Malachi’s American Lit Blog

 

 Today, I learned an important lesson about jealousy. People can become jealous when they see a person is looking, feeling, or doing something better than another person. We read a story about how deadly and harmful jealousy can be. At the end of the day, the lesson is to congratulate or pay no mind to things that cause an envious mindset inside of us and keep our goals as our main objective.

 In class, we discussed Native American Literature. Something new that I learned on the topic was that there were more than only few tribes of Native Americans, there were hundreds that spoke many different languages. I also read about the Navajo creation which I thought had many similarities to Christianity. It had many details on the creation of the world around us, similarities to mythology, social values, customs, and cultural details.

 My dream is to be successful or feel success in my art, music and mechanical skills. I can achieve these dreams by practicing what I preach every chance I get and with whatever time I can make for myself to be better than I was before. I can avoid deferring it by always keeping my motivation in mind and understanding that I do have talent in what enjoy and always have room for improvement.
