What class do you enjoy the most and why?

The class that I enjoy most is English. I like English because my friends are in my class. I like it because I like reading and I am good at English. I like this class because we do fun things sometimes. I get a decent grade in this class. The only things i don’t like about this class is that we have to go in front of the class and present things or speak.

Are you planning on going to college?  Why or why not?  If so, what will you study?  If not, what will you do instead?

I am planning on going to college. I am planing on going to college so I can get a good job. I want to further my education after high school. I will go into the medical field. I want to be a Cardiothoractic surgeon. I will have to go to college for about 7 or 8 years. If I don’t end up going to college, I want to be a photographer, but I will most likely end up going to college.

How do you know someone loves you, even if he or she doesn’t say it?

You know if someone loves you without saying it if they are always there for you. They will be there for you whenever you need them and try their best to make you happy. They will do kind things for you and help you out. They will have your back no matter what it is. They will check up on you to make sure you’re okay. They will show how much they care by doing kind things for you and being there when your down. And, they will listen to you.

Do you think girls are raised differently from boys? If so, in what ways?

Girls are raised differently from boys because of the toys they get. Girls get dolls and play dress up. Boys get toys like army men and toy cars and they supposedly like to “play in the mud.” Girls are taught how to help around the house and stuff and boys go outside and work or use tools. Girls wouldn’t be expected to do those things, and boys wouldn’t be expected to do the things the girls do. Boys and girls are raised very differently in my opinion.

Arranged Marriages

Do you think that arranged marriages would work in modern American Society?

I do not think that arranged marriages would work in modern American Society because most Americans don’t like being told what to do, especially when it comes to things like marriage. If we had arranged marriages, I think more than half of the people in society would be very upset. Some people are not compatible, and if those people get arranged to be married, I don’t think that they will be very happy together. That means a very troubled relationship in the future. I think that people should have the right to choose who they want to marry instead of having other people choose for them. That way people would have a better chance of having a happy future.

Why or why not should parents have any control over the personal lives of their children?

I don’t think that parents should have any control over the personal lives of their children because the whole point of having a personal life is for it to be personal. Their children want their space and their privacy. They don’t want their parents knowing about whats going on in their personal lives because most people want to deal with things on there own. Its private and and they want to keep it to themselves. That’s why its called their personal lives.

How hard is it to keep a secret? Are there circumstances when you think you should break a promise about keeping a secret?

For some people, its very hard to keep a secret. For others, it is very easy to keep a secret. There are circumstances when it is neccecary to break a promise about keeping a secret. For example: if someone is in danger or putting others in danger, then you need to say something about it. If the secret has something to do with an illegal activity or any crime, then someone should be notified about it.

Animal Farm

  • Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
  • Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
  • No animal shall wear clothes.
  • No animal shall sleep in a bed.
  • No animal shall drink alcohol.
  • No animal shall kill any other animal.
  • All animals are equal.

1). This is not a good rule because some humans are nice. This will become a problem when they are in need of help from the humans.

2). Not all animals with four legs of wings are friends to them. Some of them could turn against one another.
3). This is a good rule for them because animals don’t need clothes. This wouldn’t cause any problems in the future.
4). This is a good rule because animals don’t need to sleep in beds if only a few are able to, it wouldn’t be fair to the other animals.
5). This is good because if an animal were to drink alcohol, it would probably die. This wouldn’t cause any problems.
6). This is a good rule because if they are able to kill other animals, they would probably do it more often.
7). This is a good rule so that no one gets left out of anything. This wouldn’t cause any problems.
