Washington D.C., My Favorite Place

          My favorite place is Washington D.C. I was born on the border of D.C. and Virginia. My whole childhood I was only 5 minutes away from the capitol of the nation. It is an amazing place where a lot of history has taken place. It's where our laws are created and passed, where our highest court is, and the most incredible museums are located.

          Another reason why I love it so much is that all my childhood friends are there. I keep in contact with them all the time and I have gone back home every year for the past 4 years. I went twice this past year and its always a blast to be with old friends and go visit old places that meant so much to me as a child. I one day hope to live there for at least a little bit because I loved it so much.

    Wow, Mohammad, how great that you got to visit all the sites of Washington... and that you have an excuse to keep going back! Fabulous! Someday I would love to go to the Smithsonian. I have been to many of the other museums and galleries, but not the Smithsonian. Although I share lots of stuff from the Smithsonian in the materials for this class because of all the images they share online! :-)

I decided to change the title of one of my stories to try and draw some attention of the readers and also wanted the title to match the story more.  At the beginning of time there was one tribe of Native Americans that lived in the Mississippi Valley. They had no contact with other tribes but knew they were out there. The only way they were able to survive was because the animals in the forest would come and help them. Some would bring vegetables so that the tribe could eat while others would bring other dead animals so that the Native Americans could use them. Whenever the tribe received an animal they would respect it by praying first and then use the entire animal. They wouldn't disrespect the animal by not using all the parts. They believed that since the other animals were bringing them the dead animals the least they could do was to respect the animals that brought them. One day an animal brought a plant to the tribe and placed it near the fire pit. One of the Native Am...

Reading Notes "The Man in the Moon" Part B

The Man in the Moon   by Katherine Neville Fleeson This story was very interesting to me. It started off with someone complaining about being a blacksmith and they wanted to do something else. Then when he gets changed into the stone he doesn't like that because it hurts him when he is cut. It keeps going on and on because he can't decide what life he wants until he chooses the moon because he thinks it looks cool. He finds out that it is a really hot place then begs to be changed into the very first thing he was but is not allowed to. There is a strong message behind this story in my eyes. It's what makes the story great because it's saying that what you are in the first thing might be the thing you like the most and don't think other things are better just by looking at them. The man is still stuck as the Moon. Source I like how it didn't say that the wise man was God but he was just a person who controlled everything. I think that adds more descripti...
