"Real World" Issue- Iraq War

Scenario:
President Barack Obama,

Eight years ago, September 11, 2001, two planes crashed into World Trade Center, killing 2,976 innocent citizens. Immediately after the attack in America, Iraq invaded Israel because of their religion. President George W. Bush’s decision was to strike Iraq and help protect Israel. As vice president of the United States, it has come to my attention that you’ve decided to return our troops to America and create world peace, by talking to the president’s of Iraq and the countries around them. This decision could put innocent lives at risk and create a war in our own country. This letter will change your mind into returning our troops.

Solution:
Seven years ago, March 2003, Osama bin Laden – the mastermind behind 9/11 – built nuclear weapons to destroy Israel. America couldn’t go through with him attacking Israel, therefore President George Bush made a brilliant decision to go and invade. It showed Iraq that America is a powerful country and is not cowarldy to fight back. Your solution is to return the troops to America. This future decision I disapprove of. Taking the troops back could cause innocent lives to be lost and a war in our own country. Our troops are like a mother duck. Wherever the mother duck walks, the newborns will follow. Iraq is like the newborns. If the troops come back, the Iraqis will follow and the next war will occur in America and kill most of the innocent lives, the Americans. You can solve this issue with one simple task, keep the American troops in Iraq.

If we leave Iraq, then Israel won’t have anybody to protect them. Iraq will take over and destroy Israel, and might come and attack America. Masterminds from Asia will come together and will seek revenge. They will bomb America. If the troops stay in Iraq, then Osama bin Laden will not have the time to attack America because of the troops fighting for freedom, fighting for life, and fighting for protection.

Relation:
This world is already losing millions of lives, and we wouldn’t want to increase the number. This world will become irony and everything will turn upside down just like in the novel Fahrenheit 451. Guy Montag – a guy who lived in a ironic world, and was driven out of the city because the whole world was against him– was shocked when he saw a nuclear bomb wipe out the whole city. Nothing left, just him and dust. Nobody to run to, nobody to help him. Our world will become a world of war. Returning the troops to America will create a World War III and we absolutely do not want have a world like Montag’s. That one little decision, can turn the world upside down and put everyone in danger.

The End is Everywhere

Whoosh! Whoosh!
Standing there, nowhere to go
The sun just peeking over the the small, smooth, sand hill
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sand flowing through the air
Hitting my face and sliding through my mouth
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Glancing to the horizon, all around me,
Look north, no end
Look east, no end
Look south, no end
Look west, no end
The end is right where I am standing

Faber

In the novel, "Fahrenheit 451", Guy Montag meets one girl who gives him hope, Clarisse McClellan.She was a girl who was there for him, but unfortunately was killed by a car and Montag's hope has disappeared. Faber--an old man who once was a professor filled with knowledge--gives Guy hope again. "I just want someone to hear what I have to say. And maybe if I talk long enough, it'll make sense. And I want you to teach me to understand what I read." (pg. 82) Faber is like Clarisse. He is always there for him, always listens, and always helps. Although he is a lot older than Clarisse, he still has the same personality in this ironic world, love.

So LeWitt

Life-

So many expectations

Life-

So many boundaries

Life-

Like living in a box

People think that you can only go so far

People think you can't go beyond that box

What if we lived a life with no boundaries?

What if our box breaks letting all possibilities of meeting our expectations, possible?

Endless Amount of Love

Pip is a boy who lives with his abusive sister and her husband named Joe. In the mean time, Pip’s life is on the line because he has been threatened by a convict. Recently, Pip stole a pie to feed the convict. Pip was longing to tell Joe, but he was afraid to lose his trust. “But I loved Joe- perhaps for no better reason in those early days than because the dear fellow let me love him- and as to him my inner self was not so easily composed.” (pg. 40)

Joe is Pip’s trust, Pip’s hope, and Pip’s best peer. Pip is in a challenging situation, and Joe is Pip’s healthy escapism. Joe completes Pip’s heart and without Joe, Pip’s heart will crack, and his life will be unfulfilled. This quote relates to the theme in showing that Pip has an endless amount of love for Joe. Pip’s love for Joe, is so powerful, since Pip is an empty-handed boy, Joe is really all he has in his life. Joe is his guardian, and he will always protect Pip from all harm.

The Other Side of Me

Standing in a meadow, the sun, just about to peak over the earth, and the clouds floating down low, low to the ground. Trees, slouching over the wet grass. I look behind me. There's a black, tall, wet lamp post, made me had a feeling, a feeling of a boundary from imagination and reality. I turn my head, and I see a silhoutte of a person, scrunched over looking at me in a strange way. He starts limping over to me. All I could do is run. I'm running faster, and faster, and faster trying to get away from this revolting creature. Leaning over and trying to catch my breath, I finally lost him. When energy was flowing through my body, I turn around and there, standing right in my face, looking into my eyes, was a slimy, green, full of acne, with his teeth rotton and yellow. Looking at him, was like looking at a witch. Trying to escape was a failure because everywhere I look --even if my eyes are closed --he is always there. This creature is almost a part of me, an evil part.
