Civil War.

In the Civil War they had younger boys, teenage boys, play the drums in the war. It was the battle song practically. They were told to play no matter what. They played until the battle was over or they died. How would you feel if everyone around you was dying? & you were being shot at. For me it would be a very scary thing. In the book I picked they were talking about famous or well known children that were the drummers. Poor children chose to become drummer boys because they got free meals. But is free food enough to risk our life? When I am older I plan on going to the West Point Academy then after my 4 years is up go enlistment. That is my Dream. But these boys were about 10, 11, 12 and older. I think that it would be very scary for me.

Actions.

People are motivated to do things. Some of the things are good and some are bad. Actions can help others and they can also hurt others. What could we do to help others?

Fight For It.

There are certain times to fight. With out being violent. You can have a  debate or an argument. For example, In Madison WI Scott Walker was trying to pass a bill that would take away the unions away from all labor workers. People did not like that at all. They went and protested. Yes, there were there violent moments when they vandalized. Violence is never a good thing. Me being a fighter I know how it is to be in fights. Not always fun.

School Rules.

I would just change the dress code and that we can use cell phones during school. And yes they would still be ready for high school. But we would only be able to text during school.

Meanings of Songs.

Some people have different meanings for songs. For some of us a song can mean once special thing to us or to other is could be just a plain song and has really no meaning to them. Some people listen to that one song when they are sad or depressed. Couples have a song, well most do. That song that is dedicated to them. There relationship. Every song has a meaning to someone in the world.
