My main character will be Abraham Lincoln. Some of the other characters will be other Union soldiers.

I think that there are times where you can fight without being voilent. If someone is acusing you a doing something you did not do i think that u can step up and argue to try to prove that you are innocent. If i could fight for something i would fight about shorting the school year because i think it takes up 12 years of your life 9 months of your year 5 days of your week and 7 1/2 hours of your day.

yes i think everyone should have free will because god gave every that gift. I dont think there would be a point to life is nobody had free will. If no one could make their own decisions then there would be no jobs or fun or anything. Yes i do think people have free will because we all have the opportunity to make our choices that is what makes everyone different .

I dont like school.

I dont like school. One reason i dont like school is because i have to wake up early. Another reason is because Mr. Strauss took my cellphone. Another reason is because i have to walk to school and in winter it is really cold sometimes. I also dont like school because some teachers are mean to me. I don't like school because i am usually really hungry and the lunches are not filling. The biggest reason I do not like school is because there is to much homework. One of the only reasons i like school is because of my friends.

I think that everyone has a unique personality and everyone is different

If i could pick a superpower I would pick the power to stop time. I would to be honest stop time and take a candy bar from the store and i would stop time so I could sleep longer.

Respect i think people should get respect by just being a good person overall. You need to be nice, and kind without doing it when everyone is watching.

Sexual Assault to some people is a life changing experience. It could put them in to depression or make them be paranoid for the rest of the lives. To make matters worse some people are too embarrassed to talk about it and they have no one to talk to. Sexual Assault defiantly changes people, in a mentally hurtful and physically hurtful way. People don’t realize the full extent of what it does to a person.

There is no cure for sexual assault so bad people who are into that stuff should stop because they don’t realize the pain they are causing. Sexual assault can lead to depression, suicide, and hurt people in many ways. Sexual assault is too serious to be taking like a joke. Talking to and comforting victims of this crime is a great way to help people calm down.

Human Equality

Imagine working for someone you didn’t know from sun up to sun down. Your only break was when you went to sleep. That is exactly how black people were treated for hundreds of years. War comes to Willy Freeman is a book where it explains this very well. Black people were mistreated in and did nothing to deserve it. In the Revolutionary War black people were promised their freedom if they fought for the army on either sides. Both sides treated black people a little bit better hoping they would join one side. “We were told to leave niggers alone , hoping they’ll join our side” –British Solider. Even though they were promised freedom they still had to go through a tough time not knowing if they would live. It says all men were created equal in the Declaration of Independence. It sure does not look like it when black people were working to the bone doing white men’s work. “It makes you mad scrubbing others floors if was your own you would not be mad cause you cleaning your house”- Willy Freeman. Many black people were killed just out of pure hatred. Black people were always the most poor, least successful, and always never good enough. It got so bad black people could not even marry someone they loved if that person was white. Black people were considered bad for some odd reason. Really white people should be considered bad after the way they acted. Black people should not be mistreated because they taught everyone a lesson. The lesson is one of almost every schools top message; treat others the way you want to be treated.
