Future enjoyment

      Have you ever been extremely excited about something. Something coming up that you have been looking forward to for a long time and all of that built up emotion making you more and more excited. This is a very pleasent feeling because you get it all inside up you making you more excited the more you think about it. Then when that thing happens all of that emotion is released at once and it is one of best feelings there is.

Values

Everyone values different traits from other people. This is part of why people aren't all friends with the same people. Which is a very good thing because this shows that people are able to have different friends without having one group with the same traits aren't unliked. One trait that I value a lot in people is the ability to bring humor to a serious or depressing topic. One other important trait is the yability to prioritize the right things and being generous. So all in all people valueing other traits is a very important part of being human and is different in everyone.

Fear

Over this summer I will be going on 2 week long camp outs and one 2 week long one. I will be doing a variety of activities on these events but the one I am most scared about is a the national jamborees zip line. I am scared of this because they said to participate it is something that all scouts will have to try. I am very scared I have never been on one. But I do feel better because I have seen it on YouTube and it does not seem like a 45 degree angle but A steady fall. So if you are scared of something looking it up on YouTube could be your solution.

Lord of the flies the book

For a school project I recently read a book called lord of the flies. This book is considered to most a classic. It is about a group of children that are in a airplane that crashes while a bomb is dropped at there airport. So the children are stranded and forced to survive. Rather than a story of survival story it focuses on the psychological effects on isolation. Showing the boys change over time. I personally did not enjoy this story in my honest opinion. I would however recommend this book to whoever enjoys stories showcasing people's behavior change in certain scenarios. The book as I did not enjoy it, it was entertaining with the character developments and twists. So all in all although I did not enjoy the Lord of the Flies it was entertaining and could see how others might like it.

Last weekend

Last weekend had lot in it. To get started on Saturday I woke up at six in the morning. To go canoeing with my Boy Scout troop. But there were problems with too many people so I ended up getting a canoe with no seats in it. Right after that I got to the pancake breakfast set up at 2 with my troop. Afterward I went to a white son against Indians baseball game. The white sox lost badly. After that day was over I woke up at six again on Sunday. But this time for my troops actual pancake breakfast. Which I had to leave early at 11:30 because of a camp out I am staffing at in the summer. While I was there for about 5 hours I tweaked my presentation and talked to the kids there. Then finally I left a half hour early to go to another camp out meeting I am attending in the summer. So along with all of the early wake ups I went to sleep at around 10:30 each night. So all in all I had a phenomenal amount of stuff in my weekend.

The long weekend

In my school we got to skip school on Friday due to it being good friday. On Sunday it was Easter so to Celebrate my family went to Naperville with my aunt, cousins, and grandma. Once we got there we unpacked and ran around and had fun the first day. But on the second day we went on an Easter egg hunt and had more fun and the left. During the Easter egg hunt I was determined to find the  most eggs. One humorous thing was that when it started my cousin ran past an obvious egg and into a mud pit losing his shoe. In total I spent around a day and a half there. So it total I really enjoyed my time in Naperville and would go again.

Holocaust movie review

              The movie life beautiful is a depressing story about a holocaust survivor. The movie is a historical fiction tale but under realistic circumstances. The dad was originally the main character to establish personality but at the end it was revealed that the child was retelling the story in the holocaust. The beginning sets up the beginning sets up the personality while middle and end shows the conflict. Upon first entering they did a good job contrasting the dads personality with longer lasting survivors. One of the main characters friends has returned has returned as a nazi but has gone crazy and they have to change plan making the movie end the way it did. The movies representation of the holocaust is very realistic in showing the character development.
              The movie connects widely with what I have learned. It shows what a ghetto would be like and how miserable and soul crushing it is. This movie shows how hard it was to keep high spirits in the face of such adversity. It as well shows how many casualties there were. They also show how normal and otherwise happy people were affected by the nazis. The movie shows how serious the nazis were about their job was to them.
              This movie has two different parts and the first half gets you attached and fond of the characters. It also shows how they were just normal people. While the second part focuses on what it is like to be trapped and suffer in a ghetto. Both of these have completely different themes as one shows a happy life while the other shows misery. While both of these are very different it brings back an overly happy person making even the ghetto.
             The movie is full of many happy moments but there are two that stick out to me. The first one   is when the man first enters the ghetto and claims to speak German to sell a lie to his kid. The lie is not bad because it keeps his kid happy throughout the ghetto. This really shows how much he loves his kid because he is willing to die before his kid dies and suffers. Another happy moment is when the dad mocks the soldier in front of his kid. This is happy because it shows how even in the darkest of times there can be joy. Because the dad knew he would die he tried to keep his kid happy and with good memories.

Regret kills

Regret is a very unpleasant emotion because it shows what you failed to do and tears you down. I regret many things but the two big things are not going to my martial arts class in a long time and quitting violin. I regret these things because they really honed in 2 of my skills. While both of these could have benefited me later in life I just stopped. I am not really sure why because of how long ago it was but I still feel the conflict. When I was younger I did many things that I still regret and like everyone I have a big list of things that I wish I would've done, didn't do, or finished. So all in all I believe my life would be contrasted to now in a good way if I did not quit.

Nazi propaganda

This poster reads "long live Germany". This is one of the nazis many propaganda posters that they used to promote themselves. For people who don't know, propaganda is advertisement through something that raises the truthe. Although propaganda can be good this is not one of those examples because this promoting the extermination of Jews. He put this poster because it attempts to portray him in a glorious way. It is also trying to say that he cares for Germany. Propaganda could be used for good uses like promote gender equality, racial equality, global warming, etc. But with Hitler's use to try and do a complete massacre is not a good reason. This propaganda is especially bad because of how much it stretches the truthe by saying that Hitler is a good person, he really believes in Germany, and how he is a good leader. This propaganda is hugely lyeing that Hitler believes in Germany because he helped put Germany in a worst position.

Perseverance

The moment that I am choosing to write about in my life is when I had to take the essay structure test. The reason I chose this because it was really hard and it took a lot of practice. Sadly I did not pass it and I am still attempting to pass the retake. But it brought out many character traits including perserverance, hard working, and dedication. It showed these because of how hard I studied. But I couldn't explain or analyze some of the answers which is why I did not pass. So I think that this is a good example because of the amount of studying.

Happiness makes me happy

Things that make me happy are: The 1st thing is candy because of the taste that happens after you put in your mouth and the build up of it slowly going in. The second thing is family because they brought me in and keep fueling me to keep me going. The third thing that makes me happy is friends because they keep me entertained and not at all vulnerable. The fourth thing is humor this makes me happy because humor is almost essential to life. The fifth thing is video games because they keep me entertained in different ways based on what I want. The sixth thing is breaks because they do an adequate job at keeping me focused and content. The seventh thing is music because I feel a deep connection with it and really enjoy it. The eighth thing is new experiences because they give me different outlooks on the world and makes it worth while. The nineth thing is helping others because it fills me with joy when others are happy. The tenth thing is making others laugh because it is like helping them but feels much more gratifying. The eleventh thing is randomness because this keeps life different and makes every day different from the last. The twelfth thing is challenges because these push me to be better at what ever is on hand. The thirteenth thing is relaxation because this is what all of the hard works has led to and feels great. The fourteenth thing is compliments because they boost everyone's emotion and makes everyone happy. The final thing is others happiness because it is amazing to have others smile.

       

Tide commercial

This commercial is about someone getting a stained shirt, going viral, then using tide to fix it. I chose this commercial to analyze because it shows how far bullying goes. Because he gets one simple shirt stained and everyone is laughing at him because of it. As well as these bullying trends this commercial also shows how one man can really help someone. Because of how a man let's him use his laundry machine. This also shows how with perserverence and hard work most adversities can be solved. This is also shows when you have something bad happen to you even your friends can turn on you. So in conclusion, this commercial meant to be silly has some real serious topics from bullying to politeness so it is more serious than meant to be.

Advice

For our new president Donald Trump. He is receiving a lot of bad comments for the things he has done so far. I agree with some of the negative comments but he should be receiving more improvement tips. So if I could give Donald Trump one piece of advice it would have to be to do what would benefit everyone. When I say this I do not mean everyone In America but I mean globally. So things you could do are avoid wars, make treaties, make reasonable deals, and be generally nice to other countries. Also what you could do to help is build trust between other places. Also you could take other countries successful ideas and use them like finlands education. So all in all the advise I would give to Donald Trump would be to be considerate to everyone in the world.

Argument

I was once talking to my mom when we suddenly in a bad arugement. We were arguing about me getting bad grades and I was saying they were fine. But she said I should be grounded. We eventually walked out of it after a couple weeks of grounding. So it all worked out but it still was pretty bad. I was still in elementary school when this happened so I do not get very bad grades anymore but it still happened. I still feel very bad about the subject though.

Nice thing

Something nice I did over winter break was shoveled a friends lawn. I did this because I wanted to help my moms friend. My mom gave me the offer so I did it so at least I felt good because of generousity. I did not regret this decision in any way because I felt better for doing it and because I knew it helped someone else. The whole thing took me around a half hour. Afterward I came home feeling accomplished and full of energy. Sadly it was kind of cold out so there was that but it was completely worth it.

Spud

This book that I have read is called "spud". Spud is a good book about a kid in middle school going to a boarding school. But the main story is not all about getting used to a new school. It is more focused around his friends (the crazy eight) and a couple girls. In this story he has some bullying in the crazy eight. Because of his late pubescent body. The crazy eight consisted of the main character spud, gecko, Vern, Rambo, fatty, mad dog, Boggo and Simon. Note that all of these are nicknames. I would recommend this book to people who want a non fiction book with some inappropriate parts in it and many teenage problems. I really did enjoy this book in general from all of its parts to make it great in many ways.
