The Lakers are a well known team in the NBA. The Lakers are from Minneapolis, but the Lakers are in LA now. The Lakers are a great team. When I was young I always wanted to play for the Lakers. Well let me tell u a little history on the Lakers. Well the Lakers first started in1947-48 in Minneapolis. The team entered the NBL also known as the National Basketball League. That year the Lakers made it to the Finals. The Lakers Won the Championship that year also. In the season of 1948-49 the Minneapolis Lakers and couple more teams joined the Basketball association of America. Well in the finals of 1948-49 the Lakers was facing the Washington Capitols. The Lakers and Capitols had a good battle, but the Lakers won the BAA championship. The Lakers were unstoppable. After that Season the BAA and NBL Joined together and the NBA was born. The NBA consisted of 17 teams competing in three divisions. The Lakers were in the Central Division the NBA strongest Division. Ending the regular season the Lakers had a 51-17 Record. The Lakers made it to the NBA playoffs. The Lakers made their way to the NBA finals. The Lakers where Facing the Syracuse Nationals. The Lakers Won the NBA’s First Championship. The next year 1950-51 the NBA dropped down to 11 teams. That means the NBA only had two Divisions. The Divisions were The Eastern and Western. The Lakers were in the western division. The Lakers were favored to win the championship this year too. The Lakers made it to the NBA Finals against Rochester Royals. The Lakers won the First game in a best out of five series. The royals were not hearing that. The royals won three straight games to win the championship. In 1952-53 the Lakers were claimed as the first NBA dynasty.
The Lakers also had there share of Superstars. The Lakers First Superstar that I know of was Jerry West. Jerry west was great player. The first time I seen a jerry west highlight was wit my dad. I seen shot the ball from the other side of the court at the buzzer for a game winning shot. Then I find out that The NBA logo of the man dribbling the ball is Jerry west. Then the next is Wilt chamberlain he was like seven foot tall. He is the only person I know of to score 100 points in a NBA Game. In 1979 the Lakers drafted Earvin “Magic” Johnson. Magic was a great player. Magic earned the first of three finals MVP awards. In 1986-87 Magic won his first NBA MVP award and he won his first finals MVP award. In 1991 Magic Retired and he told the world he had HIV. In 1995 the Lakers got Shaquille O'Neal from Orlando. Shaq is a beast. Nobody could stop Shaq he was quick and powerful. The Lakers had a good team in 1995 they had Shaq, Robert Horry, Nick Van Exel, Eddie Jones, Elden Campbell, and a rookie by the name of Kobe Bryant. Kobe was outstanding in the rookie game he score 31 points. Kobe and Shaq took over in 1999. They won their first championship in 1999. Then they won their second title in 2000. Then for a third time they did it again in 2001. They won three championships back to back to back. In 2004 the Lakers traded Shaq to Miami. With out Shaq, Kobe just went crazy with the rock. Kobe was a one man team. One game Kobe scored 81 points in a game against the Raptors. The Lakers were great team, but they are getting even better. So when u see the colors Purple and gold you gone think about the Lakers.

American Romanticism
2. in the story rip van winkle i found two examples of romanticism. one is that he feel asleep for 20 years. its kind of crazy to sleep for 20years with out waking up.to rip van wrinkle is that he was only sleep for one night but it was 20years. "Rip’s story was soon told, for the whole twenty long years had been lost to him but only one night". and another example of romanticism is whenhis heart died."Rip’s heart died away at hearing of these sad changes in his home and
friends, and finding himself thus alone in the world."
3.its about a this person scared to die. so he went to ask mother natural and she told him that is nothing to be scared of and when he did the same thing gone happen to him like it would happen to a king nothing different gone happen to him.when u die you will have more company in the ground then when u was alive.
The Ropewalk
the point of the poem is that rope can bring happiness and saddness. the rope brings joy to the little boy with the kite and its brings sadness to the prisoner thats bout to be hanged.the part that stands out to me is that the man looking at the rope before he dies and the lilttle boy with the kite.rope walk its a good example of Romanticism cause the man in the factory is imaging all that stuff happening
friends, and finding himself thus alone in the world."

The Puritans
The Puritans
The puritans had crazy briefs. they said everybody was born a sinner. They also said God only save. they said everybody else was going to hell. And There was no way to earn the Grace of God.all sinners in the hand of god should go to hell. and hell is right below us. the rationalist believed that human society run on natural laws. if people know these laws they could improve there lives.
Plymouth Plantation:
They where poor people who came to America for a new life. when they got here they were lonely and they had no home. they was unsure what to do when they got there. they would seen Indians and when they tired to talk to them the Indians would run in to they wood. they people did not really have nothing. no food no shelter. and plus they were not use to the weather. half of the 100 people dies cause of falling sick. they one who were not sick helped take care of the sick ones
Sinners in the hands of god
the Puritans believe that we stand in the hand of god over hells pits. to you believe in Christ you ain't nothing to god. and god wrath never stops like a river. and no matter what everybody going to hell. Jesus only died for a few. they believe there is nothing between you and hell but air and gods hand. gods hand is the only reason you ain't fell to hell.
Unconditional Election
god only save a few. i seen this in sinners in the hand of god. if you did not believe in Christ you would feel gods wrath. and that he holds you up from falling to hell. and god only saves those who he wishes.... " Jesus did not die for all "

"the puritans believed after adam and eve fall everybody esle was born a sinner"
the Rationalists
they difference between puritans and rationalist is that puritans believe that god is responible for everything. and Rationalist believe things were ran by natural law.
examples of the difference is evolution. purtians whould say evolution happened cause god want it to . the Rationalist would say the animal had to adapt to its surrounding.
The Autobiography by Benjamin Franklin
