Check Up 6

At my school we have these assignments every week called Check Ups. There are ten questions, normally I answer at least 9... even though we normally have to answer at least 7. Most people say that Check Ups are really annoying and that they don't make any sense and that we shouldn't be given so much homework, but personally I actually really like them! And most of the time the questions are really easy, we have to write a paragraph or two answering the question and giving some thought into the explanations we provide. Simple, right? Well this week we only had to do 5... but what is really annoying is that we don't get to do any other problems for extra credit! I think that that is really annoying because I want to get a higher grade on it but I can't because I can only answer 5 questions! I don't think that it is really fair. What if I want to do more? I want to... but I CAN'T? Oh well. Oh, here is one of my answers... Number Nine.

Native Americans and Settlers did not get along very well. The Native Americans believed that they should be able to keep the land that had belonged to their ancestors long before any of the settlers decided to steal it from them. On the other hand, the Americans who had fought and died for this new land believed that they should be able to keep the land that they had fought Britain and The Native Americans for. This disagreement caused many problems for the up and running America, since it wasn’t the best country in the world, and it wasn’t very experienced either.  Lots of Men, Women and Children were killed on each side, and entire villages were killed.  

That is pretty much what average Answers are like. I mean sometimes they are really long, or really short.

New Hawks Uniforms

Okay, so I just have to say... Nike is a way better designer for the Hawks. Since Nike is based in Oregon, and the closest team to Oregon is The Seattle Seahawks they gave us a totally awesome-decked out 12th man- uniform for the up-coming season. Here is the whole thing in a nutshell.
On both sides of the neck there are twelve "feathers" apparently those represent all players on the field... (In case you don't know anything about football... There are 11 players from each team on the field and a few refs, The Hawks are the only team with a 12th man, the fans, so if you are a REAL Hawks fan... you are a 12th man.) The Jersey colour is dark blue (home) and white (away) this is not how it always is, but generally it is colder here. Personally I do not like the lime green additions. Also, there are way to many Nike swooshes.
