Snake


It may seem weird or "gross" to people but I think snakes are the manly-est. creatures. You might think of a tiger or something big and strong but snakes don't even need legs. Tigers or lions attack there pray by slowly sneaking up and running after them and once they have there pray they make a bloody mess. The snake in a way is more beautiful for it can take out it’s pray with out a single drop of blood and rarely needs to attack more then once. Anyways throw a black mamba in a cage with a tiger and I doubt the tiger will still be breathing a day later

utopia

During lunch we got into a small conversation about a utopic society and a friend of mine said that creating such a society is impossible. At first it didn’t really bother me, I didn’t agree with it but I just thought of it as an opposing statement nothing more. Later that day though my dad and I had a conversation about communism and he also said that having a perfect society is impossible which is when I finally noticed. People have lost faith in others and in turn themselves. I understand that a utopic society is far fetched but in our age you see objects transporting people in the sky and screens that display images of information around the globe. Its okay for people to think we can better our technology, our education, our medical system, but why not ourselves as a whole. Losing hope in ourselves is pathetic, with out hope in the goodness of man why live on this earth, why go to school or make friends. I believe there can be a perfect society because the word perfect can never be defined. The trick is not bending your society to be perfect for everyone, it’s everyone bending there thought on perfect to fit our society.

Anthem

For the past week in class I have been reading the book anthem and the only word that I can utter is perfect. Happily I am not over exaggerating because it has been a long time since I have read a book I have truly enjoyed an agreed with. The author of the novel is Ann Reed and I have friends that say they have read her book fountain head which is also supposed to be an excellent book. For anyone who wishes the read this novel I highly suggest it. And anyone who would want to discuss it please comment I want to know your views on this novel as well.
