The theme in the book Divided we Fall, is fight for what is right. This means stand up for what you believe is right and true, and defend it. Wright believes that the Governor of Idaho is right and decides to fight for him. When the troops come to his mansion to arrest him, Wright is one of the soldiers who does not let that happen. Without Wright there, the Governor would of been arrested or even killed. Wright also goes to a "training" on the edge of the border of Idaho. If Wright had not of done this, the federal government would of come into Idaho and take over. This would lead to the arrest of the Governor. Wright also stands up for his squad in his social studies class. He says "That is the problem, the rioters, the protestors, they were not peaceful at all." (page 72). Wright not only stands up in front of his class, but also his girlfriend. That is not an easy task, especially for such a controversial issue like the "shooting" in Boise. The theme fight for what is right, is conveyed several times by Wright in this book.
"You,ve no idea what its been like, seeing that girl in my nightmares" (pages 104)-Wright. Wright does regret his actions on that Friday night in Boise. He was fighting for what is right. He also continued to stand up for him, his squad, and the Governor, throughout the book. He never goes against them. What the soldiers and Wright did was right and just. They had their orders and they followed them. The protestors were not friendly, they were violent. That,s why chaos broke out. Wright accidentally fired his gun. Wright also fights for what is right when he runs from the FBI. He ends up driving 150 mph in order to outrun them because he dos'nt want to get caught. HE knows he did'nt do anything wrong, but the President disagrees. This supports the theme fight for what is right because it displays standing up for what you be live in. Dainel Wright has always fought for what is right. He has even voiced that opinion . Daneil Wright is a hero and should be treated as one. Daniel wright is the definition of the theme in this book, "fight for what is right".

Thinking about writing
For the most part my revisons were mostly granatical. Having not put a period now and there, or a comma. I had some wording that was off too. At first i did not know that we had to quote quotes in a special way, so i had to change that too.
In my opinion the peer review helped the most. I felt that my peers reviwed this very carefully and i ended up succeding because of this. I think students know what we are learning and what to look for, much more so than parents do.
The best way to help me learn more is to have more peer colaberation and just losten in class. Peer collbalarion helps with getting to know others style of reading, and possibly apply that to your own blog.
I feel that as a writer my grammar needs the most improvment. Without realizing it, I can get very slopy gramaticaly, and miss stupid points because of spelling something wrong. Perfecting this would greatly help me succede in English and in writing in general.
