Today in journalism class on May 14, 2012 we read this
example of “I Believe” this essay is named getting angry can be a good thing. It
was mainly about a woman named Cecillia Munoz writing about a time she remembers
when a family friend told her that if
they united states goes to war in latin America , and told her that her parents
belong in an internment camp just like the Japanese-americans during world war
II. Which sparked her to be angry at the situation which inspired her to
work as an advocate . she helped 5o
immigrant families in a day, the faces of the five who didn’t qualify haunted
her dreams at night. Knowing that she couldn’t help everyone still made her
angry and try to strive to help everyone. Furthermore she said “ you have
victories but your defeats outnumber them by far, and you remember the names
and faces of those who lost. This means that even though she may have many
victories and reunite American families with their immigrant family , there are
still some challeges and battles she cannot win. Also she stated “ I deeply familiar
with that hollow place that outrage carves in your soul; I’ve fed off of it to sustain
my work for may years. This means that knowing those circumstances she feds off
it and becomes angry which inspires her to do the right thing and try to help
bring families together even if her part of helping is small. She still tries
to do the right thing.
I personally disagree with her belif of being angry all the
time could actually help bring something positive. Since mostly when im angry ,
my intensions and actions are very negative not positive when someone makes me
angry. Not many can think or do something positive once someone tells them oh
you can do nothing your just a kid or even say your this or that when
someone judges you it makes you angry
and do something destructive.
