Global Warming

This topic I find is really hard to write about, mainly because I don't really know too much about global warming. All I really know is how global warming is caused. The only thing my family does that could help stop global warming is that we recycle our plastics. Our school however does a bit more. At school we recycle paper and some kids volenteer, I think, too collect the trash from around the school. Other than that I really don't know what we do to protect the enviroment.


Reflection:

These last two weeks have been pretty ok for the most part. I got my computer back today, which had been broken for the last couple of weeks. Spring break was ok, nothing really special happen other than going to the rodeo and starting and working on my mask. Near the end of the week however I became somewhat depressed, I had to make up a secretic semenar I missed about the Rwanda Genocide. One secratic semenar was online and on tuesday I just broke down crying about what had happen. I'm still a little upset about it but I've gotten better.

Something to say

We just got finished reading and learning about the genocide in Rwanda about 10 years ago. While reading about it I got this sense of anger and sadness at the same time. Anger at all the people who stood by and watched this happen, and Sadness at the senseless waste of human lives. I was in tears during a video we watched where they talked about the deaths of innocent people because of something that happen years before. I never understood why people hate each other, I was raised to be kind to all people. Why can people turn their heads and pretend not to hear the cries of children dying? How can people stand at the sidelines and watch a innocent person slaughtered.

We've become hypocrites, just hypocrites, we said "never again" yet it keeps happening again and again. I know there is evil in the heart of man, I just wish there wasn't. When I was little I used to believe everyone was good deep down. Now its reversed, everyone has a darkness deep down in the bottom of their heart. I just want some proof that there is goodness in humanity, that doesn't come after some disaster. I want to believe that humanity can be redeemed. No one's might ever read this, I don't care I just needed to get these thoughts out. Its seems that the only hope I can find in humanity is in fiction. I don't want to lose faith in the world, I just need one piece of evidence that there is goodness in the world, just one little piece of evidence. I am seriously crying right now, that's how strongly I feel about this subject. The killing of people, escpically children, sickens and enrages me, and I don't even like little kids.

That's all I have to say, if any one actually reads this besides Ms. Hollrah, see you Saturday night. Good bye.

Free topic: Anime

As I said last semester, my interest include Anime and music. I have a hard time explaining what I like about anime to people who don't watch. Its mostly the characters, I fine that good characters in any genre help pull the reader into the story. I also like seeing the reactions people get when I try to explain the plot of some animes. Heres an example, my favorite anime right now is "One Piece" which is about and pirate who is made of rubber after eating magic fruit, wants to be king of all pirates. Its actually a pretty good show and funny too.

I think the art style draws me in too. Each anime has its own art style and that helps with the mood sometimes. I also find the music relaxing or something that draws me in.


Reflection:
This past two weeks have been hard on me. One my computer stopped working for some reason, and I have to use my little sister's laptop while my computer gets fixed. Also for some reason I keep getting stressed at school, and I'm worried I'll just get too mad. So I'm looking forward to Spring Break for a little rest. We also got a mask project in Geography, I still haven't figured out what I want my mask to look like though.
