I am Prometheus!  I am the one who gave man fire.  I think that i sometimes think before I act and other times I don't.  I thought about asking all of those anoying questions to Zues and thought it would be hilarious.  And it was.  Although I did not listen to Zues when he said NOT to give fire to man because I thought it would make watching them more interesting.  Not thinking before I acted was how I ended up at the top of a mountain with two vultures picking at my stomach.  Ishould think before I act and should not do what I am told not to do.

There is one thing that  I think that would be good to use in a speech.  It is facebook pages for kids.  Many people have them but lots of others don't.  There are two sides, the ones who think that they are perfect fine for kids, and the ones who think that they are not prefectly safe for kids to use and chat with friends.  This topic would be good because you can use presuasive elements to convince the other side to your side.  This would be a good topic for our class because many people in our class I am sure have facebook pages.  These are the reasons I think that facebook pages for kids would be a good speech topic.

What is the most important part of society in the United States? The government is taking tax money away and spending it on what, fighting in another country! I think the top three priorities for budget in the United States of America should be education, heathcare, and social security. I would not fund defence first unless there was some sort of attack on the U.S. itself. Education should be our major prioritie because the next generation is who will be leading the country and the world and finding cure for cancer and other medical problems. Heathcare is way too expensive. In Canada heathcare is mostly free where as in the U.S. it cost a lot and is almaost always too expensive for the normal American. Social security should be better because the people who protect us and have been injured doing something for our country are having a hard time paying pills. In the end what do we the tax payers really pay for? Ask yourself and think about what we really should be paying for.

In LA we read a poem called "Holes in Your Sidewalk".  It means what you keep doing that is pulling you down in life.  The hole in my sidewalk is arguing with my brother.  I fall in because he always gets what he wants no matter what!  Also he never shares anything.  He hogs the TV all day long so I never get to watch anything unless my parents kick him off the TV.  I do realize that I sometimes I do that and that I should be nice. In conclusion I think we should both be nicer to eachother and get rid of both of the holes in our sidewalks.

A Storm Called Change

  At first it was predicted to not be in range.

Years of lies and deceit

We had taken enough but scared to fight back, scared of defeat.

Years passed and years went.

Now all the money is gone and spent.

The storm grew slowly but is now out of control.

It started as a whimper and over the years grew into a vigilant patrol.

When I heard of the storm it made my heart ring think “could this be what I was waiting for? ”

The people have woke up and realized the storm is at their door.

“The storm is coming the storm is near.”

The time has come it’s time for change.

It’s never too late in this day and age.

A storm is approaching its called change.

Juan Socarraz

In this poem the author states that change is like a storm. Change starts small and grows bigger and bigger till it reaches your door step where you have to make a choice. This poem relates to the world because when chage starts some people don't notice and then it the change gets bigger and then people change.

In A Christmas Carol the main character learns what really maters in life.  He learns that he can not live without his family.  My answer is that I could not live without my family and friends.  With out them I would be lost in life.  My answer is similar by both me and him need our families.

A perfect setting for a mystery is scary, spooky, and makes you look behind your shoulder to see if anything is there. I think that a perfect setting for a mystey would be in the middle of the woods at midnight. This is a good setting because many weird things happen in the woods. Here is a description. A dark pine woods on a Saturday night, only the charecter is out in the woods. They are all alone aand here so many creepy sounds. This is my description of a mysterious setting and why it would be perfect. 

Fear can make you do crazy things. One thing that happens is you start to belief in things that are not true. After that you usually make others look like it is them people around you that don't look like they are doing "normal" stuff. You feel as though they are the ones or one doing everything to you and it is their fault. Fear does many things to you, but it mostly makes you lose your common sense.

"Rikki-tikki-tavi" is a great story. One reason I like it is because it is like a clifthanger book all rapped in a short story. For example when Rikki-tikki is fighting Nags and the other snakes you want to just keep reading till you are done.  Another reason "Rikki-tikki-tavi" is my favorite story is because there is a lot of irony in it. An example of irony is when the bird starts singing Rikki-tikki's "death song" you know Rikki-tikki is fine because the bird is sooooo stupid. These are the two mane reasons that "Rikki-tikki-tavi" is my favorit story.

I would hire myself for many reasons.  I am a responsible person who always gets their work in and I would not have to worry about somebody losing the work. Another reason I would hire myself is because I would get to do two different jobs and see different point of views. The final reason I would hire myself is because I am a very organized person and nothing would get lost. That is why I would hire myself.

School can be fun and it can also be boring sometimes, but it is mostly fun. One reason school is fun because you can share a locker with one of your friends and meet new people you would never meet if you dd not go to school. school can be boring when you take tests. for example when you have to take CSAP's it is boring and when you are done all you can do is sit there. Another reason school is fun is you get to learn new things. An example is when you go on field trips you learn a lot when you are having fun. In the end i think school is mostly fun.
