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.
Today we looked over and read a passage about the way language was used between Chinese people in the U.S. Most of the time, speakers have to articulate ways they use English with certain people. We read that some Chinese in America don’t use articles when they speak. The speaker of the text reveals that she sometimes has to switch her speech depending on the people she talks to.
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.
