A Daughters Revenge

Journal #6

Bridgett Harris was just three years old when she was first raped by her father. he hadn't thought she'd remember this; being so young, but she did. and this wasn't the last time, he continued to do this to this young African American girl her whole life. He forced her to preformed oral sex, as he also preformed this on her to. One night she (Harris) awoken to her father in bed with her; she screamed and fought him to leave her alone for the first time that night. She moved in with her mother, although the abuse became so bad she actually went to live back with her father Eric. she had never told anyone about this, and i don't think even she knows why. But the time came to act when now as an adult; she watches her father bouncing her sisters young daughter on his lap . this scared her, it brought her back to when she was an Innocent child bouncing on his lap.

Harris went home and made a tap of why she is doing what she is about to do. she explained everything that has happened to her in her life (summed up) explain what Eric had done to her and how she hadn't wanted that for her niece. within a month she meet with her father at her place so they could "talk". she for the first time, explained to him her pain and how she hated him. Harris wanted nothing more for the man to admit what he had done. this same day; they fought and fell to the ground. the girl who had had been a security Gard in her past; naturally her instincts of training set in. her father who had been battling through a kidney stone fell and seemed as he wasn't breather. harris' intentions was not of death.

making sure the man was alive, she then gaged him and pulled down his pants. first she used some scissors, this was ineffective and she moved to a scalpel, removing his penis with one cut. Harris had been sent to jail for manslaughter in the second degree which is as lenient as they could have been. seeing how Eric had died but not from blood loss. he lost oxygen from being gaged and died before he could have from blood loss. she will be in jail for as minimum of 5 -15 years.

The way this story started out i was confused, but it kept me extremely interested because i had to know, what was going to happen next? what more could this child go through? One quote that i found the hardest to read was, "She remembers him getting on top of her and trying to have sex with her. She remembers the phone ringing and pleading with her father to go answer the phone�and him telling her �Don’t worry about it.� She remembers him getting off her in time. She remembers holding her doll. She remembers being in pain. She was 3 years old."

A bully finds a pulpit on the web

Can google differ between positive and negative reviews for a website?
Shopping online is always a gamble, you never know exactly what your getting because u cant actually see it. Ms. Rodriguez went online to buy a pair of glasses. she had been a long time fan of lafont; a french company. Not long after her purchase, she received a call from the owner of the site saying they were all out of her brand and she had to pick another. she was not allowed to get her money back; although a few days later she got them in as planned. The frames were counterfeit and she demanded for her money back; that's when the man became angry, swearing at her. she was also charged an extra $125 .
what i found so interesting about this story was that, when Ms.Rodriguez went on google to find a good site this site was at the top of the list. the owner of this site, has hundreds of posts, all negative. One was even from him explaining to everyone that each time they post something on his web page his statues goes up which causes him to get more business. i find it amazing that even now that we cannot tell what is actually a safe site and what is not. google is my number one go to source of information on a day to day basis; reading this has really opened my eyes to keep a look out for people like this man.

The Invaders

Journal # 5

This story was about a man who's home town was of Arkansas, hot springs.his grandmothers husband shot a man, and to pay his bail of $50,000 he bet all he had on a horse. the name "the invaders" came from this line in the story "You don't know much about Charles Cella. His horses never win. Always bet on the invaders."  charles cella was the owner of the race track.

Hot spring has always been a "natural area" even back when the land was owned by Indians. Why is it that all of these mobsters where if they where to meet in any other place they'd kill each other. Although on this "tour of america" hot springs its for peace. People come from all over and everyone "left their beefs behind" or their disagreements with one another. The town is full of gambling, and for a while it was becoming very poor. All of its hotels roting and falling apart. the gambling revolved around casinos, although most were shut down; and at the race tracks. the young man in the story had been around this is whole life, and his family went through four generation's at the track. The dialogs was southern; you can always tell especially by the saying they have.
