Curtis 6th Blog

So I would just like to start off by saying that I don't agree with Geoff. I am not to happy Night Swan has left the plot.. haha. I was hoping for some round two action. I would like to comment on the new themes that have been introduced in this reading. One I believe to be injustice (refering to Indians obviously.) The other is that everything is that everything is subjected to change.

A quote that I liked was on page 132 that said, "I wonder what good our Indian ceremonies can do against the sickness which comes from their wars, their bombs, their lies?" This shows the frustration that the Indians have. This relates to the Hawaiians back in the day when the "haoles stole their land." They just complained about how white people took everything away from them when they actaully made life better. There would be nothing today here if if weren't for the white people. No schools and I believe they would be technologicaly retarted. This relates to both the theames. I can't decide which side the author is on when it comes to the theme of injustice. I guess I don't really agree with my statement I made earlier about even having a theme of injustice. I think the Indians are like the kids in school that complain about things but do nothing about it to change things. My previous theme about injustice and the other about change contradict eachother and I believe the one about change. Everything is subjected to change. Sure there is some descrimination that the white people are doing that I don't agree with but these Indians are choosing to work for them still. The sooner you realize that good change is happening and make the best out of it (not complain) the better you will be. You don't get anywhere in life with complaining.
I don't really live by that last comment but I try to as much as possible.

There you guys go. I made a serious blog for once. Sorry its like 6 hours late

  1. Curtis, Night Swan's slutty, you don't need any more action on that. And thank you, I'm tired of hearing the Indians complaining, too. Get over it.
