Dreams and why they sometimes FAIL

When people have dreams they are thinking outside of the box most of the time. In Romeo and Juliet they have dreams to be together. But when they actually tried to make that into a reality then they find out that it is out of their reach. Romeo and Juliet both ended up killing themselves.
When people have dreams, they are hoping for the best possibility. You never hear of someone that is dreaming of the worst possible outcome, those are nightmares. In the novel A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah, a dream can take someone really far. As long as you believe that it can happen and you don't give up. Things Fall Apart is another novel we read this year. Okonkwo had many dreams. Okonkwo dreamt of his daughter being married in their village and then he was shut down by being banished from the village. Okonkwo then went into the village with anger and killed many people. Including the messenger. Then as Okonkwo found out that he did a huge offensive thing to the village and then he hung himself because his dream failed. Not much can come out of dreams, to me they are only thoughts. But if one were to happen I would not complain.

a place where you belong

I think that people should always have a place that they can call home. If we don't then I think that they are losing a very important value in there life. But not everyone can have that opportunity. Though many people think that they don't like there family, they also probably never thought about life with out them. When people are on the news for killing there families it makes me sick to my stomach because I would ask them why would they go through everything with them and then just end it by killing them. It makes no sense to me. But i think that everyone should have a place to belong. and also where they are loved. There is no feeling better.

Of Mice and Men

When people are talking about what they think are the most cruel and demeaning words to call someone. The one word that repeatedly comes up is the "n" word. This word was not originally made to be offensive to African-Americans, but to call some one stupid or dumb. There are other words that are really a lot more offensive that this word because they were made for the solo meaning is to degrade others.

Friends and who needs them

I think that everyone needs friends. In life they may let you down, but they will also be there to lean on in the hard times. No one can say they don't have one friend because there is always at least one person that probably thinks your the bee's knees!!! And if anyone feel alone they should always remember that. In the book Of Mice and Men, George is alway the one that Lenny can always lean on for support and get guidance from. This shows that no matter what the situation is everyone has someone as there friend. If I were to go through life with out any of the friends I have today I think that life would be ever so much more miserable, and I would have  trouble going through the day. When you know you have close friends that you can tell anything to then it makes you feel so much better because then you never have to keep anything tucked away from others. Friends are one of the best stress relievers known to man!
