My freshman year

Freshman year, lets see, it was nothing short of amazing. At first when your first starting high school, it's straight up scary. You're scared of all the upperclassmen making fun of you or pushing you aside. But to be honest, high school is nothing like that. Sure you start of low on the food chain but it isn't that bad and you can always work your way up from there. Rumor says that the upperclassmen hate the incoming freshman, but i've experienced that to be incorrect as well. They don't really hate us! In fact, some of my closest friends are seniors! We also have a thing called freshman academy here. All freshman have other freshman in our classes at all times, and it's really helped me warm up to Moline High School. Now besides freshman academy, there are a couple things you've got to do on your own. Be social, make some friends! My strategy is to know enough people that I never have to be by myself any where I go in school. I like having people I know around just because it makes me feel a little better about myself. Plus it's by far more fun to know people then to be alone all the time. Another tip would be to choose the group you hangout with carefully. I suggest picking a lot of different groups to hang around with. But also be careful when choosing. Make the right friends that wont get you in trouble or talk behind your back. Like my youth pastor always says, "Show me your friends and Il show you your future." Don't get me wrong, I don't have high school dialed in or anything, but these are just a couple tips that got me through my freshman year!

Concluding animal farm

Animal Farm, in my opinion, is all in all a pretty good book. Reading from cover to cover i'd say it was worth it. In some parts of the story I was confused as to why power was and is so important to some people. Some of the details of the book made me feel for the animals which shows it's written well. I didn't like how abruptly it ended but the moral of the story is great. After reading beyond chapter 1, the farm goes crazy. The pigs try and overtake the farm and the other animals do nothing about it. Some of them are murdered for their opinions or run off of the farm. All the rules change and all in a matter of weeks. The quote "Only the strongest will survive." Does not pertain to this story, as any animal can be removed or killed for just a slight slip up. Trading with the humans begin as they slowly start to come back into the farm. All of Old Majors rules are either changed or gotten rid of and only one opinion is heard, no matter what. That opinion is comrade Napoleon the pigs. This however will condemn the farm almost entirely. It ends pretty abruptly, I almost wish there was a sequel.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of Animal Farm?

The book Animal Farm is about a couple animals and their outlook on life. But when you read between the lines, there is a whole other message from the story. From just reading the first chapter and not looking into it, it would sound something like this: The leader of the farm animals is the pig, named Old Major, and he has a dream that wakes him up to the reality of true farm life. He then calls a meeting late at night in the barn to tell all the other animals about his dream. The dream is about how all the farm animals do a huge amount of work daily and get nothing in return, they are fed just enough to keep them alive, and when they grow old they are slaughtered and eaten or used for a different cause. They work their lives away and receive nothing in return. Old Major then tells his comrades that this problem cannot go on any longer and it must be solved. The answer to this problem, in his eyes, is to rebel against the humans and take control. To someone reading between the lines, you can tell that this book is about the people in life that don't get the same writes as everyone else. They work for the upper class and for what? Nothing. So they must rebel against the higher classes to get the rights they deserve. I would definitely suggest reading this book.

Don't overdose on power.

Power can be an easy thing to loose. Great rulers can be overthrown in a matter of seconds all because of what they did, or didn't do with power. Power can be a very big part of our daily lives but do we realize it? A lot of people will get a taste of it and want more, this is called being "power hungry". So I have a couple of tips to help someone gain and maintain power. First of all, don't be a power hungry person. Once you receive power, be comfortable with the level you're at instead of constantly wanting more. Next, be nice to people! Do not think that your better than others just because you may hold more power than them. People like to be treated fairly, if you treat people with kindness usually they will return the favor. Lastly, listen to everyones opinion, don't just go with your own idea's all the time. People like to be heard, and who knows, their thoughts and ideas could be better than the original one. Maintaining power can be an easy thing to do if you just put yourself in the other person's shoes. Be considerate and caring and power should be a pretty easy thing to withhold.

Animals are a huge part of our daily lives, they provide us with food, transportation, and sometimes they just make us feel better. But how can that be done if they aren't alive anymore? Did you know that there are less than 200 siberian tigers left in the world? Some would say animals go extinct because of people hunting them; however, most animals die off because of habitat being affected.

Some people might say there are several reasons why animals are going extinct such as, hunters causing animal extinction,.I suppose that may have some affect on them, but that isn’t the big picture. Sure hunters kill a couple animals but that can be healthy sometimes to keep the population from going over. Another reason thought to be a cause of extinction would be lack of food. Animals have been finding their own food since the beginning of time, and I don’t think that is going to change. Sickness could be another reason, maybe sickness gets a few but that isn’t going to wipe out a whole race. The main cause is always going to come back to habitats being destroyed.

Animals are going extinct because their habitats are being destroyed. People tear down forests and trees to build houses and destroy all kinds of animal’s lives. When people tear down forests or groups of trees for a business or new houses they don’t think about all the animals habitats that they destroy. And it isn't just in the woods, it's everywhere. For example, as the ice melts from global warming, the polar bears have no where to live. If the polar bears go extinct then the whole arctic animal population could be gone. You see the polar bears are at the top of the food chain. They eat the sea lions, which eat the penguins and so on. If the polar bears go extinct then an over population of sea lions will occur, taking out the penguin population. The existence of each animal is very important. As we build more for ourselves we kill off different species. Our selfish needs are hurting these endangered animals. We need to stop feeding our own wants because these animals are paying the price for it.

(CONCLUSION) You could say this is a pretty big issue, because without animals we can’t survive. We need to work on keeping them safe and think about them before we tear something down or throw something away. Can it reused? If it can then reuse it! We have to do something to save these species.
