Oscar Carrillo Pd. 4 Ms. Rich Analysis for adolescence survey My survey was about sleep deprivation in adolescents, specifically students in high school. I think this a very important topic because I am usually very tired during class especially when I get under 8 hours of sleep. I?ve noticed that it?s a common problem with a lot of my friends and peers in general so I decided I would survey some people on Facebook and ask a few people at my lunch to take the survey as well. It seemed to be a pretty good sample of the population.

Contrasting Twelve Angry Men to Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry By: Oscar C Carrillo The characters in these books have to face their responsibilities to right injustices or wrongdoing. In Twelve Angry Men and Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry, the characters frequently face prejudiced opinions and threats of harm in many ways. Socioeconomic prejudice takes place in both books because of judgments and prejudices against the lower class because of their socioeconomic status. Both books also contain struggles of inherent power. However, in Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry most struggles are due to racism, which is not the case in Twelve Angry Men. In both these books the main theme is how characters have to figure out how to face their responsibilities to right these injustices

Jenny Zhi 1st Hour 12/4/14 RECONSTRUCTION What were conditions like in the South after the Civil War? All infrastructure was destroyed, including buildings, roads, and bridges. What was President Lincoln?s premise about the South in relation to the rest of the country? He believed that the south had never seceded, and had always been a part of the Union, so it shouldn?t be punished. State all the specifics of Lincoln?s Plan of Reconstruction. Once ten percent of the people in a southern state took the oath of allegiance to the Union and created a government abolishing slavery, Lincoln would recognize that government. What was the Wade-Davis Bill? What was Lincoln?s reaction?
