Homework #57

In this essay I will be answering three questions. 1. How do I think high school will be different from middle school. 2. How middle school will prepare me for high school. 3. What do I want to know about high school.

I think high school will be different from middle school because there will be alot of work. I say this because high school do alot of college work and they also do high school work so that they can prepare for college. They would also get loads of homework.

Middle school will prepare me for high school because in 6th grade we do 7th grade work to prepare us for that grade. In 7th grade we might work on 8th grade work and so on. So as we are doing work from a grade higher we are learning and getting used to the work.

3 things I want to know about high school are 1. Are the teachers mean? If so what are their names. 2. Are the teachers nice? If so what are their names. 3. How much homework do you get? Are they very hard or easy? I would like to know these things because they are interesting also I would like to know what teenagers think of their teachers and homework.

So now you know how I think middle school will be different from high school, how middle school would prepare me for high school , and what I would like to know about high school.

Homework #50

The chapter I am reading about is when Rebecca thinks about running away from her aunts house and going to Maplewood. She wants to do this because her aunt Miranda was being to mean and harsh to her. She went to go see Mr.Cobb because she wanted him to take her to Maplewood. Rebecca is like me because when someone is mean to me i just feel to just curse them out and make them feel the pain they are giving me. I also think she is like me because she is like into fun things she is never out of energy. One of the favorite things to do is go to school. She loves to go to school because she loves to see her friends everyday (like me), she loves to learn things (me, not so much), and she also loves helping her teacher Miss Dearborn.

homework # 39

This chapter was about when Rebecca slowly understood her new school and town. The reason I say this is because when she was at school she started making new friends and getting to know her teacher better. Some friends that she made were Miss Dearborn (her teacher), Emma Jane Perkins, Susan, Elijah, Elisha, Clara Belle, and Samuel “Seesaw” Simpson. She also is getting to know the town because she is starting to know the place. She also meets new people in town such as Mr.Cobb, and Mr.Watson.

HW # 31

One song I heard was called "Take me away" by Natasha Bedingfield. I choose this song because she talks about being taken away to a secret place

HW #31

A song that reminds me of a time or place is "Buffalo Soldier" by Bob Marley. I remember this song because one of the people — his name was Jassim — I worked with in Iraq used to play a Bob Marley tape whenever we were in his car. One day we were driving to a city called Falluja and there was a lot of fighting going on. We came to an American army checkpoint and the soldiers who stopped our car and searched it did not want to let us continue. We began talking to them, and when they heard that our driver was playing Bob Marley, the soldiers started to relax. They let us through the checkpoint.

The African Burial Ground Essay

Why is the African Burial Ground important? It is important because it is a marking of when African people died,it is also important because some very important people were buried there. The African Burial Ground is a marking of African people because they were buried there a long time ago. They were buried there because they were either worked to death, killed, or killed themselves.

Important people were buried there. They were buried there because they died for fighting for our rights. Most people that were killed were men. I say this because most men were the ones who fought for our freedoms.

So now you know why the African Burial Ground is important because some important people were buried in it and it was dedicated to African people.
