Six Word Story

The lazy influence messy, littering people.

Inspiration Blog #3: Musicians

   Even though they make me feel like I suck at guitar or any other instrument, musicians inspire me. When I see them play, they make me want to get better and play as well as them and it lets me know that there is still more to learn. They make me wish I had music as great as theirs.

Select the Right from the Bill of Rights that you think is most important. Explain why you think so.

   In my opinion, the Fifteenth Amendment is very important. This Amendment prohibits the government from denying a person's right to vote on the basis of race. This could give any person, no matter what color or race.
   In the past, many states did not follow the law and denied African Americans the right to vote by such means as literacy tests, poll taxes, and white primaries. At least now in modern times, people of what ever nationality could be given the right to vote. The Amendment could make all people equal.
   Even if it makes people equal, I believe that the Amendment could help make a more preferred and accurate decision. For example, if there are people running for president and only certain people have the ability to vote, then only opinions from a certain amount of people can be taken. But if everyone is allowed to vote, opinions from everyone can be taken and a more precise decision can be made.
  

Inspiration Blog #2: Family

   Even though nothing inspires me more than concerts, family inspires me just as much. My family supports me as much as they can. They tell me to do well in school and get good grades. Obviously, I would feel ashamed of myself if I ever let them down and slacking off by acting like an idiot. When I have problems, they always have the time to talk to me and are just a phone call away.
   I could always rely on my family. My uncle or aunts would let me stay for the weekend if I have nothing to do. Because I don't live with my mother, my uncle drives me and the rest of my family to see her in Massachusettes every now and then.
   If it were not for my family, I most likely would have not been like I am, and I would not care much for my future.

Inspiration blog: Concerts

   Nothing inspires me more than seeing my favorite bands at concerts. When I see bands playing their hearts out and having the time of their life, the experience makes me want to picture myself in a band, on stage, with fans raising their "devil horns". Hearing the roar of a crowd or seeing mosh pits would make performing so great. 

   Concerts can give me the ability to be energetic and insane, and I can have so much fun. Singing and shouting with everyone else can be so crazy. There can be all different kinds of moshes such as circle pits and a mosh called the wall of death. It would be so awesome to be able to control the crowd and tell them to start jumping, moshing, or to start singing along.

   I can honestly say that concerts are and always will be the most inspirational experiences of my life.

 

Select a quote from page170. do you agree or disagree with it?

   I selected a quote that George Washington lived by. He quoted that you should "Think before you speak." I agree with this quote for various reasons.
   I can agree with this quote because of the bad results that could happen from saying something without using your mind. For example, you could end up insulting the wrong person, and they can react with force and hurt you because you decided to not think.You could also hurt a friends' feelings and they might not want to forgive you for what you said.
   Even though there are bad effects of not thinking before you speak, good effects could also be possible. You could be a detective figuring out a way to interrogate someone who knows something valuable to the investigation. You could be a lawyer trying to prove that your client isn't guilty.
  The quote "Think before you speak" could lead to both, bad and good results.

In your opinion, what made the Declaration of Independence successful and/or a failure?

   I think that there are different reasons that made the Declaration of Independence, both, successful and a failure.
   I think that what made the Declaration of Independence successful, was the List of Grievances(which is the third part and lists the complaints from people, mainly about the British King), and the Resolution.(Which declares the colonies as independent) Many people were against the British and believed they deserved to have rights, the right to be independent and free from British rule. Even though the Declaration of Independence was partly successful with a lot of people, others were not affected.
   I think that what made the Declaration of Independence a failure was the Loyalists, or Americans who fought side by side with the British. Loyalists believed that the British King was their protector and also thought that British laws should be upheld.
   In conclusion, there are various reasons that make the Declaration of Independence successful and unsuccessful.
