He was willing to fight the British even though he could not do it by himself. He starved himself twice to prove that he would do nothing but fight the British. He created a form of nonviolent protest that was later used by Nelson Mandela and MLK Jr. #2 In my perfect world everyone would get to go to school, be nice to one another, and have to work for what they earn. First of all, everyone would go to school to be able to have the same opportunities as everyone else in the world. If people know what they want to do when they grow up, then they can go to school to learn how to succeed in that job. They can also learn other subject to be able to help anyone who needs it. Secondly, everyone could live a happier life if everyone was nice to one another. There could also be fewer deaths if people were nicer. Friends would be made easier when people help others. Finally, everyone would need to work for what they earn to keep balance in power. No one should complain about someone else making more money because he had the same opportunity as everyone else. In the end, my perfect world would be more productive and more peaceful with everyone being nicer to everyone else. andrew, this just rambles! your points are valid, but not well stated.

#3 One gift that I have learned that I have is the gift of doing very well in a couple of my classes. Doing well in school throughout the year has helped me get good grades and help my GPA. I probably would not a couple of my friends if I was never in the classes that I am in, so I am thankful for being smart enough to be with them. I can also view being smart as a bad thing. I am capable of getting “A”s and doing well so there is a lot of pressure on me. So many people expect me to do well that I want to get out from the middle of everything. Being smart helps me succeed in school but also holds me back. #4  When my family first moved to Atlanta we lived on Ft. McPherson, the military base north of East Point. Living on a military base is very safe; we hardly ever locked our front door and never locked our car. We left our house unlocked so our neighbors could check on our pets when we were gone on break. When Ft. McPherson was about to close my parents bought a house in College Park, so my brother and I could still be close to Woodward. After living in College Park for a couple months we learned very quickly that living off post was not as safe. Our car has been broken into two times, we had an alarm system installed on the house, and we have to lock all of our doors. There have even been nights when we have heard gunshots in the neighborhood. All of these things have made me realize that there is evil in this world, and that we cannot take our safety for granted.

#5 Greed will end the world It will bring war to the land, sea, and sky It will cause people to envy people It will repeat history

War will end the world It will bring fire and destruction It will cause people to fight people It will repeat history

We will end the world We will bring greed We will cause war We will repeat history

We can save the world We can share, not steal We can play, not fight We can make history



#6 In the story of Midas, King Midas is granted anything that he wishes. He is very greed and wishes for his infamous touch of gold. Midas soon learns that with his wish he not able to touch anything that he does not want to turn to gold. His view in transformed to understand that there is more to life than money.

In today's world technology is growing very quickly. Within the past few decades, technology has gone from being something not everyone could have to something that no one can escape. Before most everyone had to go to a library to find information, but now people just go on their phones to find everything. Some people have trouble having real conversations because they are all used to texting each other. #8 Fall is a time of change and contemplation. Wild animals prepare for Winter, plants begin to lose their leaves, and people are coming home from family vacations. I enjoy the Fall because I get to see all of my friends that I haven’t seen for a couple months. Many holidays during the Fall are about remembering the past. Labor Day, Patriot Day, and Veterans Day are all about a time when the world grew up. My birthday is in October, so every Fall means that I am another year older and another year closer to the end of childhood.

The archetypes in “Man the Myth-Maker” represent the way humans go throughout the day. The Golden Age is the morning and a brand new day ahead. The end of childhood is the slows parts of the day with traffic. The flood is the end of the day when everyone is ready to go to bed. Metamorphosis is the night when everyone rests to get ready for the next day.

This unit has taught me that everything will change at some point whether from human involvement or from nature. No one can stop the end of childhood, nor can they stop the seasons from changing. Things will happen to everyone even if nobody wants it. We are born we grow and we die. Everyone's live goes the same direction, but it is our own choice of what we do with it.
