    Red White And Black Chapter 5 Summary

    Red, White, and Black, Chapter 5, by Gary B. Nash talks about many different wars, rebellions, and colonization's that go on with the coastal societies in the 1600s.

    Life Line/Brick Essay

    To everyone Alex was just an average person. He looked like every fifteen year old boy: scraggly, scrawny, and chicken legged. He had curly, dark brown hair and eyes like emeralds. He had a big nose, but it was cute in a strange way, and bushy eyebrows that drew attention to his stunning eyes. His thin lips hid his toothy smile, and the one tooth that was nicknamed "Fang." Like most boys his age, his face was littered with countless pimples and zits. His ears were too large for him but they added to his character. He stood about five foot eight, but you could never tell because of his awful posture.…
