Homework 84

1.I think many people have read the book I'm reading because in Social Studies we Study Egypt.Why,The reason many people read the book is because we started just studying Egypt so maybe people want extra info so when Mr.Depasquale asks a question they will have many reasons why and how to support their given answer.So,I'm reading it because I like Egypt I like the tombs,pyramids,sphinx,and most all mummies so that why I read it.
2.I would recommend everyone to read it because I gives helpful information about Egypt so that if you have to answer any question the book give reasons.Why,because if a Social Studies gives an assignment it's always good to be able to look back and find correct and not false information.One reason I recommend people to read it is because it helps you learn.The second reason it's helpful is because it can be used as a study tool.The third is because your able to have a home resource.

homework 85

response

The ancient Egypt book began talking about how they live.The second chapter was about why egyptians build pyramids,shpinx and other cool stuff.The reason they built them is because they wanted to honor their pharoahs.They would build these cases while the person was alive.When the pharoah died they would fill the case with money,or furniture .So Egypt really cared alot about their pharoahs by paying the person some respects by coming to the funeral.

analyze

The relationship between Egypt and pharoahs is very important. The Egyptians must get along with the pharoahs because that is like their King.I really didn't understand though why they put money or furniture in the case.What if someone stole it?

Egyptian Ancient Culture is about Egypt.The first chapter was about pharoahs and the way of civilization in Egypt.Then the book spoke about the Nile river a.k.a "the gift of the nile." The Nile River is one of the main resources of Egypt .The Nile River runs from southern part Africa to the Northeastern part of Africa.

The relationship between the egyptians and the river is good.They make sure all water is fresh with nutrients for plants.They also fertilize the land that also give oof nutrients.The egyptians land is called "The Black Land."With all stuff going into the water including branches and leaves that able to create sift.

Homework 76

The non-Fiction book I read was name Attack of the Tagger (from the ela school library).This was about a boy who's mom is the principle of a school and he gets caught tagging his mom's car by a hero name Shreddermann,while video taping him from a garbage bag.

This book is mainly about people from a school trying to find a mystery tagger tagging many things and locations.Mr.Green (school teacher)was the first one to experience the tagging event where his car was tagged with a dumb-baby face.

I read it because the cover of the book look very interesting.Because it said attack of the tagger I thought their would be some interesting art pages but there weren't any but i still enjoyed reading the book.

Non-fiction is better than fiction because fiction makes me bored.Reading something that, you know what their saying isn't really real so to me it sometime makes no sense.

Why,becuase anybody can make a fictional book with fake information or events that has alot of pages ,with a interesting cover.

Science and ElA

Science because i like to hear about chemistry and experiments.
ELA because it gives you important historical events

Second Draft Essay

Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry (Essay)

During the 1900s racism was akey factor in the south.During the 1900s skin color affected many people especially blacks.Racism was oppresing African Americans in the south by not being able to be free and have a variety of choices to work for things like white people.As when Lillian Jean made a statement saying to Cassie "you done something standing in front of me" because she wasn't able to be walking on the sidewalk because she was black and Lillian thought she was suppose to walk in the street.

In the 1900s Africans Americans had no choice but to accept difficult tasks.Miz Barnett accused TJ of stealing even though RW and Melvin stole it.When TJ was

I Hate Lillian Jean!

In Roll of thunder hear my cry the logans faced segregation and racism.Many people tell them that they need to listen to the Caucasian people.They weren't able to accomplish important things like the white people.

I would tell Ms.Lillian Jean to leave me alone.She just loves to talk but she never incourages people.Like when Cassie bumped into her she just could've said "it's ok," and kept walking but had to tell her to apologize.But there was no choice so she had to apologize to Ms.Lillian Jean.Ms. Lillian Jean is a really hateful woman because she doesn't believe black people should be like white people.Although most of the time like RW and Melvin stole and gave it to TJ so he could get into trouble,Tj would specify but she wouldn't listen.

I believe Lillian Jean just doesn't like black people at all.Uncle Hammer said "Now this thing between you and Lillian Jean most folks would think you should go around doing what she tell you.....and maybe you should--he said.If Lillian pushed my brother or told him he had to go into the street I would seriously slap her because she is out of her mine just because he's black.I wouldn't go over board but would tell her seriously don't talk to my brother like that young lady.

TJ is a trader by not believing the Logans.If I he was the Logans i would give up on Tj.As he said "who needs y'all a nyway?
