(HOOK) Haiti was once known as the pearl of the Caribbean, its soil was rich, not only could be cultivated but also full of gold and diamond. Today, Haiti is completely the opposite of what it used to be decades ago.  (Bridge) Haiti is one strong Island, the people are fighters, they fought for their own independence, and they will keep fighting until the government hear their cries and wipe their tears .

well! well! well! if I say researching, making a claim worksheet, Outline was easy for me, I would be lying. It was very tough for me, even though I knew the topic and what I wanted to talk about, it's just hard to put all of them together, I even change my focal points, but at the end I figured it all out and I felt like the burden has lifted off my tiny chest. From what I researched, it seems like the government of Haiti had borrowed $ 3 billion from Venezuela for infrastructures purposes and the money is gone missing. On October 17, 2018 the Haitians start protesting and want to know about the money. But do you why they are so mad for??? Well, the Haitians have to pay that money back to Venezuela with interest! and without forgetting the countless money they owe France after their independence on January 1, 1804 I hope I will have the outcome of that issue at the end of my research paper.

Start with the authors;  Phyllis Allfrey and Dora Alonso  were active in the society, write stories and short novels. The similarities between both characters is that they are women and unhappy with their lifestyles but have different background. From "Little cog-burt", Moira was very unpleasant, she didn’t like the laborers children because they were completely different from hers. It was Christmas time and didn't want to throw the party for those kids and even cut her own hair, so there would be no fairy.

We are living in a time where most young girls are after a great looking man, even though they know something is wrong about them: economically, socially or any other way, but in their mind, it is just the looks that matter. Well, Tétiyette had multiple marriage proposal by a goat who asked first and a pig the second one, she rejected both but here comes a great looking man and she is totally down for marriage, not too many days after they got married and later found out that, this man was the devil in person, but still went along with it and almost loose her entire life because of the man she desired. The purpose of this story is to teach us that, there are multiple attempts in life you can take them or reject them because it is a choice, but you must know that, sometimes what your heart desires is not always the right choice. I believe that, we have to be careful before making any decisions in life, just Like Tétiyette father said " I don't give a damn! I had alre

The Haitian population is almost entirely descended from African Slaves, they won their independence with France by their sides in 1804, lead them to be the second country in the Americas, after the United States, to free itself from colonial rule. For decades, Haiti have been struggling with corruptions in the government, naturals disasters that hardly hit them and deforestation, which makes it difficult for them to move forward.  Haiti has beautiful beaches and the mountains are admirable, the people are welcoming. Tourism played a big part in the economy then, but now it starts to decrease.  The Haitian culture is quite amazing.

About Me

In Central America, is located an Island called Haiti. Haiti the country where I was born and raised almost 20 years ago, then I moved to the U.S. about 5 years ago with my family of 5 (2 Sisters, 2 brothers and my mother). There are so many places back home, the beaches are beautiful, and the music are just amazing, and I cannot wait to go back to see, feel and enjoy it all over again. In the classroom, I am the quiet one who always sit in the back. I enjoy making conversations from time to time, but not much of a talker. My tiny world is all about music, and I love to sing. Listening to music is where I find my peace of mind as this world is moving. Well!!! let's have great semester together!
