James Longstreet

Reflections of the Killer Angels In my readings of The Killer Angels, I came to love Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. His thoughts and actions I feel resemble what I would hope would be my actions in a war. He is forced to make some pretty clear moral decisions. He shows complete and utter loyalty to the Union and fights with bravery and courage the entirety of the Civil War. Throughout the novel, my thoughts were drawn again and again to the events of the first day, when Colonel…

Character I would like to talk about in the book is general James Longstreet who I think he is a very good man. General Longstreet become Lee second in command right after Lee lost his right hand man who was Stonewall Jackson in the battle of Chancellorsville. Stonewall Jackson was killed by his own men during the battle and the Confederate still won that battle. General Lee may have won the battle but the price is at a high cost. I think Longstreet is the type of general any army need because…

facing the tree looking beyond into the black abyss and twinkling lights. I pull out my grandpas fly fishing book like I do every year. I read the cover, “ The Complete Angler” by James Prosek. Every year I can never seem to finish the book but I get closer every year. This time I skip ahead to where I stopped last year. James Waldon’s trip through the Scottish country side looking for a rare species of native trout. The book is way ahead of my level but my level of fishing knowledge is there to…

stomach growled so loud it sounded like a gorilla. I had just gotten back from mathematics, and I won the championship. For some reason I felt weird inside almost like I was scared. A random face comes up to me and asks ‘’did you win your math thing James’’. I said ‘’yeah in unusual way. For a second I thought he joking or something. As I walked to the cafeteria I feel very weird inside almost like I have butterflies in my stomach. Out of no were I see a kid fly like super man straight across…

-6- On Monday, I go to my first day of summer school. When I arrive, there is my old teacher, Mr. James. I say, “Hello, Mr. James! Lucky day! Guess what? It’s me! Francisco!” Mr. James says, “Yes, I see that. Please sit down. It’s time for our very first test. You did do the pre-reading, right?” I say, “I did not do the pre-reading. Or the reading. Or the post reading. I did not do any reading at all because it is summer and that is just wrong.” He says, “Well. Here’s your test. It is…

counting down the minutes. At 12:50 on the dot, I heard muffled noises outside my window. I sat up and looked outside. There was James and his horse and carriage. At that moment, I grabbed and put on my coat and boots. He was driving one of my favorite holiday carriage and horse called Dale. They decorated the carriage with assorted ornaments and lights. As James became closer, I got excited.…

Rasta Man’s Cousin And Another Dream One day when I went out to get something to eat, I bumped into Rasta Man’s cousin. She told me that he had been asking about me and she asked if I wanted his number. I told her no. She was like girl, you better go ahead and get that money. I told her again no thanks. She was like I’m gonna tell him you acting funny. I just smiled and walked away. Weeks later after encountering Rasta Man’s cousin, I had a dream. I was awakened out of my…

Mrs. French, I hope you are feeling well today. I am sending this report by email as my handwriting is very hard to read. The first block class was very loud. I asked the students to talk quietly with their partners as they worked. Several students would converse loudly to others across the room regarding matters unrelated to the assignment.I began putting a check by the students name when I had to remind them to refrain from talking loud and from talking about issues unrelated to their math…
