High School

The ice cream social was fun because we got to meet high schoolers and eat ice cream. I'm nervous about how challenging the classes will be.

Characters

Her eyes were penetrating, deep into my soul. As if she pulled a filing cabinet out of heart. It contained everything I'd ever done, everything I'd seen. She approached me.

4/25/11 Spring Break

I went to Naples Florida where my grandma lives on the beach. The best thing about my vacation was going jet skiing. The Gulf of Mexico was really ruff that day so it made jet skiing all the more fun. But on the Friday before I left for Florida, I went to go see insideous with Katelyn, Jenna, and Taylor. It was the scariest movie I had ever seen. I think the movie was very scary but, twords the end they tried to hard to make it scary, I mean a that bad guy licking the moms face, that's not scary, its just funny.

How will I Go Down In History?

I'm not sure how I will go down in history. I control over how I will be remembered, I think by the choices that I make, and the friends that I have. I

1. There were many causes to the civil war. The war wasn't fought over slavery but over freedom. I think the thing that really marked the start of the war is when the south seceded.
2.One battle in the civil war was the battle of Gettysburg. The union won this battle.
3.The person that I find very influential is Harriet Tubman. She risked her life to help others.

4/14/11 Historical Fiction Reflection

I think I managed my time well, during research, but currently I could be managing my time better but I'm unaware where to lead the story because I have no facts. I found writing to be the easy part, you really get to become the character. The difficult part for me has been Bibme, I did not like the idea of using the notes on bibme, I would much rather keep it in my one note, where its in the format and origination that works best for me. Another advantage to using one note would be that with one note, you can't lose all of you data, I know this is beyond our control but still, its happened to both me and Bianca.

And Now an interview with Elizabeth Johnson.

What made you decide to help Kinie escape?

She's my best friend, we grew up together. Why wouldn't I want her to be free! I knew it was the right thing to do, and when I heard about the underground railroad, it was possible.
Did the consequences ever cross your mind?

Did the consequences ever cross your mind?

Yes, I'd be lying if I said they didn't worry me. I was terrified, but I had to. What was my other option...there were no other options. I was scared to death. I knew my father would never change his ways. I prayed that he would never discover it was me who helped Kinie escape.

Did you have the escape planned out?

Yes, I had every little detail planned, because I knew that I could not get caught, it was illegal! Kinie had nothing to do with the planning, she didn't even know that I was ploting her escape. She had always talked about how much she wanted freedom so badly, and so did the rest of her family. They thought of me as a family member, and I thought of them as my family. They never wanted to leave a family member behind. So in my plan, I would escorte them one at a time to the first stop on the underground rail road. Night after night I would sneak one out.
