I would design a library that consists of both electronic and hard copy books, a movie lounge, and a sitting area with coffee, snacks, and free Wi-Fi. To borrow hard copy books you would go through the same process as done today, but to borrow electronic books you would simply sync to your tablet, such as an iPad. A good thing about this library is when a electronic book is due you don’t have to make a special trip in to return or renew. You simply push a button on your tablet and the job is done. However after renewing it five times it will automatically get erased from your tablet. Another good thing about this library is you would be able to hang out with your friends while enjoying any of the hard cover books available for reading. The movie lounge is also a fantastic place to review your movies before checking them out. Isn’t this a fantastic library? I hope you will enjoy it in the future.

Battle of Bannockburn
The Battle of Bannockburn took place in Scotland. The King in Scotland was Robert the Bruce and the King in England was named King Edward the II. Scotland was looking to regain independence from England.
Did you know that the Battle of Bannockburn lasted from June 13-14, 1314? Although the bloody battle was going on England and Scotland made a deal not to destroy or fight near the Sterling Castle.
I bet you are wondering who won. If you guessed Scotland then you are correct. After only one day of brutal battle Scotland managed to win the war and regain their independence from England. After the war the King of Scotland, Robert the Bruce, name got changed to Robert the I.

Where Does Prejudice Take Place?
I think that prejudice is everywhere in life whether the person is being genuine or rude. There is really no pacific where it can happen, so you must be ready for the worst in life.

JACKIE ROBINSON
It would be better to judge a player based on how good off a role model he is, but also how good of a player he is. It is better to be a good role model and an okay player than an excellent player and a horrible role model. The person who is the better role model and okay player would be likely to have more respect on and of the match, but the player that doesn’t know how to be a role model will have less respect both on and off the match.

IF MY NAME COULD BE ANYTHING........

If my name could be anything it would be the same because I really like my name and the way it sounds when other people say it. If I were to have a nickname I would name myself laugh, because I laugh a lot. Say something and I will laugh so hard I cry. Literally. Also you can call me allergic because I am allergic to almost everything and if a list a lot them it would be about for pages long. Here is a small example: peanuts, wheat, coconut, all types of nuts, cantaloupe, almonds, outs, most candy with artificial colors (I will just get a little bump that’s all). It would take two pages.

The Story of a New Hero 1.The Weird Dream
For Jake Taylor it was an ordinary day in bed drinking soup his mom made him, when waves of water came rushing from inside his bedroom. Then he got pulled inside of his bed and he met with Poseidon the god of water. For a god Poseidon looked very casual sitting on his throne with his trident. Poseidon said to Jake, ”I will gift you with my powers of controlling the sea and horses.” The only reason Poseidon did this was he was getting old and not very powerful. So with one great blow of his mouth Poseidon gave almost all his powers to Jake. Finally Jake woke up.
The next day Jake woke up and everything that he thought he dreamed he put it in his what he called a dream journal. When he finished recording it he went to the bathroom to get ready for school since it was Friday. When he turned on the pipe something strange happened, the water smelled like the ocean. “Weird,” he thought to himself. Jake went downstairs and said to his mom, “Hey mom, what’s for breakfast?” “Eggs and bacon,” replied Mrs. Taylor. When Jake finished eating he got dressed, brushed his teeth, grabbed his stuff, kissed his mom, ran out the door, and waited for the bus.
When he went on the bus, immediately after he sat down he started to sleep. Every day Jake has ridden the bus it always smells like the same thing, smelly socks wrapped in a hint of ginger. But this day was different. When he came off the bus, he went to his homeroom teacher, Mr. Gillinhage, he was from Germany. Jake sort of liked his school, Frank Lincoln Middle School, it was a decent school except for the bullies that always picked on him. Every day Jake came home with some sort of bruise put he never told his mom or his dad, his dad was always on business trips. All Jake thought about in his fifth period before lunch was his dream that he had. He was so much into his dream that he never raised his hand once even though Science was his favorite subject.
When Jake was ready for lunch he was in line waiting for “the grumpy, nasty, old witch” who would serve him food. When it was his turn the grumpy lunch woman said,” What would you like to eat? We have potatoes or rice with chicken today?” “I will have,” Jake said, “ Rice and chicken, please.” Even though he never liked the lunch lady he always kept his manners. Jake really didn’t have a friend so getting a table was pretty hard. After five minutes he found a seat and ate his lunch. “Eew, that is gross mashed potatoes,” someone else said.
He went out to recess. We went around the corner where he usually waits and played some video games. Before he knew it, his face was on the ground and three people were laughing at him. He got right up punched all three of them at the same time. After all the punches, and for some reason all of the sewage pipes burst and quarts of water spilled out and soaked the bullies. Jake sunk in the water and came up back breathing fine, he felt invincible and punched them again. In the end Jake was the only one that was not wet, but the rest of bullies were soaking wet. The funny thing is that no one ever noticed.

I would design a library so that if you have tablet namely an iPad then you could sync the book that you want on your iPad. When the book is due though you don’t have to walk to the library you will just get a e-mail saying that your book is due and you can renew or at mid night the next day it will get erased on the Ipad. You would also have a regular reading area that we have today. We also have a movie area that you can rent, watch, or get it on your Ipad.

Prejudice is when you have an option of liking two or more things, but you only like one of those things you are being prejudice to the things that you do not like. Prejudice is not being races it is just when you show more interest in one thing to another. That being said 99.1% of people are prejudice. I said to my dad that I liked Michael Jackson, but I did not like Smoky Robinson. I was being prejudice towards him. When you like an apple but hate pear you are being prejudice towards the pear. Even though it is an inanimate object. There are probably other definitions this is what my dad told me.
