Dear Leah,
Thank You so much for commenting on our post and for giving my group and I very good feedback. Moreover, I will take your feedback in consideration and add a couple of details. I think that sometimes with different causes there might be boxes created because there is always oppression going on and it is hard to fight for so many causes that sometimes it might seem like people care more about it than other causes for example you said that the LGBTQ community is forgotten because sometimes Black Lives matter might be more “important”. I think that all causes are important but we decided to write about Black Lives because there has been recent incidents happening and we wanted to keep bringing awareness to different communities.
Sincerely,
Grady, Victor and Victoria

Dear Grady,

My name is Elijah.W from Nelson Mandela School of Social Justice in Brooklyn. I appreciate and applaud you using your voice on the Black Lives Matter Movement even tho it is not really mentioned as much today. I read a comment from Ahmed explaining that your not African American and that stands out to me because it shows that there are good people out here and i respect you for believing in equality and racial change.Thank you for reading my comment and god bless.

Elijah

Dear Grady;
I am really surprised with your post. Your post includes great background information about what happened during World War 2. I am surprised with your entire post because I was able to learn a lot. Thank You for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next.

Dear Grady,

I am glad that you posted “How did human experimentation lead into oppression?” because I agree that the human experimentations did cause a lot of oppression. One sentence you wrote that stands out to me is, “Innocent people were killed in order to keep on going with the experiments which was harmful not just for them but for their families and community” (De Paz). This stood out to me because of all the death that is happening. It’s sad that so many innocent people had to die. Another sentence that made me sad was, “They were dealing with religious intolerance since the inmates were Jews and that is the main reason why they did the experiments in the first place” (De Paz). I think that with so much oppression from the past influence how oppression is in the future. Having the differentiation with religion or classism shows other people that they should follow even if it’s wrong. Thank you for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because I hope it will educate you.

Hi Grady,
I am very impressed with your writing. I agree with Guadalupe you have really good background information about all three of these topics and you included very good pieces of evidence to prove your point. What is your opinion on these experiments that were done on these women? Thank You for your amazing writing. I look forward to your answer to my question and for your future posts.

Dear Grady,

I was very delighted to read your post “How Does Police Brutality Affect The Community?” because the discrimination that People of Color is very important but no one wants to listen to the problems and make a change. I agree with you when you said that money should be put more in schools than police department because then kids will not end up committing crimes and being on the street. One sentence that stood out to me was, “Us, as a community, should be able to speak up and not be scared of police officers. They should be able to hear our voices and how they should learn to protect the community not hurt others.” This stood out to me because police should be able to protect the community and not harm it. People from the community should feel protected and not scared that they will get hurt. Thank you for writing. I look forwards to see what you write next, because you have interesting and important topics that the community should be more aware of.

Dear Grady De Paz
I am a freshman at life academy. I am very proud of your excellate ideas and work that were written in your post. I really liked how you started with a captivating hook to captivate the readers eye. I agree with what you said about why they don’t talk about police brutality but i also would have added that some people are scared to raise their voice because that attracts harmful attention that they might not want. Another part that I wanted to point out was when you talked about how the money was being spent on other things when they should be used for afterschool and regular school so that kids can have a better education. For feedback I think you should’ve added more for you conclusion because you only had one sentence when you could have talked more about your thesis and what solutions you believe could have helped end or take a step to end police brutality. Over all i enjoted reading you article it. Hopefully you write more in the future.

Dear Grady,

My name is Mauro Delpino. I am a senior at Fremont High School in Oakland, California. My teacher gave us a list of students who had to do a Shadow Box project and she also gave us links so as a class we can appreciate them. I chose to comment on your post because I appreciated the variety of pictures and the thoughtful writing that came with it. I also respect the addition of an El Salvador key chain and also the gratitude that you have for your friends. By the way, most people also think I’m white because of my skin color but are very surprised to find out I am Latino (Argentino). However, I have a few questions for you:

Why did you decide to include a clapperboard in your box?
Was the selection process for pictures difficult?
Why did you choose an all-white box?

Lastly, I admire and respect your shadow box in general and I am excited to view your next projects.

Sincerely,

Mauro

Dear Grady,
Your shadow box impressed me because you added pictures of people you love. It was also cool that you painted your box white and added the most important objects you have because it’s a better way of understanding who you are and what you think it’s important In your life.
Sincerely, Aaron

Dear Grady,

I would like to say that your shadow box is amazing, because you put in a lot of detail.Another reason I really liked your shadow box is the fact that you put your friends and you said that they mean a lot to you and they make a big impact in your life.

Dear Grady,
I am loving your shadow box because of the things you use inside of your box. Like for example the swan, you say that it represents you because there are people who oppress you but you still stay strong. That’s a really great way to show your strength. Another thing I really like about your shadow box is that you show your friends. I also agree with you that friends are really important because they are the ones that stick with you through life, and don’t judge you for who you are. Thanks for sharing your shadow box.
