I hope we get less work for the second semester to where it will be easier to pass. An the second semester has been heading though that isn't going to happen. This school seems like a summer camp of just fun but I got to get it through my head that I have to be serious about it. This semester I'm gonna stay on my medicine the entire time once I get more of it to where I can concentrate. School is a huge struggle when I'm off of it and I strongly dislike it.

Semester two
Semester two I'm expecting to stay on my medicine to where I get all my work done. I want to pass all my classes with a 3.0 to where I can get into a good college. I plan on trying a little bit harder than I did the first semester. Not too hard though that I have stress over school. I'll try but just to the extent of getting b's but in reality that's probably not gonna happen.
Semester One
Semester one was a lot better than what I had thought it would be. There wasn't as much work and all my teachers turned out to be very nice which I enjoy. There was a good amount of work though for the first semester. It was much more fun though then I had imagined it to be. I did decent in all of my classes and didn't fail most of them which is an accomplishment.
In most of the classes we worked on the basics and set up for the second semester. All the work we did the first semester was to prepare for the second so it would be easier. All the work though seems to not match and is still pretty difficult for me. I try in the classes but just cannot comprehend most of the work we have to do. I think it would be easier if we had less work for each class. Since we have a good amount of classes it would be easier if we had less work per each.

Walt Whitman compare to Vonnegut
In Walt Whitman's poem "I hear America Singing" Whitman talks about how Americans go throughout there jobs doing there everyday tasks. Whitman describes casual American jobs and says they are all singing there song for there job. At the end of the poem Whitman mentions that everyone of the workers songs are melodious and strong. Americans are great, strong people according to Whitman. Whitman likes America and the people and how they do there everyday jobs happily.
In Vonneguts book "A Man Without a Country" Vonnegut talks about how Americans are harsh people that are frowned upon by other countries. Vonnegut mentions how America steals from the poor and how soldiers are just being used. The soldiers are the people who protect our government and the soldiers are frowned upon by the government for being lower class people. Vonnegut basically says Americas pathetic in what they do to there people. That's the reason they are frowned upon by other countries.
These two people have very different opinions on America. Whitman likes America and the people while Vonnegut hates America and thinks they are unreasonable people. It seems it's either you hate America or like it there isn't much in between in these two peoples opinions.

Chapter 5
In chapter five Vonnegut discusses the differences between men and women and what they want. Vonnegut says men want pals to be with and women want people to talk to and when they get married each gain more pals or people to talk to through extended families. People haven't been having many children to have large extended families for each gender to get what they want and that's why divorces have been taking place Vonnegut says. He mentions that people will think its about money or power but it's really just about people to talk to in almost any situation.
Vonnegut brings his point from the men and women to the Germans and Anglos. This chapter compares these points during the entire chapter. Vonnegut says Germans and Anglos had a fault line between them and the girls family didn't appreciate him being German. The chapter finishes off with Vonnegut talking about the Germans and Anglos and why they had a dispute and how this girls family and the Anglos like to have control.

Picture and song
"Well, it suddenly struck me
I just might die with a smile on my face after all"
That Joke isn't Funny Any more - The Smiths
I just might die with a smile on my face after all"
That Joke isn't Funny Any more - The Smiths
The picture shows the best of nature. It shows nature with all it's colors and the wide variety of its different landscaped. Nature can someone's be a beautiful sight and others it can be very gloomy at other times. Natures everywhere and always surrounding us. It's a huge part in everything's life.
This song quote is a very strong one. It has emotions to it when you read it. It makes you think that was this man going through to have to say this? Was it something good in his life or something very bad. It makes people think of personal experiences and others. Was it just a joke to begin with or was it meant to be serious? It's a good quote to put views on.

Chapter 4
In "A Man Without a Country" chapter four Vonnegut talks about the game of life. Vonnegut gives examples of people's success or failures in this chapter to summarize what life is all about. Vonnegut informs everyone that life's a game and the successful people have won it and the failures have lost it. The game thats played whoever has the most money in the end wins the game and whoever doesn't have enough loses. He gives the story of Adam and Eve as an example of how one was persuaded into eating the apple. Since one had eaten the apple both got in trouble from it. The game has choices to make to be successful and incidents can cause people to fail.
Vonnegut mentions a cigarette company that the owner had made billions of dollars on. The man that did this is obviously a winner in the game. This man is obviously a winner because he has the money to buy whatever he wants. Money is the key to winning the game. He then mentions substance abuse about drunks seeing pink elephants. These "drunks" have not won the game since they can't play the game without substances in the way.This chapter was one focusing on what life consists of and how it is a game and can be won or lost through making good or bad choices.

Question 2
Should we, as humans, value creations? Even bad ones?
As humans creations are what we strive on throughout our lives. Human lifespans range from one to one-hundred and ten years. Creations are what keep us motivated through our lifes because everything is a creation In a way. Without creations we would still be in there Stone Age since nothing would have been created. Every creation is an advance for everyone not just humans. Humans should value these creations more though since we can take action with the creation and evolve it.
Every creation has a good purpose. That means a bad creation does not exist since every creation is an advance in its own way. A human should value every creation because any and every creation can lead to an even more remarkable discovery. People say the atomic bomb was a bad decision to make but, since the atomic bomb further things have led off that to new creations. As humans we strive for creativity and new things to mess with in the future.
