Best Friends For Never

Author: Lisi Harrison
Pg 41-60
Massie and claie had to go shopping together and Massie absolutely hates that. She feels as though that Claire is very tacky and poor, Right now Massie is trying to suck it up in front of her mom to make it look like they are friends.
Reflection: I think that Massie shouldn't be so mean to Claire because she never know when she's going to need her.

Annotation 2

Bayard Rustin was a close advisor to Martin Luther King. He was a organizer of the civil rights movement. He was one of 12 children. Rustin dedicated his life to nonviolence. Also he joined the Fellowship of Reconciliation. He organized compaigns to help people become more nonviolent. Even though he was arrested, King still wanted him to be his advisor beacuse of his intelligence. Roy Wilkins which was also involved in the movement, made Bayard seem like a bad person to be with King because of his criminal background. All in all he guided a organization that would bring over 200,000 participants to the nations capital.

One main issue withe both of the candidates

One issues is health care. Obama feels that health care is very important. Also he feels as if everyone should have a decent healthcare plan thats affordable. Obama says no on should be denied a healthcare plan. Peolple would have a healthcare tax that would go directly to the cost of the plan. McCain also thinks that health care is imporatnt; he thinks that we should have different healthcare plans according to your yearly income. Even the tax for healthcare would go right to the insurance companies so we wouldn't be getting helped anyway.

What is service learning.....

Service learning is basically like volunteering for nonprofitable organizations. In the process of you volunreering for something you also learn the process in which things are done.
