Dear Oswaldo,
Your poem is a very personal story and I really appreciate you sharing it with our class. I like how you connected love to an addiction that will cause you to do crazy things. I could really see where you used the different literary devices! One thing you could work on is being more concise at times I felt as if you were telling the…[Read more] -

Dear Marleni
Thank you so much for sharing your poetry. A line that stood out to me was ” They sacrifice everything for their Devotion Not knowing …It would end their rose from growing” because I really liked how you represented their love as a rose.¨ A connection I made to your poem is how much backlash people in biracial relationships get. Your poem also really reminded me of Romeo and Juliet with a little twist which I really enjoyed. Thank you so much for writing and I look forward to reading your next post.

Dear Tania,
Your shadow box is really beautiful. I like how you incorporated many pictures and objects to express your counter narratives. One sentence that you wrote that stood out to me was, “On the outside I had also put red paper to represent how society thinks we are part of a gang” That sentence stood out to me because it is good to bre…[Read more] -

Dear Kenya,
Your shadow box is really beautiful. I like how you incorporated many pictures and objects to express your counter narratives.

Dear Marleni
I agree with the first quote started “I think they’re great, they are what keep Oakland from turning into a “white- washed” community. Immigrants bring the culture to Oakland”. I agree with this because without immigrants it wouldn’t be the same. One sentence that stands out to me is how you said “Immigration allows there to be more opportunities for Americans, they get a chance to interact with more people who come from different countries and who speak different languages.” because its VERY TRUE people can meet new people and not be use to the same people. Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because your work is very amazing.
Dear Marleni,
I like how you used 2 interviews and 2 sources to show that Immigrants create a better future with more diversity in the communities, bringing culture in Oakland, and having more ways to have a good life. BUT you should’ve talk more about your argument to expand your thinking and have more reasons why Immigrants show more opportunities!

Dear Marleni,
First of Marleni I want to say good job on completing your Blog. Good job on your interviews you asked very good questions ad got good answers to make your blog stronger. Also I like when you said, “Many people assume the worst of immigrants just because they move from one country to another” because it’s very true immigrants are stereotyped and face stigma due to the fact that they’re moving to a different country to have a better future for themselves and their family. Continue to work hard you been doing good.
Dear Marleni,
I like the fact that you added 2 interview and your own perspective on what you think what will be better for oakland like bringing culture back. I want to say good job for completing your blog it talks about good topic and it seem that you put a lot of work on it. I agree with your main point that immigrant just come to america to have a better future.
Marleni
I liked reading your blog because it was super interesting and it was very clear as well to what you want to change or bring awareness to. I like the quote you used in the beginning because it tells us what what it’s going to be about. I really liked the strong interviews you had and the pieces of evidence that you had because it made your argument very strong. I think your work is strong and keep doing good.
