I have many dreams. Some of those are as follows. I have a dream that all would be treated equally, also, I have a dream that all people can be safe and healthy. I wish that people will not bully others just because they had a bad day. I wish that people would pick others up instead of shooting them down. I have many dreams, but what are yours?

My opinion is that both Betsy Ross and Francis Hopkinson made the American Flag. First of all George Washington showed a picture of the flag and said it was designed by Francis Hopkinson.Also Betsy Ross had flag making skills because she had already made the Grand Union flag before.Another fact is that Betsy’s daughter wrote a note that said “The stars and stripes did wave independence proudly.” That is my opinion and my proof of who made the flag.

“Be a bush if you can’t be a tree. If you can’t be a highway, just be a trail. If you can’t be a sun, be a star. For it isn’t by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.”  (Martin Luther King Jr.)

MLK day is not just a day off it is a day of service.It is a day that we serve the community.

I helped my parents on MLK day by helping to cook dinner. I also helped with the dishes.

The most challenging part if I lived in colonial times would be sleeping on the bed. The parents would sleep on beds called jack-beds. Jack-beds are high off the  ground so the younger children can sleep under them.They are also very short. The younger children sleep in beds that are called trundle beds. The trundle beds are pulled out from under the jack-beds. Older children sleep in the attic on beds made of bags or a soft mattress. The bags are made with scratchy straw and mattresses are made of feathers or bits of wool. Babies would sleep in cradles witch are next to the fire.

One day there was a white snowy owl,and he was on his way to the pumpkin patch. When he got there he saw a sign that said “Don’t destroy the pumpkins!’. He started to walk in when suddenly he saw a green flash. He hurried to see what it was. When he got there he saw a witch, but it ran away. Then he saw a bunch of pumpkins that were destroyed, so he called the M.O.P.S. (Monster Operating Police System). “M.O.P.S. here what’s your emergency?” said the responder. “There’s a witch at the pumpkin patch who’s destroying all the pumpkins!” said the owl. “Okay I’ll send the officers right on over there. Then he heard another loud bang. The owl sneaked over to the bang and he saw the witch destroying the pumpkins.Then out of nowhere he could hear the M.O.P.S. sirens and the witch started to run,but before she got away the owl jumped out and grabbed her and became a hero.

Where would you rather be Jamestown or Plymouth? Lets see some facts about these two colonies. Jamestown was a colonie that came from England. On the ship were more than one hundred men and including King James I. Jamestown is actually named by King James I.They came for money like gold. Also their first early years were very difficult. This is also the colonie that found tobacco. They did not have a very good relationship with the natives. Plymouth was a colonie that also came from England and they came for freedom. It was a difficult first winter. They came with men, woman, and children. They had a good relationship with the natives. It became the largest colonie, and it was named after a port in England. Because of these facts I would rather be in Plymouth.
