"This is about what I think happened after Roger left the woman's house, and whether he changed or not. This is a prediction of the story called 'Thank you Ma'am by Langston Hughes."
I predict that the kid Roger from the story 'Thank you Ma'am'' probably learned his lesson and turned his life around, because that woman shook him up a good amount and probably gave him a different perspective on life. There is a twist thought, Roger could of went back to stealing stuff for money and all this other criminal things, but I'm sure that he will watch who he robs next time. Roger probably took the high road, because I'm sure he learned his lesson, and I'm sure he doesn’t want to run into another woman like that. I'm sure he went to the store and bought those blue suede shoes, and went and found a job so he could support himself. Well we will never know, but we hope he took the good path not the bad one because taking the bad path never turns out good. The only reason why he was stealing in the first place is obviously the fact that he does not have good parents or his parents simply do not care what he does what so ever. Roger seemed like a god kid after he got the trust of the woman, but everyone stereotypes the kid in a bad way I'm most absolutely sure. But in the end Roger probably got the guts to be a bigger man, because everyone wants to be the bigger man.

My reaction to the story “Dead Man’s Path”
My reaction to the story “Dead Man’s Path” was astonished. The reason why I say that is because, that I don’t understand why the Headmaster wouldn’t let them keep the path for the burial ground. All that they should have done was put a fence on the side that the paths was facing and cover it so you couldn’t see all the people going to the burial ground of so no one could enter the school grounds. If I was that headmaster I would be more than happy to have that on my school grounds because it would e a major perspective of the school and the school would possibly get more attention from it.
The headmaster in the story was just too stuck up to see that what the priest wanted was acceptable; it wouldn’t have done any harm. But to my opinion the headmaster and his wife got what they deserved, maybe they shouldn’t have been so selfish and hardhearted. I think the moral of this story is don’t be greedy and selfish and everyone will be happy.

Revolutionary War comparisons
“In this essay, I will be comparing the movie “The Patriot” and the book “Guns for General Washington” to see what comparisons and differences they have.”
Have you ever seen the different perspectives of the Revolutionary War? There were many different events that took place throughout the 13 Colonies, for example Bunker Hill, The Battle of Lexington, and The battle of Yorktown. In the book “Guns for General Washington” and in the movie “The Patriot” they both take place in the Revolutionary War and they both have a big part in the war in their plot lines. I think that it was a huge impact in the United States to have important or any regular role in the Revolutionary War.
The movie “The Patriot” is about a Man named Benjamin Martin and how he gets fed up with the British and how they were burning everyone’s houses and killing innocent civilians; including his two oldest sons. Although during those times in war you are suppose to play by a list of rules, but since the British weren’t doing that, that means Benjamin and his militant group didn’t also. In the book “Guns for General Washington”, it is a book about how a young man named William Knox and his older brother Henry Knox get irritated at how General Washington’s army is doing at Fort Ticonderoga. Generally Army’s are well trained, dressed, and fed, but not this army. Mostly all of their men have no shoes, no weapons, no shelter, and no anything. That’s when Will and Henry decide to bring supplies to General Washington in Boston.
The movie “The Patriot” and the book “Guns for General Washington” have multiple comparisons; here are some of their comparisons. First off, both of the plots take place round the same years, the Revolutionary War Era. The plot of “Guns of George Washington” Takes place during the Battle of Lexington and Concord which was on April 14, 1775, and the plot of “The Patriot” takes place more during the ending battles, or Yorktown to be exact which was on October 19, 1781. Those dates aren’t that far away from each other, even though they are a few years apart. Another similarity between the two stories is that both of the characters in both stories were trying to contribute to helping the war a great amount. In “The Patriot” Benjamin Martin started a militant group which help the Continental Army a huge amount, even by helping them win the last battle. Now in “Guns for General Washington” William and Henry Knox were trying to get supplies to General Washington’s army so they could defeat the British army, which helped them win the battle of Lexington and Concord. Those are just a few of many similarities but those are the first that pop out at you in these stories.
Although there are more similarities than differences, here are a few of the differences. One of two differences is that both of the stories take place in two different towns, Charleston and Boston which are about 1600 miles away from each other. Generally that’s a big difference to some people but not always. The last of two, is that they weren’t both apart of the same group and what I mean by that is that Benjamin Martin was a part of a Militant group full of farmers, criminals, and just regular towns people. On the other hand William and Henry Knox were a part of the Continental Army, which was the one of the two main armies in the war. Those are the main differences that you will see by reading and watching these stories.
In final consideration both of the stories have a significant amount of similarities and differences and the ones that I pointed out were just few of many. But in the end it does prove that having a part in the Revolutionary war, because who knows maybe someone would of wrote a story or even make a movie about you if you were a part of the Revolutionary War.

Skateboarding ABC's poem
Airborne at anytime
Blasting down breathtaking hills
Carving the clean concrete
Daring to do dangerous objectives
Endurance is all you need at this point in time
Finding the right spot to skate
Grinding on guilt-free rails
Hopping over high fences
Intended to be ignorant
Jumping with joyfulness, when you land that jaw dropping trick
Knee-high in tricks to learn
Leaning side to side as you turn
Manning up to that staircase
No one can stop you; you’re free in the skater world
Open to any outstanding challenge
Pretending not to have any painstaking moments
Quick, is what you timing has to be to land that trick
Running from the raging pain
Skateboarding isn’t a hobby it’s a lifestyle
Tough skaters are the ones who make it out alive
United, that’s what we the skateboarders are
Vacation time is what we need to have to skateboard all day everyday
Watch out for those wreckful rocks
You think of what to do next
Zipping through the zesty breeze
Blasting down breathtaking hills
Carving the clean concrete
Daring to do dangerous objectives
Endurance is all you need at this point in time
Finding the right spot to skate
Grinding on guilt-free rails
Hopping over high fences
Intended to be ignorant
Jumping with joyfulness, when you land that jaw dropping trick
Knee-high in tricks to learn
Leaning side to side as you turn
Manning up to that staircase
No one can stop you; you’re free in the skater world
Open to any outstanding challenge
Pretending not to have any painstaking moments
Quick, is what you timing has to be to land that trick
Running from the raging pain
Skateboarding isn’t a hobby it’s a lifestyle
Tough skaters are the ones who make it out alive
United, that’s what we the skateboarders are
Vacation time is what we need to have to skateboard all day everyday
Watch out for those wreckful rocks
You think of what to do next
Zipping through the zesty breeze
