This excuse, "Students did not think they were insulting the American flag", does not hold true. When someone takes a lighter and clicks it on, they are bringing forth fire to destroy it. That's disrespectful and has absolutely nothing to do about the mistreatment of Africian-Americans. For that matter, neither does looting, breaking windows, hurting people, and setting buildings on fire. Africian-Americians have been grossly mistreated all through history. No one can deny this. In my opinion, they have had it. The pot boiled over. Their reactions should not come as any surprise, but enough was enough. Now they are being noticed. It's just too bad they had to resort to burning our flag along with other violations for people to notice.
Percy has so much trouble deciding whether to stay year round or go to seventh grade. If he went to 7th grade he would be able to see his mom more often but if he decided to stay year round he would be able to interact with people just like him.
"B. The only scary part of deep-sea fishing <span>happened when the fish was pulled onto the boat" is the only sentence that has a passive verb (was pulled) since this verb is happening TO the fish instead of the fish "doing" the verb to something else. </span>
