Savage Inequalities, question 1

Why are you going to college?

I am going to college to do what I want to do for a career for a long time. My field of study is convergent media. With this degree, I will become a radio dj, and talk show host. A career I have wanted since I was in 8th grade. I get to play music, talk about music, and meet bands for a living. I could not think of a better career for me.

task two rough draft

Notes of a native son

I think Baldwin had a very rough child hood and life. To have a father that abusive would have to be horrible. I did get the belt when I was younger but I deserved it. I didn't get it for unreasonable acts. He could have changed his future, he knew what kinda life his father had and was living and he took the same path. He had too much hate built up and it took control of him. He could even have the same deasie his father had. The fact thou that the father still prayed and hoped, even during the bad times shows how much faith he really had.
