Persuasive Essay:
Imagine what we’d do without education. Physical education is part of our curriculum. We; students; want more P.E. time so we can interact more with each other. School is a valuable important time but we should spend some more of that time in P.E. too. More money on the Physical Education equipment should be added.
First; Student want more time with each other. That’s when team sports come in. They would be forced to work with each other and cooperate. Also interaction would be another thing that students would have to do. It is how some kids learn; to be moving around and this is called being a physical/spatial learner.
Second; of all is that this would help us in the future of our lives. This would prepare us for college when we work with other people and when we play sports. Sports are important to some student’s life. Also academics are important too but P.E. would be to make physical/spatial learners learn.
Third; of all physical activity in school helps staying healthy and having sportsmanship. This would require sport equipment and sport teams. You might say we could just join sport teams but it would be a good idea to have it in schools. We could spend some of the school’s money on sport equipment or have people donate sport equipment.

Jem is also learning what to do and what not to do. Atticus is giving them advice and guiding them through their problems.
They face many problems through the book and they always learn something. People criticize Atticus and Scout because Atticus helps an African American and that comes back to Scout.

4. Autobiographical Incident (problem that you confronted)

Julio Munoz:
A summer in July would change my life forever. My two cousins and I played a game that they created. The next thing I know is when I turn around really fast; suddenly I hear a pop. The next thing I see is the sky; I had fallen on the ground and I couldn’t get up.
The first notion that came to my mind was that I couldn’t play soccer. Everybody’s focus was on my knee more than having to play soccer. I realized I caused my cousin’s fear. I listed to the sound of an ambulance in the corner of the street.
I felt so much pain in my knee and leg. I had thought I broken my leg. Surprisingly; I wasn’t that scared when it had happen. The fact that I frightened my cousins made me feel like a bad person.
I was brought to the hospital and they had told me I popped my knee out. My leg was then put in a solid hard rock cast and had to remain in that cast for a few months. After a few months I started to play soccer again. My knee got better and my cousin’s guilt faded away. I always am careful when playing and that experience will always be in my mind.

Decalration of Independence:
Declaration Of The Independence:
‘‘When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.’’
In my own words:
In the history of the United States People
have been separated in wars and they get
separated for no reason; just nature’s way;
That is wrong and people should be equal.
Declaration of Independence:
‘‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.’’
In my own words:
People are equal but they act a certain way that makes them different just by their nature. The government has a lot of power and if they abuse it; the people have a right to do something about it and to make a new government.
