Remembered Rapture

            On Thursday September 11, 2014, the topic of discussion was from a chapter of the book  Remembered Rapture . The chapter's title was "Class of Politics Writing", my view of this chapter was that it was a expression of the author and how she feels towards her community. She was frustrated and she felt like new voices needed to be heard. She hated the fact of people in her social class weren't stepping up the plate and making their opinions matter in what world they we're living in. While analyzing this text, I made some connections to what's happening today as, even though this text was written in 1999, we still have some of those same issues to deal with today.  I feel like we need to stand up and have our voices heard about whats going on with the "war" between civilians and the police force. The abuse the police officers are able to get away with are starting to become scary and ridiculous. The police force is a sense of security, and we shouldn't be afraid of our protection. Most parents are worried about their children everyday and those parents shouldn't have to worry about the ones protecting them, are the ones that are actually hurting them.  We also need to rise up and have our voices heard. The police force must know their boundaries towards their interactions with the civilians.
