Future

Our future is up to us, it isn't up to anyone. every choice we make has a affect to our future. like for me I decided to not do my math work and thinking it wont affect me but now I have problem understanding how to do the work and I'm now failing the class. Also if you are yourself to everyone then people wont see you as a bad person because you would show how you really are which is a good person. in "A Sound of Thunder" when Eckel went out of the trail which lead him to stepping the butterfly that cause a change in the future by electing the wrong candidate as president. so by us doing the right things and think before what we do because anything could affect our future even the small choices we do can have a impact. so for us not wanting to focus and see who we really did we would make us think twice before we do it. Also that we should make choices that wont affect like how people decided to elect Donald as president that can affect the future of the united states. but we are gonna have to wait for that outcome. so we have to be careful for what we do.

MY MAD DREAM OF AN ESSAY

Remember that time you ate that spicy tamale just before you went to bed on the night before the big party ?  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 bakery  waiting to be sent to jail.  Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect wienerschnitzel, looking like a crazy dogs who could eat a whole cow.  

Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "the only way to have a friend is to be one."  You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to help people.  But it wasn't easy.  First you had to put on a fancy clothes and shoes and then you had make a place to go back in time to the jail  so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the deportation.

But right there in the jail there was a giant German Shepard  and it started barking at everyone.  People started to yell.  You grabbed a bomb from a nearby table and yelled everyone listen up.  Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.

If I could go back in the past I would like to see the reason ww1 or ww2 started. Also to see in person how people treated the veterans when they came back from the Vietnam war. Also just be back in time when all those intersecting events occurred. Also be there when the United States declared their freedom from the British.

Emerson child

         Emerson says to be "yourself" is just show how you really want to be."In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts" so when we are ourselves we can recognize our mistake not by other people who would say "no that's wrong" that can make us just be quiet and won't show what we are thinking. So when he Emerson say "yourself" means that show who you really are. For me when no is looking is being kind to others but in school I'm quiet I don't really participate in class
.       My true nature is helping out to other people if they need help. That me being myself not what other people wanting me to be something else. But people are afraid to be them self because they are scared to be made fun of. And that makes people be afraid and shy to show what is on their mind and be made fun of. Also they would be afraid to get questions wrong.
         What we really feel is the urge to answer a question or say something in our mind but have a mind that makes you think that people are going to bring you down. When we think too much we become scared to say anything. But by reading Emerson I have found to just speak what is in my mind and who cares what people say. Also that we are being ourselves and should be proud of that. Our true needs is to speak up and show what we know.
          I really want is to people to start showing what they have in mind. By doing that more people would not have fear of speaking because they would see people are talking that would make themselves want to say something and really show what is on their thinking. Also the more people speak the less the people are shy. This could help in other classes to by you starting to speak and encourage other students to speak up.
            Emerson wisdom has show if speak my mind or just say what I feel that I won't be afraid to talk to people. Even be afraid to do a presentation. With his wisdom I would be able to speak with people and we can make changes in the community by just speaking our mind. So speaking can change our future. Also that we can more opportunity to be able to have a good life.

An earth shattering fart

From reading "A Sound of Thunder" what I learned is that if you go back to the past one small change can affect the future real badly. If we kill a animal in the past if could affect the future by that animal we killed the family that it was supposed to have won't be alive and that could affect the food chain in the wild life. So with one change can affect the world leading to disaster. So basically the story says that everything has a affect no matter how small it is.
