Strange Fruit Paragraph

The author was sending a message that the people from the south back then were cruel to blacks and would kill them. Mrs. Holiday easily convinced people that whites were mean in that time frame because of the detailed and gory description on how they would kill blacks. The way she compared things showed how the whites thought by doing this was normal and noble. The way Billie worded the poem showed/told how much they suffered. The worst thing about whites killing blacks is that they thought they were being heroic and it was a "pretty" scene in the south. What white southerners did to blacks was insanely terrible and Billie Holiday described it well in her poem "Strange Fruit."

Vocab Story 1

My Grandpa is a very important person in my life but lately he has had some bad luck and has been on a roller coaster ride of misfortune. It all started out one day when he was masquerading my grandma. He would imitate her laugh and walk just like how she did. She walks funny because she got a knee and hip replacement. My grandpa is very sweet and innocuous guy who couldn't even hurt a fly but he looks like a scary man. My grandma got really upset with him and she thought he was the most annoying person ever. I thought she was going to maim him! I told her not to hurt sweet old grandpa but she did. She kicked him and punched him but something terrible happened. She tripped on the rug flew out the window (which was two inches off the ground) then grandpa went to go and help her but she spit her acid saliva in his face which left him blind and battered. My grandpas aplomb was at an all time low because he didn't just get beat up by a girl but by a grandpa. Every time he saw any of his friends they would make fun of him and now he barley comes out of the house. One thing that I was enlightened on about my grandpa was that he got his vision back! That is the only good luck he has had in a long time. When my grandma informed me about his vision I was thrilled but she didn't seem to care.

Category 1: Art of the Harlem Renaissance, Group:Caitlin T. Abbie R. and Jackson S.

The picture of the black guy sitting at the table relates to American History because it shows how black people didn't get treated fairly. Although slavery had long been abolished, white landowners treated the black people harshly and unfairly. The picture shows the guy with his head down like he is worn out and tired of getting treated badly and that's how all blacks back then. They were treated like that just because they had a different skin color and it was not fair because they had to work even harder then white people and still got treated badly. The picture also shows the bowl with no food in it. They wouldn't get very much food because they were poor and were treated poorly. Abbie Caitlin Jackson

Mylie Cyrus is a Disaster!

Mylie Cyrus is now a complete disaster sense she has come off Disney Channel. She was a role model to many little girls while she was on Disney but now she is a disgusting, sexual, and crazy singer. Right now most kids can't even listen to her music let alone watch her music videos. In her music videos she is either naked, twerking, licking something, or sticking her tongue out! I personally use to LOVE her when she was on Disney Channel but now I look down on her.

State Basketball

My favorite life story is when we went to state this past year for basketball. We played at Steven's Point and we played a total of 7 games. We played four games on Saturday and three games on Sunday. On Saturday we won all of our games and we didn't have any close games. On Sunday we won our first two games pretty easily. Then it was the championship game against Bloomer St.Paul, our biggest rivals. They are a very good team but the funny thing is, is that they are mostly all related and they all go to this little catholic school in Bloomer. The whole game was close! We would pull ahead then they would catch up and pull ahead. There were 45 seconds left and we were up by two. They fouled me so they could get the ball back and I made both my free-throws, which put us up by four. That was a more comfortable lead but when they went down the court she tried to shoot a three but Tori stuffed her and got the ball back. They then fouled Abbie and she also made both her free-throws! After she was done with her free-throws there was only a few seconds left, and we won the game! Everyone was hugging and cheering! When we went to say good game to the other team, instead of shaking hands we hugged each other because they are a great, talented team who we are friends with.
