One thing I am good at is basketball.I feel happy when I do this because it is something I enjoy and i am good at.I would feel horrible if someone would forbid me from doing it.

Boy of the Painted Cave One problem that he has is that he wants to paint animals but it is a taboo for everyone execpt special people.A resolution might be that htey see him paint and it might be so good that they let him paint.Another problem is that the whole clan is starving because there is nothing for them to hunt.The resolution might be that alot of animals might come in spring and then they will have stuff to eat. Chapter 2 On important thing that happened was that the boy helped the fox eat again.Another important thing that happened was he went into the swamp even when he thought there were evil spirits lived there. Chapter 3 Tao and Ram learned how to hunt together.The decion Tao tells Volt is that he can hunt alone so he does not want to hunt with everyone else.Also he said that they should hunt with wolf dogs so they could catch more food. I am Volt mighty leader of this clan.Young Tao is foolish.He is the reason why the clan is starving.He is the reason why we are starving.He does not hunt well.He is foolish enough to come and say that he does not need us to hunt.Then he has the nerve to curse us by saying we need the help of the evil wolf dogs so we dont starve.If we were to side to side with them the spirits would be angry with us.I will make the right decion and ban him before his foolishness kills us all. Chapter 8 paragrph One day a boy got a scholorship to go to the best school in England.He was so happy that he scholorship that he forgot he promised his dad he woud take over the family buisness.The probem was that he did not want to have a resturant.He could not decide run away and do what he really wants to do. I think he should leave because when he comes back he will be able to get a really good job so he can make the resturaunt even better. Chapter9 Graybeard changed his mind because Tao pointed out that Graybeard did not believe in taboos. What this shows is that he really does want to show Tao how to draw because someday he might want a succeser. Chapter11 I think Graybeard is a good teacher because Tao felt like the way Graybeard showed him was alot easier then the way he was doing it.Yes i would like to be taught by him because he is the best of the best. The Giver Chapter1 "The Ceromony of Twelve,"she wispered in a awed vioce. I picked this sentance because it brings questions.One for example is what is so important about the Ceromony.Why is he so nervus.We can also ask ourselves if this ceromony is tradition or is this the first time they are doing it.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheniox 4/9/07 "On the whole, Harry thought he was to be congratulated on his idea of hiding here." I picked this quote because I wanted to find ot why Harry was hiding from his aunt and uncle just to listen to the news.Also it was a little bit of suspense because what would his uncle do if he found Harry 4/10/07 "Remember my last last Petunia." I picked this quote because I wanted to know who sent the note. Also what they ment by remember my last. I also wanted to know if it had anythin to do with Harry. 4/11/07 "Professor Moody,"he said uncertainly. I picked this qoute because at first I thouht it was the person from the triwizard tournement comin to finish the job.Then I remembered that he went to Azkaban.Then I wondered if the real Mad-Eye Moody came to save Harry to his friend Ron's House. A lot of different things were going throuh my head and it was a little scary at first. 4/12/07 "He's just arrived,the meeting's started...." I picked this quote I wanted to know what was happening. What meeting. Why was all of this happenin at night did have to with Lord Voldemort. Was anybody going to tell Harry what is going on and where he is. Han Dynasty Report on Government

The Han Dynasty was a very good era for China. The emperors made pretty good achievements. They also changed their way of government so the people could benefit, and be happy. I will also talk abut the Han Dynasty was first created. It is all very interesting. The emperors all had good achievements. The greatest achievement was by Lui Bang. I say it is the greatest achievement because he started the Han. The emperor Han Wudi put them in its golden age. He made improvements in the government and agriculture. He also had a great increase in population. He increased it from 40 million to 60 million. A 20 million increase. The government was changed during the Han dynasty. The government officials were hired on a different basis. They used to be hired by their social status. The government made them take a Civil service exam. A legend says that the test took several days, and that guards would be in the room to stop cheating. If you past the test you would be stationed in a different city because they did not want an officer giving out special favors to friends and family. Every couple of years the officers would be evaluated. If they did well they would be promoted. If they did bad they would demoted. The government during the Han Dynasty was bureaucracy. Bureaucracy is like a pyramid. The people higher would command the people lower than them. The system was used for 2000years. In the government they started to use Confucian’s ideas. They started the people better. During the Han Dynasty emperors made good achievements. They government got better than it was. We still use their government today. What do you thing about their dynasty?
