The Day I Learned How To Read

           I Learned how to read when I was about 6 years old. My mom used note cards all over the house and i had to tell her what the words werre and then we put them all toghter and READ. If I got all of them right I would get a treat that was the best part of getting the word right. Then when I got in second grade they had a thing called Accerlated Reader "AR". You would go to the libary and check  a book out that you really wanted to read. The books were based on grade level and points. The series of books I used to read is The Box Car Children ,  and Juney B. Jones.
            I used to love reading alot I really had a passion for reading books but now I just can't seem to read one book by myself anymore. I would really love to get back into reading if i could. Now I don't like to read i'm very busy now since im in high school. The Box Car Children was a very interesting because those children were very celver and smart. They figured out all if the mystery they new everything about crimes and where to start to find out the mystery. They should have grown up and been dectives.
             The Junie B. Jones book series was very funny and crazy. She was a very crazy and a very bad child. She was uncontrolable child her parent could do nothing with her she did what ever she wanted to and never got in trouble. Her books were all fun and I really enjoyed reading all of her books wish I could go back to being little and read her books all over again.
                 We had this thing that went up from second grade up still seventh grade. It was known as Accerlated Reader better known "AR". It was basically you read a book and you took a test on it and you got points on it. The higher grade level the book was on the more points it was worth. The teacher gave everybody a reading goal, you had to get so many points by a certain day or your grade wasnt gonna be good in class at all. We had different  point clubs like twenty-five, fifty, seventy-five, one hundred point club and so on. Those would get you some where at the end of the year AR party you used your points as cash at the party.

               Abraham Lincoln was very ingdiant about the war and the slaves and the southern states.
He says that "one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive." Lincoln accused the southern states of starting the Civil War. He is saying the southern states would rather go to war then let the slaves go, even if it meant killing the country. Then he says the other side "would accept war rather than let it perish." Lincoln is saying the union would rather die then wacth our nation be torn apart.
