this is gabby

Hi, this is Gabriella Murillo, and I am here to tell you about John Langdon as the 1st person. I hope you enjoy my blog,

Thanks,
Gabby :)

John Langdons friend?

I would want to be John Langdon's friend. He seems educated, and knows what he is doing. John Langdon was a very important person, and knows a lot. I would come to him if I needed help with something, or if I wanted to talk about doing a job.
However, I would not be buddy-buddy with him, because he sounds and looks too serious.

Reflection

This project taught me a lot about my character, John Langdon. John Langdon played a minor role in the Revolutionary War, but did a lot for Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I had one problem with this project. It was a bit hard to find facts from books, because there was only so little about him that made him important.
All in all, this project did turn out pretty good. I would say that I am satisfied.

the beginning

My name is John Langdon. I was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on June 26, 1741. The land there was beautiful with green fields, delicious crops, and much more. My father was a farmer and a local politician. I attended the local grammar school, and was very happy living where I was.
