The Proslavery Defense

Some women are born unhealthy and some men are born to have failure in everything they do. How is the right way to look at things from any perspective. When men and women came over from Europe, they came to this country for freedom and the chance to move up in social class. How can someone be born for failure, when everyone that lives more than three seconds in the United States makes a mistake or has failure. It is not about if or how many times you make mistakes, it is about if you learn from them and improve from your mistakes. This is what gives you the chance to work your way up the social class chain, which allows you to become more wealthy. How would our world be today if everyone knew who was going to succeed at birth? There would be no “Cinderella Stories” or “underdogs” to root for. There would be no point of work or life to itself because everyone would know how they stood and nothing would be able to change. How can we in America call ourselves the land of free and the home of the brave if no one has a chance to better themselves. Starting with our founding fathers this country was born for success and so was everyone who inhabits it. In the end slavery was finally found to be wrong. In the end the United States abolished slavery. In the end only good things make it through the thick and the think.

The Battle of Antietam intro

As the radiant red sun of the morning rises over the horizon I awake from my deep sleep. As the light puddles in from the great outdoors I take in this beautiful morning that is now upon me. Today is September 17th, 1862, which means today I go to Antietam Creek in hope of catching tonight’s supper. Although I live in Sharpsburg Maryland the creak is not far away from my house. I fallow the usual morning schedule and set out with my bamboo pole that my father made for me and worms I gathered last night. Stepping into the cool brisk air I can see a crisp frost for miles on end silently sitting on the blades of the grass.

Story With Dialog

“Why would you switch to the 200 meter dash, when that is the one event that I can actually win.”

“Because my four by one team is horrible and I can’t do the 100 meter because it is right after the hurdles. Why does it matter to you Trevor?”

“Because it is the one event that I am really good at and that I am not in with you.”

“I might not even be good at it anyways. I just wanted to try it to see how good I am at it.”

“Sure you did.”

Trevor walks away and no one says a word to him because they know that he is still furious with the idea of me do the one event that he wins every time. This is because I can beat him in the other two events that we do together. I walk over to Parker is starts talking to him about what is all going on.”I don’t get why Trevor is so mad at me. It’s not like I am trying to beat him in everything or anything like that.”

“Yeah, but that was the one event that he didn’t do with you and he could actually win.”

“It’s not like he still can’t win it. I might not even be that good at it. I am not good at long distance.”

“Yeah, but if you do beat him. He will be even more mad because every event that he does you would be doing. And in everyone one you would be better than him.”

“I guess… Hopefully he won’t be that mad at me. At least not for that long.”

“I hope you know that he is going to talk crap about you for this because that is the kind guy he is. When he doesn’t get what he wants he is a big baby about it.”

“Yeah… I will deal with it. It’s not like he has anything agents me or anything. A lot of people doesn’t like him anyways.”

There is a long silence between the two because neither of them know what to talk about. They just decide to lay off the situation and go play some basketball.

“I’ve learned one thing today that I’ve got out of this whole things.”

“What is that?”

“Some people over react over little siutaions.”

The two walk away and laugh.
