Influencing Change


During class, we have read certain novels that influence change in the world. Such as the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" which discusses racism and prejudice. As we following the narrator through her struggle with maturing and outlook on life.



I think that if people would take the time to read this novel, and the people who have read the novel actually looked deep into the message and heart of the novel then they would understand how bad racism really is. In the novel a black man named Tom Robinson is wrongly accused of rape and battery after a white man accuses him. The black man ends up found guilty for no other reason but he's black and the white man who really did it walks off without a problem.



This novel shows strong change in our world where people are equal, but in some places and some peoples minds, the problem of racism is still strong as ever. These people, for reasons of their own, need to read this novel, or realize that everyone really is equal in this world.



"To Kill a Mockingbird" is one of my favorite novels of all time, and reading it over and over still gives me the same shock and amazement as the first time I read it did. I really hope you will consider reading this book, and questioning the world.



The Trade Off



If I could trade places with any fictional character, I would chose Bella Swan. I would chose her because her life since moving to Fork's is full of adventure.



One reason for trading spots with Bella Swan, would be because she gets to be the girlfriend of the handsome Edward Cullen. He has the characteristic's any woman would love their boyfriends to have. He is mysterious because he is a vampire, so he doesn't let to many people know about him. He has a close-knit, accepting family this is shown because he accept Bella when she was just a fragile human.



The second reason for wanting to trade places with Bella Swan because she gets to befriend the gorgeous Jacob Black, formerly known as Taylor Launter. He is every woman's dream man, he has every trait I would want in a guy. He is not one of those arrogant hot guys that ignore a girl that wants him for his personality and not just his looks.



The final reason I would want to be Bella Swan is because she gets to turn into a vampire and live forever. Anyone would want the ability to live eternally, and never have to worry about death or anything that us humans have to worry about.



If I could chose to be any fictional character it would be Bella Swan, and now you know why !

The Christmas Story

There once was a beautiful china doll, resting on the top shelf of Henri's Toy Palace. The doll's name was Clara, she had beautiful auburn hair neatly curled with a dusty rose dress that ended with white lace around the bottom. Clara had black boots and white socks, she also had a little hat that matched her dress.

The doll never got much attention because every seemed to forget about her since she was so high up on the shelf. One wintry day Clara wanted to be noticed, so she shuffled herself to the front of the top shelf where she fell suddenly hoping to land on the bottom shelf. When she realized she was falling way to fast and far out that she wasn't going to make the shelf, she began to panic.

When Clara awoke she had landed far into the garbage bag and couldn't find her way out since it was SO dark. This worried her, she didn't know if anyone would ever find her and if they did, she didn't think any child would want to buy her! As Clara wept, she could hear the children coming in after school to check out the toys, she heard one little girl ask the store keeper "sir, where is that china doll that was on the top shelf?"

Clara tried to get someones attention but it didn't work, she thought for sure she was stuck for eternity in the trash bag, and she would be dumped into the trash compactor and soon forgot about. The store keeper searched and searched for the doll, when he was unable to locate her on the shelf, he checked to see if she had fell. When he didn't find her on the floor, he was about to lose hope when he saw his cat rummaging in the garbage. He thought to himself that she couldn't possibly be in the trash, but checked anyways. That's where he found her, wrapped in a banana peel!

After Clara was washed up, and re-dressed she was taken home with the most beautiful young girl, she had seen in her life. Clara now knew to wait for the right one not to try and find the right one for yourself, because you'll only end up in mischief.
