Sex Trafficking

After watching the video I can honestly say that this is very disgusting. I was in awe after the reporter said that these girls are forced to have sex with 30-40 men in a single day. In my opinion this is no way to live, I can honestly say that I do not know how a young girl can let herself get into this situation. On the other hand, it is true what they said...these girls are brainwashed and forced to act like this if not they will face severe consequences. After watching footage of the hidden videotapes you can only imagine what it is like to be in the life of these girls. The streets they work on are disgusting the life is humiliating. As a society we have to do something about this, we must stop this disgusting trend. Human right are being violated and we are barely doing anything about the issue. Therefore, I believe that the solution to this problem is by 1st coming together and getting all these girls out of this "job." Then we must go after all these Human right violators. We cannot continue to allow this to happen in the current world we live in. It is disgusting, himiliating, and not right. No one deserves a job or a life like this, we must fight to get these girls lives back even if it is hard to achieve we cannot give up. We must take control of those streets again and not let this occur any longer.

Blog # 6

1st)Yisel-In my opinion Yisel is the number 1 candidate because she does a very good job at appealing to the reader. She immediately catches your attention with her slideshow. You can see various pictures of how she is and it gives you an idea of her personality. She goes on to describe herself even more and tells you what are the things that are of most importance to her and why. In my opinion she does a great job of "selling" herself.

2nd)Sonya-I liked Sonya's page because of the fact that it had several pictures describing herself. For example she has pictures of dancing...she helps out this claim by saying she likes ot dance when she is happy and therefore helps her reader know how she is and what she likes to do. I voted her 2nd place because in my opinion there could have been more pics to make her about me section more attractive. But overall it was a good page.

3rd)Amna-I liked this page because it catches your attention with the first picture you see. It is very different than what others put and just by this picture you can see that this person in a sense has a outgoing personality. You can see that the person likes to takes risk and that life must be taken advantage of. You can tell that this person does not want to miss out on any moment doubting whether to do something or not. I like this idea and therefore this is why I chose this page. I picked this page as 3rd place because there could have been a little more information and pics.

Analyzing Carla's Poem

After having read the poem my immediate reaction was the same one you posted. I got the feeling that the poem meant that although some things you lose are really small in the end it makes a dramatic change in your life and others as well. I like the fact that you went ahead and described how the poems meaning changes from beginning to end. Analyzing the fact that at first the poem only mentions very small items but then it moves on to bigger things. Furthermore, I also like that you connected the idea of the poem to your personal idea of why she would write such a poem. By saying that writing serves as a coping mechanism it helps to understand the emotions and the feelings the writer of the poem is going through. Something I think could have strengthened your analysis was if you explained a little more why the audience is older people. Overall, I think you examined this poem extremely well. You do a good job at explaining why the writer feels this way and how in the end she changes. Also you analyzed her claims well and the overall meaning of the poem. I think you did a good job but like I said there are certain things you could have elaborated a little more on...therefore I think you deserve an A-.
