In one of the most shocking U.S. elections in modern political history, Donald Trump has defeated Hillary Clinton."I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans," Trump said in his victory speech after the Associated Press called the race for him at 2:30 am Wednesday morning. Striking a conciliatory tone, Trump continued, "For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so we can work together and unify our great country."
He also said Hillary Clinton had called him to concede the race. "Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country," he said. "I mean that very sincerely." Trump’s upset was one he had been predicting for months, gleefully comparing himself to the Brexit vote in England. Yet it was one that almost no other major predictors foresaw, all giving Clinton various degrees of comfortable leads in their election day predictions. My reaction To the presidential Election Honestly, I was confused, shocked, and afraid to trump winning the election. After all the hateful words, he has said to people. Personal I hate trump because of the way he bashes Muslims and he also try to deport innocent people. Now I really do not know what to feel because he is a useless president that goes around to look for trouble. All trump do is go to other countries for example like Syria he sent American troops to go bomb there. I think over the next four year with trump as our president, we will go to war because of the way how trump acts. Also, I believe we might get bomb which is very scary to think about.

ENG 100 Assignment #3: Film-Based Argument Due: draft #2 posted to blog by 11:59 on 3/32 Hate towards Muslims after 9/11 attack In the film, Survivor, screenwriter Philip Shelby writes about Kate Abbott’s struggles with saving America from a terrorist attack. Abbott is a security service agent who learns of a plot to where a sniper will shoot a gas bomb in time square to kill innocent civilians. Also, Abbott’s was forced to go on the run when she was framed for crimes she did not commit. The reason Talbot was being blackmail, because his son an Army soldier was taken over by terrorist and terrorist were blackmailing Talbot to let terrorist into United States for his sons live. Thesis statement: The attack on 9/11 should not justify American citizens being more suspicious towards all Muslims because not all Muslims are bad or a terrorist. First America believes in freedom of religion Support I feel like it is very hypocritical that Americans have the law freedom of religion but they do not follow it because they continue to bring Muslim people down. American should not not persecute the Islamic people for their religion instead we should uphold our notions of a melting – pot culture. Also in the first amendment, it says we are allow to think, express and act upon what we deeply believe. So why judge an entire nation for one person acts, I thought America is a land of peace but I thought wrong. Also, not all Muslim are bad people because they prefer peace over terrorism. Second reason Americans need to have equal treatment and fairness towards Muslims. Because the Muslim people are human too and there is a lot of white’s people that commit crimes worse than the Muslims people but they will never be categorizing has terrorist because they are not Muslims. Third reason the Islamic religion is a peaceful religion because they do not believe in nonviolence. Also, Muslims should not have to be judge of their religion, they should be judge of their personal action. For example, a white boy went to sandy hook elementary school and shoot all dose innocent children & teachers but his actions were not characterized as a terrorist act. Fourth reason the Islamic religion is a respectful religion that expected whoever want to know more about their religion. Also, Muslims are scared to because when they are traveling they must be search by a lot of securities. For example, the Muslim females wearing a hijab they would stop her for special searches at the security gate. Therefore, Americans only believes the negative stereotypes about Muslims instead of getting to know about their religion. Also, being a Muslim in America is like a heavy burden because you never know who is watching you. According to Pew research center the article Muslim Americans: No Signs of Growth in alienation or Support for Extremism says that 28% of Muslims being looked at with suspicion and 22% being called with offensive names. Overall 52% says that the government should increase surveillance and monitoring Muslims. Also, according to Pew Research Center estimate there were about 1.6 billion Muslims in the world at the year of 2010. In fact, the media make the Islamic religion look horrible due to the type of things they show. For example, when I was in New York l I was criticizing for being a Muslim and I remember I got jumped by six girls just because they find out I was Muslim. It was hard because my family was the only Muslim family in our block and people would look at us dirty or called us nasty names. We cannot blame all Muslims or the religion for the 9/11 attack because some of have no idea about it. There is a lot of Christians that had commit terrorists acts like the Ku Klux Klan but they are not considering as a terrorist when they attack abortion clinics and other innocent people. According to FBI Database Jewish acts of terrorism within the united states are more than the Islamic religion. A lot of terrorist claim to be Muslims which is unfair because it gives the innocent Muslims bad names. The Muslims people are loving and respecting people and they do not judge a person based on their actions. For example, when president trump says he was going to banned all Muslims to come to America, I thought it was very rude and un-American to want to a group of Muslims just because of their religion. In addition to the freedom of religion, America is a culture that flourishes with the infusion of multicultural citizenry so why they start judging about the Muslim people. The thing I would never understand is, they have some Christian that do a lot of terrorist acts. For example, 27 year- old Alexandre Bissonnette who went to Laval University attack a mosque in Quebec City but they did not consider him as a terrorist just because he is not Muslim. Support According to everytownresearch.org 160 school shooting across 38 states from k-12 but it sad because Americans people did not see it has a terrorist attack. For example, my family is the only Muslims in our area and a lot of people are scared to be around us especially when trump came it to president. In addition the first attempt to kill abbott, watchmaker ended up killing Abbotts’s colleagues who were in the restaurant to celebrate bill talbot’s birthday. In conclusion, in the movie survivor the sniper that was going to shoot the gas bomb at time square was not Muslim but the reason why I chose this topic majority of Americans fear Muslim ever since the 9/11 attack.

Hiraeth is a longing for a home to which you cannot return or a home which maybe never was. My hiraeth is about the first time I visit my granny rose after two and the half years at Trenton New Jersey. It was a hot summer afternoon, I think I was about six or seven years old when I found out I was going to see Nana rose. My Nana rose is not the average grandmother because she will curse at you and beat your behind if she has to. Meanwhile the car ride to Nana house was long and boring because we have to hear uncle Ben annoying self tell his boring stories. I can remember nana sitting in her bright yellow chair ready to do my hair. A few hours later we pull up to this big beautiful white and green house, with garden of red roses everywhere, also we notice the drive way was packed with cars of our family members. As soon as uncle Ben parked the car I anxiously got out of the care and proceed to porch to ring the door bell and I jumping up and down with excitement. Within a few minutes, I see a head pop up at the window of the front door and I could hear her unlocking the doorknobs and deadbolt. When the open I look up it was aunt Jennifer standing there, my face sadden with disappointment because I thought it was Nana that about to open the door. As you can see Aunt Jen is really not my favorite person to be around because she is rude and she killed my first pet fish. · me: where is grandma · Aunt Jen: do you know how to say hi · me: I don’t like you · Aunt Jen: Mimi viens chercher ta filla (Mimi you better get your daughter) · My Mom: saluez votre tante maintenant (greet your aunt now) · Me: hi aunt Jen now can you please excuse me, I must go find my grandma As I walked inside of the house I was amazed how beautiful and different grandma house looked. The walls were painted in lavender and white with red roses all over the walls , the window curtains were lavender and white with a big flower on top of the table. I notice she still got this big carboard poster with a picture of me and her when I was two years old. My grandma is a very old fashion lady so she do not believe in too much decoration. I was so mesmerizing by how beautiful and simple the house looked and as I into the hallway going towards the kitchen my mouth started to get all watered as I enlightened my nose with the scent of good ole’ Nana homemade cheese cake that I did not notice my grandma in the corner staring at me. · Nana: is that my beautiful grandbaby · Me: Nanaaaa I missed you so much · Nana: me too baby girl & I can’t believe it has been two and half years · Me: it’s mommy fault Nana · Nana: Mimi bring your ass in here now · My mom: yes mom · Nana : don’t mom me and the next time you keep my grandbaby away from me it going to be a problem · My mom: yes ma’am As my mother was walking to the kitchen she looks at me and rolled her eyes I did not pay much attention because I was too busy looking at my beautiful grandmother. Nana was dark skin in complexion, she has long black hair with a beauty mark on her face. She also she is really short but do not let her shortness fool you. Nana rose came and hug me, she smells like lavender with a hint of coconuts. As we walk to the kitchen I see it was painted peach which is my favorite color and then I notice this big glass table that was never there before, it was filled pictures inside of it but when I walk towards the table, the pictures where my baby pictures, you can tell that I am my grandma favorite granddaughter. At that moment is when I realized I am finally home because grandma house was like my second home. As I walked inside the kitchen I can hear my grandma playing some jazz music on her back in the day radio.The kitchen was filled with smells of food but the one smell that got my attention was my grandmother famous strawberry short cake and it took me by surprise because she only makes it when she has to tell a bad news. My grandmother counter was filled with food seasons because she loves to cook so much. I turn around to look for my grandmother to ask her why she bake the cake but she was nowhere to be found so I walked up the stairs to see if she was in her room. As I was walking I can hear noise coming from my grandmother room so I started to speed up but when I got closer, I hear my aunt jen and mom voice telling my grandmother she cannot sell the house. So, I push the door open then my aunt came to push me out but my mom blocked her. · My Aunt jen: Mimi you need to control this child · My Mom: leave her alone and you see why she don’t like you · Me: mommy is granny selling the house · My mom: yes, baby she is · Me: noooo she can’t sell the house · My mom: why not baby Me: because she cannot mommy My mom: she has to baby and it is too expensive Me: I hate you all I looked at my grandma with so much tears in my eyes, she walked near me trying to hug me but I push her hands away and ran down the stairs to the backyard. The backyard was always my favorite place to go to when I am sad because I have a big tree house in the back. When I went to the backyard I saw the tree house my late grandfather and grandmother help me build. I climb up the tree and I notice nothing as change in my tree house. I still have the cute little blanket my grandma sewed for me and I had rose everywhere. I had this pink locket that my grandmother got me when I was six, I always put it on the head side of my tree house for good luck. As I sat on the bed in my tree house, I thought to myself that I had so much memories in this house like why would grandma want to sell it. While I was in wonderland my grandma came up the tree house and sit beside me but I keep pushing her away. Nana: don’t push me away baby girl Me: sorry Nana I’m just so mad Nana: it is okay to be mad baby girl Me: you can’t sell the house nana Nana: I have to baby Me: but all my memories are in this house Nana: I know love Me: this house and the tree house means so much to me Nana: it really breaks my heart to see that you are sad Me: nana I don’t think grandpa would have want to to sell the house Nana: you are right baby girl Me: that locket is only safe in this tree house Nana: oh, my god baby girl you still have that locket Me: yes, I do and it makes me never to forget this house grams Me: grams I miss grandpa Nana: me too Aria Me: Nanaaa don’t call me Aria Nana: little girl that’s your nickname so you better get used to it Me: ik but I am not a kid no more Nana: you are always going to be my Aria and baby girl Me: can we please go inside I’m hungry Nana: I made your favorite Me: really nana Nana: yes, baby girl Me: yay thank your nana you are the best grandmother ever After the conversation, we walk back inside the house with me side by side with my grandmother than we went straight to the kitchen. While in the kitchen my grandma cut a piece of her strawberries short cake for me to eat. In addition, my mom and my aunt jen walk into the kitchen looking at me and shaking their heads but I didn’t pay them no mind because I was busy enjoying the short cake. Next thing I know aunt jen came and took my cake, I started yelling at her. Me: why you take my cake aunt jen Aunt Jen: because I can Me: you are just a bitter old woman Aunt Jen: Mimi you better get your child Me: mommy tell your devil sister to leave me alone My mom: Aria don’t talk to your aunt like that and jen leave her alone please Aunt Jen: you guys keep spoiling her Nana: jen you always picking at this child Aunt Jen: but mom she is too spoiled Nana: so, what, you were spoiled to Jennifer Marie Aunt Jen: mom you don’t have to call my whole name Nana: my house my rules now get out my kitchen Aunt Jen: but mom Nana: get out Jennifer Aunt Jen: fine I will leave As soon aunt jen left I started crying because I did not get the reason why aunt jen hate me so much but that was least of my worry, I was still sad about my grandma selling the house. I got up to turn around then I felt my grandma hang around my neck with my locket. I turn around and look at my grandma and smile. Few hours later I was in my mom car waving goodbye to my grandma before my mom drove off I look at the house then I hold on to my locket. I can hear my grandma voice in my head telling me to be strong and all the memories of the house is in the necklace. Student choice 17

Topic: Forgiveness Please select a topic, blog title, and blog category Forgiveness is the key to move forward in life, when you forgive it will help you release all anger and bitterness from our heart. Holding on to anger will only cause pain and hatred in our heart. Also, it is very unhealthy to have so much negative feelings for example I was sexually abuse by my uncle at the age of six and I hate him with every strength in me but I had to forgive him because I was having trouble trusting people or even moving on with my life. I learn that in life if you forgive, you will become peace with yourself. 4/17/2017 0 Comments blog 14Blog 14

he was telling a personal story about his childhood, he shows and tell his story. He was nineteen years old when he started his first restaurant and he was into food by theater. He was sitting alone in his kitchen in a single chair, facing a desk and shelf full of ingredients stacked up. He is stoking the flame of a wood-burning oven pouring what looks like hot tea in a yellow cup, with a matching plate underneath. He lives in a small house on the countryside and there was a scene of him driving down a dirt road waving to people on the side of the road of where he lives. He does not cook alone and he cook with a band of workers called maestranza. Him and his sister had the restaurant for about 15 years. His sister loved the place but cannot return to it because the memories takes a toll on her. Mallmann creates his ‘’chef’s table’’ as a décor base on his childhood, friendship and how growing up change him to tell the truth. He related his cooking days a lot about being a cocky chef with his big white hat. However, one of the chef told him, he was not making the right thing, just copying everything he wanted to learn and it weighed heavily on him, and he never forget it. He loved music which change his family. His good dish is what captured my attention and I loved the passion he had when he explain how to make fires. “it goes from zero to ten in strength. He talks about love with so much passion, however showed he his wife and children, how his wife do not live at the same house. He thinks if a wife and husbsand live together they want get their freedom. He expresses his love for the people he cooked with and he explains the process of cooking a steak. it relates to my childhood and home because I cannot return to it no more. 3/29/2017 0 Comments midterm reflectionIn this class composition means to combine two or more elements to create a cohesive message.
