ENGLISH CLASS
WHAT WE'RE
UP TO...
What were you up to in English Class last week?
"Well, we learned about fact and opinion. Opinion is like someone saying "I don't like Pumpkins" and Fact is like "The Sun is bright, or something like that." So opinion is something somebody says that isn't really true, and fact is something that can be proven. ...wait... are you writing this down!?"
ASK YOURSELF:
If my opinion is DIFFERENT from yours, does that make me WRONG?
TATYANA HARRIS WEIGHS IN:
Fact:
A statement
that can be
proven.
IN FRANCE THEY SPEAK FRENCH. THEY DO NOT EAT FRENCH FRIES.
The French may have given us the hot air balloon, the sewing
machine, and the two piece bikini, but they have absolutely
no claim to our sinful and salty American delight. But the fry
wasn't cooked first in America either. In fact, the ORIGINS of the
French Fry can be traced to Belgium where historians (people who study a specific time in history) claim that potatoes where fried as far back as the late 1600s. According to local Belgium lore, villagers mainly ate fish caught from local rivers and streams. However, during the winter months the cold water would turn to ice and made fishing impossible. Enter the potato, where the Belgium peasants would fry strips in animal fat. YUM!
