Masterpiece academy #2

   Today, Yulianna talked about " Life after high school". I learned that in order to achieve our goals we must be motivated. She showed us a video about a motivational speaker that faced similar situations to the ones we are facing right now. I also learned that some of the things we don't like about high school won't happen in college. I personally liked this presentation because Yulianna gave us many advices to pursue our goals and dreams.

The book is about how other empires will rise and dominate the white race. Tom and Daisy get really defensive on the subject. That quote, shows the reader that Tom might be racist.
