CRINGE WARNING When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for me to dissolve the bands which have connected me with Homework, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that I should declare the causes which impel me to the separation. Homework cost just too much time for me to still rely on it. Homework is badly organized, some days I have no homework other days I have three or four assignments. Homework does not work for me, I would prefer classwork and tests, then homework as well. My grade can go down because I turned in a paper late.

Life in the colonies was very different than my life today. Formal Education was uncommon in the colonial era, but today we go from preschool to college and lots of the time past that. Almost half of children died before they reached adulthood in the colonial era, but today dying as a child is extremely uncommon. Colonial law was fairly similar to law today. For leisure in the colonies people would gather to do certain activities. Today leisure for me is video games. Religion in Puritan colonies was very strict. Religious laws had harsh punishment. Today religion is completely free. Life in the colonies was way harder than life today (for me).

         In english we are reading a book titled An Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian , a very strange book. The main character of this book is named Junior. He identifies with many different "tribes". I am supposed to list three "tribes" I identify with. The first "tribe" I identify with is the tribe of Karate brown belts not wanting to test for black belt. The second "tribe" I identify with is the tribe of people living in California. I also identify with the "tribe" cat lovers. So now you know even more things about me.
