First of all, HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!! It is time to celebrate and thank our brave men that fought for our freedom! They are the reason why we can go out and be who we are without getting hurt. I just hope the white house lights up with red, white and blue for the fourth of July!
Don't forget the history of the USA and that we do have rights from the constitution and those rights should not be taken away from anyone.
Throughout the class I have made some connections with our reading, the articles, with the real world. I am Catholic and do go to church every sunday and last weekend I made a connections with one of the readings! I will post a picture up just to see if anyone in the class can point out what I am looking at here.
Well there is a word that we all should be familiar with! Which is "discourse"! Although in the article the main discourse is spelt with a capital "D". So for those who don't know what discourse means here is a little insight into this term. Discourse is explained by Gee is, "Discourses are ways of being in the world; they are forms of life which integrate words, acts, values, beliefs, attitudes and social identities as well as gestures, glances, body positions and clothes. Discourse is our identity kit". I have to say when I read this I also connect with what is happening on this day and why Fourth of July is very important. Yes there are other countries who have freedom but there are those countries who don't have freedom. And in these countries that don't have freedom people cant have a Discourse or they would be killed. We need to be thankful for our military in order for us, Americans, to have Discourse. But I will stop ranting here because I can go on and on with what is going on and I don't want to get in trouble! haha
So with this ending statement of this blog........
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY
