Endangered Habitats

We should care that the habitats are in danger because plants and animals are losing their homes and food. Habitats are so important because living things are dependent on them and need them to survive. Its the human environment that is taking away what forests need like cutting down trees and experimenting on life in the woods. Its really a sad thing to see happen to innocent creatures that depend on us to make sure their habitats are safe. We all need to really care if we want to save the plants and animals from extinction. So come together and save the wildlife.

Lord of the Flies. LOF

What I think the Lord of the Flies means is that possibly the island itself could be the lord and the flies are the boys that live on it. It's hard to tell but also Jack or Simon could be the lord and the rest of the boys are flies. I might just go with the island as the lord though. The island is a mystery to the boys and its a large exploration area for them. I think that the island is in control of the boys because its massive and its full of strange creatures and things that it keeps the boys busy and curious. They have pretty much learned how to survive on the island and hunt down the great beast which happens to be a pig. Thats what I think the lord of the flies means.

The Hierarchy of Friends LOF.

Girl- She is the silly one who always has a smile on.
Slackariah- He is always telling a story or trying to go do something fun.
RAD- He is kind of slow sometimes but aren't we all?! He always thinks I am funny so thats all good.
Yvonneahumpalot- She is the excitement in all of my friends. She is ALWAYS fun and funny. Definitely my favorite of them all!
Mr. MeiP- He is the best man. I love Mr. MeiP so much. He is like the funniest person I know ever. Mr. MeiP is my best friend in the whole world.

The Separation LOF.

Ralph has more "power" from what I have been able to see. I say this because I feel he has the power to control people and not be rude about it. He is more of a leader and ruler type. Others follow while he is telling them what need to happen. I think that when they finished, they were on their own terms and were calmer.

Evaluation Day LOF.

I know that Simon faints and then when he is wobbling back to the rest of the people he is mistaken for the beast and is murdered. Then Piggy is hit in the head with a rock by Ralph. I am not going to lie that I haven't really paid that much attention to the story but this is what I know has happened.

LOF Predictions.

I don't know what the beast may be but it could be an animal from the wilderness. It's maybe a bear or a moose or something of that sort. Also it could be one of the group members trying to scare each other.
I know so far that some of the boys do not get along together that well so they might end up hurting one another or maybe killing someone. It has got to be pretty intense out in the wilderness and trying to explore and find food so it could be a battle for the win.

Fear.

My most fearful moments were when I used to have really bad anxiety attacks. When I was in 4th grade I used to get really bad anxiety attacks that lasted for like maybe 5 minutes but it felt like forever. It was the most scariest feeling that I have ever felt. I had to go see a psychiatrist and put on medication. It was that bad. I missed a lot of my forth grade year and almost got held back. The attacks got so bad that I just couldn't go anywhere without my mom. I couldn't be alone because every time I event thought about it, it would happen. I don't know why I used to get them but they said I had a chemical imbalance in my brain. This was the scariest moment I ever had.

Trees.

Trees are very important because they create life for many things. They also shade things in the summer time and they shield things from the rain. Trees are so much more important then people give them credit for. some people actually study trees and make sure other people know about them. The wood from the trees is used for making things like chairs and tables. Also houses are being built from the trees. Trees are an important part of the ecosystem. Some trees serve as Christmas trees or home plants. Trees are awesome to me.

Laws on gun ownership..

I think that laws should definitely tighten the laws on gun ownership. I believe that guns should ONLY be used for PROTECTION. If you have a license for a gun by the government or state then it should be allowed. People who don't have a license should be fined and have further punishment advised by a judge or citizens. It is way to dangerous to just be carrying a gun around without authorization. My dad used to have a gun that he carried in the car for emergencies like if we were getting hurt or robbed or situations like that, but he also had a license for it. ALL guns no matter what kind, should need a license to own.
The Army and Military no doubt about it should have weapons for the war and for training and protecting the U.S.A. I don't believe they should be used otherwise because they are so dangerous and deadly. There have been so many deaths and injuries because of gun uses and fights. Elementary schools have been raided by kids and teens who are violent and have been expose to abuse or the t.v. with people who use guns. Its so dangerous and unsafe to have guns around children and youth. Teen under the influence have had so many deaths because of misuse of weapons. If an adult or parent must have a gun then they need to make sure its somewhere up high and safe out of reach or children and teens. It better to be safe then sorry and find your child dead because of your misplacing a weapon.

An evening with Chris Gardener

(1) I am really looking forward to graduating high school. I wasn't really that into school before and never really cared. Until I started getting in trouble with the law, I started to realize that life is not a game and you need to make a goal to succeed. It got me thinking that I really need to go to school and graduate. I even went to summer school the summer going into freshman year to get a head start. I really want to have a successful life and have money.

(2) For a long time I really wanted to be an infant doctor but then I got involved with the law and I thought I could also make it big as a lawyer or even a judge. I have watched the discovery channel before too and I saw people who were volcanologist and who studied volcanoes. I thought that would be interesting. I also love space and the whole galoxy thing so I wouldn't mind going to space either. All these things I would love to be. I also know that I need to graduate high school and go to college to do these things to do them.

(3) For me to achieve at least one of these goals I need courage, confidence, self-respect, support, brains, patients, love, back bone, and respect for others too. I do understand the reality of these things too. I know that its not going to be easy to be these things. I am going to need a lot of schooling outside of high school and focus. But I believe that if I really want it then I can do anything to do so. I believe in myself.

Lord of the Flies. Befriend.

My boyfriend Robby. I never thought we would ever be friends because I always thought he was so cool and he is older so he wouldn't want to hang out with younger people. Turns out we mad great friends for quite a while before we started dating. I always saw Robby as someone who had high standards and went to parties. I just didn't think that i would be good enough for him because I was a little bit younger. He was and is still definitely cool and an awesome person. I am so glad that I took the chance to try to be his friend. It took us a long way to where we are now. He is not only my boyfriend but he is my best friend. Just because you may not think you would be friends with a person, doesn't mean that you cant be. Talking a chance could result in a lifetime friendship, or it may not but take a chance. What do you have to lose anyway? Take a chance.

Lord of the flies being alone.

Yes I definitely value being alone because when I am stressed of really upset, being around people can make it even worse. Sometimes its better for me to be alone even when I am okay too. I need time to myself to think and bask in my own ambiance. There are also times when I need to be around people and not be alone, for attention purposes. It is important to be by yourself sometimes to think about stuff and to calm down or cry or just spend time with your emotions. There is definitely a value in spending quality time with yourself.
