Poem
Perry picked a plump berry.
It was a very hairy berry;
Larry wanted Perry's berry.
He tried to take it,
The berry plopped on the floor.
Perry was very mad at Larry.
Larry apologized for ruining the berry.
Perry accepted the apology.
Larry and Perry continued to be friends,
And they all lived happily ever after.

Vocab Words Post
Words: oratory, inception, and express.
Winston Churchill has delivered many oratories in his career. Some of which are quite famous. One, in particular, is fascinating. It is found to be interesting because of what it caused. Churchill's "Sinews of Peace" speech was an inception of the Cold War. It was not the only cause, but it was one of the leading factors of the war.
In his speech, Churchill expresses the need to stop Joseph Stalin and the need for the permanent prevention of war. At the time, Stalin was capturing lands that had been ravaged by World War II. Stalin saw this disapproval of his actions as warmongering. From this, Stalin started the Cold War with America. A reason why Stalin did not start a war with Great Britain was that Harry S. Truman, United States President at the time, created the speech and asked Churchill to deliver it. Overall, through a speech in which Churchill declared the need of the permanent prevention of war he, ironically, started another war.

Research
One thing I have learned through doing research is how it seems like so much but is not as bad as you would think. Sure, it does take up lots of time, but if you are consistent and just keep working it will get done. Also, once you get the hang of it and start getting on a roll, it starts to go by surprisingly fast.
Another thing I have learned is that I do not mind this paper and project combination. I find my topic to be quite interesting. I am having a good time learning about Winston Churchill. I enjoy learning about the ups and downs of his career. I find it especially intriguing how not many people know about his roles in World War I and the Cold War.
Absolute True Diary of a Part Time Indian (II)
So far the Absolute True Diary of a Part Time Indian is a remarkably intriguing book. It succeeds in telling the hard truths of what is to be an Indian on a reservation. On the other hand, it also succeeds in being funny and amusing. The author does an exceptional job of balancing these two sides of the book.
One thing that interested me the most about this book is how quickly Junior's parents allowing him to go to Reardan. I can understand that his parents wanting him to go there, but that is a big decision to make. I just do not know how they made it that fast. Also, Junior and his family do not have that much money. How can they afford for him to go to Reardan? If it is a public school and I just missed that, someone, please let me know.
