Diary Entries

Dear Diary,
                  President Johnson is doing wonders with his Great Society. His plan is to end all racial injustices and poverty. He is helping poverty majorly. He is doing really great. He is trying to help all those people who haven't had the luck to make enough money to get by. this would help not only them, but our country in general, if these people get the help that they need with healthcare, education, etc. they will be able to make progress and become better people. If  they make progress we will all make progress as a country. we also won't have wasted talent just because the person can not afford education, what this country needs for advancement is more people who have an education.
Sincerely,
                                                                                       Marianne

Dear Diary,
                    Johnson is doing so much to end racism, but racial injustices are done by the public, and laws that try to overturn practices that have been done for centuries will not be undone so easily. But I hope eventually over time they will change. That the racial injustices will be no more and that we may all live in peace one day. People of African descent have been treated miserably for centuries, it is about time they get the treatment they deserve. Their ancestors were ripped from their homes and forced to labor for free in this country, and how do we repay them? we treat them like animals. No one deserves this kind of treatment, I would not wish anyone this, not even my worst enemy. This country needs someone like him, someone who understands the real issues here.
Sincerely,
                                                                                       Marianne

Dear Diary,
                  This so called Great Society has failed miserably.The war in Vietnam is too much for our country economically and Johnson can no longer support the society. LBJ is spending all the money in that pointless war instead of just ending it. The war in Vietnam is just a waste of money, soldiers, and resources. I no longer believe in Johnson being able to run this country. I thought things would get better, that poverty and racial discrimination would be eradicated. Hopefully Johnson doesn't get reelected. He is not a very good president, good presidents don't throw our much needed money down the drain into a war that is impossible to win. Hopefully the next president uses our money wisely and puts it to work toward our actual needs. One can only hope for a better future.
Sincerely,
                                                                                       Marianne
