4.30.14- Loyalists

2.) I'm probably most like Lord Dunmore, even though I wouldn't be a loyalist.

Loyalist: Hello, my fellow loyalist.

Me: Hello. Are you Lord Dunmore from Scotland?

Loyalist: I am indeed. My real name is John Murray from the royal Scottish family.

Me: Intriging. Why did you decide to come to the colony of Virginia?

Loyalist: In 1771, King George III appointed me for the royal governor. I couldn't very well reject his generous offer.

Me: Of course. What a honor.

Loyalist: Well, yes. But when I started my ruling time, a group that calls themselves the Patriots boycotted and rejected our fair rule.

Me: That is why I'm a loyalist. The British were so fair and protective over us. 

Loyalist: I agree entirely. If they spend too much time biting the hands that feed them, they'll end up with nothing, or death.

Me: I'm glad someone can see sense. They are traitors, plain and simple. I must bid you farewell.

Loyalist: Goodbye.

We didn't finish in time.

4.28.14- A Short Play

A play about chapter 11. I did it myself because Lydia left early (doctors appointment)

Characters

Loyalist

Patriot

Neutral colonist

Setting: American colonies in a courtroom

Situation: The neutral colonist has to support the Patriots or Loyalists.

In a courtroom

Neutral: I don't want to have a side. If I do, it'll create drama and I just don't know. Why should I choose a side?

Loyalists: Well, remember that the British did everything for you. You wouldn't be here without them. You own something to them, and you should pay it back now.

Patriots: but it's your life. Yes, the British were extremely generous and caring, but if you aren't happy, then it's not your job to fill someone's happiness.

Neutral: Maybe I do owe them something..

Patriot: But at this point they aren't the caring, kind British rulers that you met in the beginning of the colonies. 

Loyalists: in the end, it's up to you. But the loyalists will benefit from all this, and the patriots might die.

Patriots: give me liberty or give me death.

Neutral: I have a decision to make.

(Spoiler: they choose patriots. :) )

4.25.14- AHW

can I just start with TGIF because I think we all needed to say that.

We just finished another criterion test, which we take a lot tbh. I'm doing my AHW because I have time and I already finished the test. Oh we got new seats too I sit next to Marc and Sam which is okay for a seat but I sit on the inside of the circle area, which isn't that great of a seat. 

I'Yana's getting a call home and I have to do something at the end so cue hsm 

we're all in this togetherrrr 💃

This emoji actually looks like it's from hsm like okayy?¿? 💃💃

It's been 6 minutes but I have nothing left to do so let's keep the update. mrs. p keeps looking at me and I wanna ask if she'll stop staring when I'm not looking but maybe that'd be rude or she'd deny deny deny ✋

I have no more updates but it's 8:58 and idk what I'm doing next

Hopefully writing the test and this pays off because this week it seems like nothing is

well bye

Dear Mr. Mark Morawski,

My name is Helen and I have discovered a problem at my school, BCS.

 

The girls locker rooms are terrible quality and standard for the expected level that BCS offers. That makes it difficult and unsafe in the locker rooms.

Girls in the locker rooms can slip and fall due to the poor upkeep. In January 2014, a girl in my swim class fell and hit her head extremely hard. She had a concussion scare, and this has happened many times before to my friends and myself. Also, as of writing this letter, a dryer in the locker room has open buttons and the spring and heat is out in the open, which could injure someone terribly.

If this continues, people could get seriously injured, as they/I have before. It's not safe, and it could strongly negatively affect someone. 

As a solution, we should get new, improved dryers in the place of our current bad quality ones.

 We should also put a safety waterproof mat to cover the floor so less people fall and hurt themselves.  We could also improve the shower heads and shower area, as it is unsafe and bad quality.

If we change these problems, not only would it be safer, but more people would come to BCS for the pool and locker rooms.

Overall, the girls locker rooms at Covington should be improved for our safety and others.

Sincerely,

Helen D
