Lockdown

I.

Personally I do not think that a child prison, like furnace, would never be in place, but this story takes place in the U.K. but I still think they wouldn't allow it. It would be like Orleans Parish Prison but for children. Let us not forget what goes on in a prison. Things such as rape, violence (even murder) and once you get accustomed to prison life it is hard to invert back to your normal life. Of course Furnace is a life sentence facility so inverting back will not be needed, and not to mention the cost of doing so.

II.

Honestly I probably couldn't have come up with a plan like they did, but situations arise: if if I was there I'd 

definitely go with it.

III.

Ya I would jump in the river even if it meant death, it'd definitely be better than Furnace.

IV.

 I plan on reading all 5 books. I do hope that they escape even if it is for a little bit.

I will be posting more as I read on



Comments.
but it is armed with men and mounted machine guns, you would have some sort of vanguard of people willing to die then use the lifeless bodies as a shield. man that would be messed up.

Well i'm not totally disagreeing with, but a place so far under ground that you have no sunlight. People get wrongly accused of crimes they didn't commit, and later they do get out. you know how messed up they would be?
Joseph I agree, children just shouldn't be put to go through that even if they did murder someone.

My Independent book choice

My first choice for my independent novel would be Lockdown: Escape from Furnace. I Chose this because it seems that it is the best by genre and the basic background of the book. I can't really say that I'm expecting anything out  of it because I'm not an avid reader, but there are a few good books I read out of my own volition.























Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children  Would have to be my second choice. I chose this because I didn't really like any of the others and this one's got pictures. 

"Andres I chose this book too, I hope it's good."

what should have happened in To Kill A Mocking Bird

Atticus was waiting for the verdict when all of the jury came out. They handed a slip of paper that made its way to the judge. "Guilty" exclaimed the judge. The verdict has been said and their wasn't any way to further debate Tom Robinson's sentence. "Were are they taking Mr.Robinson to Atticus" I remember  inquiring.
"Tom is going to Enfield Prison Farm his chances were slim to none."
"Why?"
"Because, we lost, the jury voted that Mr.Robinson was guilty."
"But Mr.Robinson couldn't have done it" Jem butted in.
"I know, sometimes we just have to accept it."
 With that I went to bed. The hole day waiting to hear the case, I was tired.

What happened a few days later was a shock to everyone, Tom tried to escape. Atticus took us to the Hospital were Tom Was at. "Now, mind your manners when we are with Tom Robinson" Atticus said before going to the front desk to ask what room he was being held.  He was wide awake when we were shown into the room. "Hello Tom" Atticus said curtly.
"Hello sur"
"Why?"
"Why what Mr.Finch?"
"why did you try to escape we could have had it appealed"
"Sometimes we just has to take a leap."
"But, Why?!"
"I knew i'da never made it"
"Yes you could have, a slim chance is a chance."
 "We both know that I'da never made it."
"You shouldn't talk like that" I joined in.
"Scout you still a youngin you don't know how the world works."
"Scout stop, let them talk" Jem said quietly to me.
As he said this we realized something was wrong with Tom Atticus shoved us out and called for doctors. I saw them roll Tom's body out, i didn't realize that he was dead.

Bravery to me

Bravery to me means, well it is hard to say what it actually is. It definitely not just killing or hotheaded actions, it is by dictionary " brave spirit or conduct; courage; valor" (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/bravery). which is really the only thing i can say, you  either have it or you don't. Not every action is brave that seems it, and inversely not every action that seems cowardly is. Courage is still pretty hard for me to say it but bravery is similar to it , by definition courage is "the power or quality of dealing with or facing danger, fear, pain, etc." (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/courage). I know what both of these mean but they are hard for me to say, and again you either have it or you don't. By far the most brave/courageous person in the book To Kill a Mockingbird is Atticus. He is defending a case that he knows he is going to lose, he is doing it because he knows it is the right thing to do, in a racist town in the south. Personally I don't admire anyone because they are courageous. I don't feel I know anyone who is.

The Great Depression

The Great Depression was  a time in history when just about everyone was broke a lot of people were homeless and a lot more were jobless. Hoover Was at the end of his presidential term and said that it was the American Government's job to deal with the social issues america was facing; things would eventually get better, Franklin D. Roosevelt became the President. Roosevelt , promising A New Deal, made things better for everyone. Roosevelt gave a better life for everyone, and gave artist federal recognition  and funding. America got rid of its troubles through the radio, movies, and books: timeless classics came along like the Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck  and Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell.

My songs for Othello

http://www.plyrics.com/lyrics/coheedandcambria/thewillingwellivthefinalcut.html- The Willing Well IV: The Final Cut By Coheed and Cambria - I chose this song for Othello Because around the end of the play he is so angry, and feels betrayed ("Will they ever measure up To the way you left me? Here by the roadside The bloodiest cadaver" you can assume that by this verse means when she btrayed him), at Desdamona that he ends up killing her (not by crashing her face in the door but i can still make a connection). "This is no beginning, yeah yeah This is the final cut, open up This is no beginning, yeah yeah This is the final cut, I'm in love" By "this is no begining I mean their marriage, as it just started: "this is the final cut" I made tha connection how he killed her and after he realized that he had made a mistake.

http://www.plyrics.com/lyrics/coheedandcambria/thehomecoming.html- The Homecoming By Coheed And Cambria- 


http://www.plyrics.com/lyrics/protestthehero/tandem.html- Tandem by Protest the Hero- I chose this song for around the end of the play before Othello before he killed Desdamona. By "everyone knows that cancer takes bites out of every family and it eats up families hole" by cancer i mean adultery and by everyone i mean Othello's mind. By " Dance around the issue Take issue with the answers provided" I mean avoid what  is being said about Desdamona. "My intentions are not to expose The depths of her trouble aren't mine to disclose But like evening rain on the petal of a rose It drips down to the earth and begins to compose" this is similar to what Iago was saying.


http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/paparoach/lastresort.html- Last Resort  by Papa Roach- this doesn't really relate to what is happened through the book but it is a song about suicide which is what Othello did at the end of the play. 

Elizabethan Sports

One thing I found interesting about the Elizabethan era Was their sports. Some sports include hunting, tournaments, Shuttlecock (ancestor of badminton), Bowls (like bowling now), Gameball (football), Shinty (hockey), Rounders (baseball), Billiards (pool if you didn't already know), Horseshoes, Tennis, Wrestling. As you can see we still play alot of games similar to these that they played.

To Andres "a lot of the sports they had back then seemed bloodier than today"

a something similar that happened to me that happened to the Youngers in the book A Raisin in the Sun was when my dad died. My grandma wanted all the money his children were getting because she paid for "all of the expenses". She got all of his six acres of land and all of his belongings while his children were left with nothing to remember him by excepts memories. Now i'm not trying to say that we were being materialistic and wanted everything we just wanted something to remember him by. The money was for his kids the land was for his kids. So money was an issue that I had to deal with like the Youngers.

My American Dream

It seems that Author 1 (http://articles.cnn.com/2011-07-08/opinion/mills.debt.dream_1_american-dream-james-truslow-adams-puritans?_s=PM:OPINION) is talking more about equality than wealth and about American presidents seem to be on one side or the other. Author 2 (http://articles.cnn.com/2011-10-25/opinion/opinion_granderson-what-do-you-do_1_stay-at-home-moms-american-dream-mcdonald?_s=PM:OPINION) they seem to focus on wealth and how all we as Americans focus on jobs and wealth.

The first author seemed to use a lot of quotes from past presidents but the second seemed to only talk about his ideals and his personal opinions about the subject at hand.

it seems that Author 2 seemed to be more trust worthy. I agreed more with Author 1 though because he had similar ideals to me.
