He was a inventor who created a light bulb and he did many things. then He was a printer. When he was ten years old he had worked with his father. It suprised me that at ten years old he worked with his father as a printer thats young, and now days Today life is way different because you don't have to worry about the boston tea party and stuff like that .

ABout money

Are people actions driven by money?
Yes they are.

Does money lead to happiness?
Well it depends if the person has always wanted something expensive and couldn't afford it, but now since they have the money they can get it. So I would say yes it does make happiness.

Are the people that have money any better than those that don't?
Not really because, being wealthy is not always a good thing because most rich peole they will have a 50% chance of getting robbed or something happening to there money.

How do the wealthy get their money? Was it their work or others work that makes them rich?
Well they can get many ways, they can get it buy saving up there money from since they were kids or you can save the money when you get paid from work. Sometimes its other work that gets them paid, like the iphone or applications that they had invented for the phone, but the Apple people get there money.
Is it the responsibility of those that have money to share with others? yeah only if you want to, I would make a homeless shelter for the homeless people that they will be able to get an education and beds and showers and all that stuff, and they will have to pay rent like $50 a month to stay but they will get jobs so they can pay. so yeah they should share the money.

In the woods


McPherson Woods by Douglas Tomlinson

I see in the woods the Confederate soldiers,
They killed they Union soldiers,
There is blood everywhere,
Thousands of bodies laying there on the ground,

Being surrounded by the Confederate soldiers,
They got in a war,
The union soldiers failed against this war,
The confederate soldiers are waiting in the woods for more union soldiers to come,

Blood and guts everywhere too,
I see dead people,
The smell is horrible,
The smells of the bodies are terrible and they have been rooting on the ground for a while.


I can sense that someone is coming,
I run to my bag and get the gun,
I take the gun and the confederate soldier,
I died.

Hospital tent poem


“The Hospital Tent” By Douglas Tomlinson



There are so many bodies laying around,
The doctor is going to amputate there parts,
The doctor is getting ready to amputate this guys arm,
The man who is going to get amputated is scared and he has to bite on some wood



His arm is being cut off,
There is blood everywhere,
It’s horrifying to watch,
I am surprised that the man isn’t dead.



The smell is really gross,
Everywhere I go the smell gets worse and worse,
It seems like the smell is following me,
There is blood and guts all over the people and floor.\


There is blood all of the bread basket of this one guy,
He will not be fighting again,
Everywhere you look there is arms and legs around you,

Doug's Fight

I got in a fight with my sister. I was so mad at her because she kept bothering me about playing a game with her. So do help me calm down I went outside and just fell in the grass or I would drive to the lake and fish. I am a nonviolence person, I hate fighting its wrong.
