Steam of consciousness

How long will this chase take? Will he kill one of us? I wonder where he would hide. Maybe in a barn or somewhere away from town.  Hopefully I don't get shot because then nobody will  be there for my family. If nobodies there who will take care of Frank as he grows up. That won't happen because I'm going to stop him. Or will he stop us first? Will he get away before any of us get to him? John W. Booth must die before he strikes again.  I wonder what they will do with him after we catch him? They'll probably hang him or maybe throw him in prison for the rest of his life.  Maybe I will be honor by President Jackson for catching his killer. Then I will be known as a hero.

What is the main point of my book?

After the Civil War there was an event that changed history forever. Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth in Ford's Theatre. So the main point of my book isn't about the assassination but about catching the killer. The book is interesting because it's a non-fiction book about how they caught Mr. Booth but the way it is told makes it sound like a historical fiction. For my historical fiction I plan to talk about a view point of the chase. The view point will be from a made up character, but have real people from the chase. The conflict will most likely be the group has trouble finding and catching Booth before he's gone for good.

What motivates people?

There are many things that motivate people like money and fame. Money and fame are the biggest two of them all. They are because people are selfish and only want power. It motivates them but it will cost others a large amount of time and money. That is what I think motivates people the most.

Are there times when it is right to fight?

I think that at time you can fight, but not violent fighting. If you are going to fight it should be for something that you believe in. Not just because you want to fight make it because you think its right. Fighting doesn't always have to be violent, but it can be vocal. That means that you can use your word to fight.

Do you think that everybody has free will?

Free will is having control of your own destiny. Yes, everybody has free will but only if they don't let anybody in there way. If you let somebody take it away by getting in the way of your dreams then you don't have free will. I have this thought because of some of my observations from movies and real life.

Reflection

I think overall my discussion was great. My group was ready and all knew a lot about the topic. There is one thing that I wish we would of done a little better and that is have questions prepared just in case we ran out of stuff to talk about. This assignment was good practice for projects that we might have in other classes and later in the year in this class. The most challenging thing was keeping the conversation going. There were time when I was a little worried that it was going to stop short of the time. The thing that surprised me most was how long I conversation continued for. I was worried that we didn't have enough stuff but we did. That is what I got out of this project.

If I was in control of the school

There are many thing about the school that kids don't like about the school, but some of them you can't change. The first thing that I would change is make a rule that there is no homework on Fridays. That would make kids enjoy their weekend and will be ready to come back to school. Another thing is don't make kids take a world language in middle school. Lastly, I would make lunch earlier and during resource have a snack bar open for kids to buy snacks. Those are the changes I would make so kids would enjoy school more.

Tokyo Issues Tap Water Warnings

As you may know Japan was recently hit by a tsunami and earthquake. It destroyed thousands of dollar of their country. Now Japan faces another problem from the tsunami. The tap water isn't safe for the infants to drink. They said that the becquerel levels are 110 to high.
Japan has that problem but the weather is still not on their side. It's only raining but that might cause the bad tap water to migrate to other parts of Japan. So many infants are in danger of the dangerous water. It is starting to look like it will be a long time before Japan will recover from this natural disaster.

What is the best sport?

In my opinion the best sport is easily wrestling. It beats the other sports in many ways. You have to work harder, dedicate more time, and practice drills harder than any other sport. Plus, its not just a team sport. So that means that you don't have to wrestle with a team, you can go to tournaments by yourself. That is one of my favorite things about the sport. It is also a very competitive team sport. One of the best things about wrestling as a team, the wrestlers can only score up to 6 points. Then in other sports they can score as many as they can. That is the best part about wrestling with a team. Those are all the reason that wrestling is the best sport in my opinion.

What Superpower would I want?

If I could choose a super power I would choose the power to fly. The reason I would want that super power is because I could fly anywhere in the world when ever I want. Another reason is that if I am running late for something and I couldn't make it in a car, I could just fly. That is why I would choose to fly.

Can human beings ever be truly equal?

I think that human beings will never be equal. The reason is we need some people to be leaders and that would make them better than others. So that means they won't be truly equal. If we were created equal I think that the world would full of peace and there wouldn't be any war. So everybody would be happy. That's what I think the world would be like if we were all equal.
