Archibald Baxter

“NO I will not put that on,” I howled at the guard.

“You have to...” replied the guard.

“But I don’t want to put it on,” I yelled

“Then you well have to go to prison for 84 days,” he exclaimed to me. “You will also spend most of your time in solitary confinement with only bread and water to eat and drink.”

As I sat in the old, dark cell by myself, I was getting tired and dizzy. I was locked away from sunlight and trapped in the hands of darkness. I was losing more of my health by the minute. I was thinking to myself that I could be dying. I was so hungry, I felt like I could eat anything I could see. My stomach was as loud as a tiger’s roar. I was going to let go, till I thought what would happen.

“If you give up that would mean you would surrender and throw away everything you believe in!” I said to myself.

I was getting so sick and tired of being in this place I didn't care what they would do to me, all I cared about was that the army would not take my freedom.  As I was staring into space and daydreaming about my family I hoped they were alright and that nothing bad would happen to them. I was so worried one of my brothers would be forced to participate in  war. I was thinking of all the bad stuff that could happen to them. Time was going by so slow in there. I was so relieved that I had only 42 day left. As I went to sleep that night I felt frightened. The next day I was shaking like I had stage fright which would never go away. I was so hot, I felt like I was on fire I needed to cool down. After 1 more week went by I was thin like a stick. I barely had any fat on me. I was drawing on the wall so I could know how many days I had left. Once I looked at the roof in the middle of the night it felt like time stopped right then. It was a cold  winter day. I knew that if I hadn’t refused to fight in the war I would not need to be here but I would have to kill people.

Thank you letter to Damon at the Mindlab

Dear Damon:

Thank you for letting my class from Christ the King School come to the Mindlab on 7th June Tuesday. It was an amazing time for me. My favourite part was playing with the robots.
I would love to come back to the Mindlab so I could learn more about 3D printers and more.

Oscar Romero report

Oscar Romero

Oscar Romero was a kind hearted man. He was born on August 15th 1917 in Ciudad, El Salvador. He was a person who wanted to help the poor. Oscar Romero spoke up for the rights of the poor people because they were voiceless. His passion for the poor was formed when his close friend Rutilio Grande was murdered by assassination because the government wanted him to stop speaking on behalf of the poor.

After Oscar Romero changed he felt that it was a time to change how the poor and tortured people of El Salvador where being treated. He started talking on the radio station and spreading the Christian message to all of El Salvador. The Government was angry at Oscar because they did not want him to spread the Christian message. They thought that it might make the soldiers leave the army and stop doing the cruel things on behalf of the government.

Oscar Romero died on 24th of March 1980 at San Salvador. He died at a church  that was called the Divine Providence church. He died because the government sent an assassin to kill him to stop him spreading the message for the poor.
