Haiti

I think we should help. If not for the people of Haiti, for our American workers who live there, or for our own people who have members of families there, or even a whole entire family. I would like to do some type of fundraiser for the people of Haiti because they desperately need aid. Also I'd like to think if we lead by example, other countries will help us in a time of need. It is our responsibility as people sharing the same earth to help eachother.

Holidays

I am looking forward to Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I enjoy Thanksgiving because I get to see a lot of family that I genrally do not see much. For instance I see my cousins Tracy and Eric. Tracy is in college so we obviously don't see much of her because she is all the way up in Brockport, near Niagra Falls. And Eric is like, twenty three so he is married and is off on his own way. Plus at Thanksgiving, my aunt makes really good pie. Christmas is the best because we get school off for a while, I see a lot of family, and well, there are presents. I never ask for much because I don't need anything and the few things I waant I'll ask for but I never get mad or dissapointed if I don't get everything. That isn't what Christmas is about. I can't wait.

Picasso

I do not think Picasso had a particular theme. I'm not even sure if he was mentally stable. If there was a theme it would apparently be a painting of a woman. It could even be a portrait he did for a girl in his own style. His style is called cubism, and it is a very abstract style. Picasso was the first to truly embrace this style and put his emotions into his work. I think he was tired of the same old types of paintings and decided he needed a new style. One that has never been seen before, a style that was revolutionary and bold. I honestly have no idea how in the heck he could come up with a style like cubism. It seems so random and not even thought out. Like he just started painting and was like well I guess that will work for today. I think his intended audience was people just like him, but also people who reject his ideas to prove that he can be a great artist and that just because his style is different that doesn't make it horrible.

Short Stories

I like it when short stories are actually short. For example when we read the Interlopers. It was too long and it annoyed me a lot. Also the story had the most idiotic ending. Wolves? Really, I could have thought of that, and that isn't saying much. I very much liked The Most Dangerous Game. It had a cool twist and it had suspense and action. My ideal short story is one that is short and has action with perhaps a twist.

Deepest Fear

Personally this quote doesn’t mean much to me. I’m always myself and don’t really care what people think. I know I’m smart and have potential so I work hard generally. I do agree that it is stupid to pick on kids for their intelligence because they could indeed do something beneficial for the world. For example say you picked on a kid for being a nerd, and that kid found the cure for the cancer you have. Look who is laughing now. You are now in debt to the very person you picked on. Everyone should be themselves and people should stop picking on each other for how they are. Everyone is different and if we weren’t the world would be a boring place.
