2. "Sacagawea began running a fever around June 1. As she grew worse, the captains feared that she would die. They were also afraid that the expedition would fail without her. How would they trade for horses without their Shoshone translator? Without horses, how would they get across the bitterroot mountains? And who would take care of Pomp (her son) if his mother died?" -pg 44

3. "The explorers were still among the Shoshone when Bird Woman (Sacagawea) ovrerheard something shocking. Her brother (the chief) had changed his mind. He was going to break his promise.

Jackie  broke the color barrier in baseball by staying strong and not fighting back when fans called him terrible names or made him feel unwelcome. Jackie had the guts to not fight back. 

1. That is exactly what the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers wanted. On page 51 Branch Rickey asked Jackie, "What would you do when someone calls you names? What will you do if a player digs his cleats into your leg on base? What will you do if a pitcher throws at your head? Jackie responded, "Do you want a ballplayer who's afraid to fight back?"  Rickey responded, "I'm looking for a ballplayer with guts enough not to fight back." That is exactly what Jackie was going to do. 

2. On page 69-70 it talked about how some of the Dodgers players were banding together to try and kick Jackie off of the team. The manager Leo Durocher called a team meeting and famously said, "I don't care if a guy is yellow or black, or if he has stripes like a zebra. I'm the manager of this team and I say he plays." Jackie proved to people that he was just a regular baseball player like everyone else. His courage and strength proved that to people. Eventually people started to stick up for Jackie. 

3. Jackie's first game in Philadelphia was a tough one. The Phillies fans yelled such hateful insults that Jackie later said brought him closer to cracking up more than ever before. On page 77 it says, " But there was an upside, his Dodger teammates stood up for him. Eddie Stanky shouted back at the Phillies, "You yellow-bellied cowards. Why don't you yell at someone who can answer back?" Sometimes Jackie wanted throw down his bat and raise his fists. He didn't. He just tried to play the best baseball he could. And his game got better. ]]> 2018-11-05 18:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/danklumper/f1bp8z5erf77/wish/300631383 JFK - Whitney Owen https://padlet.com/danklumper/f1bp8z5erf77/wish/300634319 Claim: John F. Kennedy  was bold and stuck by what he believed was the right thing to do.

1) On page 2 and 3, it describes the scene of JFK saving one of his crew members.
2) On page 68, JFK becomes the youngest president at age 43. I think that this takes a lot of boldness and courage to take this on at such a young age.
3) On page 95, it talks about how JFK had the option to have the plastic shield to protect from the rain and bullets. He made the decision that ended his life, but he did it so he could connect with his fans and the people more.

Evidence: Sam Chapman asked Amelia to marry him but she said no because she believed he would not want her to have a career. So instead, she stuck to what she believed and left an opportunity to get married so she could chase her dream.  Page 28-29 

Evidence: Amelia wanted to learn how to fly and was willing to do anything for it. She found a class and it would cost $1 for every minutes. She didn't care because this was something she believed in and wanted to do. Page 31-33
