Literary Response

This is why I think the theme of Out of my Mind is never give up.To start with,Melody is getting ready to show what she is made of.On pg.152 it says “The only person who got every single question right is…Melody Brooks.”2 She is finding out being herself is fun.On pg.99 it says.”finally a girl got up out of her seat and walked over to my chair.She squatted down and looked me directly in the face,and smiled.I inhaled deeply and slowly and pointed on my board to thank you.Rose seemed to understand.She is doing what everybody else is doing.On pg.90 it says this.”But these classes were supposed to give kids like me a chance to interact with each other.That’s how I think the theme never give up is expressed.

What I Like About Sharon Draper’s Writing

There are many decisions that I like about Sharon Draper’s writing.She’s humorous.”They’d start a he walked up the stairs.Step,fart.Step,fart.Step,fart. Her descriptive language creates imagery. “When people looked at me,I guess they see a girl with short,dark,curly hair strapped into a pink wheelchair.” She has good use of vocabulary.”These things-I call them “tornado explosions”-are pieces of me.”These are the things that make Sharon Draper a great writer.

Child Labor

I think should not have to work. I didn’t know that kids had to work for companies that is sad because some of the kids lost a body part.They also had to give up all of their money for rent,a lot of the boys worked at the boys worked at a coal place, some of the boys got sucked in and suffered and when they were twelve they went to work in a coal mine.Many of them died from the top of the mine.The girls worked in mill factory’s and got their hand broken in the machine. That’s what I think about child labor.

The Judicial Branch

I want to be a part of the Judicial Branch because you get to learn something new everyday and you get to tell what a law is about and because you have the same power as the Executive Branch and the Legislative branch,you also get to meet the President.I would also get to explain the constitution I would also get to stay as long as I want, also I would be part of the highest court in the land.The supreme courts laws cannot be questioned, in other words nobody can change it,also no other court can change it. The supreme court sets precedents-new ways to interpreting laws.

Hessian’s is a term for 30000 German soldiers hired by the British. They were mainly out of a German country called Hesse-Cassel, German states also saw action in America.

Hesse-Cassel took in an amount equal to about 13 years worth of tax revenue.Military needs dominated the country.

Life in the Hessian army was harsh,and punishments were brutal.Officers are well educated,and promotion was by merit.There was a promise of gold.

3000 Hessian’s decided to make America their new home after war,and the Hessian’s did not want to go back to Europe.

Around Christmas time they shared a Christmas drink,with their former foes.
