I Am Poem!

I am creative and strong.
I wonder why life is such an adventure.
I hear music everywhere I go.
I see images in the sky.
I pretened life is just a giant movie.
I feel the soft ocean sand.
I touch hearts.
I worry about my family and future.
I cry in ALL movies.
I am creative and strong.
I understand everything happens for a reason.
I say wishing on a star can come true.
I dream that I could fly.
I try to always smile!
I hope someday we will have world peace.
I am creative and strong.

Christmas break!!

This break was for sure one I will never forget.  The first week my family and i did a lot together, and got ready for Christmas!  I went to the mall alot, and went ice skating!  I also hung out with my freinds a lot! We had a ton of movie nights, and sleepovers.  Every Chirsatmas eve, my grandma dresses up as Santa! So on Christmas eve I helped him get ready, and walked around the neighbor hood with him! It was tons of fun.  Then my family came over and we had a big dinner, opened some presents and went to bed.  On Christmas we opened presents, played games, and watched movies all day!  I got a new itouch and the new HTC Incredible!  The next week I went to the mall even more, hung out with friends..A LOT, and spent more time with my family.  New years eve was a party! At 2 in the morning after our party, my friend Afton ivited me, and a ton more friends to her house to have panckes, and play games!! That was super fun!  The only downer to my break was my whole family got sick with strep throat, and my sister got a kidney infection.  Other then that this break was AMAZING!!!

Utopias

I think that utopias can be both good, and bad.  The one is the book is an example of a bad utopia. I can't even begain to imagine a community with out color or memories.  Only fifty childeren were born a year, and if anymore babies were born they would be killed, or "released." I also think that it is a bad thing because they couldn't remember any memories.  If you really think about it, our world could have only come so far because of the past, and all everything the people in the past have created.  We wouldn't know anything if it weren't for the past, memoreis, and creations.  Our world has been able to come so far because of the help of others.  In Jonas's community no one actually helped eachother, unless it was a very important occation.  How were they able to make it so far with so little knowledge?  In this book utopias are not a good thing, in my opinion it was more of a distopia.  I know that because his community killed people, couldn't see color, and they weren't allowed to choose their own jobs. That is what I think.
