The Watsons go to Birmingham 1963 5 entires

September 15,1963

It was a real bad day for must people. I woke up late but I had enough time to say good bye to Joey before she had left for Sunday School. I was hungry when I woke up also. I went to the kitchen to get a bowl of cereal. After I went outside a sat next to the big in the back Momma came and sat next to me until we heard a rumbled noise come from the front. I first I thought it was a thunder storm or something. And Dad thought it was Byron doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing. But it was wasn't

Until a man past and said it was a bombing on 16th street Baptist Church were Joey was. Momma and Dad ran there to see if anybody either got hurt or died. It took us a while to find Joey then people started coming out last there was a man that came out with something red on him it look like paint but it was blood. Then another man came out with a little girl that was wearing a blue dress. And he sat her next to another little girl that was wearing a red dress in the grass.


When I was standing by the door I saw a shinny, shinny black shoe. Like the shoes Joey had on so I pulled and pulled. Then the shoe came off and you could see a white sock I grabbed her because then I saw a man with square shoulders. And I thought "The Wool Pool" so I left.I thought if I would have got Joey of the building myself I could have sat her next to the to other girls so it would make them look like The American Flag. When I did I turned around and I didn't look back and went on my way to Grandma Sands house.

Chapter 5 reading Response

1. A word to describe Mrs.Watson is serious. For Example when Byron's lips got stuck to the windshield she said "what about hot water" because she really cared about his lips being stuck to the windshield and she didn't just want to pull him off like that. While Mr.Watson was just laughing.

2. A word to describe Mr.Watson is funny. Because when everybody was in the house he said "

3. Not much. Because Mr.Watson is funny. I think he would make a good dad if he wasn't so funny most of the time. So sometimes he should be serious with most things.And Mrs.Watson is likely always serious about things. For example when she found out Byron was still playing with matches she said she was going to burn him.pg.64

4. If I was Mrs.Watson I would have put him on punishment until he forgot there was a such thing called fire and I would be checking on him every second to make sure he wasn't doing something he wasn't suppose to be doing.

Why we shouldn't wear uniforms

I disagree with President Clinton's speech. Forcing students to wear uniforms is unfair, and it is also untrue that allowing student's to wear their own clothes creates violence and stops schools from teaching good values and citizenship. Uniforms don't solve the problems their supporters say they solve.

First, of all school uniforms won't stop inequality. Violence can still happen with the uniforms on or off. And students will still find a way to compare their clothes. It may be the jackets they wear to school or the sneakers they wear in gym class, but students will find a way to compete while wearing the uniforms. Uniforms really don't stop peer pressure.

For example, in "Say no to school uniforms" a girl said she thinks uniforms is good and a boy said he thinks school uniforms is bad.But in " First Impression" Patrice had a boring look so Shawna thought it was time to change her look because she was not going to meet new people. But Patrice didn't want to because if she change her look people wouldn't know her as her they will know her as somebody else.Also in "Say no to school uniforms"a girl said she like to express herself by wearing a T-shirt with her favorite band on it, jeans with sneakers and "No" socks. That's just her style.

If I was Patrice I wouldn't want to change my look either because than if I meet knew people they wouldn't know me has me they will know me has somebody else.I think we shouldn't wear school uniforms because I think we should be able to express yourself.Do you have a style?
