1. Persuasive Essay (art in schools)
School Improvements
What do I think we should improve in our school? Well there is a lot of things.
First I think it would be the health of the kids in school. I think we should have more time for P.E. Obesity is a big problem in America. With all the kids healthy and eating right kids will have more energy. That way kids can learn more things.
Next I think we should also improve in Electives. For me an elective is a way of teaching. I think the kids in our school like to have fun. Electives are a lot of fun
We can learn like Arts, Music, and Instruments. All of these things can help us in future life.
Another thing that I now will make the school better is Field trips.
Field trips can be costly but they are worth it. I think we should have a fund raiser.
We can raise money by the arts that the kids in our school do. Like origami sell popsicles and donations. Kids like field trips some times we just want to have fun with our friends.
These are the things I think we should improve in our school. All of this things can help the future of the kids and also the school.

3. Response to Literature
Lord of the Flies
Response to Literature
This is a novel written by William Golding in 1954. In my opinion I think the book is about how people change into savages. It is how people change when there are no rules.
Ralph is voted chief by the kids. The kids do what Ralph says. They hunt for meat and collect fruits. They build shelters for safety but the kids don’t help anymore. Ralph and jack start to argue.
Sam-n-Eric saw the “beastie”. In my opinion it means evil. Jack and the hunters go looking for the “beastie” but they don’t find it. They treat Robert like if it was his pray, Robert was really scared. All the little kids and big ones are dreaming about the “beastie”.
Jack doesn’t like Ralph as chief anymore and quits Ralph’s tribe and makes a new one. Simon saw the lord of the flies and faints but wakes up and goes to jacks party. Jack does a dance and kills Simon. Jack needed fire so he steals piggy’s glasses and Piggy goes to get his glasses back. But jack drops a boulder on Piggy’s head and kills him. Then jack wants to kill Ralph but Ralph finds an officer so they were rescued.
At the last scene of the novel the hunters are crying. I think they were crying because they finally realized that they became savages. What I think this book is about is human nature and how people change.

3. Declaration of Independence
Declaration of Independence :
In my own words
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.
People are all the same:
They have rights to be alive, free, and try to be happy.
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world:
The king has caused nothing but harm and has been a dictator to the states. Basically a meanie. The facts will be told in the declaration.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only:
He wont pass laws unless they give up one of there most cherished which makes him a dictator.
A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people:
A person who wants to be an unfair ruler is not fit to be one.
They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends:
The British have not listened to the complaints. So we will now separate from England and make our country the way we want it.

Non - fiction Summary The Pullman trains
This is the story about African Americans and how they were treated.
The George Pullman train company started in 1867. George thought ex – slaves would be perfect for the job. The Pullman trains were elegant and comfortable. For ex- slaves that were African Americans it was a good job. For women being courted by a porter was lucky.
The porters were kicked and insulted by the passengers. But they couldn’t speak up for them selves. They only had 2 choices quit or work with those circumstances. Some times they gave them a good tip for being a “good sport”. In 1880 Pullman bought 36,000 acres and built a community called Pullman. Twelve thousand employees were required to live in Pullman. The African American employers were no allowed in Pullman. The rents were high and the salary was low. In May 11, 1894, 90 percent of the employers quit because of the low payment. Then the workers rebelled. But he court forced them to sign a contract that said they will never rebel again.
Now you see how much African Americans have worked for there rights. Now DONT be racist Because you can see how much they have help US history.
