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.

Vonnegut quote

What about god? What if he were alive today?. The quote I chose by Vonnegut seems to me a good one. What would god think if he were alive today? God would be disappointed in most people. I say this because most people are focused on themselves and god wants others to be focused on others also. God was about caring and sharing and nowadays that does not happen.

If god just all of a sudden came back today he already knows what's going on since he is the all knowing. I wonder what he is thinking of society right now due to almost everything changing from back in his day. Would he like the change is the main question. Would he be happy that the countries advanced but there is still warfare? There is so much to guess on what god would think if he came back but in reality nobody will know until it happens.

Lincoln

Lincoln would be very happy on how America turned out today. America has grown so much since he was president. Slavery has also stopped and so did the old type of warfare they had. Lincoln was an intelligent man with high expectations on what America ended up being. Now we have a bunch of land and nobody trying to take it away from us constantly. The economy is well and the technological state were in is advancing rapidly.

Lincoln if he came back today would not know what to do. He would be astonished by anything and everything around. His jaw would drop when he found out what a cell phone was. He probably wouldn't want to live in this society though since we can't just murder people as we please anymore. When you hate someone your not allowed to duel them just insult them till they leave. He would live here in aw.

Vonneguts title A Man Without A Country.

The question is why did Vonnegut choose to title his book "A Man Without A Country". After reading  "A Man Without A Country" I realized the title didn't have anything to do with the book. The book is about Vonneguts thoughts on society and a summary of his life. Vonnegut chose this title because he doesn't believe he is part of a country. Vonnegut is in his own social bubble that few other people have the same intellectual thoughts.

Vonnegut hated most of society it seemed. "We are here to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different". Vonnegut also had a strange sense of humor also. It seemed he was lonely and thought he was alone on whatever he was trying to portray with his life. I'm not actually sure why he chose the title and I can't really think how it would match up to the book. A better title would've seemed to be a life story of Vonnegut.

Who do you want to be when you grow up?

When people grow older they gain knowledge that they could not gain as a kid. As I grow older I understand the meaning of life more than I ever have. Life is a game that gives you just one life to live and it's up to you to make it count. When I grow older I want to live on a house with miles of land to do whatever I please on. I want to grow up with my friends that I have now. I want to be the man that helps people and volunteers at the local fire station, the man with the nice classic cars, even the man that doesn't take nonsense from people and will make them eat dirt if they mess with him. I want to be respected when I'm older. I want people to know me as the nice guy that handles situations when there needed to be handled.

The way I plan on making this happen is by going through college and getting a job that pays good money. After I would like to move into my home with lots of land around it. I would go to the local markets and just live life as a good man. I would help people that needed help and I would get the locals to respect me. The plan is a good one that should work with ease. I want to live in a small town so the people can get to know me easier.
