    For decades there was a question that was argued in Washington. The question that was argued over was who got to choose what tree's got to stay. 30 percent of crimes were investigated in 1996. People had to keep their doors locked because there were so many crimes. When kids went to school the doors were locked and the kids had to go home because the roofs were leaking and it was unsafe.

    Some school's failed fire inspection's in 1880. One-third of Washington's money came from the federal Government. In 1975 the congress let Washington elect a mayor and a city council. Hundreds of tourist lined up to the printing building were they print money.

    Did you know that California's biggest industry is agriculture? If you listen to your conscience it will tell you whats right and wrong. Black people who worked at the military or navy or whatever, well they went on strike. The reason why they went on strike was because when they were work and it rained they were sent home when it stopped raining the whites got paid for a full days work and the blacks just a few hours. It's not their fault they were sent home! ,'^(

So I am not going to tell you about the first chapter I read today because I didn't fill conferable telling about it because it was violent. Here's the second chapter. There was a man who was born in Hope, Arkansas and he was elected president. He grew up in a very poor country. He had dreamed of being president ever sense he was a boy and now he is! He has a wife and a daughter. His name is Bill Clinton and he love's music especially jazz. Hey I like jazz to! He was the first young president in 12 years. He went to China with his wife and his daughter. My Nana told me that his daughter just had a baby aw!aw! Clinton is still alive and he is about the age of my Nana. His wife probably wants to run president probably in 2016. Well that's all for today until now... YOUR ON A CLIFF HANGER! HA!HA!HA!

  33. My Essay about History

    Yesterday I just finished reading a history book, the book is called A History of Us 1945-1999 book 10. That is the longest title I have ever had to write! The author is Joy Hakim. Not as long as the title!

    Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated, everyone thought that he was a special person. He was killed by the government, because he disagreed with William F. Pepper's claims the government killed Dr. King. 2 months after King was killed Robert Kennedy was assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan.

    All blacks and some whites were tired of segregation. The blacks were tired of being tortured. They were tired of being mistreated. Then segregation was finally over! NO MORE SEGREGATION!

    That's what I learned from history! what about you?
