The book that I am doing for my book portfolio is Twenty and Ten by Claire Hutchet Bishop. The theme in this book is that courage can be found in more places then just up high were only few sit. This theme is relevant to history because during wars there are men and women that are your everyday people and they are going out to fight.

The theme of this book is courage can be found in more places then just really high places were few sit. In this book a lady named sister Gabriel got asked by this guy to take care of these Jewish kids and make sure the Nazi’s didn’t find them. Then sister Gabriel went to town and she went to jail and they interrogated her about were the Jewish children were. The significance is that the lady had courage in order to hide those kids from the Nazi’s.

In world war II there were people going over and fighting that were not major known people all across the country. There were people being drafted who were ordinary people and weren’t considered hero’s. Some people were courageous during hard times in the war and they weren’t big city officials or big celebrities. Courage is needed in order to be able to function correctly in hard times like that. The theme courage is found in more places then just high sitting positions or titles is relevant to history because there have been many accounts were ordinary people have displayed huge amounts of courage.

My point of view on this theme is that it is true that courage can be found just about anywhere. I have heard about stories of children doing things to help others and even animals doing things that have saved someone’s life. Even just when I see people doing like really big presentations especially when the person that is doing it doesn’t like to talk in front of big crowds of people. Courage also doesn’t have to just be someone doing something that gets recognized all around the world. Example of it can be found anywhere look at Rosa Parks. She had the courage to stand up and say that she wasn’t going to sit on the back of the bus and she wanted freedoms just like whites.

The theme in this book is that courage can be found in more places then just up high were only few sit. This is significant to history because there have been a lot of ordinary people who have done amazing things in history. I think courage should be seen in more places then just celebrity and big media type things and people. The importance of this theme is that you never know when courage will get us somewhere and by whom is displaying it.

The Legislative Branch is the branch of government which has congress and the branch comes up with laws and proposes them to the other two branches of government. The legislative branch also votes on presidents ideas like tax cuts and energy plans. The executive branch is the branch of government with the president. The executive branch enforces the laws that are voted in. Then the judicial branch of government. The judicial branch punishes when the laws that are made by the legislative branch and enforced by the executive branch are broken. all the branches have a power to veto one anothers ideas or laws as that way one person doesn't get to much power.

essay 1

The Articles of Confederation failed as our first constitution because it didn't establish a good government that which is what the country needed after the revolutionary war. There should have been some type of government in order to keep from anarchy happening and rebellion. That is one area were it failed and a thing called Shay's Rebellion happened and it was because they didn't like the way the government was at the time.

The goal of the founding fathers during the constitutional convention was to build a better government and make it so there would be a leader. There were a few problems though because if they had a leader there would be a possibility that they would get greedy. But there was a man who came up with an idea to help stop that from happening. The idea was that there would be three branches of government Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. They would have the power to veto each other if they didn't think that something was a good idea.
