On May 1st 2011, Osama Bin Laden was shot and killed. Bin Laden was found in Pakistan living in a safe house for six years. U.S. Helicopters swarmed surrounding the house telling Bin Laden to evacuate. Bin Laden and his three bodygaurds resisted and were shot, one of which was Bin Ladens son. Many American people feel much safer with Bin Laden dead, but i feel the same as when he was alive. Just because one leader is dead don’t mean that another will not take over his job. Therefore, eventully a retaliation will occur.

Hi I am Veronica M. from Mr. Sal’s 20th Century period 6 class. I had Germany as my empire. We spent our economic points on industry, army and navy. We spent them on these to help our empires safety and to make us stronger. We maded treaties with the U.S., France and Russia. We aillied with them to make our empire stronger and to take over other colonies. We didn’t break any treaties because we wanted to be stronger and have more aillies than enemies. No, I am not pleased with our outcome because we could of had more army and navy to make us stronger than we were. We should of used our points a little more wisely than we should of. Yes, i do have a better understanding of how diplomacy works in the world. If you don’t choose your ways wisely your whole empire could fall apart.

Hi this is Veronica M. from 20th centery period 6. In the 1900s many women where concerned for the safety of children who worked in factories. Women were more responsible for the care and well being of children. The women were outrage because the child labor. One of these women named Florence Kelley, was a leader against child labor. In the 1891, Kelley worked at the Jane Addames’s Hull House. There she investigated and reported the uses of child labor. “In the stores on the west side large numbers of young girls are employed 13 hours a day on Saturdays.” said Kelley. Children who worked in tobacco companies suffered from nicotine poisoning and the children from painting industries breathed in toxic arsenic fumes causing them to suffer in many ways. Kelley pressed the government to outlaw the use of child labor. Today you have to be 16 to work and have a work permit from your school and parental consent. Kelley helped many childrens lives in America by making the government think about how working in poor conditions hurt children.
