I do not think that war is always the solution for everything. Wars are started with disagreements that go way to far. Most of the wars that have happened over the years are started by greedy people like the British starting the wars against the colony's. Other wars have been started by jealousy. By country's that thing one country has it all and they would do anything to try and take it away.
Most wars are not necessary. They are started for stupid reasons or by people who want way to many things. When the colony's were started they were very successful in starting up a country and then the British came along and thought they should just take everything the colonies have created and made it there own. This would be how the American Revolution started. Several wars were during this time and all started over stupid things and taken way to far.
Currently we are with a war in Iraq. Unlike the other wars I think this is a war the started with a good reason. It did not happen because we started it, it happened because they were jealous of our country and we defended it. It is one of the few reasons you should start a war to protect our country and people in it. Lots of people lost our lives that did not deserve it. Now we are there to help them set up a new government and to get things our country needs like oil. I don't think that we still need to have this war but I don't think that we will be stopping it anytime soon because there are still several people dying and we need that to stop.

Soldier Essay
10/22/1977
1700 hours
Dear Mom,
I am writing you this letter to inform you how I have been doing in the army. We have been on the run from the British for a while now and now we have just got done with a battle and this was the first big win for us. We do run a lot away from the British but I love the feeling I get when we have a victory for us. It reminds me why I joined the army in the first place to help our country so we can be independent. It has been rough the last year but it is getting better as we win. There is not much food here so we are not getting any healthier but we are able to get enough food to survive.
I have not liked how Washington is just running away from the British. We need to stand up for ourselves and take control of the war. In my last month of service we had one of the greatest wars in this revolution because it was a victory and it showed all of the troops that we can do this and we can win this war. Even tho Washington has not treated us well yet I still believe in him to do the right thing in this war and I'm glad to be one of his soldiers.
I have changed my mind about the revolution in the last month after our victory. I've wanted to give up on the war and just come home. All we did is run away almost all the time and that just gives the British more confidence. Once we got that victory I can see that the revolution is changing and I still want to serve for my colony. I am going to re-enlist this spring. I want to continue fighting because I believe we can win this war.
Love your son,
Private, Justin Wilson

Propoganda Commen Sense
The colonies should have the rights to rebel against Britain because Britain is trying to take away what they have established and make it part of Britain. They have taken their rights away from them as human beings. They are taking away their land, coming into there homes, and they are taking away all the things that the colonist believed in and taking over there governments. They colonists came here to set up a government of there own and to have land of their own and they shouldn't have to just give all of that up because of the British.
The British have come to the colonies to take over there property and they government. They will come into your home and kick you out onto the streets because they are a more powerful group of people and the believe colonists do not have enough support from other colonies to fight them off. They have tried taking over there government but did not succeed right away like the other things they have taken over but if the colonists do not do something then the British will take that over too.
I think the future of America can be a good future if the colonist will stand up to the British and fight for what they believe in. They should not just sit around while the British come into their homes and make them leave. They should be the ones that are making the British go back to there own country and if they have to fight them off i believe they should have the right to do anything necessary to have what they want and keep their own colonies.

Boston Massacre
The night of the Boston massacre there were British soldiers in the streets of Boston and also there were several colonists. They colonist were taunting the soldiers and yelling "fire i dare you to fire!". There was a shot fired eventually but no one knew who or where the shot came from. A battle erupted from this one shot that was fired and eventually the soldiers were being arrested and on trial for this massacre. There were a not that many deaths in this massacre but they were deaths that did not need to happen.
I think that the colonists were to blame for this riot that broke out. They were the ones yelling fire and that can easily be mistaken for the captains order to fire. I think that if they were not yelling at the soldiers or yelling fire then no shots would have been fired by the British soldiers even if they were no the ones who did fire the first shot. If they don't have the proof that they shot first they should go by what would make them shoot and that is the colonists.
I don't think that the soldiers should be responsible for the shot because they do not know who shot the bullet or where it even came from. I think that who ever took the next action after that that lead to the massacre should be the ones who are killed or in jail.

Robert Morris
Robert Morris was born on January 20th, 1734 in lancashire England. The state that he represented was Pennsylvania. He first attended school when he was 10 at a school in Philadelphia. In 1748 he became a merchant in Philadelphia. 10 years later he became a member of the continental congress and was also one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. But before he signed this piece of paper he protested it first but eventually signed. Morris had loaned 10,000 dollars of his own money to go towards funds for the war. He made plans for a National bank and submitted it to congress and it later became the Bank of North America.
Following the war he served in the Pennsylvania Legislature. He died in 1806 at the age of 73.
Robert Morris helped finance a lot of things for the war. He helped pay Washington's troops and help with supplies. Before the war there was a stamp act which Morris was one of the several people who protested this act. He created a bank for the colonies so they could support their troops and keep the war going. Morris was one of the biggest reasons we still had troops fighting for the colony's. If he did not donate money to support the troops then the war would have been over and Britain would control what now is the United States of America.
Robert Morris was part of the revolutionary war for financial reasons. He wanted to help support the troops in the war because he was part of the Philadelphia government. He wanted to be a part of this war because they were the ones who set up the colony's and did not want what they made just taken away. He did not like the way England was treating them because they tried to take things they had no part in. This is why he supported the colony's. He had a great part in this war.
Robert Morris deserves a lot more credit because with out him most of Washington's troops would have quit because they would not have been paid. He is a signer of the Declaration of Independence, he supplied military supplies for the troops to help fight. He was also the person to come up with the idea for a bank. These are reasons that Robert Morris should have more recognition and for many other reasons.

Final Essay
In the 1930's Germany did not really have a set government and that is how Hitler came to power over Germany. He started the Nazis and they started to defeat the people in the government of Germany. They started to gain more and more power after time and then they made a big move and took over the government and when people tried to stop them they would kill them so no one did anything.
When they got the power they became a racist group and they were against all the Jewish people so they started these camps where they would send any Jewish person to and they would be tortured and beaten if they fought. After a while the camps because used for everyone the Nazis didn't like and it became a big thing in the world. Thousands of people were being killed all the time.
The German people did not try to take over the power that Hitler had because they knew he would kill anyone against him and that is what they were doing against the Jewish people. The holocaust became a big murdering streak and Hitler kill thousands and thousands of people. If they would of tried to take over Hitler then they would be put into a camp and most likely killed.

Local History Project
Plymouth Maine
Plymouth Maine is located in the southwest part of Penobscot county. There are around 1300 people in this little town of only 31 square miles. There many towns around Plymouth that many people travel to every day. Some of those towns would be Newport which is one of the busiest around and there are others like Etna, Dixmont, and Detroit.
This is one of the towns where everyone is friendly with other people. Everyone knows there neighbors in this town. It is very different then in a city because of these things. When me and my dad had moved here from Brewer Maine we did not know anyone around here but it did not take long for us to meet people. We know all the people that live on our road and it is a very good town to live in if you like it quite and friendly.
This town has changed a lot since it was first founded. It was originally more of a farming town and now it is more of a community of people. It is a town where people mostly like to relax but it is a great town to do bike riding in or you could go to the Plymouth Pond and go boating or fishing.
In this town most of the people that live here are middle aged people around there 30’s and 40’s and a lot of these people have kids.
This is a great town if you like to go snowmobiling or four wheeling also. There are trails all around and also there are trails to get into Newport also. From Newport you can go several different places and that’s a big reason people go four wheeling and snowmobiling in Plymouth.
The towns that surround Plymouth are a very big help to the people in this town. Newport is a much bigger town the boarders Plymouth and that is where the people of Plymouth can go to get groceries or go out to eat. There are several different places to shop or eat. Bangor is another place that is not to far from Plymouth. It is about 20 miles away and it is a very good place that people can go shopping at for clothes and other things you don’t normally buy in Newport. Bangor is a place where kids from Plymouth like to go to hang out or go shopping for things.
One of the most traveled to places in Plymouth is the Plymouth store. The Plymouth store has been around since the 1800’s and it is a big help to the town. It is a place where people go to get some types of food and get gas for their cars and other things. There is a café that has opened up inside the Plymouth store and that’s a place where people can go eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This is a store that makes a ton of money because it is pretty much the only store in Plymouth that has gas at it and it is also located in a very populated and traveled area of town. This is also a good store in town because the prices are very accurate they do not charge to much for things like most stores will do to people.
The Plymouth pond is a very busy place in the summer. People go there and they can fish or just go boating and tubing. It is a very big spot where kids like to go hangout by the water and some people will swim. People also like having houses by water and this is a good spot to have a house because it is a nice spot in the summer time and there is also very good shade on the shore. This is a very busy place because it is on a busy road. The ponds in Plymouth attract many tourists and vacationers and also fisherman.
This town has changed a lot since it was first founded. It was more of a farming place before and it has made a big change. There are fewer farms around and more houses. There are very friendly people that live in this community and that’s why my dad had moved here to Plymouth. It is a very laid back and relaxed place to live and not much goes on around here. It is so much different from a city where people don’t know many other people around where they live. Mostly every neighbor knows each other and talks every now and then. In the city people aren’t as forward as they are in a town. In Plymouth people will come right out and talk to you they won’t just stand there and say nothing.
There are many opportunities to do outside things in the town of Plymouth. There are snowmobile trails and four wheeler trails all around and you can go a lot of places if you get on them. The store is a place where you can get the gas for your sled or four wheeler and it makes a lot of money of that. Boating is another thing people come to Plymouth and do on there vacation. They like to go out on the ponds and go for a ride in the summer and stop to catch something to eat or just to fish and throw
them back.

Exam 5 Essay.
Mao became leader of China after a lot of work. He was first recognized as a soldier of China and he was a very good one. He became a part of the communist party and he became one of the leaders along with another person. He formed the red army and defeted the other leaders army and became the leader of the communist party and said he was now the leader of China. When he was leader he did not care much about the people and he gave out a red book that was like a rule book for China. Stalin was similar to Mao because he didn't care much about his people he was more about himself. He said that he was leader forever until his death just like Mao had said in China.
Hitler came to power kind of like Mao. He had scared people saying he had all the power and no one tried to stop him because he did have most of it. Mao came to power by defeating another army but Hitler did it by scareing people and after a while he just said he had all power over the people and they can't do anything so they didn't and when he had power he didn't care about people he just wanted to take over the world.
The most common thing that happens when your building dictatorship is that people forget about everyone and the people of the country. They just want to take over the world and have all the power they want. They use the poor people as there army's and let the wealthy people live. They all have ended up getting the power over there countries and once they do that they say they have it for life and no one can stop them because they would most likely kill them if they try to.

Exam 4. Part 1 Prompt 2
Propaganda is a picture with messages that tries to change the opinion of large groups of people. Propaganda is different from art because it is more of like a hate speech but it is in a picture form. It tells people what they should want and what they shouldn't with out actually saying it. Some people in the wars thought it was like art because propaganda is a picture of people and things but i don't think it should be considered art because it isn't the same thing. Art is something good and peaceful and propaganda is based on bad things that people don't want. They are different degrees of propaganda like some are just pictures of things like Picasso's Guernica, which some people call it art and some call it propaganda but others are pictures of people being killed and those people are based on real life situations.
This is a picture of Picasso's art or propaganda called Guernica. I think this is a very weird type of picture or form of propaganda I don't really understand what it is trying to say and it is not very detailed. It looks like the person on the left is throwing there arms up and screaming toward the sky as if she is in trouble or is mad at something that is happening. There are a few people at the bottom of this picture that look like they might have been killed and if this would be considered propaganda those people could be they people that they don't want around and this is showing they should defeat these people. In this picture there is also an animal like thing in the back round that does not look very happy and looks to be angry at something. There are also some people that are also yelling toward the sky it looks like and most of the other people in this picture look very sad and upset.
The bombing of Guernica was an attack by the Germans that destroyed the painting. It was an attack by the planes Germany had on April 26, 1937 during the Spanish Civil War. This attack by the German's was called Operation Rugen. There were several civilian deaths during this bombing and it had a lot of destruction. During the bombing hundreds of bombs were dropped on the city. This bombing had destroyed three quarters of the city and there was not much left of it. There was about 1600 dead and about 900 wounded out of the around 5,000 people in the city. This was a big blow to there economy and and it had a major effect on the war.

Hunger
I have read the book Hunger by Sharman Apt Russell. I would have to say the them of this book is being hungry. This book talks mostly about what happens to your body when you are eating and what your body does when you stop eating. In this book they talk about the history of fasting which is when a person goes so many days with out eating any food all they do is sip water. Most people do it because of their religion or to jump start a diet until now. There are people who will start to fast just to see what it does to the body and how long they can go without food. My favorite part in this book was when it talked about the guy who was hung inside a glass box over the town while he was fasting so everyone could see him and how he was doing. His fast lasted for weeks but near the end of it he was very thin and exhausted. In this book it talks about people who have fasted just to try and set a record and that record was in the Guinness book of world records until they stopped doing it around 2001.
When some people are fasting they usually feel like they don't have energy or feel very tired but sometimes people can fast and they will feel tired but everything else feels fine and they feel like they are a lot stronger. I don't think I would ever do a fasting because i wouldn't want to go very long without food.
People have been fasting for several years now and there hasn't been that many problems with people doing it but it can make you very unhealthy if you do it wrong.
This book was an alright book to read but I would not suggest reading it while you were hungry because it makes you want to eat. It can be very interesting to anyone who wants to learn about the body and fastings.

Essay 2
The Columbian Exchange transformed the world in a more radical(extreme) way than any other development in world history. One significant effect of this process(actions or operation) was the establishment of the Triangle Trade. While many factors were a part of the Triangle Trade, the rapid growth in both supply and demand for new commodities was the largest motivating element. This time period may be best associated(connect with or in relation to) with economic developments, but it is impossible to analyze(to examine critically) this period without considering the intense social impact that the Triangle Trade had on those involved. In truth, a full understanding can only be gained by appreciating(to be greatful or thankful) how economic and social factors(something that contributes to an accomplishment) impact each other in history.

The colubmian exchange was an exchange of foods, animals, slaves, and more. It changed the world in an extreme way. Our effect of this action established the Triangle Trade. The Triangle Trade was a trade with ships that went to different countries and traded goods for other goods and some countries would trade slaves. There was growth for new commodities during this time period because countries ran out of things to trade because they have already traded it to another country. This time period was also connected with the economy development because contries were having to make new products to sell.

Child Slavery
I am doing my child slavery blog on Chocolate Slavery in Cote d'Ivoire. In Cote d'Ivoire Kids 12 to 16 years old are being sold in to child slavery and having to work on cocoa farms picking cocoa beans for several hours a day. At Cocoa farms they have kids working all day and all night with out lights. Most of the kids come from the neighboring country Mali where there are several agents that walk around looking for kids that are begging for food then they tell them they can get them food if they come with them to Cote d'Ivoire and when they get there they are sold to a cocoa farm for very little money. Kids at chocolate farm are not treated well and if they refuse to work they are beaten until they will.
This is a picture of a young child slave who is collecting cocoa beans in a basket that other child salves have collected for him.
In this picture you can see that it is probably a very hot day out and this kid is walking around with no shoes on so there are probably kids in the cocoa fields that are walking around with out shoes to. Also you can see that the kid in this picture is not very old in age and he has probably been doing this for a while to work off debt from his parents or he was sold by a child laborer to do this job that no one else wants to do.
This is a picture of the cocoa beans in Cote d'Ivoire that the child slaves have to pick and sort in to baskets. As you can see in this picture the cocoa beans are very small and it probably takes a long time to find as many as there are that are in this pile. In Cote d'Ivoire there are about 600 thousand cocoa farms and there are mostly kids that work on all of them but the are some adult slaves that have to pay off money they have borrowed and they don't have kids to sell to the cocoa farms and they have to do the work themselves and I think that is what should happen they shouldn't make there kids have to pay off the money that they have borrowed they should do it themselves.
There is an estimate of 15,000 kids working on the cocoa farms in Cote d'Ivoire. Most of the time all they are allowed to eat for there mean is corn paste once a day but sometime they starve the slaves and won't let them eat at all until they get things done that they haven't. The kids are constantly being beaten and whipped if they are not working hard enough. Cote d'Ivoire ships out 43% of the worlds cocoa beans used to make chocolate so that means the slaves are working a lot of hours with out pay. The united stats pays about 13 million dollars a year just on cocoa beans.

French Revolution Essay.
This Picture shows that there was a lot of fighting during the French Revolution and a lot of terror.
There are certain people during the French Revolution that wanted to take over the country and rule everybody.
This picture shows that they didn't care about people dying and they would just put them in a pile when they were found dead.
This is a picture of the Guillotine which was used to kill several people during the French Revolution.
This picture looks like they have just got done executing someone and now they are showing the head to the people watching this event.
During this time when someone was being executed it was a big thing that happened so there were usually a lot of people watching it.
From what I see in this picture they people who were executed by the Guillotine were executed in the middle of the town so everybody could see it.
This picture shows that people were rioting and were destroying all of the bakerys they could find.
This riot was know as the bread riot. Woman were destroying the towns bakerys because they were tired of being treated bad and were sick of all the bread
This picture shows that there were a lot of children that had to see all of the terror and destroying of things during the French Revolution.
Kids were scarred during the Revolution because they didn't understand what was going on and why everything was happening.
What I get from these pictures about the French Revolution is that it was a very bad time for France and they had to go threw a lot of terror and disrespect beacause people wanted to be so powerful and make choices for people. They were a lot of adults and children who died and not many people cared that so many people were being killed they just wanted to be king. All of the poorer people were being treated the worst and all of the rich people were not being killed as much unless they were not loyal to there king.
