Perfect World

What? You have a different favorite color than I do? We can’t be friends. In fact, I never want to see your face again until you admit that my favorite color is infinitely better than yours.

I’m right about everything. Why don’t people see that? Man, I wish there were a world where everyone was exactly like me: the same thoughts, opinions, reactions, ideas, etc. Wow, how amazing does that sound?

We would all live on the beach. Probably in Hawaii. The world as we know it now would be completely foreign compared to the World of Jennas. Money? Psh naaah. Responsibilities? Hah! And what even is "time"??

What a peaceful place this world would be. We would all live in harmony. There would be no disagreements!

People whose favorite color is purple can be my chefs. And maids. Yes, they’ll have nothing better to do anyways. Purple is such an ugly color. They must be ugly people.

Man, I can see this perfect world so clearly in my head- surfing all day, jamming all night…

Ok, well. The more I think about it, the more I’m not sure... I lied about the no disagreements part. I get internal arguments… they would all turn external in my world. I think I would also get kind of lonely. The only person I can talk to is basically another me… I’d be trapped in an environment equivalent to my mind. I’d be trapped in my own mind. This world is starting to sound like a horror movie setting rather than a euphoria…
Ok. I guess we can be friends. Actually, please be my friend. The world would be bland with only one color.

    I like the development of your internal conflict throughout the post. Your thoughts really showed growth and became dynamic as you continuously questioned yourself. Your voice continues to show throughout your blogs and its tone really pulls the reader in.

    This is so cool! I think you transitioned from explaining your world to why it wouldn't work very well, and the connection back to the color concept really connected your piece. I love how you mentioned that your internal arguments would turn external; I though that was very interesting. I did feel like the purple part was low-key shading me though... hahaha

    Wow...I kind of feel like this is a simpler, more innocent way of looking at HItler's viewpoint? I can see the whole diversity-is-better thing with the colors. Really cool perspective

Mi tarea de inglés en español

Buenos días, Me llamo Jenna y yo soy una estudiante de la clase de inglés de Señora Valentino. Porque leímos un ensayo sobre la idioma nacional de los E.E.U.U, decidí escribir mi blog en español; después de todo, inglés no esta la idioma oficial de este país, y no hay nadie decirme escribir en inglés. Pero, yo tengo unos pensamientos de esta tema, como: la escuela se enseña en inglés, y muchas de las tiendas son en inglés, y los trabajos son en inglés, y es más facil aprender inglés para vivir en este país... si el inglés no es la idioma oficial, al menos haga lo básico para un país más organizado en general. No estoy diciendo que abandone su otro idioma y se convierta en un experto en inglés, pero va a ser útil para todos aprender un poco de la idioma.  Cinco años en el pasado, mi primo viajó a america con la habilidad decir cuatro palabras en inglés. Cuando estaba enojado conmigo, el diría,“I no love you.” En un año, el puede hablar en inglés con fluidez, pero también c...

A Spiel on Time

    The prompt for my in-class essay regarded whether or not college was worth the cost. I used the college-bound mindset of myself and my peers at Troy High as an example in my synthesis, and this whole idea then prompted me to ponder why it is that we spend so much time thinking about our futures.     Don't get me wrong- planning ahead is great. It's smart to set goals and work to achieve them, but my argument begins when this completely engulfs your present youth and all the opportunities around you now by becoming all that's thought about or the main reason any action is completed. It simply becomes overbearing. After all, if half your life is spent in tireless effort to make the other half more enjoyable, the average level of enjoyment in your life is just, well, average.      Franz Kafka wrote, "let the future sleep for now, as it deserves. If you wake it too early, you get a groggy present." To add on to this, the present quickly transforms ...

More on "Needs"

In second grade we had a whole 2-hour lesson on the difference between "needs" and "wants." Mrs. Fairweather passed out a sheet with different images, including food, clothes, toys, etc., and by the end of the lesson we had to circle the images representing what we needed in order to prove we could differentiate between what we need and what we want. In second grade we were learning the basic needs- what we need to survive. They taught us that when we are hungry, we need food; when we are thirsty, we need water; if we are cold, we need warmth; when we are tired, we need rest. Reflecting on this in the present, it's not exactly true. Most of us were fortunate enough to enjoy the luxury of an endless supply of food, drinks, shelter, clothes, love, toys, sleep, movies, and games. We never needed anything. Even now, such as how Sowell mentions in his essay "Needs," food, the quickest "need" that comes to mind, is not needed when we are in a coun...
