Japanese man is a double A-bomb survivor

In the story about the Japanese man who survived both A-bomb attacks. I think the story is very sad. Because of everyone dying. However that man was very lucky that he survived BOTH attacks.

Hiroshima

The story "Hiroshima" It was about a War. In the story it talks about a family; Hatsuyo, Toshio, Yaeko, and Myeko, and how they are in a city called Hiroshima. The City is being under attack and on the radio an at one point she decides not to do what the radio tells her because her children were very tired.

The Cat Years

I agree with the story "The Cat years". I think Children are like dogs and Teenagers are like cats. Because if you think about if think about it children most listen to their parents footstep and most dogs listen to their owners. Cats do most of their own things just like teenagers.

Blahhhh

In The Boston Massacre Trial it was about a a shooting that the british soldiers had with people on the streets. The fight all came with the soldiers walking by and the people on the street starting throwing things, hitting them with clubs and supposably dared them to shoot them. The trial was about who called the first shot and if the captain of the soldiers had told them to shoot and the whole story of it. In the trial the lawyer is getting many suggestions from his wife. They are many different story's to the trial. There is one such as that the Captain of the Soldier was standing behind the men and called them out to shoot before the first shot.

~~Liberty~~

I thought a very interesting part was when the British were sailing down the Hudson and the Champlain river to find out that they weren't even connected. That was very suprising to the British because they couldn't bring there ship with them. The British liked to fight face to face. The Americans hid behind trees and rocks. Anywhere that you could hide they were there.
