Writing reflection


At first I really hated writing, and now some time I still do. Writing make me feel good when ever I have something to inspirer me, like right now I have something that inspirer me.
But sometime it will get very frustrated or stuck and got nothing to write. But when ever that happen I just close my book, and listen to music or go find something else to do. Like right now I'm kind of stuck and don't know what to write so see you latter.

Reading reflection



This is what I used to be when it come to reading. I used to hated reading, I'll try to think of anyway I can get out of reading, and the only time I read was in class and I was force to read.
For example when ever I don't want to read I either skip pages or write down half of the amount of pages down on my reading log, and I used to judge the books by it cover.
Then I found this book in the library it called Skeleton Creek, it about 2 teen want to discover a haunted dredge, and they have to put their live on the line.
What make me like about this book is when ever you finish a chapter or two, they give you a website to go on and see what happen. That's the first time in my life I really like reading, and I finish the book in a week.
After that I really like reading, and I goes to library and look for books. This goes out to people that really hate reading, some time you couldn't find a book that you like, don't give up and keep looking for the right one.

The Spanish American War

The Spanish American War is not a just war, because it is not reasonable to declare, it is not fair to Cuba and Spain, and it shows no justice. The Spanish American War is not reasonable,because the U.S sent U.S.S Maine to help Cuba to get its independence, but it exploded.There is not enough evidences to prove that Spain did it,and those medias wanted to earn more money by spreading fake news about the Maine.American imperialists get a very good chance to call for the war.Although President Mckinley didn't want war with Spain, but the majority of Americans truly believed Spain did it, so President Mckinley was forced to declare the war with Spain in 1898. The Spanish American War is fair, because U.S took over Spanish foreign colonies after the war, and forcing Cuba to accept Platt Amendment.This makes Cubans feel mad and angry, some of them even believe U.S is fighting for Cuban economic and money. The Spanish American War is not justified, because it left Cuba in chaos after the war, the government is a mess,sanitation was nonexistent,and disease was spreading like wildlife.In that time, Cuba doesn't have money in poor condition and useless government.
