Poem for Two voices by Aaron and Beaux

Taino	Both	Columbus
We wish to make friends		I want slaves
	I see the sea
We want to live free		I want gold
	I want food
	I want shelter
We want equality		I want power
	I want to trade
We wish we could speak the same language		I wish I was king
	I want religion
We want religious freedom		I want you in my religion

Inheritance

“Dear Galbatorix”

Dear Galbatorix,

    I am having some troubles.  Your empire has been annoying me.  If you do not know this already I would like to tell you that on your order thousands of people have been slaughtered.   Your army of over 16,000 humans along with thousands of more urgals have butchered the people of your empire and those who oppose you alike.  

    Among these many dead is my uncle.  My uncle raised me after my mother died when I was really young.  I slew the “beasts” that had murdered my uncle.  I also recently found out that my father was my mentor when I was learning magic.  The “beasts” slew my father as well.

    The groups I am assisting are the varden and the elves.  If you knew all this already I am sorry for repeating this.  Although if you didn’t know that your people were being cut down right under your nose I hope you will be happy to know this now before what has already happened happens.

    Very soon I will lead the varden into battle against your troops.  I hope you will have resolved this issue by then.  If not I will assume that you have ignored me and will end this with you being overthrown and a new society will be created.

- Sincerely Eragon

ps:I’m not telling you when the battle (that is taking place right now) will happen haha.

Morning girl free response

      After reading the book "Morning Girls" I had learned much about the Taino way of life.  The Taino people were who the book was based on.  They lived on the island named San Salvador by Columbus.  The story was focused on two characters Morning Girl and Star Boy.
      Morning Girl got her name for waking up as the very first person of their family.  She was quiet and respectful.  Also she mostly wished to see herself as how others saw her.  
       Star Boy  was named for staying up all night.  He is very childish.  He talks all the time and does not care what others think about him. 
       The book talks about the island many times and weather.  As the book progresses it tells about a storm that separated Star Boy from his family and finally at the very end it speeks of strangers who come to the island.

Lights
Lights bring brightness but in my room that does not help.  For some reason with 4 lamps and a wall light my room is very dark, I even have a window.

Combs
 I believe combs were invented as a torture device to. It would feel as if your head was being split apart.

Nature name ?

I could not come up with a nature name for myself even though we had weeks to do so but, my sister told me about how Erin said I was 'The Pessimist who will never be happy until when the astroid is heading towards earth screaming "Yeah I was right" squish'.
