The past is never dead, it’s not even past

“The past is never dead, it’s not even past”

1. What does this quote mean to you?

This quote doesn’t mean anything to me, because the past is the past and we have to accept that and move one with our lives.

2. How does this connect to the wave?

It connects back to when they started the wave, they wish inever started well laurie does.

3. American History?

On September 11 the twin towers people still have memorial days which is ok but we cant go to far just days like that is good enough.

The Wave Questions

1. Have you ever been forced to join something against your own will?

No but my parents have told me to do something against my own will.

2. How should we behave of we see someone being taunted or bullied by a group of people?

We should atleast try to help in a way.

3. Should we try to get involed or intervene?

I would intervene because if its being bullied we should tell them the right thing to do.

“The Wave” by Todd Strasser

1. David tries to convince Lauria to forget the events that took place in Nazi. Germany:

“Forget about it.  It happened once and the world learned its lesson.  It’ll never happen again.”

Do you agree?

I disagree because you can’t forget something that happened so fast only after a while when new generations start people will start to forget about the past and think into the future.  For example, when the twin towers blew up people still have memorials on the day that it happened.

Should we try to forget evil events, and trust in the goodness of human nature?

Well like I said before it’s hard to forget about bad or evil things that has happened to our world.  But we should still trust in our human nature and what we do for it to occur.

Is evil and outside force, or are we all capable of evil acts?

I think that we are all capable of evil acts because the people that start these acts were and still are people like us.  Like in The Wave, Adolf Hitler hides underground for many of the years during WW2 because so many people wanted him dead.  But finally he couldn’t take the running and hiding so Adolf Hitler shot himself in the head and his wife with a pistol on April 30, 1945, shortly before the invading Soviet Army captured his bunker in Berlin.  Here is a site that says so.

Power Corrupts

Power Corrupts, Absolute power, corrupts absolutely.

              I agree to this statment because if someone has power they would use it, violently if necesary.  For example the

US President has lots of power and can bomb up Iraq because he doesn’t like their country, and he has the power to

do this.  People shouldn’t be given too much power because eight out of ten times they will probably miss use there power

to do what they want, but as i said before it is an example!

2nd draft of My Poem

Sorry 

Sorry, that I had to leave and sorry for being mad

I’m Sorry, that I grew up way to fast I wish I would have listened and not be so bad

Im Sorry for the wrong things that I’ve done, I’m sorry that I’m not always there  

for my sons.

Im sorry for the fact that I am away and you can’t sleep at night when I am not

there.

Sorry to tell you this but I regret coming here and I wish we could still be together

Sorry but I hope we can still be the family we used to with eachother forever

Sorry I can’t visit you, my company has my passport and if all of the workers strike

we will all go to jail.

Sorry to hear about little michael our darling youngest son

He could even say the alphabet, I enjoyed our laughter and fun

Sorry but I don’t think there is anymore hope and I’m tired of having to provoke

Sorry but I don’t think I can handle this anymore

I feel like my brain is about to explode and everything around me

My life is so horrible over here, especially with all the suicides and bad salary

Sorry that you were home just wishing we

Could go back to when it was just you and me

But now look where we are I don’t think anything can fix this

And if companies come through with a good salary many people will be happy

And if I can’t apologize for being wrong

Then its just a big shame on me

And I realize that I’m the reason for all your pain and our children

I’m sorry that your life turned out this way

I’m sorry that I can’t be with you rite now

I only think that news stations are trying to help

As we stand here waiting for the sun to melt

But I don’t think anyone can help us anymore

And I guess this is goodbye again

I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done

I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me

Based on a song by Akon “Sorry Blame it on me”
