Elie Wiesel, Night

MLK stuff

my selection in English class wasn't that bad...

I think my mother is English, because she said her side of the family’s ancestors were some of the Pilgrims on the Mayflower

Shakespeare's alright

oh yeah, we were made to read that in 8th grade and in 10th grade

(Night)

they just fucking drown you in the holocaust

I never read Night

basically jooboi goes to auschwitz, papa dies, he gets sad end of story

All I remember was in the 5th Grade I red Hatchet, the 9th Grade we red October Sky, and this year I’m reading the Count of Monte Cristo

Then again, in the 8th grade we Red the Boy in the Striped Pajamas

haha I remember reading Hatchet in the 5th grade

wow actual literature

@FLanon are you in college

when I went to elementary school in Orlando, Florida

social studies was entirely civil rights movement / MLK worship

entirely

literally no room for anything else

I was high GPA so it seems like that's the next step

My Parents were on their Honeymoon in Italy when 9/11 happened.

the elementary school I 'graduated' from was like 80% black though

not sure though, just placing my money into investments and hoping for the best

investments?

so you're not in college (that's smart)

cryptos are hot atm

My dad is an Accountant, and my mom was A Stay-at-home Mom who Recently got a job as a Substitute teacher at my brother’s school.

I've heard of bitcoin since 2012/2013

by that time it was too late to properly mine them

and I didn't have any $ to buy them

so I don't feel bad for missing out

just hoping for the best, setting up my own capital for later

I don't think I'll start jumping on the crypto bandwagon any time soon

My dad considers himself a Boomer even though he was born in 1965, and my mom was born in 1970

@Rhodesiaboo substitute teacher? Sounds like a tough job tbh

yeah, that's moreso Gen X

my parents were both born in 1966

I'm going to wait until about the '20s until I start selling

*Gen X

it's the kind of thing you need patience for

the 2020s?
