Martin Luther King Jr.

In this world, a very special few entities can be classified as heroes, and Martin Luther King Jr is definitely one of them. At a young age, Martin experienced first hand segregation and racism, and went through a spiritual change that would change the direction of his life. Because of Martins knowledge and perception of racism, he gave his life to a greater cause, the civil rights movement. Martin played arguably the biggest role in civil rights history because of his uncontested perseverance and his ability to move a crowd with his words, which gave him the power he needed to make a change. Martin was not only an accomplished speaker and leader, but also a husband and father. Martin was husband to Coretta Scott, who also aided the civil rights movement by helping those targeted by segregation. This Luther family persevered through the times of racism, always risking their lives for the entire country and the black community. Though Martin had given his live for a bigger cause and delivered many famous speeches such as the I Have A Dream speech, his miraculous life came to a halt when he was murdered by a gunman at age 39, yet his legacy will live forever.

My Perfect world- Assignment #2

In my perfect world, i would golf all day long. There would be multiple glamorous courses there such as pebble beach, and others. It would be not to warm, but not too cool, but a perfect equilibrium between the two. I would dine at exclusive restaurants, surrounded by friends and family, as we dine through the night and have a great time. In this place, I would never get tired, so i would not miss any of the action. This world would be in the shape of a golf ball, and be the prime location for anything golf. This world would never have any reason to go to war, and there would peaceful, and happy. I wish I could go to this place, but sadly, it does not exist.

Assignment #2- God teacher....... Gifts.

Golf is my most valued gift. I never hesitate to buy new clubs, play some golf, watch golf, or anything else golf related, because I value golf so much. I was introduced to golf two years ago at thanksgiving when i defeated my uncle at golf, and from there I have played golf any chance that I get, including late summer nights when I still have studying. Golf has its good, but it also has many downsides. Golf prevents me from having much family time, because of late night practices and tournaments. At first, when I was younger and I had no homework, i thought hat I could play golf all day without problem, but time has shown that it is very hard to handle golf and school.

You have to figure out how to get a scholarship out of it, if you devote so much time to it.



Assignment #4- End of Childhood.

In this world, when a child goes through a large, depressing event, we call it an "end of childhood." My end of childhood came 3 years ago, when my first relative passed away. Three years ago, my grandfather died of cancer, and that really hit me hard because at the time I had never had to go through a death in the family, or any losses in that matter. This event made me realize that life is not all full of fun gains, but also of sad loses.

Assignment #5

Lonely, Stranded, nowhere to go. How I got here, I don't know.

There was a flash, so big and bright And now there is nothing left in sight.

God almighty so big and bold Has brought me to this wasteland, long behold

Now I am the Noah, to bring back the land In this vast wasteland, filled with black sand.

Assignment #6

In the story "Midas", king Midas is told by a god that he may be granted one wish. Hearing this through the greedy ears that Midas has, he rashly commands the god to give him the " touch of gold". Before long, the greedy king receives the powers but soon realizes that he is not able to eat or drink. Asking for forgiveness and a redoing of the power, the god does take away the tough of gold, but punishes midas by CHANGING his ears into ass's ears as a punishment for his greed.



Assignment #7

Today, in our world, change is around every corner. I think that the most common example of this change is ourselves. Every human being, male or female, experiences change in their lives. Whether its growing taller, getting stronger, or your voice changing, change is a common ground for every entity on every planet. Change is universal, and can be related to by everyone.

Assignment #8- seasons of the year.

As a golfer, I personally enjoy Spring the most of all the seasons. Spring provides a warm, not hot, environment. During the spring I love to see the golf courses change from dull and dead to exuberant and beautiful. Also, the spring greatly relates to the golden age for me because everything seems to be perfect, and the world comes back to life.

The Man the Myth maker unit has taught me many valuable things. This unit has taught me about double edged swords, god teachers, and the creation as well as the destruction of man. I have learned that things are not alWays what they seem and to never assume anything. This unit I feel has provided me with much knowledge of not only the gods and goddesses but their stories of how they came about and what they really stand for. Looking back to the beginning of this lesson, I now see myself much less naive from a social standpoint and I feel like I have much more awareness of life and how everyone goes through the cycle of life and how to deal with my difficult situations in life. Finally, I must say that this lesson has helped me greatly and will influence many of my decisions for years to come.
