America's Founding Fathers

Authors Note: In this piece I'll talk about what important history events the Founding Fathers have done for us and I would like to thank them for all they have done back then that had made our country  strong as it is today. 


Back around the time 1776 there was a group of people that was known as the  Founding Fathers  and they basically found United States America. Without them our country wouldn't be where it is today. The Founding Fathers have done many important things back then that made our country strong and powerful  and I would like to thank them for what they all have done.

The Founding Fathers are the reason why we are here today. If it wasn’t for them we wouldn’t be here. They’re the ones that basically found United States of America and they also helped with the signing of the Declaration of Independence. If they weren’t apart of the Declaration of Independence and made some of the laws today it probably would change and be completely different.

Not only did they find United States and sign the Declaration of Independence they’re also the ones that wrote the Bills Right. Which had made our country closer together. For example, Freedom of speech and religion that had made many citizens in the U.S  come together and respect one another for who they’re and where they came from. Freedom of speech allows people to speak what their option is let them have their time to say what they have been wanting to say.

As they signed the Bill of rights they have also been involved in another signing which was the U.S Constitution. They had signed because the Bill of Rights fall into the U.S Constitution, the U.S Constitution is a supreme law that states the rules and powers the federal government have. The Bill of Rights is part of the U.S Constitution that had made our government better and how rules and powers make it a better society.

Even though they have done all of these things for our country a long time ago they had done so much for our country to make it a free and powerful. Their faces even ended up on the money and coins we use today  to show what great things the Founding Fathers have done for our country the Unites States of America.

Hatchet

Minha
Cause/effect


Authors Note: I'm have identify what the cause and the effect is in the book Hatchet. And explain If the cause change how the effect would also change.

The book Hatchet is a person vs self because after he got in a plane crash into the middle of the woods and the pilot had a heart attack and he had survive in the woods with very little supplies. The cause of the book is when the the pilot has a heart attack and had crashed the plane into the middle of the woods.

The effect would be that since the plane had crashed into the woods Brian has to try to survive in the woods all by himself. And find shelter, food and warmth. If the cause did change the pilot wouldn't have a heart attack and then Brian wouldn't end up in the woods all by himself and he wouldn't have to try to survive in the woods.

Cause/Effect


Minha
Cause/Effect
Does My Head Look Big In This?
Author: Randa  Abdel-Fattah

Authors Note: I wrote the cause and the effect about the book Does My Head Look Big In This? And explained  how the cause led to effect in the book and how the cause and the effect would change is the story changed. 

The book Does My Head Look Big In This is a person vs.society because it's about a Muslim teenage girl who is deciding to take hijab (to cover their hair with a scarf) she wants to do it but she doesn’t want other people to think that she is weird or treat her differently than she is already treated. She knows that is the right thing to do but she is to scared and confused on whether or not to do it or not.  

The main effect in the book is that she took the scarf and she embraced her religion and now the cause is that people are looking at her weird and acting different to her. She tries to keep strong while people are treating her differently. If the story changed then the effect wouldn’t be the same because then the cause wouldn’t have the people treating her differently and giving her a hard time.

Going To The Brewers Game

Author's Note: Experiencing different things for the first time can be either the worst thing ever or the best thing you ever done. My first time going to the Brewers Game was the best time I ever had.


It was the day that my sister turned 19. My sister, my 2 cousins, and I decided to go to the Brewers Game. Just a regular day going to the baseball game, but this was my first time going and I had such a great time for me to remember this amazing day.


Right as I woke up right there in my face was my sister yelling at me “Wake up!” on her birthday. I was annoyed at her for waking me up, but it was her birthday so I let it go. She said that we were going to the Brewers Game. I was really excited because this was my first time going to a Brewers Game. Since it was my first time going we decided to go all out. We wore “Teach Me How To Bernie” T-shirts, hats, and wore blue and yellow necklaces. I was all ready for the game.


As soon as we got there I was already annoyed, there was so much traffic it took us about 15 to 20 minutes just to find parking. Luckily we got a spot that was really close to the entrance. Then right when we walked in there was a big smile across my face. It was so exciting to see all the players on the field playing and the good thing was that we got really nice seats too which made my experience even better.


While the game was going I had no idea what was going on, but it was really exciting to see the players playing throwing the ball and making  homeruns. Later during the game my cousin had two tickets to the NYCE Club so my friend and I went there while my cousin and my sister went to the Dew Deck. As soon as I step foot into the NYCE Club I felt as I were a celebrity. Only people with the tickets could get in and there was a buffet special with a whole row of different desserts. With these high tables and chairs which we sat on. Of course we decided to order something because we were the only teenagers there and we had waitresses serving us.


When we were up there watching the game from a huge majestic view we ordered dessert. We got this chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice, warm fudge, and caramel drizzled on top. It was amazing plus, seeing the whole game from a amazing view we got.


Going to the Brewers Game and experiencing  that for the first time was incredible. That was definitely one the most fun I had at a game. My first time going to the Brewers Game was something I’ll never forget.

Minha
Title: Dream
Author: Lisa McMann

Authors Note: I read this book called Dream by Lisa Mcmann. And I've identity the main conflict in the book and if it resolved or not.


The book Dream main conflict is that the main character,Jane can never have her own dreams. She keeps getting sucked into other people dreams and she is able to see their dream. Every time she wakes up from a dream her body goes all numb, her vision gets blurry, and she gets very sick. She is not able to control it whenever someone falls asleep by her she automatically passes out and gets sucked into their dream.


The main conflict does not get resolved she still can see people dreams. Although later on she finds on that she is a dream catcher which means that she can see other people’s dreams. While she is a dream she finds out that she is able to rewind, pause, and fast forward the dream.
