Under The Rug

Under The Rug

One day in a beautiful forest called Seneca State Forest, located in West Virginia there was a big cabin with a wonderful family. There was a old man named Bob and his mom named Mom. Sometimes they go fishing at the river with their friends or go hiking with their brothers and sisters. But… all that fun and excitement will go down the drain on this trip.

One morning in the cabin Bob was really tired from the hike they had yesterday. So he was still sleeping.

“Bob” said Mom.

“What” said Bob.

“Time to eat breakfast” said Mom.

“5 more minutes” said Bob in a tired voice.

“OK but don’t blame me if your pancakes gets cold” said Mom.

Bob ignored her and went back to sleep. He was sleeping for 20 minutes and when he went down stair. Suddenly Bob heard a scream.

“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!” said Mom.

“What happened” said Bob.

“It the Demon Rat AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH” screamed Mom.

The Demon Rat is a small black rat that spits venom and he scratches you with his big nasty claws.

“Hissss” said the Demon Rat.

Bob immediately grabbed Mom’s arm and ran out the door to the camp fire.

When they got there Bob said “What happened how did the Demon rat get in there.”

“Well I was cutting some cheese for lunch then Demon rat crashed through the window.” said Mom trembling

“I’m going to see if the cost is clear okay” said Bob

“Okay” said Mom

Bob slowly went in the house and saw the Demon rat going under the rug. He got a mug and threw it at the Demon rat but he missed “Crash” the mug was so loud that it scared the Demon rat and ran out the window. Mom came in she said “Is it gone” and gave Bob a big hug. Everything has normal from then, but two weeks passed and it happened again. The Demon rat was in the house searching for cheese. Bob was coming down the stairs and he saw the Demon rat. When the Demon rat saw Bob the rat went under the rug. Bob got so angry that he grabbed a chair and smashed it on the Demon rat he smashed it so hard that it crushed all its bones.

“What happened?” cried Mom.

“I killed the Demon rat!” said Bob.

“It came back?!” said Mom.

“You deserve some pancakes” said Mom.

“Yay!” said Bob.

Civil Right Movement

The Importance of Civil Right Movement

By: Joshua Chavez

 

The Civil Rights movement started in the 1950’s, Before the Civil rights black people weren’t treated equally and segregation in schools forced colored people out of white people school.

 

Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr was a great man but was arrested many times. He was born in Atlanta, GA. He was educated in Booker T.
Washington High School. When he speaks it sounds like he runs the country. Before he became famous he was a pastor at a church. In August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr was on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial giving his famous “I have a Dream” speech at the end of the movement. About 200,000 people went to see Martin Luther King Jr give his speech. He influenced African Americans all over the USA to join him in peaceful marches and protests.

 

Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks was a brave woman that became an icon for the Civil Rights movement. She was born in Tuskegee, AL. She was coming back home from work. She was getting on the bus and found a seat then a few minutes later, a white passenger came. She wouldn’t give up her bus seat to the white passenger. So she was arrested because she didn’t give up her seat, it was the law back then. Then when she was released from prison she was the leader of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Little Rock Nine

The little rock nine are nine brave black students that wanted to go to the high school near their homes.  On September 24, 1957 the nine students go to Central High School which is only for white people only and the Little Rock Nine are black. At first they weren’t allowed to go to that school because the Governor of Arkansas and white people near the school.  Segregation had ended so they were allowed to go any school they wanted. They ended getting into school because they were guarded by US soldiers sent by President Eisenhower.  The Little Rock 9 were picked on by white students.  One was even burned by her classmates, but they never gave up and kept coming back to school.

 

As a result of the Civil Right movement Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and The Little Rock Nine all changed the rules of the USA. They all showed the country that there was no reason to treat other people differently because they are human beings and should be treated equally.
