He was believed to have been the last Native American in Northern California to have lived most of his life outside of the European America culture. He traveled to Oroville in 1911. He died on March 25th, 1916. He lived 56 years.

Japanese man survived bombing.

I think that its sad and happy about the man who survived. It's sad because he was only one of very few that survived. It's happy because, obviously, he survived. After this bombing, it was very devastating. There so many man, women, and children killed from this bombing. Over 140,000 people were killed. The ones that survived were very lucky.

Day Books: Hiroshima

I learned that this time for these people was very difficult. The weren't getting much sleep from having to go back and forth from there shelters almost every night, and on top of that they were also scared to death. With all of the warnings they got, telling them to go to their shelters, and then nothing happening - which is good of course - you'd think that the people would stop listening. I guess they wouldn't want to take a chance with everything going on.

The Play "Light in th Window"

I think that this play was a good idea. It was a more fun way to learn this, and it keeps every one more tentative. I think that it was sad that they had the slaves in the first place, but even worse is that they were very mean to them; if they ran away and were cot, it was pretty much a death sentence. Mr. Hawkins was a good example of that kinda of slave owner. I'm glad that they still had those back then who would help the slaves escape. I think that this play showed this very well. It was kind of cool how you think that Captain Ben is one of the bad people in the begging, but he turns out to be the good guy who is helping the slaves escape.
It was a very brave thing to help the slaves escape back then. Because if they were cot helping them, they would most likely go to jail, if they were lucky, in some cases, they would get the same sentence and the slaves

WASL practice

I think that the story was very true. I agree entirely with it. Because, Children are like dogs when there real little; they follow you every step, they look up to you as if you were the coolest person on earth. The they turn in to teenagers, and that all changes. Their more like cats; there more independent, they don't spend as much time with their family, and it is so true that you only see them when there's food around. (haha) They still need love and affection though, and help along the way. If you don't push them to turn them back in to your little puppy-dog again, they'll slowly become your little dog again, but they'll be more grown up, and understand right from wrong.

Second Movie

The second movie that we watched was very interesting. I think that it gives more information then the first movie we watched. It tell's more about the Indians, and how they reacted to the war that was forming. The way they describe some of the Indians, they seemed to be very brutal. The most surprising thing that the Indians did, was that they were scalping people - even women and children.
I think the reason why the people who made this movie wanted to make it, is because i think that they wanted to make a better version of what was going on back during this time. And i think that they did a nice job of doing so.
