Reading Response -my response

I read ZhiHeng Wang’s response and I and he touched on several similar points. The fact that the teacher treated Dick the way she did making him realize what shame is based on how others made him feel is the part that completely threw me off. The teacher definitely does not deserve to be a teacher based on how she treated him and made him feel different than the rest of his students. The end of the essay where she told him that he didn’t have a daddy was very stereotypical and obviously had racist intent which I can see how it affected him.

I believe one of the most historical events to shake up my world as well as everyone else belief was when Trump was elected president. It is very funny to me because at one point people were joking about the fact that he would become president as I was watching the Roast of Donald Trump on Comedy Central. No one ever pictured this as a reality. The main reason why I have such hate towards Donald Trump is the fact of moral respect. It doesn’t matter if your the leader of a country or just a typical citizen, respect always goes a long way. The way Trump treats reporters, as well as the race and gender orientation of others, sets a big toll as it is disgusting in nature and perfectly depicts what you should not be as the president of the United States.

One event in particular really affected me and my family during this clown’s presidency. On Friday, January 27, 2017, Trump signed an executive order that banned foreign nationals, predominantly in Muslim countries, for 90 days. My aunt and her whole family are of Arabic descent and her father was living in Syria at the time. My aunt just gave birth as well towards the middle of January and her father really wanted to see his first grandson. Unfortunately, due to laws put in place that year, he could not travel to the US for 90 days and that was truly a sad time for me and my family. This one of the hundreds of downfalls I faced as Trump being president. Every day morning I wish to look at my TV and see a president that has moral integrity and aspects from which I can learn on a day to day basis. As far as this presidency went, I haven’t learned anything other than why it should never be a person like him.
