Reflection

     My high school career is coming to an end, so many thoughts and ponderances race throughout my head. Where do i start i remember my freshman year feeling like I knew everything, and now in my senior year when there is still a plethora of unexplored facets of life. Over the years I have developed an uncanny ability critically analyze various aspects in and outside the classroom. Thanks to Mrs. Day, who is the alarm clock that awoke my mind, and politely forced me to expand my horizon. I have had teacher teach me in ways they are not aware of. I have learned to look at the big picture. I honestly feel as if I have been enlightened. Although I feel enlightened, I know I have not been properly educated. I am thankful for my enlightenment; even though i lack the proper education, I have the necessary skills to seek out the education I need. I am proud of the small and modest things I have accomplished.

Interview with August Wilson

     During the interview Wilson highlights the short-comings of African Americans, but never directly blames any one thing. By not blaming anyone Wilson implicitly sends a message saying it does not matter what cause this problem we have to find a way to fix it. He speak about the lack of a place in society for blacks, and he touches on how this leads many African-Americans being institutionalized whether it be in the army, penitentiary, or the black church.
     Wilson seems focused on the betterment of black society. It is obvious he wants black to widen their horizon and have more options in life.
