CRR Why grammar is so important

In my English my class, we learn grammar mechnics and do grammar worksheets to improve our writing Grammar is important because it is the language that makes it possible for us to talk about language. Grammar names the types of words and word groups that make up sentences not only in English but in any language. As  a student , we can put sentences together based on what we learned.--we can all do grammar. But to be able to talk about how sentences are built, about the types of words and word groups that make up sentence that is knowing about grammar. Over the coarse of the year this is what i've learned about English. 


People associate grammar with errors and correctness. But knowing what I know now, grammar also helps us understand what makes sentences and paragraphs clear and interesting and precise. Grammar will be huge for me to know heading in the future.

Chinua Achebe's "An image of Africa: Rascism in the Heart of Darkness"

In Chinua Achebe’s “An image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness” he focuses through out the article is his Conrad’s liberalism and racist views that he believes are expressed through his novel.  Achebe really focuses  on Conrad’s hatred for blacks and the native people of Africa.  Achebe is very clear and descriptive on how he feels about Conrad, he says “The point of my observation should be quite clear by now, namely that Joseph Conrad was a thoroughgoing racist” (343).  He is very confident in his attack on Conrad’s writing ability and what he believes to be a book that should not be read by anyone ever again.  He describes Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness” as “ no more than a steady, ponderous, fake-ritualistic repetition of two antithetical sentences, one about silence and the other about frenzy” (338). Achebe is very judgmental and hard on Conrad and his novel, but i believe that is was deserve.  The problem with Achebe’s article is he starts off saying that he believes this book to be nothing but a depiction of a racist point of view.  Later on he says that he is not a very good writer because his novella is “ no more than a steady, ponderous, fake-ritualistic repetition of two antithetical sentences, one about silence and the other about frenzy” (338).  Then he goes way out to left field and says,. 

The good thing about Achebe’s article is that he is expressing is views as a black man on a book that is very negative towards black.  Through out the book he keeps his thought focused on how much he does not like Conrad’s and his liberal views.  Achebes attacks are very direct when he states “That this simple truth is glossed over in criticisms of his work is due to the fact that white racism against Africa is such a normal way of thinking that its manifestations go completely remarked” (343).  This is one of Achebe’s concerned be expressed in the novella because people will not speak out on it because the time period was in times of heavy racism.  His view on how students take the book is that “ Students of the Heart of Darkness will often tell you that Conrad is concerned not so much with the Africa as with deterioration of one European mind caused by solitude and sickness” (343).   This explains that he believes student see that Conrad is not concerned with the African people but is only concerned about the Europeans and their fascination with the distraction of the Africans. You

Why FDR is my favorite president. (FC)

 President Franklin Roosevelt's was one of the smartest and greatest president of The United States. President Roosevelt had polio, WWII, and the great depression on his plate and still maintain to achieve great progress. FDR "New Deal" fought the Great Depression on a number of fronts. In the famous "First Hundred Days" of his presidency, FDR pushed through legislation that reformed the banking and financial sectors. Unlike former president Hoover, FDR provided direct cash relief for the poor and jobs programs. 

 Just how President Obama use social media to communicate with the American people, Roosevelt's used the radion also know as  "fireside chats," in which he spoke to the nation about the country's problems to  calmed the worried  public.

In 1935 FDR created an act know as "The Wagner Act" which  allowed labor unions to organize and bargain collectively. Arguably the best legislation in American history  the Social Security Act, which set up programs designed to provide for the needs of the aged, the poor, and the unemployed, establishing a social welfare net that, covered all Americans.  FDR urge and heavily relied upon the idea that the federal government have to interfere more in the American people daily life. By the end of his second term, FDR and his advisers agreed that the federal government should stimulate the national economy through its spending policies, which is also known as "Keynesian economics"a strategy that held during the progressive era.

Nonetheless, FDR did much to reshape the United States. With Roosevelt as its presidential candidate, the Democratic Party won again in 1936, caaried out a succesful foreign policy during WWII,layed a greater role than ever before in managing the American economy, allowed the federal government to expand in need for the people,  and in protecting the welfare of the American people. FDR is the greatest president in American history; FDR created important changes in American politics and governance that would define life in the United States for many years to come.
