"The Comparison of Poll Tax Country” to Black like Me John Griffin was a normal white man living an average life. He like many other whites knew that people of color were discriminated against‚ but he never really knew how much the color of one’s skin made a difference in the way people act. If Griffin had seen “poll tax country” he would have seen racism in a new light. Griffin’s experiment was to go down south as a colored man to learn the truth of how life was a black man.

Deaf Day… Walking around basically hearing impaired for a day was interesting. I personally loved it a lot! Being a quiet student comes in handy for me with this project. Teachers didn’t call on me or expect me to talk. I had to have a friend of mine talk to the teachers for me if it was important. My friends didn’t like that I wasn’t able to talk and made sure to speak up and enunciate their words when talking to me. Sometimes I wished that I had someone who knew how to sign so I could practice
