"Prizefighter En Mi Casa"

I Bearly found out something,  the guy who is staying at Chula's house is a fighter liker a boxer and Im guessing the dad use to fight because he got injured and then next thing you know the guy El Jefe comes into the family " to help '' , I know this because in the book it was saying that her friends were asking all theses questions about El  Jefe saving there family and winning a fight.


 In the book there is a conflict Person vs Self because in the beginning of the book she donsn't  like El Jeff , she had heard a lot of things about him so he has a bad reputation on him,  for example in the book it said he killed a guy in one of his fights. El jeff comes to there house and family to help them with money because thats what they need money.

"Prizefighter En Mi Casa"

"Prizefighter En Mi Casa" so far is about a girl named Chula (Esperanza), Richi the brother,  momma , papa, abuela , and El Jefe. There all a religious family , and One day some man named El Jefe had to come and stay with them because he was there" to help them", well thats what the mom was saying. There was a story about EL Jefe saying he killed 3 people for a cup of tea so right now Chula is scared of him. Momma is so religious that she tried to give El Jefe everything because in the book it says " the gods send him". Which I don't think is true , I think there just too religious. Abuela is just a quit grandma who also says doe crazy thing about god helping them and them acting bad well make the devil take them.


A trait I can give Chula so far is entertaning , she's like simple like unique out of other stores I read. This book so far sounds like a book about her and her families life. In the book she's a little sister and has a big brother who is always mean to her but she dosnt  let her self.  Like in the back he calls her names and she does too but in spanish.

Would We Be Killed?

Paragraph 1:

How were American Indians (Native Americans) marginalized (pushed aside in society) and made to feel as if they didn’t exist?  Use text evidence from “Would We Be Killed?” to support your answer.  Don’t forget to explain your evidence and how it supports your claim.

The native Americans children were being taken away from there parents to boarding schools to be taught in a white family." The solider was US army captain Hnery Pratt. And he believed that he was saving Ota Kte." This ended up with the children rebelling against the white soldiers.

I think the purpose of Shancie writing this essay is to let people know how her family is just the same as another.Just that she has different ways of celebrating there cultures and way of life.

Paragraph 2:  Choose one of the questions below (A or B)

A: Compare/Contrast Luther Standing Bear’s and Shanice Britton’s experiences in their own time period.

B: What is the purpose of Shanice Britton’s essay? What does she want the readers to know about her and Native Americans living today?

"The truth about Truman School"

What is the truth? " The Truth About Truman School" is  it all started by a girl named Zebby who started a website called truthaboutTruman.com where you were able to say things a newspaper couldn't say. What Zeby wanted was for her schoolmates to write two versions of what happens around the school .She also had a guy friend  named  Amr who also helped her make the website. They both weren't as popular but the website made them popular. One day some username named milkandhoney started to say rude things about Lily.  Lots of kids started to visit the website more and more  saying she was lesbian and everything. Lily  becomes unpopular and starts to get bullied a lot.What gets really big is the bullying doesn't  stop. In the text it said "First, Milkandhoney embarrasses Lilly by posting a picture of her when she was  fat . Then tells everyone Lilly is a lesbian  .All  that makes her popular friends get away from her  and begin to treat her  bad like Milkandhoney does.  

" fireGirl '' Blog 1

Fire girl is about a girl named Jessica she was in a really bad accident and  was burned and didn't really look like the other kids . No one talked to her they  would all talk behind her back, some where even scared of her  .As time passes she  moves and  goes to a new school , a catholic school she asked to move out there because of the good treatment centers. While she was there she met a guy named Tom. At first Tom didn't really talk to her but one day when she was in class one of Tom's friends made fun of her because of her burns and every since that day Tom hated how they treated Jessica different because of her burns. After that day they became really close friends.

A character trait I would give Tom is very nice guy he had a good heart because he was never scared of Jessica if anything he liked her. In the book said that he was never scared to go and knock and her door to see what she was doing. He would defend her when other kids would make fun of her.

Sacagawea #8

Its the last few pages and it ended very good. I liked the book. Sacagawea had her baby,  Lisette  she named her. There was a really sad part though , there was a war that happened with the Indians and British, and Lisette father had disappeared   and Sacagawea had died so Clark took legal Guardian. In the text it says that Clark made a list  of members remembering  everything  about Sacagawea.  How she had traveled thousands of miles to the Pacific Ocean an back while caring for a baby , she did lots . She helped find food, helped communicate  and was symbol of peace. Reasons why she was an up stander because she was a young American Indian among 31 guys and YET spoke her mind and earned lots of respect from everyone. She died happy I bet knowing everyone loved her because she was such a good person.


Person Vs book
 I can compare  this to many other Historical Books about people  ,  how people are up standers because they are known for speaking up or  by helping out the United States  ( changing something that would make a difference ) for example blacks  and whites getting along.

I would recommend this book to anyone . It was really good and short. Very Interesting

Sacagawea#7

So far as I keeped reading its  been  good news everywhere they  go. Clark and lewis have reached there goals , there so happy. In the text it had said that that a whale had washed a shore , so that means meat and blubber for them and the  indians/whites they were with. The nez Perce(indians)  helped Clark, Lewis , and Sacgawea , by feeding them. Yet they all traveld a lot. So thats why they needed the horses a lot. Sacgawea had the chance to reunite with her family again or keep helping Thomas and Clark but she kept going. In the text it said while they were traveling    she was really hoping she would find them and seem them . While traveling they were all getting paid except Sacgawea. WHY? I don't know. On August 17 Lewis and Clark left to receive a welcome as national heroes.

Sacgawea is demonstrative women. I say that because since I got a couple pages left to go  , threw out then whole story she was always a low key spy for Thomas. She helped him achieve his goal on making the  U tied states became a large and powerful nation.She helped her kind , the  Indians . In the book it says that she never gave up on them, she never left to see her family even though she hadn't seem them in a long time. She was an up stander , she helped Thomas Jeffferson achieve a goal  that helped the united states and her self.
