What would my class speech be like?

If I was selected as commencement speak I would talk about story of how the road to success is a treacherous one. It has many turns and fork in the roads which may lead you astray. It also has steep cliffs and ledges with no railings. If you are not careful you may to your demise. The raod only get more dangerous at time passes by. For this reason you must learn to perfect your skills in life early. I would tell them how high school in the time to perfect skills and not slack.

First chaptor of independent reading book

The book is so one chapter in has been very interesting and surprising. The first major thing that surprised be about the book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time was about how the dog was actually implemented in the book. Its turns out that the dog was found dead which has been stabbed with a pitchfork. Another interesting thing that I noticed was that the narrator seems to behave like he has down syndrome. In the first chapter he talks about how he has never seen some certain types of common smiley faces.

Amir's Atonement

Based on what we have read so far, it can be said that Amir's sin was that he stood by and watched as Hassan got raped trying to defend the kite which would be the trophy of his victory in the kite fight. Everything he got as a result of the kite made him sick. He threw all of the gifts he received in a pile. He said that he got those gifts through "blood money". It can also be said that amir sinned when he he set up Hassan to get him thrown out and replaced. Hassan ended up confessing to the crime and leaving the house.

Amir has not yet been able to atone for the things he considers his sins and will probably not be able to unless he sees Hassan again.

When good people do nothing

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing"

This is a quote that I have learned to agree with over the years. History seen through history, this is been the case wherever there have been atrocities committed by man. The best known example is probably the persecution of hews and other minorities throughout Europe during the 1940s. It is said that this happened because the "good" people remained silent. We can also see this today. Many have called the taliban's acts evil throughout the years. Many times the Taliban sets in roots in a country when that country's people are silent. According to WMPR talk radio this was also the case in pakistan.

How we decide

Though there are many factors which affect why some one might decide to do something, I believe that the main factor is the consequence of the decision. Whether it is consciously or subconsciously people often weigh the pro and cons before making a decision. This means that the person will see whether or not or not the opportunity they may gain is worth the sacrifice. A good example of this can be seen of just by watching channels such as C-span. You will notice that the members of the congress point out every pro and con before making a decision. A less obvious example can be seen when you decide whether or not to get out of bed in the morning. You weigh the pros and cons and realize that the sacrifice of sleeping in and skipping work and possibly getting fired. is not worth the opportunity you could gain. Some decisions I have made recently were: whether or not I should apply for a certain dorm at my college; Whether I should watch this show or study for this test.

Ingrediants to making

Start with a farming community which is based in a mountainous, landlocked country. Give the land some gold, copper, silver, zinc, and Uranium. Next add some invasion by conquerers such as Alexander the Great, the Seleucids, the Indo-Greeks, Turks, and Mongols. See to it that the land is devastated by Genghis Kahn. After that sprinkle in some bombings from western powers such as the Soviet Union and the United States. Make sure that you do that this occures exactly 1950 years after BC.
