ERA

1. I think that the ERA wasn't a good idea. It was a bad idea because women are not equally made to men. It was a good idea for having equal job rights and equal pay so that men and women would get they same amount of money for the job they are doing. It was a bad idea because if there was a military draft they would have to sign up. Most women wouldn't be able to fight in a war because most of them wouldn't to. I think that the ERA had some good ideas but the bad ideas overpowered the good ones.

2. I don't think it needs to be brought up again in court. It does not need to be brought up again because women have most of they same rights as men do. One reason it might be brought back up in court because of some discrimination that is put towards women and being a housewife. Some women choose to be housewife's and some don't. I think that people wont change their ways even if the ERA is passed or not.

Jackie Robinson

        I feel that Jackie Robinson deserves to be ranked as one of the greatest civil rights figures in American history. I feel that he isn't the greatest civil rights figure but he is up there with Rosa Parks and M.L.K. Jackie is a great figure because he was able to break the "color barrier" in the white baseball league. He had to not fight back to all the remarks that were made by the players and the people in the crowd. He was able to over come everything and be the first African American baseball player in the white baseball league. I feel that Jackie Robinson is one of the greatest civil rights figure in American history.

Big Boy Bombaroo

The Zooks and the Yooks both meet at the wall. Both the Zook and the Yook had their bombs ready for battle. They were both scared of the outcomes of the bombs, so the Zook and the Yook talked over the consequences.    They both know that the Big Boy Bombaroo can cause some serious damage. So the Zook and the Yook talked over their differences of buttering their bread, they said who cares. The Zooks and the Yooks took down the wall and lived together, saying you can butter your bread how ever you please.
The End.
