One taught me how to love
And the other taught me how to care
I am from the sunny hills, humid and hot during the day
But lively and busy at night
I am from plain white walls
Surrounded and secure walls that make me feel safe
I am from the smell of clean laundry just out the dryer
Hygienic and fresh all the time
I am a shiny chandelier
Sparkly and noticeable in a crowd full of people
I am a stubborn tree
Awkward and quiet around new people
Im from my two story house
Two sides of me, Shy and Wild
I'm from 10 things I hate about you
Always fighting with my sibling
But still loving each other no matter what

She got dressed and went downstairs to the kitchen to eat a fruit salad as her breakfast. She bit into a cut up strawberry, and all the juice and sweetness tasted delicious. After she was finished eating, she washed her dishes and packed her lunch. She got all her things ready and headed out the door to get in her car and drive off. As she was driving, she admired the beauty of California. When she got to school, she met up with her class and friends. Eventually, everyone got on the bus and Ali was sitting next to her blonde best friend, Kacy.

What makes a family is love and loyalty.” - Genevieve Dewey.  In the book Chains written by Laurie Halse Anderson, there are many examples of loyalty being seen by Isabel to the other characters in this historical fiction novel. The author tells an unexpected story about loyalty through Isabel’s point of view on how it's important to be trustworthy and loyal.

There are many examples on how animal testing negativly affects animals and how they live. Animal testing is unethical because it gives flawed data, animals go through plenty of pain for human research, and lastly the tests are not reliable.

They often have misleading or biased information to publicize a political cause. An example of propaganda from the WWII Nazi is below. In the photo, there is a large warning written in red to grab the attention of the person looking at it. Adolf Hitler and this other man are looking at the world, both holding weapons. On the bottom it says “ Our homes are in danger now!” And lastly it says “Our job keep ‘em firing”.

In Chapter 3, Isabel and Ruth were about to be sold to the Locktons. Jennys tires to help them and says, “I want them two girls. I need the help. We’ll pay cash,”(22). Jenny didn’t need the girl’s help, but she knew their mother and believed Isabel's  claim that their master had set them free. She offers money she doesn’t have to help them gain their freedom. Another example of Jenny’s lack of freedom is when it states, “I was indentured when I was your age,”(17). This is an example because indentured means that you're contracted to work without a salary. Jenny didn’t have any freedom so she had to work. These two quotes from the novel Chains are two examples of how Jenny didn’t have any freedom.

If I continue helping them, I could get caught and they would be caught as well. Where would they take us? I received the list from Margot and the rest of them. I had to go to the store and get some soap, bread, and a bunch of other things. As I was walking to the store, I see the Nazis taking some Jews. I could hear their voices and you could hear the sadness in their voices. I go to the store and collect all the items from the two families lists. I am walking back to the Secret Annex and wait a moment for all the workers to leave the building. I wait and wait until they are gone and I walk inside and knock on the door. Mr. Frank opens the door and I see Anne peak behind him. I gave them the things they asked for and I told them any news that are important. They show me their gratitude and I leave very quietly, hoping to not get caught.
