VALB Sticky Notes
Miss. Bryant | 4th Pd
Materialism/Acquisitiveness
Some Americans looks at citizens as materials.
For example:
In Requiem for american dream, Nudam Chomsly said, “elections are not about the people or anyone, it’s an advertisement.
Directness / Openness / Honesty
The truth will set you free.
For example:
If you lie and add another lie to cover the last lie, you’ll have to keeping lying and sooner or later you will lASose the trust of your friends and family.
Informality
Some Americans think being formal is “un-American”.
For example:
In the story, “TKAM”, the children was treating elders without respect. Like when Atticus got onto the kids for treating Mrs. Dubose without respect.
Self- Help
Achieving something by yourself is better than having it passed down to you.
For example:
Oprah was sexually abused as a child but later she became the most successful African American woman today.
I like your comment because somee people these days don’t care about things like this and some people don’t even know about famous people and their life style and what happened in their life and I like how you used it in one of the VALB Sticky Notes/Sentences
Thank you. I just remember her saying about her life style and I thought if someone was going through something like this then they could use her as an inspiration.
yes it totally agree. and i think in all that all americans sometimes think of people as property, and i think that this stems from slavery . and this is why i think they think of people as property.
Yeah. Really we are slowly slipping back into slavery and the world doesn’t even know.
yes i agree to your example for honesty you will get caught up in your lie if you lie to much
And it would be easier to tell the truth.
I kinda did that wants. Its not right to lie either.If you lie to much your family and friends will stop trusting you and what is a friend if you don’t trust right?
Right. No one will want to hang around you if you lie all the time.
I agree, with you 100%. In life lying gets you no where but lying. As you continue to lie, your peers or family wont trust you and not believe you anymore. It could be a life or death situation and no one believes you because you’ve been know to tell lies.Telling the truth just makes life easier.
I don’t understand why it’s so hard to just tell the truth. You wouldn’t have to worry about making sure your lies are in order.
I agree. Some people don’t move past things like that, they dwell on it. Moving past things like that makes you stronger. For her to be as successful as she it today, that shows her wealth and determination. There are lots of people who couldn’t do what she did.
I agree. Some people have so much hate in their life. You can’t live a happy life if you have some much happy in your soul.
I agree, because some of these children out here are disrespectful ,but sometimes it’s not the child’s fault it’s the parents on how they were taught. ( The doesn’t fall to far from the tree)
That’s what I’m saying. If my I talked to my momma how some of these kids talk to they parents, I don’t know where I would be. My momma old skool so she believe in a good old fashion butt whooping, don’t matter what age you is.
