New Haven

Visiting Alli in New Haven which is in the middle of nowhere except for Yale which is the most intersting thing i got to see! The campus is gorgeous, although some parts are deceiving because the design makes the school appear older than it really is, nevertheless it has a lot of character. The rare books library an architectural genius.

A similar thing to Harry Potter and how students are assigned to different houses, when they are join Yale.

So two things I have learnt while i have been here is hate crime and Lynching. Since Alli is in theater alot of her male friends are gay, and one of them was acting flamboyant and gotten beaten up for it. This is an act of hate crime which is when individuals commit acts of violence simply because they hate a person because of choice of race/sex/sexuality preference.

Also the second term i learnt is lynching which is to execute someone without a reason by hanging them from a tree. This was a popular method in the south when white people used to hang black people because of their color. So Alli was in Murtle beach this weekend, which is somewhere in the south, and was going on about how people got lynched.

Both those terms just made me realize there will always be a battle to be accepted!
