And now Sepia... Haha! James and Fabian are in the background!

 

Hello Bloggers and Bloggees! Due to the fact that I really appreciate people who don’t give out their life stories, and goals upon meeting them for the first time, so I will return the favor. My name is Terrina, but I prefer Maddy. I think it’s only appropriate to tell you the basics (requirements for grade). My role model is my little sister. Terrnika is more responsible  than me and without her my derriere would be permanently scarred. She has that “logical thinking”,

and “common sense” that everyone has been telling me about. So far the highlight of my life has been being able to visit Niagara Falls in Canada and conquering my fear of Ferris Wheels at Six Flags. I hope my future holds money, and “true happiness” although money and happiness fall in the same category in my book.  
    

  





Anna

And now Pop Art...

I am Anna. I would like for people to know more than just my name, unlike my associate. I love movies (Titanic, The Secret Life of Bees, and She’s the Man being my favorites). I absolutely enjoy reading, though I have no one favorite book. My favorite season is fall, and my favorite time of day is dinnertime. I look up to my parents and my step mom, because they seem to have done all right for themselves, and they raised me, so they must be spectacular ☺. The highlight of my life (so far) has been writing this blog. I’m joking, but it’s important to make your readers feel special. In the future, I look forward to graduating from an Ivy League School, preferably far, far away, and becoming a bizillionaire. I hope you enjoy reading It’s All Been Done Before!

We Are... Alice Paul

Alice Paul was a woman suffragette. Suffragette seems like a funny word huh? Well there's nothing funny about what the suffragettes did or what they stood for. Alice Paul and her colleagues formed the NWP (National Women's Party). NWP fought for women's rights and equality. They used tactics such as picketing, strikes, protests, parades, mass meetings, etc. They were given media coverage, and were included in Suffarage Weekly. To Paul and the NWP picketing was no stranger, but in 1917 they took it to the extreme. The NWP staged a picket on the White House! This stunt ended them up in the "big house". They were incarcerated at Occoquan Workhouse (VA). Their protesting didn't stop. They went on a hunger strike! The hunger strike is one of my favorites, because like Anna I too enjoy dinner time, and I'm sure you do to. To give up eating I think it just shows how stubborn and persistent women can be! :) Anyways, because they absolutely refused to eat they were forced raw eggs, and the like through tubes that were in their nose! In 1920 all the hard work of the NWP paid off; women were finally permitted to vote! I think our class is similar to Paul and NWP because we are very stubborn, maybe not for the same reasons but none the less stubborn. Although we aren't as dedicated, hardworking, persevering, and motivated as Paul and her Suffragettes I think these are qualities that are worth having. We should hope to be like the Suffragettes and Paul. In fact, We Are... Alice Paul!
