This book was a great deal for me. Wallis, was girl who had meant stuffy the boy who was in the neighborhood. Stuffy was clever boy about making all those things he wanted to do. I enjoyed the book very much!

I Have A Dream

I a have a dream that all men are created equal because truth is beauty and beauty is truth and in whose eyes the beauty of genuine brotherhood, and peace is more precious that diamonds silve or gold, thats why I have a dream. The paragraph above, is a small portion of Martin Luther King Jr's speech named I have a dream. It was a terrible day when Martin was shot (by James Earl Ray). Martin wanted everybody to be created equal and tried to hard to accomplish his goal. Today his hardwork has paid off. Just look around, all people, black, white, everybody, are treating each other equally and that, was/is dream. Martin was very succesful in school, he was smart, handsom, and athletic, he always put his studies first. When he got out of college he followed his fathers steps as a pastor and started the civil rights movement. One day while signing a book he wrote, he was stabbed but after awhile. After a few years he was awarded the Noble Peace Prize. His wife Coreta was always supporting him and the day Martin gave his speech was the day heshowed the world the dream he had!
