Man/beast?

Man vs. beast. Well, i believe that humans take on animalistic and beast-esque qualities at times, but we are capable of so much more. We do beastly things sometimes. Murder, poverty, slavery, war. Those are all beastly. We take things from others, judge, haunt, and taunt others of our own kind. Everything we do can be beastly or not, it all depends on what we want with our lives and how we choose to live. When we choose to let our guard down, have our personalities naked and out there, that is when we discover the beasts or angels inside of us. Everyone has a purpose, some to be beastly, but all to love. We are all capable of loving and love. In my opinion, that is what makes us different than beasts. Some choose to be murderous, some choose to be sexists, some choose to be war like. But everyone feels love in one way or another. At least it's how i see it. The whole damn Earth should be aware of stuff like this. If they took the time to answer this question. This has really made me think about what i want in life. Thank you, mr. ross. I mean that, too.
Peace.

Microfiction.

"So mom, what time will dad be home for dinner?", she said as she held the purple heart pin in her left palm. "He'll be a few months late." Her mom forced out the words with tears rolling down her face, knowing the truth was just too much to handle.



By the way, i know it's sad.
And this is something i wrote that is very close to me, because i have family members who fought in war (grandpa) and a lot of very close friends of mine have military families. Bring some troops home, we miss them. :)

Vocab homework

Precipitous. Now, i had this picture in mind the second i heard the definition of this word. The Notebook is one of my favorite movies and books, and this picture illustrates both meanings of the word. It is a good unexpected change (kiss), and it is a rainy area. Kapeesh?


Incognito. This is a picture i chose mainly because it's not only fitting of the word, but really cute. This is my kitten Tubby (my twin Sammy named her, not me) was trying to be hidden from my other kitten Moose (I named moose), when in a few minutes she was back to playing. She was being incognito in the squash basket, while not really all that hidden. Because she's black. :)

Paradigm. This is a picture of me in my hometown of santa barbara, at my grandma's house. It shows how i see my world. I see calm with things all around me, yet focusing on the big picture. The ocean is very important to me, and i see it as a huge part of my world. I see tranquility in chaos, and peace in hate.

Empathy. In the movie Little Miss Sunshine, the boy in the picture (Duwayne) finds out he can't fly planes (his dream that he took a vow of silence for) because he finds he is color blind after his little sister (olive) does an eye test. The family tries to reason with him, while he curses and is so upset. Olive puts herself in his place and realizes that the only thing he needs is a supportive shoulder, and some love.
