There are a variety of changes that happened to France because of the French Revolution. The Third Estate received more power because of the Great Fear; there was an abolishment of privileges of the Second Estate, the Nobility and Clergy. However, the more things change, the more things stay the same. There were conflicts all the time whether inside France or with another country. For example, there was the Reign of terror and there was also the battle with the pyramids. Adding on, the king was the ruler for most times. Louis XVI was the king, the ruler, until his execution. Even though there were a few years that there was no king ruling the country, Napoleon eventually seized power and became their next king.

The book, The Borden Murders, written by Sarah Miller describes one of the most bizarre murders and trials in American history. In 1892, August 4th, there was a murder in Fall river the Borden’s house. Lizzie Borden reported that her dad, Andrew Borden, and stepmother was murdered. Lizzie was the one that reported this crime to the police;however, she seems to be suspicious. All her reactions, dialogue, and all other details points at Lizzie as the murderer. To try to not be identified as the murderer, Lizzie tries to refute but sometimes it makes her more conflicted. The police were also concerned if Lizzie really murdered her family members. Personally, I really enjoyed the book on how the author slowly writes down more and more details that seems like hints to the reader telling that Lizzie is the reader. She also wrote the reverses in the book to make it more interesting.
Research Page
On day 11, we learned when and how to research outside of the text. This is important and helped me a lot because through research I had a deeper understanding of the book. I understood why the author wrote specific scenes or dialogue. Through research I also learned that the murder is also actually more complicated than what we think it is and this influenced me a little bit on my thoughts on the book.
Connections
On day 10, we learned to make connections to recent pages. At first when I read to a part, I feel weird because I do not understand why did the author write that. However, when I look back to pages I have read already, I found that when these parts are connected, it creates another point that makes Lizzie more suspicious.
Theme page
Throughout the book, I did not find much themes, but this stood out to me. On page 14, the author added a part that shows discrimination and made a connection to the society at that time. I wanted to share this page because I also made connections with it when I was learning about researching.
Central idea
On day 3, we wrote some central ideas. One of it I wrote was Lizzie’s conflicted personality and feelings creates suspicion. I want to share this page because I think this idea is really important and can always see it throughout the book. Writing all details and page numbers also helped me review and remember some important parts.
Thank you for reading my blog, hope you read the book!
The Renaissance is a time where people start to rethink about life meanings and religions. These people are called humanist, but what exactly is humanism? What did they do?

This found poem above was taken from “Lather and nothing else” by Hernando Tellez from page 4. This found poem shows the internal conflict of the story, which the protagonist is the barber. It shows the main character’s inner conflict of should he murder the customer or not while he is shaving his mustache. This is an important part of the story because without this internal conflict, the story would lose its climax and cannot continue on building the story. This conflict also shows the main character’s personality during this process of thinking about should he be a hero and not kill or be a murderer and kill. At last, the barber did not kill this customer and shows that he might be a soft hearted person.
My biggest challenge was that the materials weren’t stable enough, but we used other materials and kept adding on to it. We had to kept on fixing the materials when G4 were playing, it wasted lot’s of time and had to let the G4 wait for a wile.
If we would change one thing, I think I would only keep the card board part. The G4s won’t even try to hoop the others, and it waste materials and time. If we had the time, we could make the hoops and the cardboard more stable.
Overall, I think this project was successful because G4 enjoyed playing it and lots of them went back with their friends to play this game. It made me think that they liked our idea a lot, which made me feel successful.
