What do you think it means?
A song is usually a piece of a poem that someone writes from an experience or just a feeling. i think Brian's song might be about the character Brian writing a song to someone special or creates a big impact on someone or something.]]> 2019-01-28 20:39:33 UTC https://padlet.com/janet_sanchezmorin/nuvd2pzfgi0/wish/325148937 refelctions 2/4 janet_sanchezmorin https://padlet.com/janet_sanchezmorin/nuvd2pzfgi0/wish/325149000 I wonder why gale is not social. He doesn't express himself or talks much to anybody.I also wonder if he feels any kind of discrimination towards him. ]]> 2019-01-28 20:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/janet_sanchezmorin/nuvd2pzfgi0/wish/325149000 inferences 2/5 janet_sanchezmorin https://padlet.com/janet_sanchezmorin/nuvd2pzfgi0/wish/328020497 What are people's attitudes towards civil rights/racial discrimination during this time period? Base your answer on the following quote
People at that time were extremely racist. Usually white people didn't want any kind of interaction with African american people. it was like white people had the first  rights and Africans were left behind. people didn't know how to react to this situation because it was the first time something like this had happened.
What are the major implications of having Gale and Brian  board in the same room? 
Something like this had never happened before. Gale was the first African american that joined a major football team. Many "white people' didn't agree with this situation. ]]> 2019-02-05 20:44:52 UTC https://padlet.com/janet_sanchezmorin/nuvd2pzfgi0/wish/328020497 symbolic photo 2/4 janet_sanchezmorin https://padlet.com/janet_sanchezmorin/nuvd2pzfgi0/wish/328287027 Brian is a funny, sarcastic person.

P. 287

Brian is really social and open minded,not selfish, and humble. he answers in such a confident way. Gale is more like shy and timid but he also confident, outgoing, and goofy


The dialogue showed how Brian and gale are not "friends" but they are criticizing each other in the best way. It's not like they are trying to be mean to each other but neither are they friends. They are just trying to correct themselves.

1 higher order thinking question
Due at the end of class

 I learned that Jim Crow law touched every part of life. Many industries wouldn't hire black people. Also black people were not allowed to use the same phone booths that white people use. Each race had to use their own. In North Carolina, white and black students weren't allowed to share the same textbooks. In Florida, they weren't even allowed to be stored together. The klu klux klan group would use venom and violence to keep blacks in their "place".
What factor would you change if you were born in the 1920's and as an adult you were being discriminated in such way?

P. 290 Provide TE and explain what they mean.

"trembling", this stage direction shows that Gale is super nervous to the point where he was trembling.
"Gales mouth is like death valley", he
this shows how no words at all were coming out of his mouth. He was literally speechless in front of the whole crowd. He was like in moment of shook that wasn't even thinking fast about what to say.]]> 2019-02-13 20:07:15 UTC https://padlet.com/janet_sanchezmorin/nuvd2pzfgi0/wish/331023951 2/15 janet_sanchezmorin https://padlet.com/janet_sanchezmorin/nuvd2pzfgi0/wish/331897955 Based on what you know about the time period and what Brian's mother wrote him in that letter, what conclusions can you make on her upbringing and racial beliefs?

She must have been born around the 1910's so her mindset is built up different. Based on how she reacted to this situation , you can see how she didn't agree with this and she thinks it's just wrong. she tought it wasn't right for two different races to share the same room and in the 1960's it was still a problem but they still did it.

Wait till we see the movie. ]]> 2019-02-15 20:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/janet_sanchezmorin/nuvd2pzfgi0/wish/331897955 2/15 janet_sanchezmorin https://padlet.com/janet_sanchezmorin/nuvd2pzfgi0/wish/331898074 What inference can you make on the men's playing time based on the following stage directions- Be detailed.

By these lines I can infer that Gale has really been out in the field putting the best of him and getting a lot more play time.Gale has been playing aggressively , which is what football is all about. Unlike Brian, he has" only a smudge or two" which means he didn't really put the best of him .someone who sits on a bench doesn't get practice time which can make no difference on your talent.

Gale's uniform, muddy and begrimed; Piccolo's with only a smudge or two. Halas and Gibron pace restlessly up and down the sidelines....p. 292 left side

    "his face is chiseled with tension and anger-cold, acid anger." This illustrates how his face shows how angry he is. He is bitter and way to serious to even receive help from his own wife. this stage direction shows how irritated he is because he got injured.
    This emotional state affected his wife because he was being rude and harsh and acting careless towards her.
