Organized Crimes

In the small groups presentations each "gangster" that did something that made them  pay the price of going to jail.Bonnie and Clyde were a couple who did so many crimes and killed innocent people that were not even involved in the things that they were doing.So basically the duo killed anybody that got in their way at anything.Later both Bonnie and Clyde did from a setupAlso these people had ways to get what they wanted when it illegal.For example the use of alcohol was not allowed but they still muggled in alcoholic drinks and did not care.Many of them were sentence for robbing banks.

Acrostic Poem

Possesion of things that they were not allowed to have.
Restricted people from selling or buying alcohol.
Ove the years people started
Having ways to make alcohol.
In the the U.S prohobition goes into effect.
Banned the manufacture and sale of alcoholic drinks.
Impossible to enforce the admendment
Trouble started with the
Introduction
Of
No alcohol seved.

Raging
Out of control women
Against men drinking
Realizing men were
Inticing when they were drinking,but
Nothing stopped the men
Gatherings.

Together
Women
Established
Nothing but hatred
Toward drinking.
In their minds alcohol
Engaged men in
Sins.

"song of the shirt"

The life for those textile factory workers was so hard.The reason why is because in the song it mentions how long they work when he says work,work,work, till the stars shine trough the roof.Also how he describes how the women were dressed in un-womanly rags and how they were sweing the whole time.So their life must of been really hard because they barely got any sleep and had to work to help their family.

Discuss why you agree or disagree with the blogging assessment system used in this course. Your opinion will not affect your grade. You will be assessed on how you formulate your argument.

The whole blogging idea is very cool but I dont like it at the same time because i get very distracted and forget about the blog and decide to go on facebook or go on you tube to look up videos.Its very ahrd to stay concentrated when the computer is sitting right in front of you and you cant help but on another website.

2.Was your learning different when blogging, as compared to writing just pen and paper?

Yes very different.The reason is because blogging is so much better than writing about something on a piece of paper.

Which blogging topic was your favorite from first quarter?

My favorite blogging topic from the first quarter was the one about the sterotypes because we had the chance to explain what it was aking and also give example like I did.

3.What effect did Reconstruction have on former slaves? Were they better off after Reconstruction than they were before the Civil War?

The reconstruction had effects on the south beacuse it was granting them amnesty.It was replacing all loyal rules in the south and Lincoln was doing partons to all.One effect that it had on the south was that the republicans were angry because the conferderate members were allowed to stay in the United States congress.They also had the three amendments which ended slavery,due process which meant that they had rights and security of freed people,and the right to vote no matter the race,color,or previous condition of servitude,but expect gender.And I personally think that they were better off after the Recontruction because they did not have as much rights as they had before.
