“Both the use of human beings as slaves and the use of fossil fuels inflate the wealth of some by robbing others.”
This quate from a short story that I wrote a summery on. In this short essey the wrtiter exlains that we are not doing enough to help the planet and we are using the planet without thinking of our future generations. It also explains the actions we could make to help ourselves by teaching the youth the importance of energy saving habits. From slaves to energy waitsting to this auther they go hand in hand.

To this point I have been feeling confident. Lately I have been struggling with school and work. My time spent at work is hurting my grades. I have been trying to catch up and I am feeling like I am doing so. Soon after one of my days at work I realized my priorities. School is the highest on my list of priorities. I know that I will catch up and get a better grade than I could even imagine.

I believe I will be writing my paper on Homosexual Monkeys. In this topic I will be explaining how monkeys might go extinct if they keep turning homosexual. Adopting issues with other monkeys, with this I mean monkeys trying to steal other monkey’s children for their own. I also will explain the spread of disease among the monkey because of the sexual behavior. Monkeys having an issue with hygiene, I will explain that researches have been doing a study and have been watching the habits of the monkeys.

I learned a few things about LSC, such as the no smoking rules and I also learned a little bit about registering for new classes. From doing this peer reviewing I have learned that it is sometimes hard to explain the flaws in others, but at time you have to try to find a way to express how to fix those errors. When I would peer review another students paper I would either have so much to say that I had a hard time to express it are I would find it hard to even write anything. I would say that I struggled at peer reviewing this essay but I will do better in the future. As a writer I have learned that even if I try my hardest to make a perfect paper I still manage to have errors, I guess no one is perfect after reviewing my classmates it made it much easier to write my own. The comments I received helped me to a point, I hope to expand my knowledge.

One of the virtues that would come easy to me is the Silence virtue. In class and in other places I know when to talk and when not to. I also do not spread rumors or any other sort of bad information that would harm others. The one virtue that would be a weakness to me would be the Temperance virtue. I know for a fact that I spend a majority of my pay check on food. I also love to eat so that would not help either. Keeping track of these virtues would not only make me a better person but would make others like me as well. I would also save some money too.

“I’ve illuminated the blackness of my invisibility- and vice versa. And so I play the invisible music of my isolation.”
The writers point is to tell the readers of his invisibility and to explain people’s blindness to others. It also explains the troubles of the man telling the story. To me the writer’s story is very moving. My reaction to the writer’s thesis was that I believe that some are unseen and others are too arrogant or stubborn to see them. I do not believe this passage will change anyone’s minds but only make them think deeper into the thought of others. Another emotion that I think that wont change is anger. The only way someone could get angry at this passage is if they were feeling like the victim of the invisible man. After reading the passage I can truly say I had deep thought. Not only did I think about why he was invisible but how he had become that state.

The point of the picture is to argue that more taxes should not be put on our foods. I think it is truthful and realistic. To me this point is valid. The government should not put taxes on things that we choose to eat, even if it is bad for us. The audience of this article is broad, but mostly junk food eaters. I believe this article will not change the governments mind to have taxes but will make people argue against it. This article will make the readers angry against the government. This article is clever and thoughtful. It truly has the ability to make someone think, including myself.

What surprised me in this application is the question that asks you if you are a prostitute or not. What confuses me is, who is their right mind would say yes to this. If you say yes then you will be unable to come to the united state. People are supposed to be truthful and faithful to our country. Why would we ask questions to people who are doing things that are not wrong were they come from? This is unfair to me. In the real would, these questions could mean getting in or not.

The place that I have felt the most out of place is when I went to a sketchy party where people were doing all sorts of drugs that I have never heard of. When I say drugs I mean heavy stuff, like meth and using needles. I have been raised to hate these things. I was there alone and was referred by a distant friend to go there. Immediately when I walked in I felt like an outcast. They began to ask me to join in and try it and this only made me feel more distant. I didn’t want to be there. I felt more away from home than I have ever felt. I was only ten blocks away from home. As I slowly stepped backwards towards the door only one thought raced through my mind, how much I want to be home and feel safe, away from the drugs.

Boat sways on water
Captain’s Screams heard from afar
Women tears, new life
Weather becomes harsh
Boat sinks deep along with crew
Devorce with abuse
Boat under water
women becomes nurse, helping
others live better
Boat now history,
Life ends with retirment,
age comes with much ease
