Bashkim Day 11

Michelle
Moving to a new place will always be an experience that you will never forget. Unless the experience comes easy which is very rare and it would feel like the whole new environment is not as different. It is like jail in a way because when you’re new at a prison, you are going to experience many things in different ways like in a physical state and as well as an emotional kind of feeling. Many reasons why some inmates would leave the premises could be because of their behavior and how they react to the whole environment. A reason why they would be dismissed is that maybe the influence they had around them, pressured you into doing something you gave no thought to but had to do in order to make it. It is always worth thinking twice because it will be worth the while. One of the boys was sent to “The Box” because of an action he decided to think was worth doing. I feel like the reason he did it was because he had enough of the daily schedule and just wanted to do what he did outside of the juvenile hall. Thinking about how Jimmy decided to smoke weed made me realize how hard being kept in may be. Sleeping was not enough for him to let go and relax and that tells me that he is really going through a rough time and when sleep cannot make you at least a bit better; then you know if you’re really having problems. Having all this said; I feel like Jimmy did think about it in a way and thought how it was going to be worth it. For Jimmy and some other people; sometimes you need to get away from everything and in this story, the only way of doing that was to just sit back and puff on thoughts of happiness.

  1. I think Bashkim is very right with his opening statement. Not only does moving show who you are, but what your made of. It allows you to either branch out, or suffer the consequences of being alone. I always see being social as a good opportunity. With the sleeping thing as well, i find true. If you cant sleep, it puts you in your own personal hell.

  2. In my opinion I feel that your right when people pressure other people to do something. Sometimes people don't realize yet what could happen in the future it's like a decision on what you going to do and how are you going to face that if it's gets worse. And I understand that we all just want to get away it's normal
