During the English Civil war that lasted from 1642 to 1651, the Royalists were arrested and brought in for questioning. The sergeant on the left with the halberd brought them in after finding evidence about the king’s secret plans and wrongdoings. The children and wife were brought in separately from the king and were questioned in front of the full court. The small boy being questioned first was proud of his father, nonetheless. He gave loud and clear answers and stood erect. One of his sisters, on the other hand, was weeping and not as defiant right behind him. She knew what they had done, and she knew that it was wrong. The man towards the back in the brown is holding some of their forbidden books and the other sister realizes that also. The mother and the son stay together though, trying to hide that they were really guilty. The court had come to the conclusion that they weren’t guilty after interrogating the mother and other two sisters. Thesis statement 1: Although interracial adoptions cause many debates, they are a good thing because many children from other countries need homes and sometimes the people in their own country can't afford them.Thesis statement 2: Even though some people don't accept interracial adoptions, they are a good thing because every kid has their own story and some don't permit children to have families in their own country or race.  “Gale Opposing Viewpoints In Context - Document.” //International Adoptions Break Down Racial and Ethnic Stereotypes// 10 Oct. 1918.

//With thirty seconds left on the clock, Nicole sprinted toward center court. As she set her sights on the hoop, from the corner of her eye she sensed the presence of a defender. With seemingly super human cat-like reflexes, she launched herself skyward as if she was possessed by the spirit of Michael Jordan. Only the pain of the rim striking her palm was enough to awaken her from her dream.//

//There were 30 seconds left on the clock and Nicole was running as fast as she could to center court. She looked at the hoop and could tell someone from the other team was coming her way. In a way that nobody has seen before, she jumped towards the hoop just as Michael Jordan would have. The feeling of the palm of her hand against the rim is the only thing that woke her up from her dream.//

//Nicole once had a dream she was a basketball player like Michael Jordan, and was only awoken by the feeling of her palm against the rim of the hoop.//

// **Paraphrasing** // Lewiston, Auburn libraries to launch e-book lending // Soon, people will be able to read library books without ever going to the library since there's a new online service at a variety of the Maine libraries. It allows people with computers at home to borrow, download and read books with s system called Maine InfoNet. For people it's completely free, says Rick Speer who is the Director of the Lewiston Public Library. Rick has said that they've never tried this before, so they're all still learning. Lewiston and Auburn libraries have both signed up for the program and have agreed to buying several new e-readers which each cost anywhere from 130$ to 200$ and should be able for rent in about two weeks. // // It's a whole new concept for the e-book. They are basically a collection of computer files that have a full-text of any book. On the website for Maine InfoNet, download.maineinfonet.org, people sign in using their library cards. They can download it and use their library cards to browse through 1,800 books. This site will also let you download free software to be able to use the site on your home computer, and it also protects the authors from illegal copyrighting. If people own their own e-books though, they would be able to still use this site also but only some companies' are compatible, though. // // People owning the Sony Reader and the Barnes and Noble Nook can borrow books from this site and read them on their e-book but two of the most popular, Amazon Kindle and the Apple iPad don't work with the InfoNet system yet. They are working on getting the iPad installed into the system, as well as the Kindle. So far the Auburn Library has bought a pocket Nook and a Sony Reader to be used and lent. // // The site launched on Friday and as soon as it was launched, Sullivan, the owner of the Auburn Library, took the Sony Reader out of its box. The e-books are very convenient, which is one of the pluses. They can be downloaded without even leaving home and buying them is cheaper than buying them at the store and with the e-books, there is no overdue books since they are just taken off of your computer/reader. On November 18, Sullivan is scheduled to have a free workshop at the Public Library on how to work e-books and e-readers. She's read some books on her laptop and likes how the reader can switch the size of the font and the brightness and stuff. Sullivan says it's as comfortable as reading a traditional book. //

// **Summarizing** // Assistant Coach Dies In Crash // An assistant coach at Maine Maritime Academy named Richard Dykas II, who was 24, died in a car crash Sunday morning. He was dead at the scene. // Creepy, Crawly and Tasty // Bugs were served to whoever would have liked to try them at the College of Atlantic in Bar Harbor. Most people did not try them, considering they aren't traditionally eaten in Western cultures. // Write-Ins Offer Options // There are five people hoping to be write-in victories on November 2nd, but only people who have said post-election that they want to be write-ins can win the election. //



There were many reasons as to why the political, economic and social conditions led to the first global age. Simon Bolívar, for instance, had a vision of the America’s. He visioned liberating Ecuador for freedom in 1822, which happened to work. He also visioned that it would be hard to get all of the states together because of differences. But there were also other things going on at the time such as the French Revolution. The French were revolting because of the fact that France sent troops and supplies to help America. This brought to France the idea that a republic economy is better than a monarchy, since they had a Monarch at the time. Another cause is that France had divided into three states. The first was called “Clergy”, the second “Nobility” and the third “the Commoners.” People were mainly in the third state, though. France was also having financial difficulties since their government had high debts. There were also other reasons to this quetion but I don’t understand them. Anyways, a boy who lived in France named Peter then came into the issue. "Let's have the Boston Tea Party." He proclaimed to all of France. France loved the idea and agreed quickly, all while the Monarch had no clue since it was being done in Africa. They called in the power puff girls, Christopher Columbus, and Dora the Explorer since she was good at finding things. All the details were planned and the date was set to April 4th, 1968 which happened to be the very day Martin Luther King Jr. died. The whole plan came crashing down though when Lord Voldemort, otherwise known as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, got into the mix. "Voldemort, you mustn't do this!" Peter shrieked as Voldemort came after their tea. "This needs to be sent to Boston right away!" Voldemort cackled while drinking the tea, ignoring Peter on the very day that matter the most. Simon Bolivar took good care of him soon after by coming up with an Enlightenment Idea which happen to enlighten Voldemort very much so. Thomas Jefferson took notes on all of the happenings which can now be found in the John Locke museum in South Korea.
