Michael Eric Dyson
Wow this is my first major project ( i mean three month project). My author is Michael Eric Dyson. I pick author because it was a blistering 60 degrees and i was in the library, utterly confused. Mr. Walsh asked us if we needed suggestions on who our author should be. I look at him like i had a good idea, but on the inside i had no clue. I didn't know of any authors that i would seriously do a report on but what the heck. I walked up to Walsh and he said "based on your personality i would go with a type of spritual view. He gave me a couple of good ones, but there was a name that i had never heard before. Micheal Eric Dyson. I had no idea who he was but he said that he was very interesting. I soon went o the computer and saw that this guy was very controversial and went against some of the things that i believed in. He is a very big supporter of Hip Hop and Rap Music. didn't really know what to say, but i want to see how an educated man can think this way. I was in. I hope to find out how one with such good education could support things with such negative connotations. I guess im going to find out.

Wow, I'm curious to see some of his opinions on hip hop and rap music. You raise a really good point about a good education clashing with negative connotations.
ReplyDeleteOne funny thing I've noticed is that a lot of people didn't go with Mr. Walsh's first choice. I'm not sure about you, but it gave me a feeling of accomplishment to choose someone who wasn't necessarily the first person Walsh thought I should read. It made me feel like I actually did some research and preparation on my own.
And I guess we have nothing to do but wait and see what happens with the project. Hopefully you're enjoying your reading so far, and I wish you the best of luck.
P.S. It appears that I've managed to respond to your blog from bottom to top. Not sure how that happened...
