Title: The Great Migration
Section: Education
In the story selection, African Americans had it very hard for their children to be able to get an education. The African Americans had to go to separate schools from the whites and their schools were very poor. The parents really wanted to get their kids an good education but because back then things weren’t like what they where suppose to be. Most of the African Americans a very little education. During this time the parents had needed to work on farms at the busy time of year, even the younger siblings had to work. Some of the text books at the schools that they went to were old and out of date, the teachers were poorly trained. The thing I learned was that African Americans seem to not have very much things going for them and that they was poorly taken care of in education and they made children work. The interesting thing that I liked was that at least they had tried to give them a little education but they could have did much better even though things wasn’t the same back then. I feel that nobody should not have to suffer for and good education and hat children shouldn’t have to work because that its what their parents is for.

Title:1001 Facts About The Human Body
Today I read about the bones & teeth, and other facts about the human body. I read that the femur (thigh bone) is the biggest bone in the body, the smallest bone in the body is in the ear and it is called stapes. I also read that our bones & teeth count for one-sixth of our total body weight. When babies are born they have about 350 bones, adults have 206 bones. A lot of people believe that men and women have the same number of ribs. One interesting fact I learned is that the human skull has several holes in it at its base were all the vital structures connect with the brain.

- Chicken soup for the teenage soul.
- Detention can be fun
- There was this boy named Ennis. One day he got a detention at school. When he got home he told his dad that detention was really fun. When he heard this his dad got really confused. He told his son “I thought they gave them to you for punishment.” the son told his dad that its nothing bad maybe in the middle ages it was but not any more. He told his dad that the really cool thing was that a couple was in detention. The girl wrote a love letter to the guy but then the teacher caught them. So the guy did something really nice and told the teacher that he wrote the letter to himself. He also said that detention was a really great place to do your homework.
I think that this story is really weird. I don’t know what type of kid will like to go to detention.
One interesting fact about this is that instead of hating detention and never wanting to go back he liked it and wants to go back.

Book Title: Chicken Soup for the Soul
Title: True Love
Today I read a story that had to do with the topic of true love. Moses Mendelssohn, grandfather of famously known German compose, was far beyond good looking. As he came upon a day where he went to visit a merchant in Hamburg. The merchant had a lovely daughter by the name of Frumtje. To Moses it was love at first sight, like something destiny had brought forward to him. But that beautiful young lady hesitated to look at poor Moses, who was deeply in love with her. As the day came where Moses to leave back home, he took the last chance to speak to her. He went into her room and as he walked in, he went to stand besides her. As he stood there trying to come up with something to say so that Frumtje was conversate back. He spoke to her and said, “ Do you believe marriages are made in heave?” “Yes,” Frumtje answered back, “ And do you?” she asked. “Yes I do,: he said back. Then he began to talk again, “ You see, in heaven at the birth of each boy, the Lord announces which girl he will marry. When I was born, my future bride was pointed out to me. Then the Lord added, ‘But your wife will be humpbacked.’ “Right then and there I called out, ‘Oh lord, a humpbacked woman would be a tragedy. Please, Lord, give me the hump and let her be beautiful.’ ” As he finished what he had to say Frumtje looked up into his eyes, for her heart was stirred into some deep memory. While she was looking into his eyes she reached out her hand to hold his then as time past they united and she committed to be his wife.

It never occurred to him until he moved the two children to their resting place in the Bahariya Museum that the so-called curse of the Mummies existed. The idea of a curse connected with mummies has been around since the excavation of the tomb of Tutankhamun by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon,

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul
"Coffee-Shop Kindness"

The story I read today is about a young teen named Christine.Christine was in her senior year and she thought that having a job at a coffee shop would be easy,but she didn't know that there would be many people complaining either because the coffee had a lot of sugar or it didn't have as much as they wanted.Anyway Christine was really exhausted with the job,but she kept at it.One rainy day one of her regular costumers came and he looked depressed and defeated and Christine and her coworker asked what was wrong,the costumer wouldn't reveal any details.He was really sad and Christine knew how he felt so before he left she gave him his favorite doughnut and he thanked her and went out back into the rain.The next day was miserable again and a lot of people were using the drivethru window because of the rain,so she spent the afternoon giving people their orders.Around seven o'clock that evening she was in the middle of making another pot of vanilla when the costumer from the day before came.He drove up to the drivethru window and handed her a single pink rose and a note and told her that not too many take the time to care about others and he was glad that there were still people like her.After a minute she thanked him and he told her she was welcome and with a friendly wave he drove away.

I think this story was sad because people have lost hope.They have lost hope that there are still good people in this world and people they can trust in.Me myself have lost hope that there are good people in this world and I think people are just here to make my life miserable.

Hitler had racial ideas to collect skeletons and various body parts, such as the brain to prove that they were the advance race. They had already started testing people for their bones they had killed a lot of them already but they wanted to use them as their racial ideas by then they thought they would succeed. I also learned that the Nazis were racist to any one that wasn’t German.
