We all die someday... by Teddii

We all die someday..walk to church on-Sundays;drip water when it-rains;cry & pray..when things don't-change!;tear up at'a homies-grave..but party when we go to-

Raves..and do our hair all up in-braids;run from cops..when they do-raids;scatter as the bullets-spray!;cus we all die..-someday..//

“What's In A Name? Burma Vs. MyanmarYou may not find the country of Burma listed in some books printed after 1989. That year the military government changed the country’s official English name from “the Union of Burma” to “the Union of Myanmar.”

Although the United Nations switched to Myanmar, the USA, the UK, and Canada are among the nations who refused to recognize the new name.

As I’m writing this note, newspapers and magazines are also split. The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and CNN use Myanmar, while the Washington Post and Time use Burma. For Bamboo People I chose to use Burma because in the Burmese language, "Myanma" is the written, literary name of the country, while "Bama" is the spoken name of the country.”

Ruth was so excited to take a trip in her family's new car! In the early 1950s, few African Americans could afford to buy cars, so this would be an adventure.

But she soon found out that black travelers weren't treated very well in some towns. Many hotels and gas stations refused service to black people.

Daddy was upset about something called Jim Crow laws... Finally, a friendly attendant at a gas station showed Ruth's family The Green Book.

Science geek Eddy Thomas can invent useful devices to do anything, except solve his bully problem. Eddy Thomas can read a college physics book, but he can’t read the emotions on the faces of his classmates at Drayton Middle School. He can spend hours tinkering with an invention, but he can’t stand more than a few minutes in a noisy crowd, like the crowd at the science fair, which Eddy fails to win.

When the local school crossing guard is laid off, Eddy is haunted by thoughts of the potentially disastrous consequences and invents a traffic-calming device, using parts he has scavenged from discarded machines..
