To Kill A Mocking Bird


I think the book ‘To Kill a Mocking Bird’ means to not judge people by there race, or what they look like. You shouldn’t judge a person until you get to know them. If you judge someone without knowing them, that could lead to big problem. The thing you should be worried about is if you get them mad or hurt and they turn on you. You could get in big trouble. If you’re being races, that can put you in jail.

Think that the whole book means not to judge anyone before you get to know them. If you don’t know about your friend and judge those by what they look like, that could lead to rumors and it can hurt that person and get you in big trouble.

There is something good about this and there is something bad about this. The good thing is that at the end, everyone gets to know about Boo Radley and saves Scout.

The bad thing is that everyone is judged by their race. I don’t believe that it’s right to judge people before you get to know them.

In this book, there are consequences. For example, if an African/American man was to even look at an American girl, he was destined to get hung. No body wanted to have a mix, because it was just not natural. Everyone wanted to be the same which I don’t think is right because if you’re the same as everyone else, it would be taking the uniqueness out of children and adults.

I think it would be better to be different instead of the same because if you’re the same, there’s really nothing exciting about that. Sometimes, it’s nice to have a little difference. Some people get tired of having donuts and they want cake. That was just an example. Thank you for listening.

I gave the Townsend Act of 1767 a 1 because they didn’t do much of nothing.

I gave the Boston Massacre of 1770 a 5 because that was terrible.

I gave the Boston Tea Party of 1773 a 5, because they were angry and that’s why they threw tea in the water.

I gave the Intolerable Act of 1774 a 2, because at that time it had made them mad, but not mad enough to do something, at that time, they could live with it.

Which Graph is better?

I think the bar graph is better, because it’s easier to understand, and read!

4. Autobiographical Incident (problem that you confronted)

Autobiography

My mom and I were walking in the parking lot of Wal-Mart one late night. My brother and daddy were putting the cart away. There was a man following me. My mom got in the car while I was trying to get the door open. A man came up and grabbed my arm! He was dragging me to a car.
I screamed my lungs out of my throat! My dad came running over. The man must have gotten scared because he released me and ran away. After that, my mom and dad checked me to make sure I was okay. They kept me in the house for a week.
There was no sign of the man since. I will never forget the time when I was six, my heart pounding hard against my chest, and my dad saving my life. Three years later, about ten at night, I was watching the news. In the T.V, I saw my kidnapper’s face, staring at me. I had heard that 6 year old Katelyn Haber had been stabbed to death by this man who’s name was David something or another. I started to cry as I was walking to my room. Me, finely, a 9 year old girl, thinking about that one tragic after noon. What could have happened to me if my father wasn’t there?
Suddenly, my eyes started stinging with all kinds of tears. I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I remember having a dream of a little girl screaming out, “Save me save me!” No one would turn to look at her. She began to scream louder and louder. Then, a man finely turned around. He looked like my father but with a long white beard. I thought it was her father. The man said, “Good bye Rachel.”
Rachel? Rachel was my friend! Maybe that’s where I got it from. When I woke up, it was 3:00. Pitch black. I fell asleep again and had no dream. It was almost like I was dead. From then on, until I turned 10, I had dreams exactly like that one, exactly like that one but with different people. That’s a most important part in my life.

When you have a soda, do you think of how it gets recycled? Scientest actualy found a way of plastic bottles that could be biodegraded. The ones that we;re using aren't being recycled right. They dump it into a place where it takes lots of years for it to degrade.

The story thank you ma'm is about being grateful for what you have. Don't be greety and ask instead of stel. Help out people that you see need help. It's the right thing to do. Eample: You see someone on the streets, go help them out. The lady, Mrs. Joans helped the boy in the story.l She fed him dinner and gave him money for the blue swayed shoes he wanted. She let him use her bathroom to wash his face. We should do the same.
