This article talks about Jackie Robinson's impact on sports.One example they use is when the first African American head coach made it to the super bowl.This site helped me because it told me what kind of impact he made on sports.

Animal Farm

I think the pigs are most responsible for their rise to power.One reason I think so is because it seemed like the pigs took advantage of the other animals.I know the pigs took advantage of the rest of the animals because in the story, Squealer changes the law about never sleeping in beds to ''no animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets''.I also know the animals were taken advantage of because of how Napoleon rules over them after the animals trust him.In the story it says ''Napoleon now never spoken of simply as Napoleon, he was referred to in a formal style as ''our leader Comrade Napoleon''.Another reason I think so is because the pigs took most of the control in the first place.When Jones was overthrown, the pigs took over automatically.They never found out if the other animals had something to say or suggest.My last reason that the pigs are responsible is because they lied to the other animals to get the power.Squealer told everyone that Snowball was bad so him and Napoleon could look better.Once the pigs were in power they changed everything around to get more power

IRB post

I finished reading my independent reading book called ''One In A Million'' written by Kimberla Lawson Roby.It was about a woman who had won the lottery and won 55 million dollars. she wanted to tell her boyfriend but before she could, he broke up with her.Soon she found out that he was with someone else and they had not talked in a while.Two of her cousins showed up at her house even though they had not talked in a while.they had only came over to ask her for money to fix his car.when she told him she would not give them money, they tried to make her feel guilty about it.She told the rest of her family about her winning the money and told them not to tell anyone else about it.But in the middle of a press conference that was on t.v., her ex boyfriend showed up because he knew about the money.she wondered how he could know if the rest of her family promised not to tell about the money.In the end she divided the money up between her family and charity.
