A Hug is Nearly a Gun Spelled Backwards

          What little things in life make you happy? Is it the food or getting a hug from your favorite person? Is it your love for your country? Personal Relations are the most important thing in life. When I get a hug from the people , I love it makes me feel happy and loved. Personal Relations means the relationships you have with people. The most common relation are hugs! Hugs are comforting, relaxing, and peaceful.

               What is exactly patriotism? Patriotism is defined as a person who loves their homeland more than anything. Patriotism is great, but it is not as important as personal relations. Not everyone knows about patriotism compared to personal relations. People may think they know. Many people only know that George Washington was the first president and that July fourth is when we got our independence. People don't know how and who we got our independence from. How do I know that? Well I just asked my parents where we got our independence from and they didn't know. That proves my point that very little people know about our country.

                  The similarity between personal relations and patriotism is love. Whether it be towards a person or people which creating personal relations or having enormous amount of love towards our country (patriotism) . Both subjects are great and we all need them in our lives. Without personal relations we wont know how to connect with people. We would all be like zombies searching for something we never experienced or heard of. I believe Patriotism would be consider the second most important thing. We live in this amazing country might as well love it.

                   Overall, I believe that personal relations is what mostly makes up life. Its how we come together as a unit. Patriotism would come into part as us becoming one country. I agree with E.M Forester's view of personal relations as more valuable than patriotism. Everyone has their beliefs and opinions. I think every person should at least get a hug everyday to remind themselves that there is comfort and love around us. Also it really helps when we all are having bad days at some point in life. Hugs are awesome!
Sometimes My Mind

Sometimes I zone out during class and pretty much throughout the day. When I zone out I feel like im on a different world or planet, possibility another dimesion that hasn't got discovered yet. Im physically here, but my mind is in its own world. Sometimes its hard to snap out of it. It happens through out the day. Its a crazy feeling like everything around me is fuzzy and nothing seems to exists. I always wonder if other people have this problem.

Interesting News Story Opinion

There was story on the news about a teenage girl who killed her new born baby. I think that was the most dumb idea to do. She could have gave up the baby for adoption. If she didn't want the baby then why did she do it. The baby created no harm and was pure innocent. It makes me frustrated that this generation would do something like that when there are so many other options to choose from. Abortion isn't the option in my opinion that's like the same thing to me. Teenagers need to stop making those mistakes. If they do the those mistakes they need to live up to them and become a responsible adult about it. Instead of making or doing childish acts. Its time to take full responsibility on our actions instead of blaming others.

Bad Words

What makes words bad ? There is no such thing as bad words. We just use them incorrectly everyday whether it be towards a person with anger or we stub our toe on the coffee table edge. When a person speaks their words, it speaks louder than their actions. Words describe a person more than appearance ever will. We the people are like books, we may not be open but we have words that describe us. There is a existence of a bad language or a unsophisticated language. We could abolish that if we could convince ourselves that their is no bad words. We could speak our minds more clearly. The appropriate way to use euphemisin is to relate to your audience in a extinctive way. The way to do that is to use subjects that no longer exists so the audience doesn't become embarrassed maybe. The inappropriate way to use euphemisin is to use the subjects that people could relate to. This creates offending them and different outlooks of the world and the whole world of language.

Junk Food is Healthy

 

*I am exploring satire. This article may offend some people. Read at your own risk. Thank you.

 

We should consider to eat more Chocolate chip cupcakes, soda, sour patch candy, and the Hostess Twinkies. We shouldn’t be eating broccoli and protein shakes. This soda and no water diet is the new way to start living healthy.  If we eat broccoli we may turn green, but with hot Cheetos you will only have a red tongue and red fingers for only twenty four hours. You won’t turn red unlike broccoli.

          This how you start your healthy diet. The first step is to go through your pantry and invade it. Then throw everything you have in there because there is better stuff to buy. Next, get in your car and drive to your nearest grocery store and park really close. Then instead of going in the aisles on the outside, go to the aisles that are in the middle of the store. Then get frozen food, ice cream, sodas, cookies, chips, muffins, cookie dough, and cinnamon rolls. These food items are the beginning of your healthy lifestyle diet. Do this your whole lifetime.

            Who cares about diabetes and heart problems? Everyone is going to die at some point might as well have fun eating sweets that are good for you. Who cares if you have clogged arteries? Eat another large fry! My suggestion to fast food places is to get the biggest size in everything. The moto you should live up to is “Bigger the better”. The grease in the food in fast food places will help you have clear skin and good eyebrows! This is the way to get clearer skin and good eyebrows by drinking soda and eating greasy foods. Let’s populate the world with more diabetes!

          The new trend nowadays is to eat fast food and to transform your pantry to a four year olds dream cabinet. In the future, there could be a cure for diabetes. Then we won’t have any problems with eating junk food. The solution could possibly be something like a high definition machine. That allows you to get rid of the diabetes. You would walk through the machine and it will start on the side of you and make its way to the other side. The machine would be a sensor machine that basically does laser eye surgery. That would hopefully take out all the not necessary sugars. These are some ideas. The idea of eating junk food is to get clearer skin and good eyebrows. This is the new health style in 2016. Let’s start today!

Literature Analysis

The book "Before I Fall" is about this girl (Samantha) that has a perfect life. Then on Friday, February 12 turns out to be her last day. The odd thing about it was that she had relive that day seven times. The reason being is that so she could make different choices and see if how she really died. Everyday has new outcomes because she chooses new options.

The theme of the novel would be something like you never know what your last day would be so live without regrets. Another one would be live each day to fullest. My favorite one would be live each day as it were your last.

This author seemed like the party type and enjoys to wake up late. There's a possibility that this author is obsessed with death and alcohol. This person is lacking nutrition and hardly eats because she seems so busy with being in a different world which would be reading and creating books. I think this author is single and has no kids so she relies on her teenager years to create vivid books. The reason being that I think she is obsessed with alcohol is because in the book it says " Ally takes a sip of the vodka she's holding" she mentions that Ally does this seven times and gets drunk seven times in the story. Also about the author being obsessed with death is that why would she create a book that makes the perfect human being die but relive her last day seven times. " When we were younger- freshman year and even half of sophomore year - we'd sometimes stay in and put on clay masks and order Chinese food." By using the memory that the main character has it seems that this could be one of the author's memory when she was a teenager.

This author uses aside because there is more than one main character and each character describes their own understanding of each other in the book and basically describes their weakness and strongest. The Climax of the story was when the main character got in a car crash and ended her life but only reliving that same day. The author uses imagery by saying that during the car crash Samantha could see lights and see her life flash right before her eyes. Samantha always picked on this girl named Juliet, she thought she was a freak. The metaphor Samantha uses is that " I watch Juliet's hair flash in the sunlight like its catching fire." The last one would be personification in the quote " On the horizon is the black line of clouds, just sitting there, a curtain about to be closed." The personification would be the curtain wanting to be closed even though the clouds aren't curtains.
