My Bad Dream Of An Essay

Remember that time you ate that spicy chips just before you went to bed on the night before the big show?  Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election.  When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the important  details, but after reading "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder" it's all coming back to you now.

The dream started badly.  You were in line with your family at a store waiting to be sent to buy lots of clothes. Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect like Donald messed up hair Trump , looking like a crazy pig, who could eat a whole country like America.   

Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you,"The persons who make up a nation to-day, next year die, and their experience with them."  You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to accept it.  But it wasn't easy.  First you had to put on a fancy clothes and shoes and then you had make a time machine to go back in time to the concert so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the issues that we will have.

But right there in the concert there was a giant poster and it started staring at everyone.  People started to yell.  You grabbed a microphone from a nearby person and yelled. Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.

My Emerson

Our project is a Quote Poster which is that we find a quote that we like and describe what the quote means to us. We are also going to put a picture of Emerson and also write three quote to make it look better.

Emerson for the Young Buck

So far what I learned or understood about the story "On Self Reliance" is that you must not be someone else, but be yourself. One of the quote that I really liked says "What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think." That quote means to me that no matter what, you must be yourself and don't be like anyone else. It also means that don't be a follower, but a leader and show what you can do and never follow nobody but lead people.

Emerson Said It

Emerson's Quote:
1.) "His hidden meaning lies in our endeavors; our valor are  our best gods."
2.) "He who would gather immortals palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness."
3.) "We first share the life by which things exist, afterwards see them as appearances in nature and forget that we have share their cause."
4.) "He cumbers himself never about consequences, about interest: he gives an independent genuine verdict."
5.) "Be yourself"
6.) "The world has been instructed by its kings, who have so magnetized the eyes of nations."
7.) "The soul is no traveler."
8.) "Society is a wave."
9.) "What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think."
10.) "The wave moves onward, but the water of which is composed does not."

Letter to a Mentor

Well there is like about a lot of people who can help me get my answers for this letter. I think teachers can help me because I can tell them why are they giving us a lot of homework, while we have other important things to do also. They sometimes don't think about If we don't get tired of homework or projects and even essay. The teachers just pass the homework and the next the day they ask you" Yes or No" If you done your homework.We also have other responsibilities to do too like we still have other homework that we have to turn in the same day and etc.

RESPECT MY AUTHORITY

What I feel about the authority is that it's good and then bad at the same time. It's good because some authority do care about us students like for us to  graduate and have a better future. It's also bad because some cops actually take there job really to far, by being to violence to innocent people.

The Presidential Debate September 26,2016

Mistakes for President

  The debate against Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton is going on and on. They've been blaming on each other about very important things. First example is that, Clinton says that Trump doesn't care if the other countries have nuclear weapons, and that he said,"Well good luck with that!!" Second example is that, Trump talks about that Clinton wasted millions of dollars on some hacking program. After that, they continue to blame and talk about different topics.The guy asking the question told Trump what else is missing for Clinton and Trump reply's,"She doesn't have enough stamina and the good look." Hillary talks back and says, I have enough stamina and have a good look more and better than you."
