Story
They knew that this was the only way to succeed on their crusade for freedom. They began to plan their plan to take back the city that they had all loved so much. They had tried to avoid using force, but it was deemed the only way possible. The plan was put into action and a small militant force began causing havoc in the city as a distraction. The subsidized army of the state went to quash the small rebellion, when they were ambushed by the rest of the rebels.
The strife lasted for three days. It was on the third night when the government sanctioned the bombing of the city. They thought this would be the demise of the rebellion, but they had no clue. This sparked a nation wide uprising, that would eventually would leave the country like it is today. The small dream of a few hundred, who had just wanted their city back had led to the country's falling. Now these events are censured by the strict government that somehow survived. Survived is the word they use to describe what they did, but everyone knows they died the second they killed the hundreds of thousands of people in that city. The government did not survive, but instead it was reborn as the monster it is today.

Poem
The dark skies that rule the night,
with clouds like giants floating above,
thunder booming with each step they take.
There grins flashing like lightning,
as they look down and laugh at the pain that is bellow.
Seeing the rain they walk on beat down on the cold world.
The small people below hide under anything they can,
hoping the giants above will pass quickly.
Hoping that the sun will rise and everything will be ok,
but many know differently.
They know that the sun will not rise.
They know the giants have won,
and everything has changed.

Research
Most of our research is done for our paper, and I got two main things from the process. The first was that you need to mark down your sources. I would go to a source to find a little additional info on a certain topic. I would put down the in-text citation, but forget to put the actual source in Noodle-tools. This would be quicker for the moment, but in the long run it is not good. I sorted out this problem and my research finding improved.
The second thing I found was that it's good to have reliable sources. If you have info on your source, then you can let your audience know why they should trust you. Also you can take up more room with talking a little bit about your source. The only thing I was really worried about was citing the sources. I've had some trouble with it, especially the in-text citations, sometimes. I think I'm learning how to do it more though.

ATDPTI
The characters in ATDPTI are very unique. With characters like Rowdy, Junior, and many others, the story becomes very interesting. The characters in a story are one of the main things that drive the plot and keep you interested. If a story doesn't have memorable characters then the story won't be as good. Thats why all great stories have characters that make you feel emotions and keep things interesting.
For me Rowdy was the most memorable character so far in the book. He gets in fights all the time and is the strongest kid on the reservation. He protected Junior all his life and would fight anyone as revenge or protection for him. There is another part of Rowdy that can be seen in the story too. It is the part of him that is beaten by his dad. Rowdy is beaten by his father, but Rowdy beats up anyone else. Rowdy's inner fight in him is so strong because of his dad, and he wouldn't be the same character if things were different.
