How Have the Hatians Responded to the Presence of U.S. Marines in their Country?

     The view of America's power in this world has nnot been good as of late. Some countries despise the fact that our government has taken it upon themselves to "help" developing nations with their own government. Some may not want the aid but that does not stop the U.S. The thoguht is that we are the super power in the western hemisphere so we have to "help" any country within our reach. Haiti has become one of these countries three years ago. Our government has seen them as in trouble after their revolution against France so we inserted our troops to d as we thought fit. The idea is to help them set up a stable government and have their trade prosper so that we can leave them with a strong and healthy country. Haitians no longer see what our government is doing as just.
     There are talks of another uprising such as the one that occured when the Haitians seized control over France. But this time, it would be different. They want Americans out of their country for good. They see it would be easier than the first time because it is their country this time. The problem is, Americans do not want to get out.
     The Haitians have responded wiht these thoughts of uprising and anger. They spread there angry thoguths to others to get people on board.

We talked about different speeches and sayings that have to do with the Panama Canal. I personally do not honk it is that bad that the US took it over to buil it because in the long run it helped everybody out in a major way in things like trade. It is a huge help to the whole world and try really needed t at that point in one and we do now as we'll. 

I missed Wednesday because I was on a field trip. But in Thursday I caught up with the Muldowney's since they were out too and found that we read many paragraphs on things that happened in the time that we are studying. It was fun because we got to pick the best title that other made. Some were very creative becuase they were short and sweet and grabbed your attention. It was a good class. 

We read about Hawaii and Alaska these two days. They are harsh ad hard to live on. Hawaii is volcanic rock where there is little vegetation. Alaska is cold and snowy where this hard to survive because of the temperature. So many things could go wrong in either place. I still love both. 

Indian leaders

We talked about red cloud and sitting bull and what they each did as leaders. Neither of them wanted tog I've up their land. Hey wanted to fight the US government because they were taking way their land an forcing them to lie in reservations. I was wrong in thinking which photo was which but hey whatever. But the worst part is I lost a bet with mike in the pictures so I had to give him a piece o gum it's my favorite gum and I'm mad about it. 

I really forget what we did. We talked about Indians and what they were like in their tribes. They wanted to be left alone but they were not.  

Movie

We watched a movie about Indians. It was really old. The Indians acted a lot different than what we read that they were like. The Indians in real life are very peaceful and want nothing to do with the whites. In the movies they were very mean an wanted to kill all the whites. But hey it's Hollywood so it has to be very interesting.
