When i was younger i did not obey an authority figure. My friends and I all went to the park late (this was when i was like 14 or something like that) even though we knew we had curfew. In Norwood are curfew is 9pm and in prospect curfew is 11pm so i was in prospect at my friends house we were just about to leave when i realized we had to walk home. my house is on the boarder line of prospect park so i though i could make it there with no trouble... but i was wrong. It was me and like 2 of my other friends when a cop stops turns on his lights and gets out of the car. He walked up to us and said "Do you girls know what time it is?" We all stood there and looked at each other. He said "Its 9:30pm and your past curfew." We though he was gonna just let us go and give us a warning but instead he gave us all citations and told us we better get home fast. After going through that we all kept walking. A half hour later we get to our other friends house and we were standing outside but who comes driving around..THE SAME COP. We realized it was him and we all ran as fast as we could, luckily he did not see us and we finally got home. Even when we didn't get in trouble from the cop AGAIN we got in trouble from our parents either way we were in trouble.

I actually understand it very well and it makes me feel like i actually know what i'm doing, but my favorite time is when i actually get to relax and be comfortable. I get tired so typically i need something to either wake me up or just rest. Also, i am always asking questions and becoming curious about different topics. The daily routines of great writers
