political cartoon

I think that the picture is trying to show us that only the person in the picture could be procted against anything. But we can't be procted of bad people like the person in the picture or like rich people. Also I think the picture is trying to show as that there is a easy way to trick other people from seeing you or caching you. The people think is esie to fool other people and using tricks on them. It looks like if they are trying to say that wining a battle or war it easy as hiding from someone or something order a bunch of people. I think that person that made that photo or picture is trying to say that it easy to trick people. I think that picture should be publishe because is making fun of people. Also the picture might be telling us that we should protect our self of the bad people in the world or of battles. The picture or drawing might mean different things in one picture but you might not get it at the first time that you see the picture you might have to study it to get the meaning of the drawing. That wath I understand the drawing is trying to tell us.

THE FRENCH REVOLUTION

Wat I learned this week about the French Revolution was that many people have said lots of opinions about the French Revolution how it started. When the Revolution started the government had lots of debts and there leadership became weak. Also there was fighting with other European nations and the execution of lots of monarchies. Then there was disagreements of Enlightenment ideas and the people did not have any power to influence the government. There was a new punishment that was called guillotine and it started in 1792. This punishment was made in public places; many people did not like these new machine. There were people that research about the French Revolution they were Charles Dickens, Edmund Burke, and Thomas Paine. Charles Dickens wrote a book about the French Revolution he name the book "A Tale of Two Cities." Edmund Burke expressed his opinion and critic the French Revolution in 1790. In a book that was called "Reflections on the Revolution in France."Thomas Paine defended the revolution against Burke and other critics. All of the three men had there one opinion about the French Revolution and wrote a book about there opinions so other people could now. That what I learned this week about the French Revolution.

AN URGENT MESSAGE FROM THE KING AND QUEEN OF SPAIN

I will travel to India from spain by going on a boat and I will take some with me to these trip. Travel on the Atlantic ocean all around Africa until we get to India. I will pass by Guinea, Liberia, Angola, Tanzania when I pass by Africa on my way to India. I might also pass by the Arabian sea and the Indian ocean to get to India. Once my men and I get to India we will look for some one that speaks our language if there is no one that speaks our language I will ask one of my men if they understant the Indian people. If there is no one that understands the Indian people we might have to look for something that will help us comunicate with the Indian people. For example we could use pictures to comunicate with the people or we could try to teach them how to speak spanish or italian. Some of the items I will try to look for are food, clothing, medicines, and gold. The things I will try to bring back to Spain are some ideas of there religions, also food, medicine, pictures of there clothing, and ideas of there writing and there way of language. After I found everything I need it I will tell my men to get on the boat and seal back to Spain the same way we came to India.
