Media Logs On the weekday, September 8th, I had no plans other than to go to my 11:00 a.m. class and to make the hour-long drive to go to my home town later that night. I had no middle of the day plans, so I spent my day relaxing and watching internet shows on Netflix. Later, I took some time to text my stepfather, because my car broke down.

More than 1,500,000 blacks went north in the 1930's and 2,500,00 in the 1940's. Life in the North was very hard for African Americans.

A darkness. An absolute darkness accompanied with deathly silence. Just somewhere from a distance is heard a baby crying. Kaloona immediately knew, why the darkness clouded her planet. She went in tears to the balcony, looked up to the sky and quietly cried: “I failed. I could not protect Balathron-the light of life. Now our planet will die and all people with it. Mummy, please forgive me.” Kaloona felt hopelessly, but she knew, she must do something very quickly to save her planet and her nation

I knocked on the door it was that soft kind of polished wood. I heard a faint whisper saying “Come in.” I walked in and said “Hi momma how are you doing?” She replied with “I’m okay.” I said “Where’s dad?” She said “I think down in the car. How’s my little star?” “She’s great,” I said with a smile. I looked over at momma she was suffering. She was fighting cancer. I never really thought someone I loved so dearly would get cancer. She said, “Why did you name her star?” I smiled and said “I
