    For the Historical Book Report I decided to read April Morning by Howard Fast. This book takes place in the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Adam Cooper, one of the main characters, is a fifteen year old who lives with his family in Lexington, Massachusetts. He is oppressed ( as the book says) by his father, Moses Cooper, which means to keep someone in subservience and hardship. Not only does Adam get watched over , but his father questions whether or not his son is a man or not. This effects where and what he does. An example of this is when Adam wishes to attend a Township Committee meeting on April 18th , but he didn't go because his father didn't want him to. Since his father is very hard on him, he always relies on his Grandmother to make him feel better. Instead of going to the meeting, Adam goes to see his neighbor and second cousin, Ruth Simmons, she is the woman Adam can see marrying in the future, he loves her. When Moses got home from the meeting, Adam secretly listens in to his father telling his wife Sarah and Granny Cooper about news he heard at the meeting. He was talking about the British army potentially confronting us, so the colonial community is preparing. In Lexington, sometime after midnight the community is awakened with news that the British Army is on the march to Concord to take out munitions being stored by colonists for a possible rebellion. A muster, which is assemble troops, for inspection or in preparation for battle, is put together for the militia, and Adams signs up in the muster book and commit to the militia. Adams is very determined and set to go, for this reason Moses allows him to go and is right by him when he signs up. Sarah, Adams Mother, is very sad that he is going , but Moses explains how much Adams really wants to do this.…

    Leading into reading the book Milkweed, I had mixed emotions. Milkweed, not being my first choice, and not looking too interesting by the cover, turned out to be a very good book. In the book Milkweed, by Jerry Spinelli, a young boy named Misha, looks for his direction in life, while searching for his past in the midst of the historical event, the Holocaust. You should read this book because, the main character Misha, is near the same age you are, the vocabulary and wording of the book is very easy to understand and follow, and the book provides a glimpse of what the life of a young boy could be like at the time of the Holocaust. Being a fourteen year old boy in Marathon, it is hard to fathom a life in such a different setting, but being around…

    In Milkweed, the setting of the story is in Europe during World War 2. The setting affects the story, because since the story happens during a war the characters may act differently according to the situation. Moreover the time period affects why the story was written because Spinelli might have deep thoughts about the time and Spinelli used it in the sense that we already know some about that time. I think the author incorporates imagery through Stoptheif's dreams. For example on page 1," I am running. The first thing I remember. Running. I carry something, my arm curled around it, hugging it to my chest. Bread, of course."(Spinelli 1) Therefore, I better understand the story because I can see in my head what was happening and I do not have…

    The relative quantity of plant species in our environment is actually present through time. Ferns, being somewhat numerous in number, becomes a present challenge by botanists. In most mountainous areas, ferns are visible particularly blanketing the understory with poignant foliage. However, the presence of these species, especially in investigating its patterns in diversity, is less studied by most biologists, leaving a limited knowledge to the people. It is also becoming increasingly difficult to ignore that ecologists are more focused on studying herbaceous vegetation, shrubs and trees all over the world, leaving behind a little attention to ferns. There are still many questions on fern ecology that is still open, e.g. the relative role of these species to the environment, contributory factor in the ecosystem and its interspecific competition in the fern communities (Lehmann et. al, 2002).…
