Of Mice and Men

I think that the ending of the story was good. Not everything can end good and happy and most people don’t like that. They don’t want to face reality and death but it’s going to happen. Of course not everyone will be shot by the one person that they trust, but George was forced to make a very tough decision and I personally think that it was a good choice. He knew Lennie was happy and he made sure it was quick, and he also made sure that he didn’t know it was coming. I think it would have just scared Lennie if he knew and I think it would have just made him sad and make him feel guilty. He did do something bad and he knew it was bad but there was no reason for him, with his disability, to suffer the guilt and to know that he was being killed by his best friend.

terrifying babysitter

Ruby was her name, sounds horrifying enough already, but that’s just the beginning. I was too young to remember but my mother still tells me the stories of my very first babysitter. She was my aunt, aunt Ruby, living just a few houses down from my memaw and no one knew what happened behind the closed doors. After long days at work my mom would come to save me, at first she never imagined to walk through the door and find her baby girl dirty, smelly, and in tears. I would suffer all day without a diaper change, I would never receive a bath even when I desperately needed one from afternoons in the dirt. I would be placed on the floor and ignored after that. My mother soon started to notice random bruises, Ruby had no explanation. Finally my mother was fed up, we found a new babysitter and I soon became the new terror. Like any other afternoon my mother came to pick me up and heard the story of me biting the other children, but it soon stopped. So after that day my afternoons were perfect with a new babysitter.

Death Poets Society

The movie Dead Poets Society was a very interesting movie. It makes me wonder what I would do in a situation like that. I would want to stand up for what was right but it would take so much courage for anyone to do that. I honestly think that I would be able to though, because I would never want someone to suffer for something they didn’t do, especially when it involves the death of a student. It makes you really want to embrace life and make a difference for the better. I think that the boys should have stood up and took responsibility for the secret group, it wasn’t the cause of Neil’s death, it was just a group that they all wanted and to participate in, no one was forced to be there they all made the choice themselves. Over all I thought it was a great movie, very inspirational.

when you dont know what to do.

What do you do when you don’t know what to do? Everyone has had a moment where they have to make a tough decision, so in the end how do you know what the right choice would be? Then what do you do if you make a mistake while making the decision? Do you regret anything, if you don’t regret does that mean you don’t care? You’re being torn between two really tough situations. Each has its pros and each has its cons. Do you go on what makes you happy or should you think about other people to? Life throws so many questions at you all at one time. Should you really let yourself stress over it or just take life as it comes? I think you should follow your heart always, if you care about that person, that thing, that place, anything in the world. If you’re not passionate about it, if it’s not worth fighting for it’s not worth having. You have to work for everything you have in your life and want to keep in your life. You work for someone to stay through good and bad, you work for sports practice makes perfect, you work for schools to have a better future. What do you do when you don’t know what to do? You work for what you truly want in life.

freedom

My favorite place in the world would have to be out in the country by a lake where you can just feel the freedom and see the beauty of the natural world. You feel the wind wrapping all around you whipping back and forth, blowing your hair all around, you feel wild and free, safe and calm, wonderful and bright… When you look forward you can see the sunset, oh how lovely, reflecting off the lake. My grandma always says “when you see the beauty of a sunset is when you truly know there is a gracious God.” I hear her voice speak those words even when she is not around, what a wonderful God to bring us such light, what a wonderful God... I can smell the outdoors, the trees, the fresh air, the soil of the fields. The best smell in the world, the smell of freedom, the smell of relaxation. I can smell the water from the lake, it’s a good smell… Every sound is enhanced, so wonderful, so beautiful. Birds become artists, singing amazing songs, crickets chirp all around. The country is free, and beautiful filled with many possibilities.
