When you see your life flash before you eyes, there are many things running through your mind. The main thing I would be thinking about is my life right? Do I know if I'm going to heaven or hell? The only thing I would be thinking about is my family,  my friends and whether or not I got my life right. Dying that way would be the worst thing ever other than burning. Being that heights are one of my biggest fear, I would be freaking out up there'.

I just want a simple easy going life. I don't need to be rich or even want to be rich. Money is the root of all evil. Honestly I just want a good job that allows me to pay my bills, and have just a little extra spending money. A job that I enjoy going to everyday. My values are basically the same as my parents were growing up, just want a easy going day by day life style. I don't want a 2 story mansion, I just want a small little White House with 2 or 3 bedrooms. I want 2 kids, a little boy and girl. My plans are to graduate high school, go to college, finish college first then have a kid. I want my kid to have morals and understand everything in life isn't free. Money doesn't grow on trees. My goal in life is to raise 2 we'll mannered kids, have a good job that I enjoy, live in a house I can say i own, fully own the car of my dreams.

There are many modern conveniences we take for granted daily. Recently, when we had this ice/snow storm, my family went 5 days without power. I do little things everyday that I don't even realize how helpful they are. When our power went out, we had no microwave, stove, heat, refrigerator, tv, and PHONE CHARGERS and etc.... After being home 5 days with my parents and all this stuff missing, I appreciate it way more. My daddy did show me plenty of ways to survive without power though. I'll be honest though a gas heater does not work like the heat. Everything I named sounds so simple to live without, when in reality it is so hard. Just imagine, no microwave, you can't have all those pizza rolls, hot pockets, etc. Now with the microwave being gone you gotta use the stove, well with no power that's gone too. You honestly don't realize how much the little things mean.

There is a big struggle to decide between individuality and conformity. The reason being is because to be individual is very hard. You are judged for everything you do because you stand out from the rest. If you want to live life easily, and just go day by day, them conformity is the way for you. If you are just like everyone else and you follow everyone else's footstep instead of making you own path, people will love you. Just to inform you though it is very easy to be just like everyone else. In my personal opinion I believe more people would be unique and original if they weren't so scared that everyone in the "conformity click" would say.

There are many things that one individual can do to make a difference in our society. For instance, it's the little things that matter, like recycling. Recycling is something that is simple to do, but in the long run it helps. Another thing that you can do personally as a individual that will change the society is give to charitable causes. It's really just the little things.

In my opinion, formal institutions have a big impact of society. If you think about it , the government has so much control that they can personally check your text messages , every move you make on the internet, everything you see the government knows. When a group of people can control that much about you personally, and the rest of the world, obviously they have a big impact.

When writing a gothic story, there are many important things you need to focus on. The main thing I would say though is making your readers understand and feel what you are saying in the story. Anybody can read a story, but in order to remember it you must understand it. Also in a gothic story describe your characters and scenery very well so we can picture what he/she looks like. I honestly believe they explain Gothic stories are wrote to create suspense, make your mind wonder a little. Some people it may frighten or shock , because the way words touch you only you can describe .

Yes I completely agree everybody has a dark side because no one is perfectly innocent. Like they say in the bible the devil was once a angel. If he was a angel imagine how people looked at him, they looked up to him . Little did they know he was what a lot of people fear now. Everyone has a dark side whether you show it or how much you show it is how you are judged. I know girls who everyone think are the most precious innocent girls ever, when in reality they are conniving. They can ruin you and  still make people believe they didn't. No matter what anyone says we all have a dark side, I try not to let mine show but I know it there, and you know yours is too .

A dream like setting can be power because it can change the whole mood of the story. Also it could be what makes the Story. When you read or hear a story about how dreamy something is, it makes your standards high and makes you realize don't stoop to anything your not . Dreamlike stories or films make you imagine how great something can be.

What happens if a secret is kept too long? When you try to hide something for so long, people start noticing how much different you act . Also when you keep something hidden, you have to lie to cover it up . Then, your lies start falling apart and the story is told in so many different way because it is told from so many different people. It's better to just go ahead and tell everyone your secret so that they hear it from you and they know the correct story.

I observe greedy behavior everyday , in school , softball, and many other places. For example I know people who are in my class everyday that are greedy. One thing that people are mainly greedy about is food. I have people who always ask me for food and I hate telling people no, but when they have something they never want to share. Same thing goes with school work, some are good for not wanting tone help or share answers when they've actually took the time to do the work , but when they don't do it and it's time for grades to be put in, they want your answers . NO BOO BOO Sharing is caring . Haha

People that hear voices In the woods are either people that really love nature or psycho people. More than likely it's someone who loves nature because they say they can hear the trees talk as if they are telling a lonely love story , or the squirrels argue over who gets this acorn. When you understand or love something, you feel like you can connect to that, and that's the way nature lovers feel. They feel like they understand the woods and the things in the woods more than we do.

Why do people fear what they do not know? People fear what they don't know because sometimes what you imagine is worse than reality. You can sit around and think about something and make us so much worse than what it is . Also if you don't know something it can cause fear , if you KNOW you can do something it really doesn't bother you to do it again , but trying something new for the first can be scary.

Everyone has some different values that they would stand up for. The biggest thing I will stand up for in my religion. I am a Christian and no I may not be perfect but I try. It's one thing to have different point of views on something , because everyone has there own opinion and are more than welcome to feel that way. If you state your views we can sit down and have a civilized conversation about It am try to make each other understand why we feel that way. Don't disrespect my religion though because things might get not so pretty and god doesn't like ugly.

There are many different things that make a speech effective. For one you must make your reader understand the purpose whether you are informing, persuading, or entertaining. Also, a speech ,just have full emotion to it, you want to make your audience understand where your coming from. You can make your audience feel happy, sad, mad or whatever type of way you want if you use the right vocabulary and emotion. I'm sure there are more things that could make a speech very effective but these are the main ones that I think make a great speech .

Restatement
I am so clean .
I just took a shower. 

I am bored.
There is nothing to do.

Repetition
I have on a pink shirt.
Today I decided to wear pink


Parallelism 
Like mother, like daughter 

Rhetorical question
It's like looking at somebody you are mad at and saying are you stupid ?
Did you know I'm your biggest fan ? 
I'm order for a speech to be good , you have to speak from the heart. If you can't express the way you feel as you speak and make me feel and understand what your saying then it's not a good speech. Also you must get my attention from the start , start will a sentence that will make me wonder or make me think. First of all you need to have a logical reason for this speech , second credit anybody you use in your speech . Last but not least.  Show emotion, make your readers feel the emotion . That's the three most important things, do this you'll have a good speech.

Being able to persuade some people is a lot harder than what it may seem. A bandwagon is one way, and what this means is that you persuade them to do it by telling them that everyone else is doing . The most effective way for me personally is reverse psychology, because when some one tells me that I can't or won't do something, the first thing I do is prove them wrong. There are many different ways to persuade people and if you are good at it, you can convince somebody to do almost anything.

Best speech .

The speech I will always remember was my 2012 softball season. Coach Hinson took us to left field and we all listened to what he had to say. That day was the day Green Sea Floyd's softball department should have brought home a ring. I remember he used his favorite quote "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard " . As any coach would he said y'all are still my softball team, y'all deserved it, just didn't work hard enough. He told us he was proud of us and he still cared but he would care a lot more with a ring on his finger. This speech or this day may not seem important to you, but that day is a day I'll always look back on.

The three different myths we read both had many different human traits. In the short story, "When Grizzles Walked Upright" the bears walked and talked. Any smart person knows that in real life bears can not talk. In the story "The Earth On The Turtles Back" there human traits were that they could talk to the sky lady.  In "The Navaho Origin legend" they turned corn into humans, and also used wind to make life.

The history channel is always there to inform people about something they didn't know or something they wanted to know more about.

I'm pretty sure that people that respect nature probably have a different view than i do, but I could Imagine them talking about the weather and the animals. They would tell us how the birds chirp a relaxing melody as they lean against their favorite pine tree. People who love mature would go for a long walk on a hot summer day, stop and get a drink as they watch the fish jump. On the cold chilly days they would just quietly listen to the wind and the different sounds it makes. Anyone that loves nature would just choose a hot place to go tan for vacation , they would probably pick the mountains, Grand Canyon, ally's backyard, anything that would give them a new scenery to take in and understand why they respect and love nature so much.
