My name is Crystal and I am a student at Fremont High School here in Oakland. I just read your project blog post and I have some feedback.
One thing I liked about what you wrote was you guys are talking about the prison and how it makes us look bad. You guys want to help out which is good and i liked that you were specific on the problem and everything. The thing you guys talk about is true and i agree there should be a change.

Dear Erica H,
We’re really happy you decided to read our proposal for a change in prisons. So for your question, “Would you like judges to enforce laws or regulations around the management of prisons and the care of prisoners? “ , we do in fact want an enforced law and regulations for prisoners care. In the law we are thinking about a person coming to a prison and inspecting it, meaning the prisoners get a chance to talk to someone if they’re being unfairly treated and then an investigation would occur. You know how there is jury duty where a person sits in the court and helps make a decision, well we want the same “duty” to happen for these prison checks. The other question you had was, “ what you would like people to do once you have rallied them to your cause? What comes after that to enact lasting change? “ , After we have people rallied to our cause we want to make a point that a majority of people want what we want as well. It isn’t for sure that, let’s say a court, would listen to us but as said we’ll have a bunch of people ready to fight on with us. To enact lasting change, that’s where our law comes in because it would be staying trust me, or any abuse we’d recieve from officials (like un black lives matter marches). We’d make a longing impact because of how far we’d succeed. Lastly, on some of your confusion we want the court system to just make a change. This does mean wrongly convicting people, being biased, digging deep in a case earlier on, have engaged judges, and to listen to every which way of a story before choosing. Thank you for reading our proposal and I hope you read more of my work and Joana and Kimberly’s work as well.
Sincerely,
Kamyiah

My name is Briana and I really enjoyed reading your article I liked how you used a lot of detail and also how you expressed emotion.

Dear Kami,

I was amazed by your blog! I love how you gave a short and detailed summary of each principle of bio ethnics. I also really liked how you started off your blog with a quote in the beginning and really engaging with your audience. Also I really liked how you not just included Nazi experiment research but also about Tuskegee, really good connections. I also agree with you that the Nazi experiments were unethical and cruel because they basically tortured people. I look forward on what you write next!

Sincerely,
Jennifer

Dear kami,

Your post was very detailed and talked about alot of important topics in our history which was so cool how you incorporated all of that. I also liked how you includes the principles of bioethics that was super helpful to better understand the aspect of ethics revolving around ethics. You gave me a leds while reading this and a clear view of what is meant to be stated in this important piece of writing! Can’t wait to see what you write next.

Dear Kami,
I am shocked about what you wrote about because many victims was apart of the experiment that the Nazi did. And it’s very sad that the had to go through all that pain because it must have been really painful and brutal. One sentence you wrote that stands out to me was “Of course there is a possibility that from those experiments there is great data possible to find cures from diseases but the fact is, it could’ve been taken forcefully. In Nazi experimentation, many people died from those experiments for the sake of data.” This that you wrote stood out to me because the data can be useful because it can be used as data that help cure diseases but at the same time many people die from those experiments for the sake of data. Thank you for writing. I look forward to seeing what you write, next because your writing is very interesting and detail about what your opinion.

Dear Kamyiah:
I am surprised by your blog. I like that you include evidence from people that have seen or lived Police Brutality because this is true evidence that Police Brutality is happening here in Oakland. One sentence that you wrote that stands out to me is the sentence of your interview because it is true that people think that Police Brutality is based on race. I agree that is not about that. It is because Police officers feel like they have power over everyone and that they can correct anyone they want. I like the examples that you bring up in your introduction paragraph because they are true examples and they show evidence. Your post reminds me of me watching the news that said that police brutality had happened somewhere is the US. Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next.

Dear Kamyiah,

I am delightly moved by your post on police brutality in Oakland. It’s such an important topic and i’m glad you shared your voice and decided to put out there experiences with police brutality. A sentence that you wrote that stood out to me was “ In Oakland, Police officers hurt Oakland residents physically and emotionally. Of course, when dealing with police brutality one is bound to have some scars, whether it be on your body or your heart”. This stood out to me because you’re totally right, these people are all getting hurt. Thank you for your writing, I’m so glad you decided to share and publish this. I am looking forward to seeing what you write next.

Dear Kamiyah,
My name is Sharai Ward and I agree with your argument in your article. I am also against police brutality for my own personal reasons. What stood out the most in your article is when you said “Also, it just causes more distrust and it’s actually supporting the gentrification process by continually pushing out Native Oakland folks or Black and Brown people…” I agree with this statement because it seems that most lower class people are African American with bad houses and surroundings. If you agree with my statement please feel free to comment back your opinion.

Hi! My name is Jason and I am writing from Fremont High School.
I was impressed that you were into ballet! I never knew anyone from Oakland had that interest. Why do you think that is a counter narrative for you to be into ballet?

Hey, Im una from Fremont High School. I like how colorful your shadowbox is. I heard that you´ve been to mexico! Do you like it in Mexico? I heard that it´s really nice out there. Do the beads mean a lot to you?

Hey there, I’m Lanavia, and I’m from fremont. I like the way you used your culture in your shadow box. I also heard that you visit mexico often! I’ve never been there, but id like to visit. Why did you use jewlery in your shadowbox?

Hi I’m Lanavia from Fremont High School i like the way you made the little colorful chan hang from the top part. I also like that how in your shadowbox you did a good job by making it creative. That’s really good that you was feeling good with putting your little shoes in the box and all the other stuff. I feel like you really did a good job

hi my name is alexa im from fremont high school. i heard u went to mexico i like your project. is it nice in mexico? thank u for reading my comment

Hi,
I’m Violet from Okemos High School. I enjoyed learning a little bit more about yourself through objects. Even though we are strangers I fell like I’ve learned about you. I hope to read more form you in the near future.

Hi my name is Tevita and i’m writing Fremont High.
I see there a bear in your box. I like that because bears are my favorite animal. Do you even like bears? Or is it just there for decorations?

Dear Kami,
One part of your shadow box that stands out for me is where you kept your lotion from your grandma for 3 years. This stood out to me because you talked about how kids are seen as irresponsible. I really liked how you explain counter and dominate narratives because it was very clear and understanding. You made it very clear that stereotypes don’t define you. Your ballet shoes reminds me that anyone can do anything if they really put their mind to it. Thanks for sharing this amazing work.

Dear Kami,

I love how you put in your ballet shoes in your box to fight the stereotypes. I also love how you put in different color beads on the top of your box to show your three flags. Another part that I liked is where you talk about the lotion your grandma gave you 3 years ago and you want to keep it as long as you can to show your perseverance. Thanks for your art. I look forward to seeing what you do next.

Dear Kamyiah,

I am enlightened about your shadow box because I learned new information about you that I didn’t know before. You also have a lot of objects that have multiple representations and meanings.
One part that stands out to me is the flags you included. This stood out to me because I didn’t know you are Native American but it’s very cool that you’re aware of your roots.
Another part that I enjoyed seeing and reading about in your shadow box is where you explained your #feedthehood bracelet. This stood out to me because it says a lot about you and what you care about.
I liked your shadow box and I look forward to seeing what you make next because your shadow box shows small parts of what you have to say.
