Whoopi Goldberg

Goldberg was good at one thing when she was a little girl. That one thing was being weird. Goldberg devoted herself to the arts and she knew that the arts was what she was going to do for the rest of her life. Goldberg was considered a "slow learner" because she had dyslexia and so she couldn't read till she was fifteen. No matter what she did art was always her passion and she knew what she was going to do.
Goldberg's story is touching. It teaches us that no matter how many things you can't do that there is always gonna be one thing that you are going to be good at. Through all the complications you can find your masterpiece and strive for it through your life. This lady had it all to grow up and go nowhere but with all the odds against her still found what she is great at.

A Rose for Emily

I enjoyed the story since it was telling about somebody's life. Emily seemed to be a very interesting character since her family was very rich. I couldn't put together though how they became rich or why they were so important or why they had so much authority. The story itself though was well put together over all. When Emily had bought the poison the author made the readers believe that she was gonna commit suicide but she never had. Emily used the poison to kill homer I'm pretty sure.

The story was a unique situation. This skinny pretty rich girl who's family was well known then all of a sudden she lost everything but her house and money. Who even knows where the African america came into there family situation and why he was so loyal to Emily. I enjoyed the entire story especially the end when they found homer dead and found out Emily had been sleeping with a corpse. The corpse was probably the reason for the bad smell around the house.

Indian camp

Indian Camp was an easy read. There was no difficult words in it or confusing situations. The dad it seemed was trying to teach the boy about being a doctor. It was unsure of how old the boy nick was but I would say he was a teenager of some sort. Nick didn't seem to posses strong emotions.

The dad regretted bringing nick along when the dad of the baby had cut his own throat. Nicks dad could not answer all of nicks questions with valid responses. Nobody knew the real reason the dad killed himself but the mom just had a kid and would have to deal with that. It wasn't much of a sad story but a boring one since it had no action or a growing story. The story just kind of began and ended with no worries or hesitations.

Benjamin Button

Benjamin Button was a well thought out story. It was neat how the story started off with Benjamin being born and ended with the day he died. I was Benjamin's entire life in a short story. There was no cliffhanger at the end that left you wondering what happened to Benjamin. The story started with Benjamin being born an old man in his seventies. The dad was shocked and did not like what had happened with his son.

Benjamin could talk when he was born but didn't know anything about the world. As the story progressed Benjamin her younger instead of older. He tried living life but people wouldn't accept him into schools or anything like that since he was a grown man. Benjamin ended up getting a family but the wife continued to grow old as he continued to grow younger. They had a kid and the kid at one point was older than his dad since he was still getting younger. The story was a great one to read and see this mans life even though it was not a real story. The story ended with Benjamin dying as an infant who was basically just born because he couldn't talk or walk anymore.

Research Report

When I hear the words research report I always get sad. The words "research report" basically means many papers due in about a week. It's just never something I want to do since it's basically just a bunch of homework. Through my years I have never once seen a kid smile when the teacher has said the words research report. They just are not happy words.

When I hear the words research report I think of many things. The vision i usually have of it is a big paper with many pages. I always think of doing something really in depth but then it just never ends up that way. The though of doing many pages of typing/writing is not ever a happy though.

If I made a mistake as president

This mistake is obviously a big one if even our government can't get correct spelling on documents that have gone through multiple people before being published most likely. America is truly getting lazy. If the government shows mistakes does that mean the civilians are gonna be able to make mistakes? The president should not be hiring people who have not perfectly mastered there profession. Mistakes at that level should not be made.

If I were president and a mistake like this got released and heat came back to me I would fire whoever let that happen. There would be no discussing the situation the man would just be fired and replaced. I would try and cover the situation as fast as possible but once it's out there there is no going back. Luckily everything dyes off sooner or later and that would also.
