Progress In Science Class

♥ So in the beginning of the semester I was not doing do good in Science. Science is by far one of my worse subjects. I was not really interested in the subject so I failed to complete my assignments which resulted in a grade of a low "C" {Unacceptable}. So I began to make a chance in my behavior. I began to do all my work. Participation in class began to increase. Now I'm fully focused and my current grade is between believe a "B+" and a "A-". I'm so proud of my Progress in Science Class. ♥

NHD Revelation

My NHD project was about Welfare rights. I learned a lot of new things about welfare. The Welfare system was once very easy to abuse but changes in the system made it more difficult to abuse. I personally think that welfare is a very helpful program and it is very beneficial. I think that doing a documentary was easy once we got all the information together. Overall I think That the project was not as dificult as i thought

By:Shaniya Pryer


♥Frederick Douglass is the father of the American Civil Rights Movement. He was born on a farm in Tuckahoe, Maryland. Frederick Douglass became an orator, writer, statesman and diplomat. Frederick wrote three books about his life. "The Narrative" was about his early life. "my bondage and My freedom talked about his achievements after joining the abolitionist in 1841 and "Life and times of Frederick Douglass talked about the events of his career before and after the Civil War.

♥Frederick Douglass was a hard working person. He worked as a house servant and a laborer. He worked in a shipyard as general assistant, an apprentice and a caulker. He was always very busy. Even at the age of 7 he had baby sitting job. Douglass taught himself to right with little help from his owners wife Sophia. He copied letters written on lumber.

♥He wrote three books about his life. His issue of the Douglass's Monthly , his proposition and the support among the radical Republicans in Congress helped free the slaves. Congress banned slavery in the District of Columbia in April, federal territories in June and in September 1862 the president announced that on January 1, 1863 he would issue a proclamation freeing slaves.

Controversy In Huckleberry Finn

Should parents be allowed to hit their children?
Parents think that every time a child does something they are suppose to get hit for it. Well in my opinion I think that they should be allowed to hit their child but I also think that they shouldn't be able to hit their child. Three reasons why I think parents should be able to hit their children are: 1 children need discipline, 2. Children should know who's in control, and 3. If a parent beats a child for something wrong they tend to do better and be more respectable. Three reasons why I think parents should not be allowed to hit their children are: 1. It’s child abuse, 2. Sometime parents tend to take it out of proportion and 3. It may cause a child to dislike their parent.
Children need discipline. If a child is doing something wrong or did something wrong then they should be punished for it. If they don't understand right from wrong then they will continue to do wrong. I think children should know who's in control. If a child constantly gets smart with someone or get away with saying or doing something wrong then pretty soon they won't respect anybody. Children should always respect their elders no matter what the situation is. When a child gets a beating for something they did wrong they wouldn't be very smart if they did the same thing and got hit again. So when a child gets hit for something they did wrong they won't do t again and they will probably be more respectable.
IDon’t think that a parent should be able to hit their child because it's abuse. When parents hit their children they sometimes tend to leave bruises. If someone gets hit hard enough for him or her to bruise then that’s abuse. Sometimes parents tend to take it out of proportion. If a parent is angry and then the child is doing something wrong if they hit them they may take all their anger out on the child just because they have that opportunity. Hitting a child may cause them to dislike their parents. If a parent constantly hits a child then the child may not like them no more.
so I think that parents should be able to hit their child but only to a certain extent
