2 Single Story2011

Danger of a Single Story
Chimanada Adiche had grew up with a book that only had white people with blue eyes and they talked about weather. A single story means to be races or bias which means people are trying to be mean or make conclusions about other people when they aren't really that. One story that i had before was that only certain people can do things and only rich people can get nice things but the ting missing from it was that all people can get anything. A story that i heard about another community is that east Austin is bad and we can succeed but we can because we are all smart. A game can explain how a community is like and what you do there and see there it also explains what type of environment is it like there.

1 Cyberbully

Cyberbully

This is my first blog of 8th grade.In the begining of the video she doesnt lke to use it because it was dumb to her. Her family situation is that her father is away and she told him se dont want him and she really likes this guy but then he dont like her back. The result of cyberbullying for Taylor is that she gets a laptop and then she makes a clicksters then she starts talking to Scott the boy she likes . Then this guy James but it was a fake and the person that had been cyberbullying her and it was her own bestfriend. Then the guy James says that Taylor and him had did something bad then she told him no then a girl from school named Linsey she started to call her names. Then Taylor started to say bad things. She experiences impersonating bullying and threating and gossip but she mainly was being impersonated. She starts to feel like she doesnt belong in the world. So she trys to kill her self but her friends sees the video on clicksters and she hurrys to the home and stops her her. She trys to stop them but they didnt she could have done what her mother told her to do and shut down her profile and never get on again. I think she felt sad and bad that her friends were betraying her. The changes i see her doing is trying to shut down the clicksters website and taking classes for the clicksters bullying and she finally faces up to linsey then the whole school does and linsey is hushed and Taylor gets to be with scot.
