Judgment and the Strength of Words

I can't really decide which side of the argument that i am on. I don't necessarily have an opinion on either side of this argument. but i do still have a couple of points that i hope to get across to you.

First off words are just words they aren't physically going to come and attack you. If you think that they will then you are wrong and at my best recommendation should go see a doctor or therapist. Since they are just words you get to choose just how much offense or joy you take from those words. Be yourself, but still heed the words of people wiser then you.

Second just because the words said to you maybe doesn't affect you directly that doesn't mean that it won't affect someone in a way that is bad. Every person is different, and without different types of people society would not function the way it does today. Some people aspire to be Doctors when they grow up and maybe others want to be a teacher. Without either one of those people there is no way we would be the way we are now.

Thirdly: words kill. I would say that about 99% of all wars are started by words. Either written or said they both can kill. The Cold War was started AND ended by words not conflict alone as is all other wars. Just because one side loses the most people doesn't mean that they lost the argument. Words are not to be taken lightly.

So over all words can be used as a tool for peace and love, or to fuel hatred and malice. Words are not to be taken lightly, but still have fun in your life, but not at anothers expense.

Judgment and the Strength of words

By Taten Evans B3

I can’t really decide which side of the argument that I am on. I don’t necessarily have an opinion on either side of this argument. But I do still have a couple points I could hopefully get across.

First off words are just words (or letters are just letters) they aren’t physically going to come and attack you. If you think that they will then you are wrong and… should probably go see a doctor. You can either choose to take offense from the worlds said to you, or you can just keep being you. Though sometimes it is better to listen to the words and stop what you are doing. I have seen many cases where a person starts to feel better about his or herself because of words said to the person… but sadly I have also seen it make people feel bad about themselves, but it is still for you to choose one way or another.

Second just because don’t affect you doesn’t mean that they don’t affect others. If someone says something to you that could be considered offensive but you don’t take it that way. It doesn’t give you the right to go say it to someone else. Every person is different. That is what makes our society today run the way it does. Some people grow up to be a world class Doctor; others grow up to be… lets say a Garbage Man. Without either one of those people, society would not run as smoothly as it does. So everybody is different and should be treated the way they would like to be treated.

Last but not least: words kill. I would say that about 99.999999999999999999999…99% of wars are started by words. Either written or said. The Cold War was started AND ended by words. No real conflict ever happened. World War 1 and 2 were both started in some way by wars. If people would just start to think about what their words may do to some people we would live in a much more peaceful world. Words are not to be taken lightly.

So over all words can be used as a tool for peace and love, but can also be used to fuel hatred and malice. Words are not to be taken lightly, but at the same time do take some words lightly. Or else you won’t have the life that you could.

Technology

I think that technology can help every teacher and school. Teaching kids how to use technology will help them throughout their entire life. Some kids will say " am going to be in the army so i won't need to know how to use a computer or any of that stuff", but they couldn't have been more wrong. You will use all of that knowledge throughout your whole life.

I think that here in Utah we are a little behind on technology, because if someone comes out with something new in technology they aren't going to say "lets go sell my new product to the people of Utah!" They will probably sell it somewhere like New York or somewhere like that were they could get a lot more business then here in Utah.

Teachers you get along with

I have had many great teachers, and not very many bad ones. Some teachers you can have a somewhat of a good relationship with but still not do good in their class. Some teachers get along with most students, but some teachers have a hard time seeing their students point of view so most students don't like them or do not get along with them. But almost all teachers get along with someone, somewhere.

With High School if you don't really like a teacher you are fine, because there are plenty of other teachers. But in Elementary School if you don't like the teacher or don't get along with them you are going to have a problem, because they are the only teacher that you have. If your child does not like to go to school then ask them if they get along with the teacher, because that can ruin their whole school experience.

Honesty

Honesty should be very important to everybody and everybody should be honest. If everybody would be honest in the world, it would be a lot safer and people wouldn't fight and steal as much. I think that kindness and honesty are about the same thing.

Kindness is something that you couldn't have without honesty. You can't lie to people and say you are nice to them. One time my brother skipped school, but didn't tell my mom. My mom got a call from his school and she didn't know what happened so she checked the school's website and it said he missed all of school that day. He got in big trouble for it.

It's the end of the world as we know it

The one thing that i would grab is chocolate milk. Almost everybody loves chocolate milk. Chocolate milk is full of calcium and calories. I would definitely share with my family, but i would probably end up drinking it all though. I got to have my chocolate milk!

I would save it for a little bit, but not for to l0ng. It wouldn't last for very long with the power out, so we would drink it in a couple of days or so. I only have one brother and my mom and dad, so it would last quite awhile. It would definitely be a satisfying last drink. Almost nothing is better then chocolate milk.

Power Of Persuasion

The power of Persuasion could be the most helpful power there is. Because if someone was robbing a bank or trying to kill someone, you could persuade them not to. You could persuade someone to do something for you if you wanted to. You could persuade everybody in America to elect you president, or even everybody in the whole world.

I would use the power for good. Like helping the cops, or help interigate people. But i would probably have some fun with it too, like persuade somebody to do something, or persuade my teacher to not give homework, test, quiz, etc. Or i could persuade my parents not to make me go to school, or do my chores.

book review

The last book i read was Pirate Latitudes by Michael Chrichton. It was an adventure about pirates, seeking treasure. A man named hunter was told of a Spanish island where a Galleon ship was taken over and it was told to be full of treasure. So they embark on this amazing adventure, where not only will they meet Spaniards protecting their gold, but also sea monsters, cannibals, and hurricanes.

It is a very exciting book well worth the 400 something pages. It is almost always going somewhere new or something crazy is happening, whether it is almost getting eaten by cannibals or almost getting eaten by a monster. This book never gives up the thrills that you want from a pirate book. A definite 5 stars.

Letter Stories

Q,X,Z
A guy names Quin was having a very bad day. He had to get up early so he could make it to his work that is 126 1/2 miles away in a little place called Xalapa, Mexico. He heard his alarm but did not want to get up. He was mad that the other stupid Zoologist couldn't have taken the job like he was supposed to! He even had to stay up late to study a new animal that just came in! He was the hardest worker there, he didn't deserve this!

He decided to get up anyway. He couldn't let everybody down. The world needs him and he is going to answer the call. "Hello? Yeah I will be right there. I know! I am just about to leave!" Click, he shut his cell phone hard. "He was the most amazing person in the world and nobody appreciated him." He thought to himself. Quin thought very high of himself (for no real reason what so ever. He almost didn't even make it into college. He was lazy and rude. In fact the only reason that they gave him this job was to get him to go away.

He started to leave ready for his long trip with 4 boxes on powder donuts and a 100 oz. Mountain Dew. He sat down behind the wheel and belched very loudly but it was ok because there was nobody else up at 2:00 AM. He started to drive then hit into another car and swore loudly. "This day is not going to be good" he thought.

Ultimate Winter Break

I would travel all around the world to exotic warm places, to freezing cold climates. I wouldn't stay in one place for more then a day or two. I would try everything they have to do there. I would first start with somewhere warm, like Africa. I would go see Lions and all the cool animals you don't get to see everywhere else.

I would go to Iceland and go see all the cool sites there. I would go to New York and go shopping with some of my friends. I would do to Paris and go to the Eiffel (if that is how you spell it) Tower and the Louvre Art Museum. I would go to poor villages and bring them gift and whatever else they wanted.

I would then go back to home and have all of my family and extended family come over to my grandma's house and we would have a big party with a lot of presents, and food (or anything else we need) I would go sledding with big tubes and all that fun stuff. Then when all that is done i would buy out all the schools so i didn't have to go back.
