Journal #12
Well in all honestly, wtf yo are you stupid you should've just killed ralph. You wasted like half the ending chapter just describing Ralph runaway from Jacks tribe and to all of a sudden just miraculously there be a ship right when they were about to kill ralph thats some bs. I was expecting blood to be shed not this type of ending. If I wanted a happy ending I would watch a Disney movie for example. I think if you left the book where they killed Ralph at the end it would be a greater ending to the book. Reason for this is that when i picked up this book (forcefully) I didn't expect to be filled with joy, I expectedly my twisted wicked side to be satisfied.I didn't like like piggy because he was freaking annoying and he didn't no when to stop talking. 10/10 would not recommend to friend because I don't like it, but then again that's just my opinion. Ralph cries because even though he might go to civilization again he's scarred for his life because he'll always remember how twisted some people could be in this world. So the danger is really never over.

Even though it was full gear there really is no safe way treating ebola.

Summary
I found an interesting article about some girl getting robbed and kidnapped, here it is link.
An Isla Vista woman was captured monday afternoon and the police are looking for two hispanic men that allegedly committed this crime. I think that this is crazy that there could be this type of crime close to me. I didn't know how dangerous the world can be. I could do something about it but i am just simple me. She was walking on Abrego road and was forced to her bank to withdraw her money. I think that is insane. :o

Paragraph
Knowledge, knowledge is they key to power tbh. I define knowledge with someone who is highly educated at something. It could be education, or a varsity player at a sport. They know what they are doing. Knowledge is basically what someone does that is higher above then someone. There could be education knowledge where you are really intellectual

Controversial topic
Anime, mmhh well first off I think that anime is the greatest thing ever created. That's just me some people might hate it with a passion, and that is their own choice. The things I can't stand though is when someone says they hate anime, but they have never even tried watching it . I'm like really ;-; that's not even cool that's like saying your at a dinner table and there is something new. You say you hate it, but you have never even tried it before. The only thing I can say is that you should at least try watching anime
There are many different types of animes. For example there can be a sports anime like a soccer basketball tennis football baseball anime, there really no limit of anime there is out there. There is magic fighting anime just total awesomeness. I get that anime is not for everyone, but they should at least try anime. At first I thought I would hate it but now I've been watching a lot lately and it's kind of taking over my life :( but the animes are so much better then our regular tv shows in my opinion.

Lit Analysis #8 essay choice
How do the generations differ in their ideas about love and family? how does each difference manifest itself in the way each generation deals with issues such as marriage, divorce, and child rearing?
Marriage is a big deal now, shows that you are making a commitment to spend the rest of your life with the person you love. In the book the Joy Luck Club there is a lot of marriages. Not only that, but there are tons of different opinions about the topic of marriage. The different generations have their own thoughts about it. There is really no right or wrong answer about it.
Take Lena's vase for example, she had put the vase in a dangerous area. She didn't do anything to protect the vase. Supposedly her husband Harold had built the table. unstable and wobbly. Basically saying that he didn't put enough love into his marriage so when Lena realizes this she does nothing. Ying-ying "accidentally" makes the vase fall and shatter on the floor. She tells Lena she should something instead of just standing there and let it passively happen. Not to be a standby.
Lindo Jong is married her and her husband light a red wick candle at each end. If the candle were to blow out prematurely it would be bad. Lindo didnt want to get married so she blew it out during the night. One of the servants had relit. Later they all found out that the candle had "died" So Lindo gets herself out of the marriage. Lindo is creating her own fate by blowing out the candle. Showing that she is in control of it she had a choice. The candle is showing that it is a tradition, but know it is showing power.
In the end marriage is marriage you get to control what happens so ultimately you can do whatever you want. Lindo had took matter in her own hands. She did that by using the the tradition of the candle to get out of her marriage. Lena on the other hand was basically a door mat. She let people walk all over her. She could've changed the marriage. She could've done anything, but no she just stood there and let her marriage crumble. In marriage the choice is all yours. There is no one that could guide you through it. It it just you and your partner. No one else.
