In Wounded knee a lot of people were killed and that shows violence. Which helps you better understand the violence that went on during this time.

Book Portfolio

The book I read was Animal Farm written by George Orwell. This book is a fantasy. The theme of the book is not everything is equal or can be equal. This book was about two pigs Napoleon and Snowball who want to run the farm. They scare the human off of the farm. They begin to run the entire farm. They make it so that the pigs get everything and are privileged while the other pigs don’t get so much. On page 35, it tells about how the pigs aren’t equal. “Napoleon was large rather fierce-looking Berkshire boar, the only Berkshire on the farm, not much of a talker, but with reputation for getting his own way. Snowball was a more vivacious pig than Napoleon, quicker in speech and more inventive, but was not considered to have the same depth of character.” These two pigs are the ones that run the farm after the bigger pig passes away.
The pigs Napoleon and Snowball aren’t equal to the other animals. They make it so that the other animals have to tend for the pigs. The other animals would get fed up with the pigs but they would have to do it because they were the ones that were in charge. They would make it so that the pigs would get to sleep in the hay while the other pigs would have to find there own place to sleep. The pigs would also get much food which really isn’t all that fair. They wanted to build a windmill but that plan didn’t really work because Snowball peed all over the plans so they couldn’t build it. They ended up getting into a fight and leaving the farm. These pigs are wicked smart and they read books and try to teach the other animals.
The authors theme of this book really is related to life. It makes you think that people need to think more about what is going on in life. Not being equal really gets onto peoples nerves and they begin to fight. This world really isn’t all that fair or equal. Not everyone has the same rights and that makes it so that things get bad. It makes you think twice about what you really have and you should be thankful and not complaining because other people out there don’t have anything that you have.
These characters aren’t believable because pigs can’t talk or do anything like what they were doing. The owner would never make it so that the animals would have to be raised on there own. Someone would obviously have to come to the farm to raise them. Pigs can’t talk or read or do anything like that. This book was a really good book for explaining equality.

Bears One Stop has been around for quite some time. They opened in 1995. They are located at 80 Moosehead Trail, Newport Maine. I was only 3 years old by then, and I moved here 3 years ago to Newport. I have only lived here for a couple of years so I really don’t know what there is around here. Reopened as Bears One Stop in 1991, it used to be called Floods.
I notice that when I’m driving to Nokomis or anywhere else that I always see Bears One Stop full all the time, with either people getting gas or just grabbing a bite to eat, or just running in to get some lunch meat they are always there to help you.
They have a full line of products. Deliveries come everyday for different items. They also have a fresh bakery. Meat, groceries, gas, beer are all sold are Bears One Stop. Bears One Stop made renovations to the inside of the store in 1992. I know that Bears One Stop was called Floods a while back and when the new owners bought Floods they named it One Bears Stop. They are also convenient for snowmobiles and four wheelers for filling up with gas because there is a trail that leads right to the store.
The owner of the store is Jeffrey Amoroso and there are currently 22 people that work there. There annual sales are $2,600,000 a year. They are a grocery store and a gas station. They are usually open until 9 at night, and open Monday through Sunday.
Nothing major has happened since this store has opened. The only big thing that has happened was the bas ice storm in 1998. Bears One Stop was robbed 3 or 4 times said Derek Amoroso of Newport, Maine son of the owner of the store.
There biggest robbery was when his dad had to go in with a gun and the police thought that he was the one that was robbing and told him the next time he shouldn’t go in until we arrived. That was pretty much the only big thing that has happened.
Bears One Stop is usually busy during the summer due to the travelers that come up to Maine. They don’t have any more openings for the store for you to get a job and they have everyone that they need. They have a deli selection.
According to Shylo Lesperance, from St. Albans age 16 has said, “They have unbelievable steaks.” So as you can tell many people like the steaks from Bears One Stop.
People that are on four wheelers and snowmobilers have it very easy to get gas because it is located on the Moosehead trail.
Snowmobiler Becky Wolinski from Newport Maine age 15 said, When she is snowmobiling she likes it because you can stop and get a bite to eat if your hungry and you can fill up on gas when it’s needed.
If you ask someone if they know where Bears One Stop is they would realize where it is because it is a well known place. Bears One stop also has Sears located right by it and connected to it is the hardware store. Across the street there is a bank.
Bears One Stop is a very good place to grab a bite and eat when you’re in a hurry. It is a very organized store and someone is always there to help you when you need it. They are always stocking up so they always have what you need.
They have delicious deli products. The people that work there are patient and are kind and friendly to the people that go into the store. They are usually busy during the summer.
Whenever you need something just stop into Bears and they will help you with whatever you need no matter what it is they usually have it in the store.
