Barack Obama the Audacity of Hope response

I recently finished reading the book "Barack Obama The Audacity of Hope" and i found it very awe-inspiring and moving and finely written. Obama took his time as a President and gave us personal experiences and his own thoughts and what he was feeling at the time and turned it into a mivind book. This book had so many hopes and ideas, but the main one was that anything can be accomplished if you work, and work and work no matter what and dont let anything get you down. Obama took so much criticesom from some white folks, but he did his thing and he ended up breaking that only white president streak and becoming the first black president. And was even able to do somethings that many presidents have tried to do but failed repeatedly.

Like i mentioned before, Obama was criticiesed and told he wouldn't make it and so on and many people didn't beleive in him, but he kept going and ended up ending wars that others presidents started and couldnt finish. He kinda takes responsibilty for the ending of one of the most notorious people on earth, Osama Benladin. He told the troops were to go and had the plans. Also he aloud forces to move onto certain countries that had child slavery and help them try and arrest Kony

Roboclopoclye blog post

-SPOILER-
I recently finish reading the novel "Robocalyse" and in this story, a scientist creates and artificial intelligence program robot named Archos who was created to learn and help out humanity. But this robot was way to smart for this human to process and the robot ended up going rogue after hearing the he has "died" 14 times. So he kills the professor and this is the first killing in the "New War" between robots and humans. And as the story progresses, more and more cases of bugged robots and everyday things that people rely on are going rogue and ends up destroying many lives, but through out the story, there are also heroes who adapt and fight until the very end and make history books.

So in the story, many people died because they just couldn't adapt fast enough and find ways to survive. But groups around the world joined together and fought these things for almost 3 years. They did anything they could to to survive. they even came to the point were they started to destroy there own cities so that it would take time for the ROBOTS to adapt. I think the big idea for this passage is that we can win or accomplish anything if we work together and keep an open mind. For a specific example, in one of the countries, a group of Indians wanted to have there tribe survive this crisis  so they'd kill anybody who'd walk into there turf, but at one point they kept and open mind (not willingly though) and let a another army join them and they became one of the greatest armies of there time. Another example is when a little girl with robot given ability amplified her voice and kinda snapped out the robots of this mind set or mode they were in and by doing this, another robot army joined the humans army and they ended up winning the war for the human.Now when i look back i see that if they didn't keep this open mind, they wouldn't have ended the war and the whole world and race of humans would have been destroyed. So this simple mind change and team work saved the world.

So one symbol that i found was Archos or Big Rob himself. He i think, stood for our problems. We have to fight those problems, and adapt and even work with other people to conquer this problem. If it's either bullying or something personal, we have to destroy that problem whether it's by our self or with friends or family.

Am I Blue by Bruce Caville post

I recently finished reading the short story "Am I Blue"  by Bruce Caville and in the story, the main character Vincent is a young teen who is labeled gay by others because of his actions or looks, and by him being constantly bullied and abused by his classmates, a fairy godfather named Melvin takes him up as his first case because he has "Nothing but sympathy" for him. This comes to show just how badly Vincent was abused and tortured to the point were he's question his own sexuality and is having trouble with it.

So in this short story, Melvin explained that he lost his life because he was labeled gay. He explained that he was pretty much jumped by a couple of homophobic guys who beat him up, thrown him in the street and next thing he knew he was run over by a steel tire to the head. All because he was either labeled gay or was gay and honestly, even if he was gay, that's no reason to kill someone. If your a guy and you like guys no one should care, if your a girl and you like girls, thats your business. People shouldnt be labeled on there looms sexuality or issues. they should be liked or disliked for their personality and personaly i love lesbians i don't know about you guys.

I think this story not only goes for gay or lesbian people, but expands to everyone.Like the old saying goes, Don't judge a book by it's cover. Like for example, I was looking at the book The Giver and the cover looked really crusty but once i got into the book, it was a pretty good book. So if we see someone walking in a funny way or talking a weird way, we shouldn't shun them case of there sexuality or looks or speech, we should shun them if there a jerk or something. Besides as the story brought out, were surround by bi lesbian and people. There all over, we just don't know, but if we did we would realize that our day would be like any other day and we would get by fine.

As i said multiple times, we shouldn't judge people by there by there looks or ANYTHING with out actually knowing them, and thats not just for gays, but everyone, everybody has there own style and there own ways, so that shouldn't matter, we should like or hate someone for there thoughts and true personality. Thank You

the drummer bioy

I just finished reading the short story "The Drummer Boy Of Shiloh" by Ray Bradbury. In this story, we see the world through a young child named Joby who ran away from home to join the army and became a drummer boy. But right before the war, Joby contemplates the war and the whole situation and falls into a dreary mood. The general then finds him and snaps him out of it with some comforting word.

I found various symbols through out the story. One that really stood out to me was that the setting took place in the night time. Through out the whole story, it was occasionally said that it was a dark April night. To me, this symbolizes the darkness and wrongness of the war and how many deaths there would be. The fact that it was night time completely changed the feeling and mood of the story. Now on the other hand if it was day time, the mood wouldn't have been as scary or heartfelt. When most people think of daytime, they think happy thoughts and of happy memories. darkness brings a feeling of fear or sadness.

This story could connect to real life soldiers as well. Today, soldiers have to fight on, no matter what or get killed. No matter what, they have to drop that fear and keep going. eventually all this restricted fear will well up and exploded, leading to depressing sadness like Joby or losing there mind(mentally)

Finished book Hunger Gamers Responce

I read  the book the "The Hunger Games" over the summer. In the book, the scene is set in a world that is on the verge of destruction. Every year, a special event takes place called the Hunger Games takes place were 24 canindates are placed into a arena and must kill each other to survive and only one one winner can come out. This book caught my attention because it send multiple messages. For example -Spoiler Alert- at the end Peta and katness must kill each other in order for 1 to win, but since they were both willing to kill themselves so neither would win, they ended up beating the Gamemakers and they both lived. So this is saying that if we truly beleive in something and we put our heart and soul into in, we can stand up to anything and win. I would definetly recommend this book to action and drama lovers.
