At the time, we were living in Johnson’s Corner in a trailer that we rented from the Harold’s. The Harold’s lived just up the old dirt road from us. I can see Mr. Harold coming down the road in his truck to run his hogs that were in the field next to us. My sister Renee had a Chow name Paco and I remember that we had to bring him inside when Mr. Harold rend the hogs. There was an old green car that sat in our yard. Once when we failed to get Paco in before the hogs where bing rend. Mr. Harold had a black boy who helped him. The boy was scared of Paco and Pacp knew this. I remember looking out the door seeing that boy on top of the old green car because Paco had got after him. Not long after that we were coming home one night and found

The main idea of the book was believing. Lady Bird Taylor believed in Lyndon Johnson. That's why they got married so soon, because she saw potential and ambition in him. She stood behind her husband in everything he did before and during his presidency. And she never spoke negatively about him to anyone.
William Johnson was a black man who was a barber in Natchez, Mississippi. William Johnson was a slave when he was young. His freedom at eleven years old followed that of his mother Amy and hi. Sister Adelia. After workings an apprentice to his brother-in-law James Miller, Johnson bought the barbershop in 1830 for three hundred dollars and explain trade to free black boys. It was shortly after he established a barber shop in downtown Natchez that he started to keep a diary. The diary was a mainstay in Johnson’s life until he died in 1851.
Lonnie George. Johnson is a former Air Force and NASA engineer who invented the massively popular super soaker water gun. Lonnie was born on October 6, 1949 in mobile, Alabama. When he was in high school his buddies gave him a nickname “The Professor”. Lonnie was the only African American that represented his high school in 1968 science fair sponsored by the junior engineering technical society (JETS).

Johnson had died in 1670, and no one had known exactly when he had been born. That was left to be a mystery. He was originally from Angola and brought to English settlement of Jamestown in the early 1600s (Blacks Were Not only Slaves 2013, 71). Since documentary accounts of lives of the first generation were not as credible, no one knows for certain whether the African Americans arrived in the New World as slaves or indentured servants (Gary 2008,). Documents of Johnson revealed that he was able to gain his freedom. With his freedom, he managed to buy hundreds of acres of land and became a successful tobacco grower (Gary 2008,). He even had his own indentured servants including, a fellow African whom Johnson was allowed to
It was a day I would never forget.We were all sitting in the fire hall and there was a fire call. And the call was on Montag’s street. He knew where we were heading. We jumped in the red fire truck and started down the road. The look on Montag's face gave it away that he knew where we were going. And he looked like he knew what he did. We pulled in his driveway, and he knew that he did something wrong. Mildred face was like she turned him in. We were going into the house and Mildred was standing there. She had turned him in for reading. I told him that he has been reading too much. He was learning way too much stuff from those books. Montag was going to burn the books, but he was gonna have mildred do it for him she said that he had to do
In “Work” by Dennis Johnson, it is a story about the author and his friend, Wayne, trying to gain money by doing a rescue job. However, it turns out that the Wayne brought the author to Wayne’s house and his wife. I did not like the story; however, some of the contexts of the story can help with writing my own story. The story has a characterization of Wayne through dialogue. For example, the narrator and Wayne were drinking at the Vine and Wayne said “’How would you feel about making some money’? he asked me… ‘I decided’ he said, ‘in my mind, to take some money…’ ‘Come with me,’ he begged” (Johnson 56). Through the dialogue, Wayne is the type of person that decides/ take leadership in their jobs. The narrator just follows what Wayne says.
In the story, “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl, irony plays a broad role in enhancing the impact of the story to make it more interesting. The title, “Lamb to the Slaughter” (p10) shows irony because the title indicates how when lambs are born, they are innocent and follow whatever their owner tells them to do and are slaughtered. Mrs. Maloney would be the Lamb whose heart is slaughtered by the news of her husband leaving her, but then she fights back and kills him with a leg of lamb which is ironic. Also, when she kills her husband whom, “She loved to luxuriate in the presence of” (p11), the irony of killing the man she loved was almost laughable. After Patrick is murdered, Mary puts on a little show for the grocer and then she returns
My second memory was in the back yard. I was playing with a tennis ball. I told her to go get it when I told her she listened and got it. I was full of joy when she did that. She was a pet that
Soul by soul by Walter Johnson interprets life inside the antebellum slave market by using evidence and information through slave narratives and slave-holders’ letter. Walter Johnson conveys this by talking about different influences (physical, psychological, social, and genealogical) throughout the book. During the reading Walter Johnson shows evidence of how slave market impacted the lives of slave and how the slave market generated a status among the slave buyers and slave traders. Dehumanization ; Walter Johnson refers to a slave as ‘a person with a price’ because like other pieces of property, slaves spent most of their time outside the market held to a standard of value but rarely priced. Any slave’s identity could be disrupted as easily as a price could be set and a piece of paper passed from one hand to another (p.19).

My first dog was named Toby, he was a very white, ball of fluff. He blended in with the shiny white crispy snow on December 25, 2006. My sisters and I were on our way home from my dad’s house when all of a sudden we pulled into my mom’s house. On Sunday, December 25, 2006, Toby was waiting at our house. We all got out of the car on that cold snowy day and walked on the slippery sidewalk. The snow was like a chilling carpet on the bottoms of our feet. My mom opened the door with a camera so my sisters and I knew something was up. A shocking step in the house and we saw a very fluffy dog, we were very excited. He was like a deer in headlights. There was a bunch of screaming and yelling going on at that moment between the three of us. We
