History
I am reading a book series right now called “Dear America” They are geared toward middle schoolers/high schoolers, but do I care? No. They are great books about children growing up during important events in history like World Wars I and II, slavery, and Titanic survivors. The one I am reading right now is about a girl who is dealing with the labor laws/child labor laws of the early 1900’s. I have always loved history, so these books are right up my alley!
I think about how it was “back in the day” when people were sick. I remember reading about a presidential first lady who would have fainting spells and her husband would put a napkin over her face to hide her embaressment. Back then, things like epilepsy and fainting were an embaressment, actually…any kind of illness was looked down upon. So, I think about what would happen if I put myself in some of the shoes of the girls in the books I am reading. I couldn’t handle what the girl in the story I am reading now is going through. Working everyday with only a half hour break for lunch, having to pay for your materials, getting docked money if you are late, or break something, and you don’t start out with much anyways. You have to work because your family needs money. I am just telling ya now…my family would have been kinda hungry because I doubt I could do all day, everyday. So, kudos to those girls who did that. I am rockin the feminism here, we are talking about feminism in class, so I am just throwing everything in this blog.
Anyone else got a headache? I have had a headache for the past 4 days, and we are talking like migraine headaches from this goofy weather change. I keep telling my mom, its for health reasons I need to live in California.
