Dr. Martian Luther King Jr.

               Dr. Martian Luther King Jr. was a man that believed everyone is created equal. Even though he believed in peaceful protests and non violence he got death threats. In his life he was named man of the year in 1963 by time magazine and he also won a noble peace prize in 1964. He is called the leader of the civil rights movement.
                Kings idea of the American dream was that everyone is equal and should be treated equally. He wanted everyone to live together and get along with each other. Mostly it was that people shouldn't be defined by the color of their skin but by there actions. He believed the best way to achieve this dream was to be peaceful and patient.
               America has always been a little segregated but i got worse around 1940. To the point that if you weren't white you couldn't even sit in the same restaurant or use the same restrooms and drinking fountains. Dr. Martian Luther King Jr. wanted to change that to show that just because you have a different color of skin doesn't make you superior than the others.
             Dr. King believed that all the problems would be solved if everyone worked together. That everyone needs to develop a world perspective i think this means you should care and know about what is going on in the world. Also how every country views us.
             Even though his thoughts of non violence and standing together applied to the civil rights movement we should use them now. We now are taught that every one is equal and deserves equal rights but that dosent mean that we always treat every one fairly. So we should learn from his beliefs.

The Boring Life Of Cody Seran

Dad: Hi Cody, how are you?
Cody: Good.
Dad: Hows school?
Cody: Its stupid!  I don't even think the sloppy joe was edible.  And in gym, Coach Dinatelli makes me wear a girls uniform when we play flag football.  And the Spanish teacher doesn't even know how to speak Spanish. 
Dad: Oh, well did you make any new friends?
Cody: The neighbors Andy and Albert are pretty cool.  Andy is an Army Ranger and has a home gym.  And these kids named Frankfurter and Renee go to school with me.  And I guess pogo stick is my friend to... Even though I broke his nose playing "bench wars". 
Dad: So anything else happen lately?
Cody: The other night in the woods I saw a man in a ski mask pick up a metal box...
Dad: Oh!  Very interesting...

bullying

          Bullying is when a person picks on you just because your different or your not like everybody else. Bullys often bully the people who are quiet and weaker than them because they cant defend themselves and they wont say anything. A bully can verbally hurt you which is when they call you names or say anything mean to hurt you. Physical bullying is hitting or anything physically meant to hurt you. Also the is cyberbulling which is anything said over the Internet or texted. it could be anyone because people have more courage when  People bully other people because there insecure about themselves and feel better when they point every body else's flaws. Also because they could have a bad life at home or they get bullied themselves by other kids or older siblings. Parents of bullys don't do anything about it and giving them detention only makes them madder. You could keep them separate and watch in the hallways. Bullying is never good for anyone not the bully or the person being bullied.

            There once was a man,
            Who was very tan.
            He was a canibal,
            Who never ate an animal.
              He lived in a cave,
             And never shaved.
           He didnt have shoes,
              But loved his booze.
                His hair touched his knees,
                 and that made him wheeze.
                 He liked his victims chubby,
                  but never grubby.
                he fed the bones to his dog,
                that lived in the fog.
              He didnt like the blood,
                 So he washed into the mud.
               He ate his wife
                 and stabbed her with a steak knife.
                  He made a loud cry
                   and looked up at the sky,
                 I shouldnt have eaten my wife
             and ended her life.
                And now i must end mine
