gates of fire
"with 65 pounds of bronze armor on " i think this is very striking because that is a lot of armor to wear for a fearsome soldier going to battle. i don't know how they can get around with all of that on. p.21

"i could feel the crown of the helmet tear up and off, shearing half my skull with it. The bottom lip of the eye hole had opened the muscles beneath the brow so that my left eye was sheeted with blood." there are some really intense scenes in this book . The description is SO good that it feels like its happening to you as you read the book. p. 64


sometimes it seems like this whole thing is a dream, because its always talking about all these injuries that probaly would kill you the first time but appearently not.

This year George Bush will finally be told to leave the White House. In his place will there be a old white man or a black man. The reason for choosing Obama is because he seems to have a lot of ideas. Besides I think America is ready for a change in presidency. But if I were to vote for McCain, it would be because he has more experience and he's been in government for a long time. We need someone like that when were going into a depression and we're at war.

I think some people just don't want to be viewed as racists so they stay on Obama's side. McCain has more experience in government. Hopefully he'd last throughout the time he is President. Another reason is because of Sarah Palin. She was the governor of Alaska so she has some experience. I think she is also young and energetic.

If I were to choose Obama, it would be because he is younger than McCain and has more people skills and is more energetic than McCain. Joe Biden, his running mate, has been around for a long time and knows a lot about foreign policy. He was also an attorney. According to Wikipedia he was a senator and reelected numerous times.
