fixing the paragraph

Indian reservations are areas of land given to Native American tribes by the United States Government. In the 1850-60s the Government decided to move Indians to land that was unwanted by settlers. Many of the tribes did not want to move to new lands and refused. Soon the Government sent in the U.S. Army and forced them to move to the new reservation lands. This caused many bloody wars between the Indians and the U.S. Army. Eventually, most Indians moved to the reservations. Today, reservations are run by their own tribal council, and less than half of Indians live on the reservations. Many of the Indians who live off the reservations live in large Western cities, like Phoenix and Los Angeles.

One of My senses.

If I could keep one of my senses it'd probably be tasting. I love food and drinks and it would suck if I couldn't taste what I was eating. I probably wouldn't eat if I couldn't taste it.
Sight would probably be in second place because I could learn sign language easily and it would just be crappy to be blind. I love looking at beautiful things and people. I would definitely be missing out on life if I couldn't see the world.

New family tradition

I have my favorite aunt and my three baby cousins living in Idaho. If I could choose something that we do every year for the holidays then I'd probably say no matter what, we either have to go to Idaho or they have to come to Oregon. I barely see them anymore and I miss them all a ton! I get to see them in the summer and they come to town randomly, but I would love for our family to be together on the holidays because that's all that matters to me. I don't wanna grow apart from my family.

About my personality

I have a very happy, outgoing, funny personality (except for when I'm mad). I'm very nice. I have a hard time focusing on things I'm not really interested in. I get angry very easily. Mostly when people say the wrong thing. When I'm mad I will yell, take it out on walls, or find any reason to start an argument with someone. When I'm happy I am extremely nice and I'll do things to help others. My friends say I'm very fun to be around and I'm good at making awkward situations less awkward. They love how I can have fun no matter where we're at or what we're doing.

Favorite TV show/ My favorite Holiday

I am more of a reality TV person. I like reality shows like the real world, Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, or The Kardashians. I like those shows because they are real and not just people acting it out. Yes, I like fake/acted shows to like Ghost Hunters or George Lopez but I think reality shows are so much more interesting.

My favorite holiday would probably have to be Christmas. I don't like Christmas because of all the gifts, but I like it because no matter what, on Christmas all of our family always gets together. I get to see all my baby cousins and aunts/uncles. I'm really excited for this years Christmas because my sister and I are thinking about driving to Idaho to visit my three cousins and my favorite aunt instead of them coming here! I also like Christmas because we always make the best sweets in the world! My favorite would probably be the almond roca and choc brownies with this cream cheese stuff on top.

How do Junior & Rowdy look at the world differently?

Rowdy just kind of takes whatever he has and lives with it. He doesn't really try to accomplish things it seems. He just goes with the flow and beats people up to make himself feel better. While Junior wants a future and is moving forward by going to a bigger and better school instead of staying at the other school learning nothing pretty much. It seems like Rowdy feels like he doesn't really have anything coming for him and feels like life is nothing. Then there is Junior who feels like he can do stuff and wants to do stuff so he does the right thing and goes to school in a way different environment.
