In English, we read Chapter 7 and 8 from Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane. Here are the questions we answered in class.

Chapter 7
Questions
Do you think this is a fair way to look at what had occurred?
Henry was looking for solace and justifications for his actions. Do you think he found them? What is the significance of his finding a dead body instead?
Chapter 8
Questions
What realization has Henry arrived at here?
What makes Henry uncomfortable in this place?
Why would Henry not want to talk about the battle?
Do you think there is a central moral or theme in this chapter? Why not, or what is it?

In Health, we learned about the Respiratory System. All of the systems in your body work together. Each system has its own job to do, but each system also depends on the others. You will see how this works as you learn about the respiratory system. The respiratory system is the system that takes in oxygen that you need to live and gets rid of the carbon dioxide wastes from the cells. It includes your nose, nasal passages, windpipe, lungs, and diaphragm. Every minute, your respiratory system breathes in about thirteen pints of air. It starts with your nose. You inhale fresh air about twenty times every minute. The air is drawn through your nasal passages, which clean the air by filtering out particles that you wouldn't want in your lungs. Mucus takes care of this part of the job. That's why it's so sticky, to capture unwanted stuff in the air. Sometimes, when your nose feels like getting rid of this yucky stuff fast, you sneeze.
