Protest has long been a reaction by people when they feel as if something wrong is being done towards them or people they care about. In the article titled “It was like a fever” written by Francesca Polletta they talk about various protest through time but, one seems to stick out in particular and that is the sit-ins done by college students in Greensboro, North Carolina. In the article they talk about this one so heavily because they say it was unplanned and “it was like a fever everyone wanted to go” this quote was so interesting because of their word choice. When comparing a protest to a fever you truly see the unspoken drive that these people had behind them.…

I just wrote what I thought that I could remember.…

Title: Virals Author: Kathy Reichs Text type: Novel Name: Sharon Louie I admired the character Victoria Brennan in the novel Virals written by Kathy Reichs because Victoria was a brave character who showed she was willing to risk her life to save others “I’m getting Coop out of here”. Victoria reminds me there is always someone who will put others first rather than themselves in this world. An example of when Victoria was brave was when she decided to save Coop stuck in a ten feet pit by abseiling down with the vines as a harness knowing she could injure herself while doing so. “I dropped to my stomach, grabbed a ropey vine, swung my legs over the rim of the shaft, and braced my feet against the wall.…

This letter may come as a surprise to you since it is being sent out so early, but Easter is drawing near and the class thought that it would be good to write our buddies before the Holiday. Although since we are also sending out an Easter card to accompany these letters, they may be a little shorter than usual. Anyways, I hope this letter finds you good health, even though we were recently made aware that you were feeling a little under the weather. As you may have remembered, the last time I wrote you I mentioned an event by the name of careers and manners. I would love to tell you about that, but unfortunately I was feeling a little under the weather myself and had to leave school before the event began.…
The Outsiders P.O.V. I was so worried and frustrated with Ponyboy not coming home on time. I had the porch light on and hopefully waiting Ponyboy will come back. I was the only one awake Sodapop was stretched out on the sofa sound asleep. But I was just on the arm chair under the lamp reading the newspaper. I heard the door open softly and I looked up from my newspaper and I saw Ponyboy.…
Fever 1793 by Laurie Halas Anderson Do you think the characters/people and their problems/decisions/relationships are believable/realistic? Why or why not? I believe the book is believable, because the details show; that it is a common thing for nurses and doctors to do. The quote in the book, “After a few weeks of nursing the sick, and burying the dead.” (Anderson Page 176).…
I Bailey Jaggers was at the hospital with my dad, who had been shot, when I met Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry Curtis.

My dad is doing really bad and I don’t know how to deal with stuff like this. “I have a son of my own,” I tell the brothers, “ his name is Roman and my wife’s name is Kiana.”…
Despite the beauty of nature and the sunlight shining on my body, my -oh-my-god-i-need-to-buy-that-now- scent of my perfume had told the bugs of the trail a war request, and they accepted the request. I kept swinging my arms at the bugs trying to go for my face, but they got to my legs first. Then they started to crawl up my legs, almost to my pants. I kneel down and try to swing with all of my force at the mob of bugs and gnats. Luckily i got most of the bugs, but then the mosquitoes surprised attacked me and started sucking my blood from my arms.…
