Homework #43
This is the part when Mrs.Jewls asked the kids to write poems that rhyme with their favorite color.This character reminds me of somebody I know because she gets her way and then she doesn't know what to do with that thing.This refers to Alison. She wanted the color purple but so did Rondi.
Alison said purple was her favorite in the whole world,so Rondi swithed to blue and Alison got purple.Purple doesn't rhyme with any word.Blue rhymes with alot of words like glue or zoo but Alison was thinking of so many words to go with blue out loud that she didn't put anything on paper.She only put her name and the title of her poem.Alison didn't do anything.

Homework #40
The book I'm reading is called Wayside School Gets A Little Stanger. I like that there's 30 fl0or's in the school, but there is no 19th floor. That's kind of weird beause they say that Ms. Zarves teaches on the nineteenth floor, but since there is no nineteenth floor there is no Ms. Zarves. So there's really only 29 floor's, right.
Dameon reminds me of someone because he's like a techer's pet. He does favor's for Ms. Jewls, like when he was running up the stairs going to her lass on the 30th floor. When he got there he was tired, but Ms. Jewls asked him to go get her pencil from the office down stairs. He got up and went back down the steps just for his favorite teacher.
Dameon is like Geronimo from Geronimo Stilton books because Geronimo is like a teacher's pet,but instead he's a boss's pet. He always does favor's for his boss even though he doesn't have to like when he was working on the newspaper and his boss asked him to go get him lunch. So Geronimo got up and went to get his lunch because that was his favorite boss in the whole mouse land.
I like this writing because it's a comedy and a type of mystery because it's funny and it makes you wonder what's going to happen to the school like when Louis was finishing the school. He heard a loud "moo". There was a cow in the school. Louis didn't know how it got there. He didn't even know where it was.
This book makes me think about what my life would be like if my school had 30 floors and no elevator, or what it would be like to hear a cow but not know where it is. It also makes me think about how lucky I am to not be sent to a horrible school like those other kids and not see my friends any more.

African Burial Ground Essay
The African Burial Ground is an 18th century African Cemetery where slaves were buried.They built a building over it.They also excavated the bodies and made sculptures of how their bodies look like when they found them.
Slavery ended in New York in the late 1700's.As New Amsterdam grew,so did the demand for slaves.The first slave auction in New Amsterdam was in 1655.The people who bought slaves were Dutch people.They ruled New Amsterdam.
The African Burial Ground connects to this because most slaves that were buried under the building because after they dug the bodies up,they put their remains back in little boxes.Those are called crypts.
Blacks had the role of slaves.They had to serve the Dutch by cleaning their house and picking cotton.They also got whipped because they disobeyed their master.If they really didn't listen,they would either get shot or hung.To get hung is to have a rope tied around your neck and have the other half tied to a tree branch.
