The Life and Times of Someone Named Clark

It is finally time for the long awaited block party. The one day of the year you can ride your bike in the street, according to my parents. The one day you play block long basketball. So its noon on the first block party i have ever been at on my new block. I'm thinking woohoo i get to stay out and play some games, go in the jumping jack and do anything i really want. So the day started out like any normal block party would, me on the jumping jack. I loved the jumping jack, the endless back flips and the "fights". After getting out of the jumping jack, i went to go eat at my house with some of my friends. After we ate, we went back outside and had races on our bikes for the rest of the night.
Soon it is nightfall and we begin going inside because you can not see the holes in the street at night. As we start going into my friends house to play some games, we realize that we can still play outside without bikes! so we head back upstairs and go outside to see a crowd of people at the end of the block. Being our curious selves we go to investigate.
We got to the end of the block and see to men, one of the my friend's dad the other someone i did not know, hitting each other with foldable chairs. so as they are fighting it out with their wooden chairs some parents see us and decide that this was to violent and we had to go back in. We put up a valiant fight but we had to go in.

Black Boy

From the first chapter we can tell there is obviously something wrong with this family. First off Richard, the main character, is always afraid. He is always afraid of getting beat and afraid of the consequnces of everything. Then his father left his family and he started to dread even thinking about him. Then he gets shopped of into the orphanage, which did not help him at all. In the long term it damaged him even more. Then at the end of the chapter he talks about how he met his father 25 years later. And how his father would never understand him.

MLK IS A DAY

Martin Luther King jr. was a leader. A leader for all people. He showed us all how to lead and become accepted. from the first day he began his peaceful protesting to the day he was assasinated. He has made it possible to have equal rights even after he is gone. When he was growing up everything was seggregated. from schoolsto church, to water fountains. I think that King is still a King. i think this because he started the roots for all the change that is now. There are equal rights for all people and everyone can lead a pursuit of happiness.
