"Have You Ever Thought?" by Wozlowski

Have you ever though that maybe our world is not what it seems to be? Maybe it is a ball of cheese and us "humans" are mice trying to find our meal. Or maybe, just maybe, our world is controlled by another!

How do we know if our planet is not just some video game to a random child? Us humans play games like Sims and we create worlds of our own. Our world may just be some child's "Sims".
This "child" could be controlling all of our thoughts and actions. He could be pressing one button after another controlling each and every one of us. Our minds could be his controller making us think whatever he wants. For example, look at how women get moody. Maybe it is this "child" turning us that way.

High-school teenagers change their mind about what they like and do not like all the time. Is it possible it is this "child" changing his ideas on the way he would like the teens to be? How do we know? Is this possible?

"A Happy World?" by bizel

I often wonder what the world would be like if everyone was rich--no poverty, everyone happy. Or would they be? If everyone had money, there wouldn't be anything to make someone different or extraordinary.

If you had an unlimited amount of money what would you do? Talk about anything that is humanly possible: go on vacation, buy a mansion. What would you do that makes you so different from everyone else?

"English 9 Honors" by TB3

Before the month of February, Geist's essay workload was somewhat acceptable for the English 9 Honors class. she would give us an occasional essay every other week. But for the past few weeks we have been getting pummeled by essay after essay, and on top of that, projects. It is becoming hard to even keep up, and get good grades because Geist grades so harshly. I have recently concluded that an eighty percent on one of her essays would be easily a one-hundred and fifty with any other teacher.

If you feel that Geist is working us too hard, as I do, please discuss it. You may also include what you want to do or what you would like to do.

What Do You Think About the Seniors?

I know you all still have another three years ahead of you, but believe me, those three years will f-l-y by.

Are you excited to become a Senior? Do you see a certain attitude among them? Do you think you will change during your time in high school? What do you think of the current seniors? Do they still scare you now that you have been in school for seven months?

I Can See Into the Future (Okay, Not Really)

I had a conversation with a friend of mine and I was complaining to her (shocker) that I did not know what was going to happen in ten years.

I don't (yeah, yeah Curse Word) know about you, but I would absolutely want to know about the future. Will I live my dream of living in Scotland for a year? Will I ever move away from the city?

If you knew the world was going to end in 2012, would you live your life differently? Would you go to college? Would you travel? What would you do?

If you could know the future, would you want to know it?

Okay, there are many questions to answer here, so have fun!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Once you have completed your Vocab Test answer all of the posts on this page.

My personal favorite is "ENGLISH IS LIKE A(N)..." IT IS NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE BLOG.

Have fun with the posts--be thorough! Be interesting! Be you!

SUPER Powers

So if you had one SUPER Power, what would it be? (Do not be a cheater that says, "My SUPER Power would be that I had all SUPER Powers!" That is lame-o so come up with one on your own!

I would tell you mine, but it is a bit morbid--not in an obsessed-with-death kind of way, but I think I would want a power like the one the angel has in It's a Wonderful Life. You know, where the guy's life is wiped clean from the earth as if he never existed. Well, I want to do that. Weird?

What Are You Reading These Days?

I know many of you read outside of the novels you are required to read for class. I was wondering what are you reading these days? Anything good that you would recommend to your classmates (and to me!)?

I am reading Madame Bovary and so far I like it. Madame Bovary is about this girl who has romaticized her life to the point that she cannot be happy with the one she has now. She is actually an unlikeable character but I feel like I can relate to her.

Next on my list is Looking for Alaska. I will let you know what I think!

"Pets" by my friend Jill

My friend Andrea put me up to this and I teach second graders so um, have fun with this one.

I have a black pug named Geno. My husband and I spoil him and treat him like he's a human boy. He sleeps in our bed, we take him everywhere, we dress him up for Halloween and we celebrate his birthday. (We put him in a Scooby Doo party hat.)

Is this weird? Are your pets part of your family and what do you do to spoil your pets?
