When you are about to make something out of clay-something you want to keep and use--you need to get the clay ready. How do you
do that? The process is called wedging.
Wedging is a way of getting all of the air bubbles out of your clay before you start to shape it into the object you want. Why do you need
the air bubbles out? When you fire your clay plece--that is, when you bake it in a kiln to harden permanently-any air that's trapped inside the
clay will expand in the high heat. Your piece will explode, shattering and breaking other pieces in the kiln.
To wedge your clay, take the lump you plan to work with out of the clay bucket or bag. Cut it in half with a thin wire. Then, either slam the
two sides together, or slam them down hard on the tabletop. Do this until the clay is an even consistency (texture, body), and there are no lumps
or air bubbles-maybe twenty or thirty times.
How can you tell if the bubbles are gone? Slice the clay again with the wire, and look for holes or pockmarks on the cut surface. If you find
some, keep wedging

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

conflicting values are demonstrated between two different groups in animal farm. first, the farm animals value hard work. this is shown by them working late and working long hours at the request of the pigs. napoleon and the pigs, however, sleep late daily. furthermore, the animals value equality. this differs from the value of napoleon and the other pigs. instead of equality, they value only gaining power and maintaining their own privilege, which is demonstrated by their taking extra milk and sleeping in beds.

he is. some of his decisions were very irresponsible and did lead to the death of both romeo and juliet, such as him marrying them too quick or him not clarifying romeo's plan with him.

basically he did not think things through well enough or at all.

hope this
