Thinking....

While you guys were talking about the religon and stuff, I got to thinkin about how i could get my word in. So i wrote this up on paper in class and here it is....

I HAVE A DREAM that all people, believers or not, can live as one and be united to form a stronger faith.

I HAVE A DREAM that people can quit caring about proving others wrong and worry about their own problems.

I HAVE A DREAM that people notice the good instead of always looking at the bad.

I HAVE A DREAM that everyone, someday, could all be happy no matter if others think something else.

I HAVE A DREAM that everyone, of all race's can be friends. Because one day there will be a time when we will need someone to fall back on and if we dont unify then we all will fail. So its up to you...Die alone? or Die strong?...

Hope you all have enjoyed my I HAVE A DREAM speech and hope you all have an awesome weekend cya!!!

Further Religious Discussion

So I know this subject has kind of been driven into the ground today but I felt kind of bad because I didn't want it to seem like I was bashing the church or religion for that matter. When we were discussing the importance of religion, I really wanted to push the idea that religion is very important to society. Having a common interest in which people can agree on and bond with each other is necessary for a growing society. And I'm not saying that there is no God or that man made him/her up, the idea of building temples and really worship is however, and that's not a bad thing! One bad thing is that people will hide behind their church and push for what they believe in regardless of whether or not its right. It is not "religion" itself that causes problems for man kind, its man that creates problems for himself. Religion is not something that can be perceived as good or bad, it is not something that can be touched or have any physical matter, its what man decides to use it for, what slander he can come up with to make people do what he wants. Its all a matter of control and power. If a man can control what people believe in then he will have all of the power in the world because he basically would have a zombie army that would do anything he wanted (best example would be Hitler). I now realize that I've gotten off topic, but what I was trying to do was make today's discussion not insulting to anyone's belief because it really wasn't meant that way.

and this...

Though we all may want, none will be remembered, as always, the sands of time will wash away all remains of our existence. Our deeds done while on this sphere, are nothing more than a drop of water into the endless ocean of human existence, in which will then be inseperable. Only the events, in which we aided to take place, will be remembered.

our discussion today kindof inspired me to write this

The religion of our modern society, is no longer about God, but about the elevation of mankind, it is now about who is right, And who is wrong, no longer judged by a god of justice and wisdom, but by a corrupt judge of the kingdoms of the earth, of a kingdom of weapons, in which justice is not represented by peaceful communocation, but by destruction of all sides.

Why I Hate Brit Lit

I love this class I really do. I look forward to it in the morning, it makes me happy most days when I leave.
But here is my problem with this whole dumb thing. I have a reading addiction (similar to Abby's) To quote Mr Isakson I'm a "biography hound" I'm not sure if being called a hound is a good thing or not.
And with all the reading we do in this stupid class I never get to read my lovely biographies!!!! I have library fines racking up and unfinished books to boot! This NEVER happens to me!!! This class is costing me big time. I only have so much time to read these lovely biographies, and Brit Lit is stealing that precious time!

Forgetting Frankenstein

I always forget that stupid book every where!!! left it in the car two days ago! Left it in my locker today! I can't get any reading done without it! Its a good thing I'm a science nerd and I have Science Olympiad tomorrow and I will be able to get that dumb book that I forget everywhere. I don't know how I could ever forget about it. Its such a large portion of how my time is spent lately. I'm beginning to resent it I think. but I don't want to because I;m actually liking the book. I love the diction Shelley uses, its so blatant and descriptive. Nothing is sugar coated. The horrendous monster is referred to as just that.

soooooo....

I liked the discussion in class today, it kindof shows all the different aspects/opinions on different religions. I definitely agree with what Hannah said in class on the fact that all the bad things like war that may include disputes over religion, are not originally caused by religion. It is mans interpretation and disagreements over religion which cause them to fight, thus disrupted both religions they were probably fighting over!

So about Frankenstein, I'm liking this book so far, and at this point in my reading I'm beginning to feel a sort of melanchony for the monster. His observations of the couple Felix & Agatha really bring out his realization of his lack of human relations and companionship. He is lonely and it really shows. It's also interesting to me how him, a creature who knows nothing of society sees the "creatures" he observes to be living in luxury with no reason to be discontent, when in reality they are suffering from poverty. To me it shows the lack of gratefulness we have for what we are blessed with.

felt but not explained

i love what we did in class today.
it gets my mind goin in the morning and it really gets me thinkin.
the picture free write at the beginning of class really made me focus
because i felt but i couldnt explain.
then getting into class discussions really excite me
becuase i know that one little thing that could be said
could either one, be blown wayyyy out of porportion or two,
make me think differently, ya know? plus if someone says something that someone else agrees with... idk i just like to watch the drama. i know i dont talk alot during those because im taking things in and to be honest i know things i say make me sound stupid so id rather not say anything at all. but in class i got a better understanding of other peoples view points and how to explain how i feel in words.... does that make sense?
