That A Girl

In the story That A Girl it took place in 1931.Hazel’s dad had trouble finding work because of The Great Depression.The real people in the story was Babe Ruth, Jackie Mitchell, and Lou Gehrig. I learned that Babe Ruth was striked out by a girl, also Babe Ruth was a legend. Timmy Olgethorpe only had a nickel to spend at the game. It would’nt be enough money today if it was it would be like five dollars or more. The time period affects the way Timmy and his friends talk about Hazel but today it would be different.

What I learned about taxes

I learned that taxes weren’t easy to pay. Great Britain had to borrow large sums of money to fight the war. The Stamp Act made a lot of colonists mad. Colonists protest the Stamp Act. Everytime someone bought a printed piece of material, he or she had to buy a stamp to prove that they paid their taxes. Parliament thought  this way would be a good idea to pay off their war debts.

Finding Martin Luther King Jr

2014 and 2015

In 2014, New Years Day we went to Sulphur Springs to my grandmas. First we would eat lunch then go to open presents. The food was really good. Also I was eager to open presents from grandma. I was all finished so we went over there, when I was on my way grandma asked me to sort all of the presents to all of the family. When I  was all finished I went to go open my presents. I got chocolate, cookies, and corn cob holders. After we were all finished we played a game grandma said the rules were if you roll equal numbers on the two dice you could take a present off the table,And when all of the presents were out you could steal someones present. I won three times, but then Kevin stole mine so then I had two.When we were all finished, my mom said we could go home.

In 2015, I hope we get to go to Orlando,Florida in the summer. Also they’ve got really tall buildings, a sidewalk you can ride your bike on, a beach, and when it’s dark all of the lights will light up. I also really hope my best friend comes to. I really hope we go.
