That's what she said!



No, not the joke! The literal meaning. Back in the 1800's women had little to no rights. They were thought of as figures who only served for cooking, cleaning, and giving birth. They were not allowed to vote, and held no political position. Women were thought as people inferior to men. Molly Pitcher, was importantt to the armed forces. She delivered water to the thirsty soldiers. Women are worth more than just house work!

Man in the Beaker!


The man in the beaker was another experiment that we did in mash 58. In this class period, a man was placed inside the beaker. Under the beaker was a fire. In my opinion that person in the beaker represented the black man. The water represented his griefs and pain that he would face. His fire was the savior. Why? Because it will free him from the water, which is trying to drown him. Under the fire were books that rid him of his ignorance, also his savior. Over time the water evaporated and the black man was free from his problems..

We are all in the salad.


As our last class project we created a salad that contained all the ingredients that depicted the United States. I was the chef for this class period. The salad contained, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, lemons, and greens. The salad represents the United States because the United States is a melting pot, which means it contains a lot of different people with various backgrounds. I feel that this experiment was the most important because it not only speaks about one specific race or person, but the whole United States.
