Rude- he said no when Jessie wanted to help his lemonade stand. He also told Jessie he didn’t want her in the same class as him.
Selfish- he told Scott not to pour a lot of lemonade in but he poured a lot for himself too.
Jessie:
Thoughtful- she kept wanting to help Evan even though he kept saying no
Nervous/excited- Jessie was willing to be in the same class as Evan but Evan and Scott kept telling Jessie reasons why skipping a grade is bad Evan is an independent person when it comes to having to be with his sister Jessie.

On page 65, Jessie wanted to bet with Evan to start a competition and see who can make the most money before the fireworks started on the 4th of July. Evan and Jessie were arguing about Jessie going into 4th grade with Evan and how Evan wouldn’t like to be with her in his class next year. He also didn’t like that Megan (his friend) was helping Jessie sell lemonade. He didn’t want Jessie with Megan because he didn’t want to embarrass himself because he had his little sister with her. On the day of the 4th of July before the fireworks, Evan and Jessie wanted to call the war off. Which meant that no one wins or loses. (The Lemonade War, 125) Jessie thought about what she had said in the beginning, and how she created the war by arguing with Evan. She was disappointed. Another reason is Jessie made a mistake. She didn’t tell Megan she was in a lemonade war so it made it hard for Jessie to earn money. Jessie promised Megan that all their earnings from selling lemonade would be donated to the Animal Rescue League. (The Lemonade War, 63) Furthermore, she was thinking what would happen if Jessie lost Evan in the war. Jessie would have to give Evan ALL her earnings to Evan. Which meant that Jessie would not have enough money to donate to the Animal Rescue

    Among the bustling port cities of the early American eastern seaboard, Baltimore was the only one that was firmly in the Democratic-Republican camp at the onset of the War of 1812. The young and dynamic boomtown stood antithetical to the aged, ordered, and settled civilization of southern Maryland whose economy was founded in the eighteenth century on the backs of African slaves and tobacco production; a crop which remained during the grain transition of northern Maryland and southern Pennsylvania farmland at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Baltimore, since 1798, had been a Democratic-Republican bastion and, starting in 1801, the Maryland state government soon followed. Though the Federalists remained powerful in southern Maryland and on the Eastern Shore, there were less Federalist representatives in the state legislature as compared to the populous Democratic-Republican districts. A…

Curtis and Janet went to a different school then Rufus but he still walked them to school then walked himself to school. On his way to school a car followed him very slowly but Rufus kept walking.

He went down to the office to get a tour he thought he didn’t need because he remembered every single solitary thing about this place. While the tour was going on everything going on was a blur. He looked left, right and left again, admiring the changes the school had made. “Wow” he sighed. “Is there a problem Rufus?” the tour guide asked. Rufus answered, “When I was here the wall paint was all chipped, there were broken windows and holes in the walls.” “Oh ok, well that concludes our tour and this door on your right is your first period class.” The tour guide replied. Rufus walked in and sat at an available seat at the back of the class room. He opened his notebook and took notes even though he didn’t understand anything that was going on. By the time 5th period came around it was time for lunch he was starving. All of his friends called him over and asked him to sit with him. Momma didn’t make him a big lunch because they didn’t have that much food in the house and then needed to split it 3 different ways. Allison who used to have a big crush on Rufus sat right next to him. Mitchell and Charlie sat across from him and Christina, Alisha and Sammy sat around them. When the bell rang he went to his locker and when he got to class he looked out the window and saw the same car that followed him to school. The only person he thought of was Simon. But he didn’t have a car? Rufus ran to the office to explain the…

    The Vietnam War involved many decisions and outcomes, many of which have latter been reviewed with more uncertainty then confidence. With this Michael Hunt, the author uses both American and Vietnamese resources, some which before the book were never heard from. He uses these sources to try to explain how the United States of America was sucked into involvement with Southeast Asia. The overall conclusion of the book does not bring to many new views on why the United States involved itself with the issues of Vietnam but more confirms already believed views that they began in the conflict with comprehension of Vietnam’s problem other than the issue of the cold war.…

    The United States was unjustified when going to war with Mexico for multiple reasons. One of the biggest reasons was the expansion of a slavery state. Texas is very large and great for growing cotton, so if the U.S. annexed Texas, a very large slave state would be added. The second reason was that James Polk provoked the war. He was also a big believer in Manifest Destiny. This meant that he wanted to expand the land of the U.S. , and His motto was “54 40 or fight” which meant expanding the U.S. up to the northern boundary of the Oregon territory. If this goal was not achieved, they would go to war to get it.…

    Now if you’ll excuse me, i’m taking your man, and later the title of ‘cheer captain’” I grabbed Isaac's hand and turned away from her walking to the tops of the bleachers. “You’re a fiery little thing aren't you?” He laughed and laid his arm around my shoulders. Asriel looked up at us and stared, as I smiled and grabbed his hand making sure she could see. “You know, she's always jealous. Even when no one does anything wrong. It drives me insane.” he frowned a bit and i felt my heart drop. “You should change that Isaac, you’re handsome, so smart,athletic and funny. You deserve so much more.
