My favorite power word was "Deteriorating" because it seems like everything in the book is starting to deteriorate. The family is going to break apart, dad cheated now my is trying to get revenge. Tennyson thinks Brewster is getting beat and so does Bronte. But they both find out that it's a skin disease that makes him look like he's getting beat. I think Brewster is also hiding something the way he ran out on Bronte. It's like something is holding him back form being in a relationship.

Brewster has to do everything around the house from cutting up a cow to taking care of his brother.  I don't think he should do all that. I also think his uncle is abusing them because he was going to whip Brewster's little brother because he would get off the cow. I like how Tennyson thinks he knows everything about Bronte.

I want to read the book Brusier. That look like it'll be a good book. I really chose this book because I was in a situation like this myself. The brother tried to bully me but i wasn't taking his stuff! Me and the sister never did work out but we're still friends. If i had to chose another book it would be lock down. That sounds like it'll be a good book too.

If Tom Robinson got shot in the courtroom it would riot in that place. White folk and the black folk would have been fight like cats and dogs. There would've been people running everywhere trying to get out the court house. Children would be everywhere, crying and don't know were they mammy' or pappy' at. The whole situation would be a mess.

If that happen the whole town would be a mess. It'll be white folks against black folks. The black folks would go try to kill Mr. Ewell and his children. They would set his house a fire while he's inside sleeping. It would be a terrible. That'll be the worst thing that's ever happened in Maycomb County.

Scout and Jem would not be outside. Dill would want to go back top meredian with his parents. Scout, Dill and Jem would be fighting the white folks with the black folks. Atticus wouldn't be able to control them. Aunt Alexandra would be packing her suitcase going back to her husband saying "Atticus Finch kids messed this family up!" while Atticus is telling her everything gonna be alright sister.

If I was Atticus I would question Mayella because everything came out of her mouth was a lie. She just don't want her father to go to jail so she blamed it on Tom because he was there. The first question I would ask her is why she didn't go to town with the kids? The second question would be How often does her daddy drink? The third question would be Why did you invite Tom in your house? The fourth question would be Why did you lie and say the door was broken? The fifth question would be How did Tom abuse you? The sixth question would be What happened On the day of November 21? The seventh question would be Are you telling the truth abour everything? The eighth question would be Was there something in sight that you could hit Tom with to get him off of you? THe nineth question would be Was it daylight still? The tenth question would be Mayella do you have a Boyfriend?

Bravery

I think Atticus is theb most bravest person i the book. Atticus stress a lot in the book. At least that's what I think. Atticus is taking on a black man case by being his lawyer. Atticus said if he didn't do it he would be right. His children are being harassed in school and other public place but he's trying to teach them to ignore that kind of stuff. Every man and woman in Maycomb County are talking about how Atticus is a "Nigger-Lover". Even Francis Is saying it, that's why him a Scout was fighting. Atticus and his family goes through a lot in the story but his the most bravest person in the story.

The Great Depression in the United States began on October 29, 1929, a day known as "Black Tuesday," when the stock market–went for a crash. Putting the country into its most severe economic downturn. Some people lost their shirts; banks failed; the nation’s money supply diminished; and companies went bankrupt and began to fire their workers in droves. President Herbert Hoover urged patience and self-reliance: He thought the crisis was just "a passing incident in our national lives" that it wasn't the federal government's job to try and resolve. By 1932, one of the bleakest years of the Great Depression, at least one-quarter of the American workforce was unemployed. When President Franklin Roosevelt went in to office in 1933, he acted swiftly to try and stabilize the economy and provide jobs and relief to those who were suffering. Over the next eight years, the government instituted a series of experimental projects and programs, known collectively as the New Deal, that aimed to restore some measure of dignity and prosperity to many Americans. More than that, Roosevelt’s New Deal changed the federal government's relationship to the U.S. populace.

Elizabethan Sports - Elizabethan Era

In London they did two sports, twice a week. These "blood sports" thought by most people today to cruel and violent,  it had great appeal for the Elizatethans. Large crowds of both men and women of all classes flocked to see bear baiting or bull baiting , and Elizabeth frequently used it to entertain visitiors. "The average Elizabethan," writes historian M.St. Clair Byrne, "was not sensitive to the spectacle of physical suffering, either in human beings or in animals." The building shown here on the left was the arena where bear and bull baiting was held.
Bearbaiting involved a bear tied to a stake by a long rope. The animal was put into a pit where four or five large, fierce dogs call mastiff (or in some cases, lions) were let in for the sole purpose of attacking the confined bear. Any dogs that might survive the bear's retaliation were pulled off just before the bear was killed. The dogs would be considered winners if the large animal was killed, but losers if many of them were disabled that the rest refused to attack. Sometimes apes were used instead of bears.

Jealousy

The theme I picked was jealousy. In the first picture the mom is giving one son a hug and the other one is jealous. In the second picture the little boy was a player. He had two girls one was jealous cause he kiss the other one. All the pictures are of jealousy. Everybody have been jealous before.

The the check his uncle invested in a drug deal and got took and his uncle died. The mother got insurance money for the uncle and she a car and a house.

My life

My dreams is to become a funeral director and take over Jackson Funeral home. Apart of my dream is to open funeral homes around the world. I would open a main funeral home in Atlanta, Georgia. I would live there and have someone work at my funeral homes. During the day I would be doing business until I get a call to pick up someones body. I would try to hire my family to work for me first before I start hiring other people. When my dreams start to come true then I would start having children. I would be happy when my dreams do come true. When a persons dream comes true you have no choice but to be happy. You would have the perfect family and things are going just as you imagined .

The American dream

1. In the first article, people who want the rich to pay a greater share of the nation's taxes or people who want to cut entitlements such as Social Security and Medicare. In the Second article it states, "What do you do for a living?" Try to make money .They're different because article 1 describes what are people fighting with how money/taxes are being changed, article 2 describes what are people living.

2. The fight between President Barack Obama and Republicans over raising the debt ceiling has escalated into more than a fight over the budget and taxes. The second author uses a qoute, "greed is good".

3. I think author 1 is the most trustworthy, I feel because I have a better understanding of article 1.

4. I agree with author one the most because the american dream should be about equality. everyone should be treated farely. it was something similar to what i wrote in my journal about freedom and equality.

5. The 1st article techinique worked best because i felt that it gave me more information and understanding of what the article meant.
