Spring Break

Over the break of nothingness, I did nothing. This could possible be the worse spring break, ever in history. After the first couple days, I was even contemplating going to school. Nothing was on t.v. that was descent to watch. I probably only hung out with my friends once. While others are everyday or going off to some tropical oasis.

The American Life

I would like to be known as a good person to be around. I believe we do not have a lot of control. Some parts I will remember but mostly not. I believe others will think of me as a funny and happy person to be around. The program was a little strange, but it was nice. The dental floss escape was my favorite. The story of my life and my struggles.

What I Know

  1. One cause of the Civil War is slavery. Slaves were a huge issue and that pretty much divided most people.
  2. An important battle would be Gettysburg. Gettysburg because it showed that this was serious.
  3. Abraham Lincoln would be an influential person because he was the leader. he lead the Union to victory with little experience.

Reflection

I believe I did use my class time wisely, therefore taking notes was simple. The challenging part was putting the notes in the story. I could have probably added more to it.

Q and A

Question 1: What was your biggest fear in participating in the war?
My biggest fear was that I would lose my family, and myself.

Question 2: At anytimes were you scared and why?
Of course I was scared. I had little experience and I was up against a big cause.

Question 3: Well since you were so scared, what made you keep going?
My motivation was definitely my family, but also the people itself. This is a free country, and I intend on making it that way.

Summer

The cold is wearing everyone down. Slowly but surely its getting annoying, dealing with the endless snow. Then suddenly, everything changes. Could it be, a warm day in Wisconsin? Birds are cheering, people are outside, smiles on everyone faces as the sun glistens on their face. This is the start of happiness. No school, no worries, no snow. Swimming until dawn to dusk, sleeping in, being a fantastic shade of tan. Having fun and hanging with your friends everyday. Now, what's better than that? Nothing.

Braids

Hair as long as the eye can see,
of beautiful  braids
Right past the cheeks,
Thick and wild,
Curly then straight,
This hair changes it's mind, so wait,
People may stare and wonder
But these braids are as bold as thunder
There are endless styles,
They do make others smile
But who, who is the girl with the braids
It's Jayla all day everyday.

Dialogue

Their relationship is strictly professional. They do not agree at all, about anything. The characters basicaaly hate each other. The are no friends to say the least, this may be the first time they have ever communicated but they know of each other and how they react.

"Your tactics are brutal, and unfair!"

"Not as unfair as you treated people unequal. Blacks are people too, everyone deserves freedom!"

"But they are so different, they wl never be like me."

You will never know."
