by Zoe Januszewski // What is [|primogeniture] ? Consider the roots //**prime** //and// **gen//**. Write the **definition** of primogeniture. What would be some other **options** to make money if **you** **won't** **inherit** any **wealth**? The prefix prime means main or first; also the suffix gen means birth, so the word primogeniture means the first-born. Bu unfortunately the people that developed this word failed to add the part that includes male, because this word, if you were to look it up in the dictionary means the first born male, but it also means the first born boy inherits all their parents possetions.

When **you** have your own **family**, how will **you** spread out **your** **wealth**? When you write a will, will it be **static** (fixed) law or **dynamic** (flexible)? Will you give to only your children? Pets? Other relatives? Friends? How will you **determine** this? When I have my own family, And I pass away I will try do distribute my possetions to my family, friends, or animals evenly. I would try to keep these promises on my will static. Because I believe that everybody has a purpose, but they should earn that purpose by learning wishing earning and many more positive things. I would determine this by reminding them how amazing it is to be alive, and that knowledge is power, also I would wish a happy life for them. I would not determine this by how smart they are, or if they were the first born, I would distribute this equally between my family, some to my very good friends, and some to charity or the homeless

If this law were in effect in the United States today, would that be **beneficial** to you or a **detriment**? Why or why not? In fact, this concept is unofficially still in effect in many other countries around the world... If this were a law in the united states, and it were in effect it would be partly beneficial, but it may be a little detriment or harmful to me. Both of these are: it may b beneficial because I am the first born, but I am not a male so by this law these possetions would be split equally by law anyways. Although my parents would probably split the money to be fair even if this weren’t the case. But this is benefited for me because it is split equally (what I want). And it is harmful because I think this system is not fair, because sure knowledge is power, but money is even more powerful, unfortunately.

Chapter 12 1/2

"Oh Marilla! Diana and I had the most wonderful time today. We played in her garden where she has the most magnificent little house with a kitchen that has pots and pans and little play food and a family room with a couch and everything!" Anne exclaimed all at once as she ran through the door.

"Oh, dear child, how wonderful it is that you have made a friend, but you mustn't get too excited, ... “ said Marilia before Anne interrupted her.

"But she is my bosom friend, and we shall be forever together, and have such a romantic time. We shall have tea parties, and own our castle, and we shall..."

"Heavens child, it is rude to interrupt. And I don't intend for you to spend you whole lives together. Sometimes if you spend too much time with an individual, you will get sick and tired of them."

"Well! How do you go about and tell people not to do things when you are doing the same! You interrupted me, so how does that give you the right to get angry at me about interrupting you."Anne said a little bit annoyed with Marilla.

"Anne Shirley! Do not talk back to me! That is very rude especially to one's own mother!" shouted Marilla in response.

Suddenly, Anne was silent; her emerald eyes twinkling with bewilderment. "You consider me to be your child?" Anne finally replied curiously.

"It doesn't matter.,” whispered Marilla. "Now go to your room in and finish your patchwork before supper."

As she ambled in a daze back to the east gable to finish her patchwork, her long, crimson hair rippled down her back like a wave of inspiration.



As Anne was sewing, she was imagining all of the magical adventures that the two girls would endorse while exploring their humanity of remarkable dreams.

She peered out the glossy window, and was astonished to see the striking face of her beautiful bosom friend, Diana. She screached a piercing whisper to Diana, "We shall run away together to the Lake of Shining Waters, and erect a beautiful sapphire castle, and change our names. Mine shall be Cordelia and yours shall be Aurora. We shall have the most romantic time in our own land called Tulip Grove. In Tulip Grove we can roam around in the tulip fields and have tea parties whenever we desire. We may play our castle game in a real castle made out of only the most elegant sapphires. You and I would wear elegant gowns; yours lavender and mine rose pink. Oh Diana, wouldn't that be the most splendid thing in the world?" Anne was getting so agitated with excitement that she hadn't noticed that she was just imagining Diana. But, she didn't mind. She kept telling "Diana" about her plans when they ran away together to Tulip Grove.

When Marilla called Anne down for supper, she was just sewing up her last stitch of the dreadfully boring patchwork. She came flying down through the halls to the table where supper had been nicely placed on top of a lovely rose tablecloth.

"What are you so pleased about?" Marilla questioned as she put the last few things on the table. "I thought that your hatred for patchwork was as strong as the Hoover Dam? At least, that's what you told me last week."

"Yes Marilla," stated Anne happily, "but I enjoyed patchwork today because I imagined that Diana was sitting there doing patchwork with me. We were chatting about how we wanted to run away together to our own land called Tulip Grove. Oh Marilla, Tulip Grove is the prettiest place I've ever seen. Since it is so beautiful, it is the perfect place for Diana and I. And oh is it ever so dreamy! It was simply magical!"

“ Dear child”, exclaimed Marilia with displeasure, “you need to keep hold of these imaginations, you cant just et them fly around the room, pulling you away form our world, and taking you to a place of nonsense. Not a morsel alive would care about these unordinary illusions that pop into your inventive mind that you come up with. You mustn’t fly away into this world of unlikely and misfit illusions. If you continue these, you will be known as a mad woman, and we shall have to move away, and never be shown in public again.”

“ Oh Marilia, but Diana under stands! Now I really want to run away, you have hurt my feelings dearly, how can you live with yourself if you can put a child in depths of despair so easily.” Anne warned s she flew out the door enraged with the rcent attack that marilla hd made.
