4/19/11 APK: The natives of Mexico that lived in California By offering $30 million for land They said they were going to talk to the Mexicans and ended up bringing a whole group and mexicans shot us on our soil. It seems like that was kind of set up James Polk Kruney, Taylor, Fremont, Scott California, Mexico, New Mexico to settle the border dispute =War that can be avoided has started!= Obtain Disapproval. I chose this because some people did not want the war with Mexico and felt that it could be avoided. =﻿Another Fine Win in the War at Sante Fe= Snob Appeal. I chose this type of propoganda because the Americans were on a winning streak and the soliders probably thought they were on top of the world and so were the rest of the Americans gaining a bunch of land. =﻿A Small, Charming, Heroic Group of Americans Take Over California= Glittering Generalizations. I chose this type of propoganda because a small group of Americans took over California. I think they were using less men because they were getting a little cocky with all there wins and thought they could get away with less and less people. =﻿Santa Anna the Weak and Frighten Fled the Scene as We Took Mexico= Name Calling. We were sick of Santa Anna and Mexico thinking they were better than us. When Santa Anna fled it wasn't only a political victory it was a personal victory. =﻿America is at peace again= Plain folks. This type of propoganda is plain and to the point like the war ending with so much sucess.

Monday, April 11, 2011 A revolution is a rebellion against something. It can also be when some big change happens within a country.

Wednesday, April 6, 2011 When I moved I was pretty scared. I had never even seen the house let alone see at least what my new room looked like. It was scary getting to the new house and it was a loud and noisy car ride. Music was blasting and the trailer hooked to the back of your family truck didn't help my churning stomach by making the truck bounce more. It was nice outside though. When we got there I saw a small house with a big backyard. I went inside and saw my room then went for a walk around the yard. I saw a frog hopping around on the ground and it kind of scared me. It was the first time I really saw a frog. That was the scariest thing that day. The best thing was when all my stuff was in my room and I got to move and decorate myself.
