Reaction about today's class

Today during everyone's presentations I learned a lot about the time frame. What a normal day looked like in the 1800s, and the discrimination and racism that took place in century. Honestly, the more I learned about how things were in the 1800s the more heartbroken I became and it was very sad to see how terrible this time was for people. 

I mean the story about how a black person with really light skin was arrested for just buying an ordinary ticket for a train is just baffling and crazy to me. 

Although I can't talk about the presentations without discussing how the people who are giving them did. For the most part, I think people were very organized and put a lot of work into this. 

But there is one thing I am a little disappointed about. I wouldn't say everyone did this, but I'd say a big chunk of people didn't really speak confidently or loud enough in my opinion.

I think if people spoke up a bit more in their presentations, I think everybody would've been perfect. Of course don't give me wrong.

Everybody gets nervous and then that causes them to stutter but I don't think there is anything wrong with that. I even stutter sometimes when I present; in the end it happens to everyone

There is one thing that caught my eye in this and that was how much we used out imagination during this. The presenters did use images but not all of them did, but even the people who didn't use images to back their claims up, they worded it so carefully and with lots of detail, I might add; that it wasn't hard at all to picture what some of the scenarios would look like. 

Lastly my final opinion about this is, everybody did a great job. It was obvious that everybody rehearsed and looked up all the information they needed for this. Also most of all the presenters didn't let their fear or nervousness control them in the end. But like I said the only thing I think that people could improve on is how loud they talk.
