My final grade in english class should be an A. I think I really deserve it. The reason why I said that is because I never disrupted his class, I do all my work and I pay attention.
I never disrupted Mr. Romero’s english class. Even though I never really participated in his class I was engaged with group work. I also reacted a play in front of the whole class. And also stood in front of the class and told all the students the traits of the character Huckleberry Finn. That’s not like me because I’m a shy person I don’t usually do things like that.
I do all my work in Mr. Romero’s english class. Even though missed a {whole week} couple of days of school I still managed to come back to school and catch up and do all my work.
I pay attention in Mr. Romero’s english class. Even though my peers some times be a little talkative a times I never really give into it. I always pay attention to whatever he got to say.
There was never one time he ever called on me because of me being talkative or just being disruptive in his class. I pay attention, I do all my work and I never disrupted his class what more can you ask for. That’s the reason why I believe for my final grade I should get an A.

The person I choose for my African American Literature Biography is Richard Wright. The main reason why I choose him is because I heard of him before but I never really knew what he did so I think this is the prefect time to research him. I’ll be telling you about his early childhood, what he did and some of his accomplishments.
Richard Wright was born on a cotton plantation near Natchez, Mississippi year 1908. His father deserted the family when he was five. A few years later, his mother became ill. Richard and his brother lived with different relatives and for a time then put in an orphanage. Before age 12 Richard did not have a single full year of schooling. Then he moved to Memphis, Tennessee where he began writing. When Richard was growing up he was poor. He was unable to get a book in order to borrow one from the library in Memphis he forged a note from a white borrower.
Richard literary career began after he moved to Chicago. There he became involved in radical politics. He joined the communist party and began writing for Lefist magazine. His interest turned to fiction by the time he left for New York, he had begun Uncle Tom’s Children. His first major success came in 1940 when he published his novel Native Son. He changed today’s life by being the first written book by an African American to be chosen for the book of the month club. Black boy the story of his early life in the south, appeared in 1945 and became a bestseller. Many thought that book was a masterpiece.
After Richard moved to France he continued to write fiction and nonfiction books. At the time of his death in year 1960, he was working on the Eight Men, which was published in the year 1961.
In conclusion, I told you about Richard Wright’s early life, what he did and his some of accomplishments. I’m glad I’ve chosen Richard Wright to be the person to write about for the African American Literature Biography aren’t you.

Should the book Adventures of Huckleberry Finn be taught in school
The book that is called Adventures of Huckleberry Finn should be taught in school. The reason why I said that is because that book can be very educational and could show the students how a book can be compared to real life situations. The main reason why I said the book Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is educational is because the book teals you about a slave trying to escape to freedom and that’s in the history book. The reason why I said the book that is called Adventure of Huckleberry Finn is realistic is because in the story it was talking about Huckleberry Finn going to the dinning room table with dirty hands and clothes and being told by his guardians to go and change his clothes into some clean ones and go and wash his hands and you know almost every child was told that at least a few times in their life to do that. Now you know that’s a real life situation. That’s why I think the book that is called The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn should be taught in school.
