Coach Munn By Alexis S.

Coach Munn is one of my favorite coaches. Coach Munn has been a football coach for 28 years since 1989. He has been a football coach longer than anyone else I know. His inspiration to start coaching was that he loved watching football games. Coach Munn has always been a huge fan of football. He started coaching football when he was 22 years old.  Now, 28 years later, he is wanting to retire, but I think it’s a bad idea for him to retire. He wants to retire because he is getting tired so often, and it’s just time for him to retire. However, he is still the school counselor at RBMS.

          At Red Bank Middle, Coach Munn is the school counselor for both boys and girls. He became a counselor because he wanted to be a role model and inspire children. He wanted to do this because he likes helping children through whatever they’re going through like bullying. He is the coolest person that I’ve ever met. Coach Munn and Coach LaFevor are the best people to talk to if you have a problem with somebody in my opinion. Coach Munn and Coach LaFevor help students with issues, and they always have a positive attitude. If you need help with anything, go and talk to Coach Munn, Coach LaFevor, Dr. Spates or other teachers. They will help with problems that you have going on at school, on your phone, laptop or ipad.

Have you ever said, “I want to steal, I mean use, this character?” Well too bad, its mine and Brianna’s characters and our article also. I hope you clicked on this to learn about copyright. According to www.dictionary.com, copyright means “the exclusive right to make copies, license, and otherwise exploit a literary, musical, or artistic work, whether printed, audio, video, etc.” Copyright infringement is the act of stealing and profiting off of someone’s work which is not good. It's not just illegal but it’s also a moral issue.  

     Copyright infringement is a big deal, and it can get you into legal trouble. For example, Spotify was hit with a huge lawsuit of 1.6 billion dollars. Yes, that is gigantic for a lawsuit. This lawsuit was filed on January 3rd, 2018. If Spotify loses this lawsuit, they won’t be able to pay the fine. If you don’t think about copyright, you could end up like Spotify and possibly go bankrupt.

Here is what Amazon.com states about this book:

From NYT bestselling author Jennifer A. Nielsen comes a stunning thriller about a girl who must escape to freedom after the Berlin Wall divides her family between east and west.

With the rise of the Berlin Wall, twelve-year-old Gerta finds her family suddenly divided. She, her mother, and her brother Fritz live on the eastern side, controlled by the Soviets. Her father and middle brother, who had gone west in search of work, cannot return home. Gerta knows it is dangerous to watch the wall, to think forbidden thoughts of freedom, yet she can't help herself. She sees the East German soldiers with their guns trained on their own citizens; she, her family, her neighbors and friends are prisoners in their own city.

But one day, while on her way to school, Gerta spots her father on a viewing platform on the western side, pantomiming a peculiar dance. Then, when she receives a mysterious drawing, Gerta puts two and two together and concludes that her father wants Gerta and Fritz to tunnel beneath the wall, out of East Berlin. However, if they are caught, the consequences will be deadly. No one can be trusted. Will Gerta and her family find their way to freedom?"
