My Experience !

My experience in Mrs.Day's AP language & composition class was motivational. I say motivational because she prepared and showed us a little of how college life will be and trained us to always do our best. She's the best English teacher I ever had. All the essays, reading novels, and class discussing will pay off in the long run, and I will have her to thank for that. Her teaching strategies was always different; sometimes the ways would be boring and other times the ways would be enjoyable to learn. Everything we did in her class was for a purpose and never just to keep us busy like other teachers would give out. With her writing skills she made me come out of my shell of writing because before her class I use to hate writing, but she helping me to branch out and try all the different writing skills I didn't know before. I wouldn't want to change a thing about Mrs.Day's teaching strategies because they were unique and helpful. I just want to thank her for everything and wish her lucky onto her new job in Nashville, Tennessee because I am going to miss her so much. I enjoyed being apart of her AP Language & Composition 2013-2014 class, but I really do wish she was staying to be my AP literature teacher.

Invisible Man

3. Ellison's account of the "Brotherhood" is athinly disguised depiction of the American Communist Party during the Stalin era. Ellison was himself involved with the Party, as were many other black intellectuals during the Thirties. Research Stalinist ideology and Communist activity during the Thristies. Why did black Americans identify themseleves with the Communist Cause? Why did Party officals see the black community as a natural ally? Were their aims essentially allied or opposed? Blacks indentified themselves with the Communist Cause because they clearly understood that the struggle for African American equality and working class solidarity in general are connected; we cannot have one without the other.The Communist Party has deeply influenced the thinking of hundreds of thousands of white Americans, especially in the ranks of organized labor. It has won increasing numbers of allies for the Negro people.
