Making Changes
= =

=
We chose the book Making Changes.We chose Thurgood Marshall because he was not afraid of anything like when he was in first grade he wasn't shy. He went home and had a discussion with his dad. His name was Thurgood Marshall but when he thinks of his name he didn't like it so he shortened it to Thur. Thurgood Marshall went home and found out that he was a grandson to a slave. He studied harder then ever until he was a lawyer until he became a judge. As a lawyer and a justice on the highest court in the land. No person should hear no you can not come in becuase of your religion or your color of skin.======

__When You Are Old By: Mina, Riya and Angela

The mood is sad. The author makes it sad by the old man sitting upon the fire and sleeping. The author mentions his changing face (growing old).

It nakes us feel about how growing old may be sad. No experience with this,

If you read the poem slowly it sets a sad tone.

The Pilgrim surprised us.

Disliked that the author did not mention the name of the person he is writing about. Dislilked that the author mentioned Pigrims - how does this relate?

It is unclear at the end what the author is trying to say.__
