The year was 2081, and the world was finally at peace. The wars had secede, the bombs were gone, and life had prospered. In the year 2032 there was a war that changed life for ever. Millions of bombs were being doped on very inch of the world and there was constant gun fire. The war ended when every nation fired its nuclear bombs on every other nation. After that it was as if everything was at peace and was contempt; that was the last war ever to be fought by humanity because no human was left alive after the war.

Self Pride
What is it that makes us want to show others or even our selves that we are great? “To Build a Fire” by Jack London makes me think about how too much self confidence can be our downfall. When we have to much confidence we tend to ignore others advice, though it can be wise and useful.
His lack of imagination made it impossible for him to understand what kind of risk he was taking. The main character did not understand what -75 degrees meant. He only knew it would be cold, he couldn’t comprehend what could happen to him if he went. Feeling the bone chilling cold and the harsh winds did not make the man think doubt his actions. The wind only made him want to reach his destination more.
The Old-timer from Sulpher Creek told the main character he would not survive the trip. The main character now had to make the trip so that he could indulge his ego, by proving to the old timer and to nature that he knew best. His pride was his real death not the snow; his pride made him forget his common sense and to just keep going on.
His flaw was his pride. If only he had waited he could have survived the storm and he would have still been alive. To much pride can be dangerous; it can blind us from making the correct decisions.

IPod Coolness Factor
Response
Does hard work really pay off; do people appreciate the minor details? All it took was one iPod to make apple the masterful company it is today. Because of its sleek design and all the little things apple put into its IPods, Computers, and Phones it is the most known company in the world. Because the amount of effort and the insane quality of their products their customers trust the company and so they blindly buy and do what they are told by Apple. People think that the Ceo of Apple Steve Jobbs is only in it for the money but then consider this, in a year he is paid only one dollar (he writes of items as business expenses). The amount of detail and hard work is what made apple the company it is to day and the consumers know that and respect it, this one reason I think Apple will continue to grow and will prosper for years to come.

The Bone Chilling Cold

The Bone Chilling Cold
Sign of Global Warming?
Global warming is affecting the world even if we don’t hear about it. Even
though it is called Global Warming it affects the world in extreme cold and extreme hot
weather. All schools in the Northeast have been canceled or postponed due to the
chilling weather. Even though it is normal to have cold weather the people living there
are convinced that something is going on.
Though it is called Global Warming it affects places with cold. It was reported
that the temperature was negative 50, while in N.J., America it was negative 4 degrees
scientist predict that it will only get worse because the Earth is slowly starting to
stop rotating, and that causes for longer winters, less sun, and more weather problems.
Parents are upset because of the amount of school time being wasted so parents
have started walking their kids to school themselves. There are many more recorded
incidents where the wind chill and the temperature have been in the extreme. When you
look at all the facts and all the changes in weather all over the world you can’t deny
that Global Warming is real and it’s affecting us now.

feel complete secluded and to have your mind calm so all your thoughts can be heard
clearly and correctly.

Speak connection
By: Faiyaz Hasan
In most books people love to connect to the main character but in this book the main characters personality is one that I can’t relate to very much. Also there is a character that’s called Mr. Neck who has many character flaws like short temper and a one track mind that bring him down.
Melanie is an outcast, because she had called the cops at a party and people have gotten fired from their jobs and even arrested. Her friends have abandoned her and now she is almost no self confidence, this is something that I cannot relate to at all, I have never felt completely alone or had almost everyone I’ve known shun me I also am not the type of person to stay quiet or be shy.
Angry, stubborn, and a one track mind are all characteristics f Mr. Neck he is never wrong, and if you dare to stand up to him he will lose his temper as he has showed before. When Mr. Neck’s son did not get a job as a fire fighter Mr. Neck starts a debate in class about immigration. “America should have closed their borders in 1990” he wrote on the board, he is convinced that his son did not get the job due to some reverse discrimination. Soon after the debate started it started going in the opposite direction Mr. Neck wanted it to go so he stopped it. But then the kid that all teachers love and who never gets in trouble could not drop the subject, he could not let Mr. Neck stop a debate because it was going bad so the student went to the principal’s office just for sharing his view, and Mr. Neck didn’t even give it a second thought even though the students facts and opinion were accurate and intelligent.
