Dear Ike,

I am so mad at you! How dare you lie about this obedience school! I personally love this school, and you don’t belong here! The other dogs and I think that you belong at a true obedience school! We are glad you left so we don’t have to deal with you anymore. You have pushed my last button! We are never sharing a room again, and I’m demanding you to never come back again. And, if you do, I will get security to kick you out! You are such a slob, you didn’t even pick up your mess. We had to get the maid to pack up the rest of your stuff, and ship it to your house. Also, how dare you do that to your owner, although all the dogs wanted you to go home. Hope to never see you again.

Sincerely,

                   Bandit,

                               Your roommate from obedience school

Back in 1911, during the Industrial Revolution, there was child labor. Most kids started working around the age of  6, but usually child labor was under the age of 18. The children had never been to school and didn’t make much money, but needed the money for survival. The only day some of them had off work was Sunday’s. Many worked 12 hour shifts. Even if u come in two minutes late, they dock your payments. Also, in some factories, they would lock the doors until your shift was over. There was a group of  workers from the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City during 1911 that had to jump out of a window because the cloth caught on fire. Many jumped to their deaths or burned from the fire. I was surprised that they made children work, because children should be able to go to school. Usually, the parents work while the children are at school, but back then, they wouldn’t let the children go to school. I’m just glad I did not live back then, because we get to go to school and we don’t have to work at places where you would normally see just adults.

It started to rain, soon we got soaked. After that, we ran into the building while the thunder and lightning lasted for hours. 

In May of 1778, the British commander, General Clinton in Philadelphia, faced with a war with France decided it was prudent to protect New York City and Florida by sea. Then on June 18, the British began to evacuate Philadelphia, crossing New Jersey to go to New York City. The two commanders were, Sir Henry Clinton and George Washington. Great Britain killed 289 Americans while the U.S. Army killed 400. There was 40 wounded Americans and 641 wounded people from Britain. Great Britain captured 60 Americans but the Americans only captured 22 people from Britain. There were 11,00 U.S. troops and 14,500 British troops. Though there was no clear winner, the Americans got the win. The Battle of Monmouth was an important American Revolutionary War battle. It was here that the Americans intercepted the British forces  who were trekking from Philadelphia.
