The Infinity Room is made of over six hundred lights and pieces of glass it is
designed to make you feel as if you were in the nothingness of space. when i was
onside that room my mind felt open, it let all the ideas flow,because it was so calm
there were no distractions. feeling as if you were in space surrounded by nothing
but stars from every direction is amazing that is the point of the Infinity Room to
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.

Patriotism
By: Faiyaz Hasan
Does patriotism still matter it all depends on what your definition of patriotism is whether its honoring your country, going to war for your country,and saying the “Pledge of Allegiance” every day. When I hear the word patriotism some quotes come to mind even some that have almost nothing to do with patriotism.“If you are ashamed to stand by the colors of your flag you had better find another flag”-Anonymous. Yes patriotism always will matter but understanding that others have different takes on what patriotism is the most important part of it.

The Body in Henrys House
Response
Interested, confused, and wanting more is how this short story left me. this story is based on a utopia everything is perfect even if there is a dead body to them it is nothing weird just a body that they never even notice. This romance story has little to no conflict and this story shows me that sometimes love does conquer all.

A well lighted place
(Essay)
Did Hemingway know what he was writing about when he wrote a well lit place? Did he ever even imagine that he was going to become in the future? From even though he might not of done it consciously he probably did it subconsciously.
Although he was proud, the character of the old man in "A Well Lighted Place” was defeated he had money and a family but he wasn’t happy with that he was happy with just a barley and a nice little bar. He was calm polite and was content but not a strong person he sounded defeated sad and depressed “he tried to commit suicide”
Hemingway would starve himself until he wrote a piece he was happy with and he would drink a lot of alcohol and I have a feeling that the old man in the story did something similar. The old man had tried to kill himself and so did Hemingway as did almost every man in Hemingway’s family. Most writers write about their own experiences and their own lives and Hemingway’s story a well lighted place was hopefully just a made up story, but all the facts point to him writing about him self.
Hemingway is the old man, the old man is Hemmingway any way you look at it its obvious that the two people are one even if one is in the distance future. There is no way that Hemingway could of guessed that he was going to become that old man in the story, yet somehow he wrote as if he was in that bar with the old man himself.

The Black Stallion and the Red Mare
Running with your friends from people who are trying to capture you, your friend is at a disadvantage, and will surely be captured, yet have a choice: run and leave your friends behind so you can escape or help your friend and risk your freedom. It is human nature to help others but it is hard to look out for a companion and also yourself.
Donald was a huge fan of these majestic horses because they ran free and did what they wanted, and they were hated by the farmers. Ordered by his father Donald was sent to find and tell the town about the location of these horses, Donald found the horses but then was wondering if he should betray the horses or betrays his dads trust and lie to him. This part of the story reminds of an event that has happened to me. I was suppose to have an essay turned in for a class at school, and I had a choice either do the essay right and get it done now or fool around. I chose fooling around, my essay got a horrible score, now I have to work twice as hard just to make up for that one essay, so I know that even though it seems like the right choice is hard, it will pay off in the long run and will make your life much easier.
If you have someone who you know for a fact would never leave your side, even if it is easier for them to go alone, you should treat them the same way. Donald had chose his father and told the town where the horses were. Red with rage the town went after the horses, the whole group of horses followed the Black Stallion as they tried to escape, soon it was only the Black Stallion and the Red Mare, the black stallion could easily of ran a head and gotten away but as he looked back he saw the mare needing help. He had gone back for the mare and was caught by the people; though the Black Stallion knew this would happen he still tried to help the Mare. A book comes to mind when I read this, “Once Upon This Island” in this story a Indian has to travel thousands of miles to save one of her friend even though everybody in her village has given up hope.
He tried to save the mare and himself but it is difficult to save him self and his companion. He picked the hard decision and was captured, he failed; he was able to make the right decision. He did what he knew was right and tried to save his friend because it is human nature to care for others.
