Assignment #1. My Hero A hero is someone who dedicates their life to something bigger to themselves. Mohandas Gandhi is a prime example of a true hero. Gandhi's physical quest is to free India of imperialism and his spiritual quest is to become one with nature and find inner peace. Gandhi's journey is not the same of a normal hero. He goes on a quest but he doesn't really have a learning stage. Gandhi just doesn't have a true mentor like the typical hero. So he has to learn everything on his own and teach himself how to fight. After he learns how to fight he hits the Brutish Empire head on. The way Gandhi fights isn't exactly what you'd think. His special weapon he uses is peace. He does not use violence in anyway or form. He and his supporters just peacefully protest while the British Empire beats the protesters over and over. But the Indians just keep tredding. After long years of fighting the British break giving the Hindu and Muslim people of South Asia freedom. In conclusion, Gandhi is a prime example of a true hero because of his willingness to give and sacrifice for his ultimate goal, peace. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi My perfect world would be to live in a small cabin on top of a large mountain in California. Here it would be cool and warm but it's never a temperature that is rediculous. I would bring all of my family, close friends, and my dog, Lucy. Everyday we could just go hiking, swimming, and fishing all day long. I would never have to worry about my school work and chores. Everyone could just kick back and relax. The surrounding scenery would be beautiful and the wildlife would be amazing. No one would have to worry about anything because nothing bad would happen. Everything would be peaceful and tranquil. http://travellerguidance.com/how-old-are-the-rocky-mountains/
 * 1) 2 My Perfect World

In the past few months, I was given a gift that could help me out very much or could hurt me very badly. The gift I was given was a wallet. A wallet can really benefit someone because you can store all your valuables there and keep everything together. Not having one leads to little stashes of money and your cards will be all over the place. But wallets can lead to great risks. People are extremely forgetful and lose things often. So if you lose your wallet, you could lose lots of money and valuable cards. Because of that, having a wallet comes with great responsibility. Having a wallet also means that you are growing up. Getting a wallet means you are starting your journey to become an adult. []

The main turning point in my life up to this point, has to be the change from elementary school to middle school. Elementary school was chill and everything was handed to you on a silver platter. Now in middle school, the teachers throw information at you like you are playing a game of dodgeball. There is so much more responsibility and work. Also with getting more responsibility you would think more freedom would come with that. Us middle schoolers have no freedom. But even with being locked in a prison and lots of work and responsibility, these two years in the middle school will help prepare me for high school and the rest of my life ahead of me. []

This is the End of Time Where people die And parents cry Forests burn And Seas dry Children hide And bodies rot Now this is the End of Time []

Metamorphosis is when an organism has a profound change from a smaller less complex organism to its next "life". In the myth, Baucis and Philemon, they both undergo a large change in their lives after they let Zeus and Hermes stay in their home for a night. They go from some random people living in the country to maintaining a temple made by the gods. In theory this would be an honor right? The gods gave them this as a reward, but in their case it's a punishment. They preferably would want to live there life before they met the gods. Now they are stuck in this huge temple and will wither away. But the gods gave them one wish, and this is when they die, they will die together at the same time. []
 * 1) 6 Change

In our world today there are a lot of changes that have occurred. There are two types of changes, the good ones and the bad ones. The big change that has occurred in the past decade has to be the way kids grow up. This change can be good and bad. A decade ago when I was 4 in 2006, there was no iPhone, Instagram, and phone apps. I grew up watching Scooby Doo, Cartoons, and The Wiggles. Kids don't have that anymore. They spend their Saturday's on there iPads and parents phones, not watching your Saturday morning cartoons. The difference in the technology from my childhood to these kids childhood is dramatically different. Kids get to watch movies on Netflix and On-Demand. All of my movies used to be in video format for the VCR. All of the new technology has changed the world dramatically for the good and the bad. The good news about new technology is that they get to play around with this technology and create new things and mess around with it. The bad thing about technology is that kids start to be more fascinated with the latest photo Kim K posted, not the war going on in Iraq. Another bad thing about technology is that kids get exposed to bad/inappropriate things at an early age. The jump in our technology in the last ten years has been amazing and everyone thought it would help society dramatically, but it has also pushed society back in some ways. []
 * 1) 7 Changes in our World

Every season of the year has its pros and cons but the one that I like the most and the one that is my favorite is Winter. Winter is my favorite season because you get all the nice cool/cold weather, usually sunny, you get to sit by the fire, football and basketball are on the TV, and you get to play in the snow. Even though all the leaves are off the trees and most of the plants are dead it's still a beautiful season. Some of the holidays you have during winter are Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Years Eve. Even though winter is the dark/Iron Age it is still a great season. There is a lot of death and little life activity but you don't have hot, humid temperatures and sun burns, just nice cool temperatures with no bugs! Also since there is usually a lot of snow you to stay inside and bond with your family and watch some movies. Winter is just like every season, each season has its pros and each one has its cons. []
