Today in class we were given a claim and our job was to create an argument that supports it, disagrees, and one that comes to a compromise. My claim was, “Black people don’t tip”. It was pretty easy to write the paragraphs because this is such a broad statement that it’s easy to go against it, but the same can’t be said for the supportive paragraph. I just think this claim is stereotypical, and as soon as say a group as a whole does something, it immediately loses credibility. That’s why when I created my compromise paragraph I stated that black people are more like to tip less than other ethnicities.

It was pretty good, I would rate it a 8 out of 10, the fights are what really made the movie, but the comedy was also good. On Wednesday I went to Miami with my dad and that was probably the highlight of my break.  I flew on a plane for the second time in my life and that was a fun experience as well. In Miami, we visited a lot of restaurants and the food was amazing. My favorite dish was definitely the blueberry pancakes I had. I didn’t get to finish them nor did I bring them with me, that’s probably my biggest regret over the break. We also went to the beach, but I didn’t go fully into the water because I just didn’t want to. We also walked around South Beach and shopped. I got back home...
