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.
