QQC #2
Q: Is this a sign to Lara when she was in need? Were there any other signs?
C: Many people had sayings like this to relate to god. When Lara felt in need of help, she turned to god's church. When she heared the music from the chior, she thought of life and how god gave human's a voice for a reason. Is this what inspired her to stand up to the man that abused her? To me this says that not only words come from songs, but life and feeling flow with every word that is said in a song. When Lara was in need, she found hope through music.

Story
10. Once upon a time there were 4 wonderful students in Ms. Guerrero class. Their names were Rosalie, Candy, Strawberry, and Zafrina. The girls were in there class room working diligently on their essays due tomorrow! The weather outside was getting dark and suddenly a tornado hit the school. Next thing they knew, they were in the French Revolution! The kind fairy, Princess Angela Guerrero, flew towards us and told us the only way we can get out of the French revolution is to research on our futuristic technology called a computer and tells her what the future holds for her. We went on a web site call The San Diego library were we found databases about the civilization of the people in those days and the new history of the western world. After learning about that, we did a summary of the information we found and we turned it into her. She was very excited to see the war was soon over and told us to click our heels together. We poped back to our seats and gave Ms. Guerrero our research that we did and she was thrilled!
