Journal # 8 5/1/06

Read the following quote and respond by either analyzing what is being said or reflecting personally through your own experience. Please use the SAT Word of the Day in your answer.

Word of the Day:
Unfettered (un FET erd)--set free from restrictions or bonds
Examples:
Having completed the last of her work for the semester, Carol was unfettered by scholastic responsibilities.
I can’t wait to get to college, where I’ll be unfettered by rules and curfews.

Quote:
Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore. We have seen the future, and the future is ours.
Cesar Chavez

Chavez and his followers in his campaign for social change were standing up for what they believed in. He's right, you can't stop something with such great momentum behind it, or take back something that's already been done or said. He was saying that they wouldn't stop, they set a goal and were determined to follow through with it, unfettered by the opinions or actions of others. He didn't want to just stand down anymore, and he was letting people see that so they would follow suit. Their strength and resolution were extremely admirable.

Thus it is said that this man is gangstar. He has some great points and they are visible in this unfettered quote. No man should fear change, especially if change is what is needed to better a corrupt world.

i think what cesar chavez means is that people should be unfettered. having social change as part of you then you can't reverse your way of thinking. the future is part of what we make it.
