Cuban revolution

The main character’s name is Elizabeth, She is a girl with brown straight hair. Although she looks shy, deep down,  Maybe only she knows that she is a fanatical and fearless girl in her inside. Elizabeth’s family was very poor but she still craves education and started to be educated when she was 18.

During the first decade after the Cuban Revolution, various reforms in Cuban society tackled racial integration, women’s equality, communications, healthcare, housing, and education. By the end of the 1962s, all Cuban children received at least some education, compared with fewer than half in 1959. Something that stayed the same is that, Cuban still produce a lot of sugar, and it’s still a great place for sugar to be produce.

Am I a humanism?

On the first point, individualism I gave myself a point of 2 because I think being an individual is not important than group work is better. on the second point secularism, I only gave 1 point, because I don’t really believe in this. One point of the importance of education for all, I have rated a score of 5, because I also think that education is really important. It also gives us a better understanding of the world. I have rated the last two points 4/5 since I think that they are all really important. Overall, 16/25 is my final score, which is over half so I think that I am a humanist.

Run or Not Run

In the article “Thank you, M’am” the type of conflict is internal conflict. The conflict in the article is about the boy trying to entangle whether he is going to run away or not, and so in the last, the boy didn’t run away, because he wanted the woman’s trust.

I have chosen page 3 to write my poem, my poem is “The boy could turn around, he could run, run, run. After a long pause, he didn’t run. the boy was going to run, but he wanted the trust.” I have also drawn some icons to represent the conflict. the icons are a running icon to represent that the boy could have run, a cross icon to represent that the boy didn’t run, and a heart to represent that the boy wanted the woman’s trust.
