Assingment #1 Unit 4
A while ago I was involved in a fight with a girl who once was my friend. The fight was caused honestly by me, and for my own reasons. No guy problem, no family problem, but because she was just getting me mad. I did try to avoid this fight, but she just kept running her mouth that I just got to the point that led us to fight. The outcome of this event was that her parents pressed charges on me and I ended up with probation for one year. Not only that but the fight cause us to hate each other more that everything I see her I want to say something. I learned that it is not worth fighting someone that no matter how bad they get beat up they will always run their mouths.

Assingment #1 Unit 3 Exciting and Painful
Growing up can be both excting and painful. First it can be exciting because you will have more freedom as a teenager, most trust with your parents, and you will be more independent. Also because you will have your first job, first love, and practically your first best moment. Growing up is always sometime you should enjoy and value. It can also be painful beacuse uou are growing apart from your parents, you arel leaving your childhood behind, and most importanly because you then learn how life really is. Life is not pretty in pink, it is not a perfect world. Their are things that will make you feel depressed, things that will make you shed tears. I think that Growing up is one of the hardest things ever beacuse you never know what will come, whether it is good or bad.
Assingment #7 Unit 2 Breaking Law Justified
The Americans broke most of the laws that they didn't agree with. when certain people are geting treated unfair just beacuse of who they are, something must be done to stop that. That is what the Americans did, they put a stop to the unfair things they were going through. They had to put the Britains in their place, and make sure they were treated the same.
Alot of colonist broke many of the rules that were set by the British. They did this because they wanted to be independent and be treated with the same rights. Britain was practically taking away the natural rights of each American. They were even taxing them without their consent. That was one of the main reasons why the Americans also broke law to justify. Britain was sending their British soldiers to each home of an American to stay their, but not only that, they also had to eat of the Americans money and home. When the Boston Tea Party came, the americans dressed up, and threw the tea into Boston Harbor, since the tea was going to be taxed. Lots of other things happened which ended up leding to war, which them the Americans won.
Back further before the American Revolution, some people were free but not all. Let's just say that white people were free to do what ever they wanted when ever they wanted.Blacks were not. They were not allowed to drink from same fountains as white. They were not allowed to attend the same school as white. They even had to use different bathrooms at that time. On of the major thing was that blacks would ride in back of the bus, and were absolutely not permitted in the front. A women by the name of Rosa Parks once boarded into the Montgomery City bus, she sat were she wasn't suppose to. When a white man boarded the bus, and the driver told her to move so that the white man could sit she refused. She was arrested, but after that things changed the Civil Rights movement was formed. Also with the help of Dr. King Jr.
I feel that sometimes breaking the law is a good thing. It might change something that is unfair to alot of certain people. Then again now a days if you break a law nothing will change, it might but what are the possibilities? Did both the Americans and Rosa Parks do the right thing? I think so, because if it changed the live of many and it's affective today then yes, it was a good thing. Thanks to all of them we now have freedom and were are not treated different for our colors.

Assingment #6 Unit 2-Liberty or Death
What I have leanred from reading this is that people from back in revolutianry era wait for their freedom. They wonder when it will come. Most people prefer to die then be in slavery. these poor people are tired that they are now fighting and trying to get out of this life. These people cry out for peace and peace but after all they say their is no peace. what has surprised me the most is how they are thinking about either bring free and having liberty or having death. This surprises me because why tell them to kill you if you are a slave. Those people are thinking like their is no liberty coming their way, but if they would wait they would have liberty some day.
