Maycomb County Photo Blog

                                    Observation              

This picture illustrates what Maycomb County might look like. In the photo that I have found, it tells me a lot about when it was taken. In the photo all the houses seem to be made out of wood. It seems like everyone there is pretty poor. I assume this because of the way they dress. All the streets or sidewalks are pretty much dirt, grass, and some gravel. Some more houses in the distance with some other power lines. 2 people are on a porch just looking in a camera. I think they might not have been expecting them to take a picture of them.

                                      Reflection         

     This is a lot like Maycomb in from the description that Scout gave us. In the book scout said it had pretty low population, same in this picture. Very few houses and people shown in this picture. It also looks like its in the same season as most of the book depicts. In the picture the trees have leaves on them and grass is still growing. In the book it tells the reader that grass is growing in the side walk.
Now this picture might have been taken to show off something. It may also show the life/neighborhood of a negro family. This picture was taken in the 1940 which explains why the photo is in black and white.

                                        Questions

     I have a couple questions about my picture. What was the purpose of that picture? Did they ask the people in the picture? Was it his/her's home? I have no answers for this picture.

                    Forgot how to put a picture on (whoops).

   

Election Reflection

                                        What are your thoughts on this election in general?

     My thoughts on this is a very unbiased opinion on both presidential parties. The whole thing has ended up being a very heated debate that no one can decide on. Both of them have done some equally horrible stuff. Both are receiving criticism and are trying to make each other look bad instead of paying more attention of more important topics. I also start realizing though that what they are saying might not happen. So why vote for someone if there is no guarantee if its actually going to happen. Overall this election has been a very interesting one.


                                         What are your thoughts on the election results?

     During the election I was following how everything was going and I was shocked to see that Donald Trump was having no problem with Hillary. When I woke up to find out our new president, I was completely shocked about what I just saw. Many other people were shocked too and mostly upset. Donald Trump won and now everyone is wondering how the future of america will be. I didn't agree that he won but it is what it is and I might as well have an open mind about him. Nobody knows if it will be a bad thing for him to be president. He has the potential in doing something beneficial  to this free country. People need to realize though that some of the stuff that he said he would do (for example: Deport every illegal immigrant) would probably be turned down by the house of congress.

               What are some issues you think are most important/interesting in relation to the election?

There are a good amount of important things that Donald needs to do. A big issue that needs to be taken care of is more jobs. Since Donald is lowering taxes for big companies should there be more jobs? I don't think that immigration isn't a huge deal but I don't completely disagree what he is trying to do. He also has to deal with Isis and find a way to defeat them. I think it is going to be very difficult because who is going to pay for it? He lowered the taxes with big companies/businesses so who is going to be able to afford big taxes for less wealthy people. Overall he has a very big responsibility and he better do it right.
