My Bull

My bull is white the silver fish in the river,

My bull is the shimmering crane bird on the riverbank,

My bull is the white in fresh milk!

His roar is thunder to the Turkish cannon on the steep shore.

My bull is the dark in the rain cloud in a storm.

My bull is the difference between summer and winter.

Half of him is dark like the storm cloud

Half of him is light like the sunshine.

His back is the shining the morning star.

His brow is red as the back of a hornbill.

His forehead is a flag, calling the people from a distance.

He resembles the rainbow.

I will water him at the river,

With my spear I shall drive my enemies.

Let them water their herds at the well;

The river belongs to me and my bull.

Drink, my bull, form the river; I am here to guard you with my spear.

Me In 1960s

Every day is the same for us NIGGERS . That is what the whites call us in the density of their souls. That is what my mom tells me . She says that the whites are dangerous and that they will hang you. She says even if we aren't slaves we still are treated like rats and that we are crap.

Every day I'm always pasteurised by the bypassing white drivers . They would either call me bastard , a loser , or a nigger. Sometimes I wish that I weren't black . My friends tell me that the whites are jealous because we dance so much better than they do. I tells them that there right and just breeze it off . Us blacks should stick together to stay strong. Well thats my normal life.

Merry-Go-Round (Colored Child at Carnival)

This is a blog about a poem that Langston Hughes created. Hughes writes about several social and political issues. His poems are based on segregation and the Jim Crow
law.Hughes was born 2/1/1902 and Died when he was 65 on 5/12/1967.

Hughes had made a poem named Marry go Round. Marry go Round is poem that explains the differences between a bus , a train , and a Marry go round . A kid talks to the conductor of the Marry go Round about how there is no separation between the two races. Both black and white can ride on the ride together. The is a nice poem and will make a motive for the all the races to get along . Heres the poem:
Where is the Jim Crow section
On this merry-go-round,
Mister, cause I want to ride?
Down South where I come from
White and colored
Can't sit side by side.
Down South on the train
There's a Jim Crow car.
On the bus we're put in the back--
But there ain't no back
To a merry-go-round!
Where's the horse
For a kid that's black?

How do we compare and analyze sampling methods?

I would like to survey the amount of black bears that likes salmon. I would survey 50 black bears.
I would record the record by the reaction they have toward the salmon.

Random sample: I would have the zoo keeper randomly select 50 black bears and feed them salmon.
Convenience sample: I would go to the nearest zoo and survey 50 bears.
Biased sample: I will sample the black bears that looks like they would love some salmon.
