Response to THIS AMERICAN LIFE: Option #3

When viewing This American Life I witnessed a greedy man, take photo's of a woman drowning, when he could have done something to assisst her. If I were in a similar postion I would have attemtpted to assisst this person in some way, and take photographs later. However the world does need these type of photograph's to make the public aware that the world is not as peacful as it once was.

Response to THIS AMERICAN LIFE: Option #2

People who constantly tell the truth can at times be considered noble, but other times they can seem cruel. Sometime the truth is the wrong thing to say, if a burn victim who had suffered multiple burns to the face asked you if they still looked beatiful would you tell them the truth? I respect Brad Blanton for being honest, but some things should be kept to himeself.

A posion tree

After completing the Posion Tree I realized the writter was trying to potray what happenes when hattride grows deep with in us and how it can creats the want for revenge which is considered to be posion because it is unfair and has no-limits. Also in the last satment "In the morning, glad, I see My foe outstretched beneath the tree" he possibly meant his foe has suffered from his plan of revenge.

Dureing the short story Raymond's Run, Marry Williams Raymond younger sister, has a moment of peacce between the one of the antagonist's of the story Gretchen.

"Well, I apologize to cut this interview short but," said The Reporter

"Thank you for the interview." replied Chris

The wind was blowing silently on the ground picking up small amounts of snow and letting them touch the ground below. It quiet all except for the shrecks of agony. A man in his late sixties lay on the ground craddleing his broken leg. His car had swerved off the road and plumeted into a ditch sending the man flying through his windsheild. He did not care about the possible brain injury he only cared about his leg.

Scoiety will never be equal in the eyes of people, becuase everyone has their own opion on what "equal" is. True not everyone is treated equally, and if the people worked hard enough one day hummanity may reach something close to equallity.

Dialogue




Chris sat on the floor towards the back of the train cart. A large man left the group of soldiers huddle together towards the front of the cart. He stopped in front of Chris.

"Hello, 'Priviate Rove' how are you today?" said the large man

"Hello, Sargent Henderson sir." said Chris

Henderson sat down next to Chris.

"Do you now where this train is takeing us?" asked Henderson

"No." said Chris

Henderson cleared his throut. Chris sighed

"No, sir." stated Chris

"Perfect." replyed Henderson

He took out a deck of cards from his pocket.

"Go fish?" asked Henderson

"No, thanks." replyed Chris

Henderson shrugged and put the deck of cards back into his pocket. A screching noise eruppted fromthe bottom of the train. The train lurged forward.

"What was that?" asked Henderson

"I think somebody pulled the break." said Chris

"I'll go check it out." said Henderson

He, got up and walked over to the exit door of the train cart. He pulled the door open and jumped out.

Main Character "Thoughts"



I can't believe I was forced into this, I don't even like fighting; why is this road so bumpy the truck is driveing on? How long until we get there my foot is falling asleep. How long is this war going to last I want to go home. Is someone smoking?
I should just be quit and try to look like an actual soldier.

While attempting to create a thought of how the Historical Story would play out,it came to mind the possibillity of a Northern Soldier being captured by the south and severly tortured for information, all he wan't is freedom the character's name is Chris Rove.

Do You Think Every One Deserves the Will to Chose their destiney?

The beings of earth deserve a right to chose their own fate, and not have some one else decied and control it. True not every one will make the best of descions with freedom of choice, but it is their own fault for doing what they have done. However not everyone has free-will, slaves from the 17hundreds never got the chance to chose, they were abducted and removed from their homes and forced to serve people who showed littel to no respect to them. Children who feel they have failed their parents attempt to "follow in their foot steps" in an attempt to please them. Everyone deserves to chose their fate.

A recent Detriot census states that the population in Detriot dropped by 25% leaving at least 100,000 vancant. It is belived that a "gun fight" was the cause of the drop in population. Yet how can a small group of people manage to kill at least 25% of population in detriot? If somehow the small group of people managed to kill all these people why were there littel to no bodies found?

Super Powers

If the choice were available I would chose the ability to duplicate ones self. The main reason I would duplicate myslef mutiple times would be to complete time consuming tasks, in order to save time to do other things.

Patriotism

The United States government was established under the motto of “Liberty and Justice for All.” Justice, however, is not always served; accused criminals pay off cops and judges so they can escape their penalty. People of different religions are often looked down upon by hypocrites. Homosexuals are often denied jobs because their employers are homophobic. Was this truly the vision of the future that the creators of the United States saw?
If this is what was interpreted as justice, then justice is fleeing.
Poverty has reached to around 1.7 billion people worldwide. Many predict this event will lead to the United States economy’s government collapsing and causing even more problems than ever. What would happen after this crisis? Would people leave the ruins of the United States economy and move to Europe, Africa, or Asia in a futile hope to escape poverty? Even if people where to leave it would not cause the problem to disappear only delay the inevitable. You can never bury a problem, you can only solve it. In “The Series of Unfortunate Events the Serpent room” three orphans are being hunted down by a corrupt man named Count Olaf. They are soon adopted by their distant relative, Dr. Montgomery, but their problem soon catches up to them. This pattern continues for years until finally they solved their problem in a twisted way. Even though they chose murder to resolve their issue. There were, however, more possibilities to resolve the issue. People should take their time and observe the outcome instead of rushing into a random conclusion. People who improvise are missing a component to reach their conclusion. Those who improvise usually don’t reach their conclusion, or put in much more effort than required. A twenty-one year old homosexual, Matthew Shephard, was kidnapped and brutally tortured to death. The reason why these people killed this man is because they saw it was wrong to be a homosexual. People used to think Martin Luther King Jr. was wrong for trying to give rights to African Americans, that is until they saw how large the impact was they changed their minds and accepted the fact that black people will be able to go and do everything they do. Yet some people still believe that Blacks shouldn’t have their equal rights.

“Justice denied anywhere diminishes justice everywhere, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” –Martin Luther King Jr.

Mistakes

Everyone makes mistakes, even though many deny it. Most mistakes depending on how large it is can cause a series of events that could cause an issue in the future. Kings killed their wives so they could remarry since most of them believed they made a mistake marrying the person, others avoided them their wives at all costs. Major shipping companies make shipping mistakes such as sending the wrong package to the wrong person. The most effective mistakes than be caused is by Parents. Parents lie to their children, but not in a negative way they lie to protect their child. In the short story “The Lie” by Kurt Vannegut, Jr. Eli the main character lie’s to his parents about failing the entry exams into White Hill boarding school, much similar to how Jonah the main character from the book “FOUND” by Margaret Peterson Haddix, reacted when he began to receive odd letters. Lying is not always a negative, sometime we lie to boost one’s self esteem, for example say a man who flunked out of middle school for failing every assignment and test asked you “Do you think I am intelligent?” What would your response be? Children lie either because they don’t want to get in to trouble or they don’t want their parents to worry. Some companies are built on nothing but lies, insurance companies con around 23% of the population out of their money, and still continue to until they have run their client dry of money. If everyone told the truth these companies wouldn’t exist, but telling the truth isn’t always a good thing.
In the novel “No Second Chance” the main character gets a second chance to retrieve his daughter from a group of kidnappers, the first time the group had called he let the police get involved he lost his daughter, he realized if he informed the police he would lose his daughter again, so he went alone. In the book “Among the Hidden” also by Margret Peterson Haddix Luke the main character lies to his parents about sneaking over into his neighbor’s yard and seeing Tera. People don’t need to know everything. People who usually don’t lie then suddenly lie about something huge undergo physical and mental issues. In T.V. shows people exaggerate lying effects on people such as, twitching of the eye, throwing up, sweating a lot. Two years ago one my sisters friend’s lied about going to school to his parents, she actually spent the whole day at the mall. At least a week later the lie had completely consumed here, her hair was faded and falling out, and she hadn’t fallen asleep in days. She finally confessed, and was grounded for a week, guilt can do terrible things to a beings mind. People who lie always get caught, whether it be years after they lie someone will now the truth. We all lie for a reason whether it is for a negative or positive reason it will always lead to an outcome that will affect the person. Weather the effects are painful and long, or meaningless and short. No one is perfect everyone lies
