She told them to open them once they got home. Max rode the bus home so he decided to open his report card when he got on the bus just like other kids do.Everybody was lined up when they got their report cards. All of the students were talking about their report card. Max thought he was the most nervous kid in the classroom(he probably was). Once they were going outside to the buses Max remembered that there was an 8th grader who knew how to hack into stuff and how to change. So Max went outside, rode the bus back home but instead of going home, he went to the 8th grader's house because they are best friends and they know where they both live. Max went to his house and told him about his report card. His parents already knew that the reports were going home on Friday so they were excited to see his report card. Max wanted Blake the 8th grader to change hid C’s, D’s, and F’s to straight A’s. “I will try to do that for you, but you will have to owe me back,” said Blake. Max agreed with that and decided to give him $10. Max gave Blake his report card. Max was going to go back home because his parents would’ve been worried if he …show more content…
They stared at that report card for 5 minutes. His parents told him “good job” and “we knew you could do it. Max went back to Tyler’s room and told him that they felt for it.

The real one had the same teacher and the fake one also had the same teacher. The next day Alexis called Mrs. Janette to make a parent teacher conference. Mrs. Janette said that she available today at 12:00 so Alexis scheduled it for 12:00. Max woke up and Alexis told him that she had a parent-teacher conference with Mrs. Janette.

In 1776, David McCullough gives a vivid portrayal of the Continental Army from October 1775 through January 1777, with sharp focus on the leadership of America’s greatest hero, George Washington. McCullough’s thesis is that had not the right man (George Washington) been leading the Continental Army in 1776, the American Revolution would have resulted in a vastly different outcome. He supports his argument with a critical analysis of Washington’s leadership during the period from the Siege of Boston, through the disastrous defense of New York City, the desperate yet, well ordered retreat through New Jersey against overwhelming odds, and concludes with the inspiring victories of Trenton and Princeton. By keeping his army intact and persevering through 1776, Washington demonstrated to the British Army that the Continental Army was not simply a gang of rabble, but a viable fighting force. Additionally, Mr. McCullough supports his premise that the key to the survival of the American Revolution was not in the defense of Boston, New York City, or any other vital terrain, but rather the survival of the Continental Army itself. A masterful piece of history, 1776 is not a dry retelling of the Revolutionary War, but a compelling character study of George Washington, as well as his key lieutenants, and his British adversaries, the most powerful Army in the 18th Century world. When I read this book, I went from a casual understanding of the hero George Washington to a more specific understanding of why Washington was quite literally the exact right man at the exact right place and time to enable the birth of the United States.
