Shakespeare's language

"Thou art a forbidden ronyon! Never again shall I speak to such a miser!"cried the statist. "A mob shall I send after you for all of thy ropery!" Then the rudesby young man rid himself of all the statist's possessions while running down the road in search for a hoy in the harbor.

Idol of idiot-worshipers!
To me that means that who ever he was talking to he was calling stupid.

Quotes To Think About

I choose the quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson that said "We boil at different degrees." It could be referring to a lot of things. Maybe he was saying that everyone is different and unique. Or he might meant more specific things like when we mature or perhaps how smart we are. He might have even meant it as in what social class we are in.

Personally, I think he was referring to how everyone is their own person.

9/11


Eight years ago I was living in a little town called Cushing, Texas. All I remember about 9/11 is my class making posters about it, I don't even remember my teacher's name. The weeks following 9/11, i remember making posters about the soldiers and having patriotic contests. I don't really remember hearing or seeing anything about it, at least not until the next year.

I think even 20 years from now we will still remember 9/11 even if we don't honor or commemorate it anymore. We will always remember it.

I think the terrorists chose to attack America because we're the top dogs. We represent freedom and power and maybe they chose to attack us because we stand for something. To let the world know what they think of us and our choices.

Both of my parents were in the army and they retired to have a family together, but for some reason unknown to me, my mother decided to get back in after 9/11. So she was gone for almost two years either training or in Iraq. I think the attack greatly affected her and my father, maybe not directly, but it did affect them.

If I were to write a story about 9/11, I would choose a point of view from someone who was beside the Twin Towers. Or maybe even working in the towers. My story would be about what they went through and what they're thoughts might have been.

Friendship

My morals, values, and beliefs are more important to me than friendship. It's a part of me and I'm not willing to give that up for someone who is making me choose between them and me.
