i rememeber when i was little that i used to do a lot of dangerous stuff out of peer pressure. i rememeber one day this kid in my class would all ways call me fat and stupid every time he would say that to me i would all ways get so mad. so one time i told him a lot of stuff back because i couldn’t take it any more then there was a crowed forming around us and ever one kept saying to fight, fight, fight witch then is what we did. i cant remember who was the one that punch who first but all i remember is that we got in to a fight and we both got pretty hurt. even though i knew better of fighting with him and knew what could happen with we did the peer pressure was just to great for me back then. i regret fighting with that kid just because every one was pressuring and pressuring me to fight him . we both got hurt really bad and we both got in trouble pretty bad too. ever sense that day i have never let my self ever do any else that i didn’t want to do out peer pressure any more ever sense that day. even though people kept pressuring me to do some thing i all ways mad sure that i didn’t do what they want me to do but what i want to do for my self.

i remember when i was little that i did some thing. but i was pretty small but big enough to know from right to wrong. i remember that me and my little sister had a piggy bank were we would keep all are little change that we would get. one day my little sister had tricked me saying that she was going to put my quarter in my piggy bank but instead she put my quarter in her piggy bank. when i found out i was pretty mad at her so i tried to take matter in my own hands i was pretty small back then so i would all ways get what was mine. so when i couldn’t get my quarter from her piggy bank i broke it to get my quarter. i knew that i shouldn’t have broke it because it was just one quarter but i wanted what was mine. by the time i got my quarter my little sister had found out that i had broke her piggy bank to get my quarter and told my mom. my mom got mad at me and told me to go to my room to think about what i did. i felt a little guilty because i broke it but i didn’t feel so bad for it she tricked me and faced the consequents of it.

being asked if i ever been jealous of a friend thinking about it yes i have been a couple of time. i remember being little that i all ways wanted to have the best things out there but being a little on the poor side. i was never able to get all the very expansive stuff that some of my other friends were able to get. like all the new shoes that had came out and ever one of my friend would get them. i would want to be like them and get the same kind of shoes but i wasn’t able to. i was jealous about my friends cause they were able to get most of the stuff that they all ways wanted when i usually wasn’t able to get any thing. but being asked if a friend ever been jealous of me i believe i can answer that ever easily. i don’t believe that i ever had any of my friends jealous of me because really there nothing really for any of my friend to have any thing to jealous of me. so there was never any thing for me to do because i never had some one jealous of me or any one that i know of. even know i have been jealous of some of my friends are friendship have survived its just a way of life and i excepted that so i ever did any thing that would destroyed the friendship that i had with any one

i would pick Antony as the protagonist because we wanted to show justice when they killed Julius Caesar when ever one else was on brutes side when they killed him and no one was going to do any thing to him just because he thought that he was saving Rome for doing it. so when Antony was doing something about showing that even if he action were for the good he cant just go and kill any one they please on doing. that is the reason why i think Antony is the protagonist of this play. the one i think that is the antagonist is Cassius because he was just mad that Julius Caesar didn’t give him any slaves and wanted to help the poor people. so because Cassius didn’t get any money or slaves he was mad at Julius and wanted him to be kill. so that he wouldn’t worry about losing any money if Julius try’s to do something he doesn’t like so for trying to make his plain work he got Julius best friend to help him kill him. he didn’t just say why he really wanted him to die when he tried to get him on his plain he had to trick him with his smart words. i think the titled name is correctly because its main about Julius Caesar and what had happen to him, why they did it, also shows what had happen after his death.

the toughest decision i ever had to make was telling the truth about what my friend did when he got in trouble. i didn’t know what to do it was so hard to deiced if i should tell what he did and that it was him or not to say any thing so he wouldn’t get in trouble with the school. i know what the right thing i needed to do but i didn’t like the right thing. so when i was thinking about what would happen if i did it then i know i would lose him as a friend and that he wouldn’t trust me any more like he does. yet if i do tell on him then i be telling the truth and i wouldn’t have a burden on me knowing that i lied for him so he wouldn’t get in trouble. it was a very hard decision for me to make but at the end i knew what i was supposes to do. i had decided not to tell on him and have his back knowing that i was lieing for him and that if they do find out it was him that i would all so get in trouble but i knew it was worth it he was my friend a very close friend it was something that i just had to do like there was a code. just like Brutus had to make a decision about killing his best friend for the greater good i think he was wrong for doing it though. because he thought that if he was to become king things would be bad yet he wasn’t really thinking about how well he was as his friend and thinking if he was to be king. so i think he was wrong but thats just me.

my loyalty from my friends is pretty important to me like it would be to every one else. beacuse when ever u want to talk to your friend about somthing that you just wont say to any one you need to know that that have your bad and wont betread you or back stab you. if they didnt have that loyalty then it you wouldnt be able to feel safe around them or be able to talk to them with full confadents like you would like to if they didnt have loyalty with you. i can rememeber a time when my friend stood by me when i was about to get in a fight with some one. i rememeber them saying for me not to do it and that i should just leave it alone but if i was to still do it they would be there that nothing bad happens and some one trys to jummp in it and it not being a unfair fight. my friends are pretty loyal to me they have been there when ever i needed it from them and im able to count on them. i have never let some one down and im not going to start now. no matter what i all ways tried and do what i said i was going to do or do any thing they asked of me to do for them. even if i was not able to do some of the stuff for them i still tried to do as much as i can for them.

superstition is a belief or notion, not based on reason or knowledge, in or of the ominous significance of a particular thing, circumstance, occurrence, proceeding, or the like. there are some superstition that i know of is the 2012 theory when they think that the world is going to end. that is one of them that a lot of people have heard and some believe in. yet we are not for sure and have no prof if it is going to end or what any thing well happen in that year. there are some truth in some superstition even thou most of it i do believe is not real some times not all but in some superstition there could be truth in it letting you know that something it could happen or might come truth or well happen. there is a time when i didn’t follow a superstition and nothing happen it was the one when that every one thought that the devil would come and destroy the world and cause lots of disaster instead of hiding or being scared like some people did. i went out and had a good time that day just like i all ways have i went to the movie with a couple of people then after that got a grab a bite of something to eat then after then went home. after all that nothing happen no evil thing came up or something worser then that it was just a regular day just like any other day.

a tyrant is a person that as a lot of power over something and abused his power over it because he can do what ever he wants. some example of modern tyrants are one Hitler and sudomhusane are some that i can think of off the top of my head. the difference between a tyrant and a monarch is that a tyrant doesnt have any rules holding him or she back from being able to do any thing they want to do. yet with a monarch they have rules that they have to obay to even if they dont want to they still do when tyrant dont have any rules holding them back. my oppion on tyrants is that they dont make good leaders beacuse no matter how good of a person or how nice you are power all ways crupts you. so tyrants as leaders maybe loseing a war but if they are harded and say not to retrate from it then he just going to keep and keep on making u fight and fight. so there for there ever being a chances on winning the war you dont beacuse they just keep making u go at it when u are losing. i am gladded that america doesn’t have a tyrant because if we did it would suck so bad because we wouldn’t be able to do any thing we would want to if the leader had forbid it. also if we were ever to disagree about any thing they have to say or do we wouldn’t be able to do any thing about it because we wouldn’t have any power to be able to.

Oh my god i cant believe what i am seeing right now. my am i crying yes yes i am crying. i cant even say how happy i am right now i’m so happy tears are flowing out of my eyes like a river. i didn’t think this day would ever come but it did we are being rescued. after being here for so long i had lost fate in ever being rescue i didn’t think we were ever going to get of this island. but now i’m going to be able to go home again. even though i hated being here on the island ever day there were some parts that i did like that. some of my favorite parts where that there was no parents to be telling us what to do all the time. i was able to make my own chose and do what i wanted to do with out any adults saying no. then being able to go swiming ever day for as long as i wanted to was the best. i didnt have to hear any one saying it was time to get out of the water or saying that i shouldnt be in the water for so long i was able to swim for as long as i wanted and get out when ever i wanted to. that was one the really good upside on being stranded. the worst part of being stranded was that we had to work to get are food every day, and had to make are own shelter, and not being able to be really actually clean with a nice shower.

when ever i was stranded on the island it was tarable but i say that we had it better then the people that were in the LOF. for one reason i think that none of us died like they did in the LOF. we were able to work together and not have any one try and fight about any thing. if i was stranded with the characters in the book. there would be something i would of done differnt. for one i wouldnt have let any one go and hit any one or try and be bigger then any one else. i would have tried and find ways for us to be able to survive better.

wow to day wasnt so great, we had two teams go off to get food for the day. one of the team was to go and hunt when the other one went to go and fish some food. at the end of the day only the ones that went to go hunting were able to get any thing. they were able to get a pig when the ones that were to chatch some fish didnt get a single fish at all. so when it was time to cook the food and eat thats when the trouble started. the hunters thought that they should be able to eat more then every one else because they were the ones that cought the pig and they thought it was only fare. so when that had happen man fighting had just blew up i had to do something to get every thing under controle. so i said that every one had to eat equaly no matter what you cant not except that sence you were part of the ones that got the pig.you shouldnt think that you can have more food for then every one else beacuse they every one else is going to want to eat more then the other people that need to eat too. so if that would to happen there wouldnt be any food left for any one else. after saying all thoughs things they started to understand that i was right and that every one should eat equaly. but believe me it was a lot harder to make that happen then the way i make it sound for a couple of times i didnt think i would be able to do it. yet at the end i finally got it under controle. even though there was a big fight about the food to day was a ok day yet i still wish thats some one would come and save us so we be able to go home. i am all ways thinking of home and how we mit ever leave this place but no matter what i know i have to keep hoping that i do get of this island. well this is enough for to day i well right some more later on.
