Hard Bonus: WRITER’S CHOICE Incorporate a line from the movie Purgatory
Easy Bonus: WRITER’S CHOICE Use a line from U2’s song Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Remember when kids used to use chalk on the sidewalks to either do hopscotch or pictures? I wasn’t allowed, but had fun at those who did. It’s too bad the short chalk pieces didn’t get used to make a peace sign… back when we were relatively worry free. It was easy to tell people Peace, Baby!
As an adult, I feel like often peace obligates protest. And it’s not just for the young people who are college aged. While teenage angst is what movies depict most, I think there’s a lot more going on when we grow up, especially if we struggle to make ends meet, and it’s greater when we have children. Even when we go ask for help, we don’t necessarily get it, because there are limited resources with growing population who need the help… So, sometimes, when we are told to go here or there & we’ve already been, I want to say, “I don’t want his help! He didn’t help Melanie and he didn’t help me. Look at me! I wanted to be a lawyer, because I believed in justice. Ha! That’s a laugh. Does this look like justice to you? Oh!” – Purgatory 1988 film
I get it that we will never agree fully with political stances… there are a wide range of beliefs. yet I feel like the right keeps moving to insane measures, and the left has been also… There seems to me no middle ground anymore where the opposite sides can agree, even if it’s limited… Though seriously, I don’t get it as to why free (healthy) lunches for students, Medicare for all, and affordable higher education are so whacky to some people… Which is why it baffles me that conservatives, who always want to be “fiscally responsible” voted for a clown… I’d like to quote U2’s Sunday, Bloody Sunday
I can’t believe the news today
Oh, I can’t close my eyes and make it go away
And the battle’s just begun
There’s many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart
No, I will not compromise equity for people of color, LGBT, women, disabled, etc. just for saving pennies in the store and gas pumps, except that look, the grocery prices have gone up more than gas prices have come down. The clown was voted in to discriminate without helping the economy…
