Angel Island’s history preservation

The Asian immigrants who were held against their will on angel island and were counted which does not make immigrants feel welcome and makes them want to go to their homeland, Asia. I think that they should have been given a chance to return by offering free tickets after a short time of waiting. Also, they should have been given comfortable sleeping quarters instead of what they were given. So yes I do think that their history should be recorded and stored or else America will go back to that point, with the Asian immigrants in it. To be honest we would probably even make a law that would nullify their citizenship.


Love for reading

My dad and I love books and have a whole bookshelf full of them I usually read books he recommends to me but sometimes I read things myself. I tend to like the young adult section and the adult section. Once you get me onto a series I like I will want to read them all and most of the times I do. We usually don’t have the money for books so I get even more books from dad. There are several times I have gotten a new book because I have a literature class. I love my dad and I am certain he loves me too but I am starting to feel bad that dad does not thinking that he is not a good father and I feel at fault.


Invisible strength

I cannot identify a time I have displayed invisible strength so it must be very invisible, even to me, the user but it must be very valuable and precious. I know people who have and displayed invisible strength like my father, cousin and mother. The only time I display invisible strength it ends badly for me or I hurt someone’s feelings but, I do know times I have displayed invisible strength that have hurt me and everyone around me. For instance I got into an argument with Cody and eventually he went inside and I did not know why he went in.

Hero

Once upon a time a hero wanted some adventure but he thought all the interesting adventures were already done until the town crier called all of the bravest heroes of the land including him and told him about an area and villain that wasn’t there a day ago. He told stories of heroes who went and came back with no clue why they went or where but he went there himself and there was certainly an dark ominous mountain. So with all of the lower heroes burned out he had to call the higher heroes till he got to the Great Eight. They are the heroes of Bravery, Patience, Team Cooperation, Compassion, Strength, Life, Intelligence and Magick. So they formed a team called the Great Eight which went around stopping villains until there were no more, then they disbanded. Bravery decided to do the scariest things to see if there was somewhere that his bravery ended and he found it after there was nothing he needed to be brave about. Patience went to an asylum for becoming catatonic after waiting too long and not responding to anything. Team cooperation made a business for helping couples who thought that their relationships were “shaky”
