Napoleon Vs. Hitler (Brandon)

Napoleon is like adolf hitler because he is a mean dictator and he leads through pain and suffering and he doesn’t care about the people he leads. When hitler became the dictator of Germany everybody thought he would do the right things and lead Germany the right way similar to napoleon. The negative signs that showed that napoleon would be a bad dictator because he made some stupid commandments  and ordering people around and treating them unfair. When hitler took over Germany he began taking over more and more European countries. When he invaded Poland he killed a lot of jews. When napoleon took over the animal farm he made up rules and everybody was told to follow them. Some of the negative signs were when he took over the farm and start doing things  that were not good for the animal farm. When hitler took over  Germany the people ignored the warning signs because everybody liked him and thought he would be a good leader that’s kinda like in animal farm they thought napoleon was a good leader until he started to do bad things then everybody thought he was no good. I think that’s how the story is similar to when hitler took over Germany.

Equal Rights (Brandon)

The equal rights that we didn’t have back along time ago is that African-American people could not eat in the same places as white people. Colored people had to sit in the back of the buses and eat at different restaurants and they would get treated bad and unfair. Back in the 1950’s African-Americans had basically no rights and they were separated from everybody else. If they did not follow the rules then they would go to jail. Rights that we have no that we didn’t have in the past is we can be in the same place as everybody else and eat at the same restaurants and go where all the white people could go. In the 1960’s they had a civil rights movement and the leader was a guy named Martin Luther King jr he started protests and fought for peoples rights. A few years later he got assassinated. Shortly after that they passed a law that gave everybody equal rights. The rights we didn’t have  before that happened was they couldn’t be together with  white people like they couldn’t eat together, couldn’t drink from the same water fountains or even use the same bathrooms, and they couldn’t  go to the same schools as white people. That’s what life would be like if we did not have rights.

Laws (Brandon)

Life without laws would be crazy because everybody could do whatever they want to do. If someone wanted to steal anything they could do it without getting in trouble and if we didn’t have any laws or rules we would have no police officers because there would be no reason to have them without any laws. If I didn’t have any rules or laws I would do anything I would want to like skip school and other stuff like that and I would not have to worry about getting in trouble by the school or my parents or the police. If we didn’t have any laws the world would be really dangerous because all of the criminals could do anything they want to do because there would be no laws or rules.

I think fear is a good motivator because if you put fear into someone and tell them to do something they would do it because they would be motivated to do something. Sometimes putting fear in someone could be bad because you might scare them to where they would be scared of you or you might scare them to where they would get mad and they would want to fight you or try to put fear into you. So sometimes fear is a good thing because you would be motivating them to do something and sometimes it would be bad because they might feel threatened it depends what you are trying to motivate them for.

Fate (Brandon)

I believe in fate because I think people cannot make there own destiny because somethings just happens for a reason like people cant choose who they fall in love with because you cant predict what your heart tells you. If people chose what happens in the future I think there would be no surprises in life. I believe sometimes people should choose what happens in the future because it might actually better because the future  might be bad. When it comes to love and other stuff I believe fate would be the best because on some things it would not be right if you could choose what happens. If you had a destiny like what you want to be when you grow up I think that would be best to try and make it your destiny because if not and you just go with what happens later it might not be what you wanted to do with your life and you would have been happier doing what you wanted to really do so that’s what I think when you should choose destiny and when you should just go with fate.

Love & Family (Brandon)

I think peoples family shouldn’t have a say in who u love because it is only one persons decision because it is there life they should love who ever they want to love. I think our society has changed because I never heard families choosing who they want son or daughter I only heard of it back in the old days so I think society has changed sine then. My family doesn’t play a role in who I love because they want me to make my own decisions if my family had to choose who I fall in love with I would stay single forever because I will probably not like who they choose, they will probably be someone I don’t like.

Helena says, “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.”

I think that is true because I think a lot of people love the way someone looks but they don’t know if they like the person they are. I think that’s how a lot of relationships are that’s why people fight a lot and that’s why people break up all the time.

Dreams (Brandon)

Dreams to me represent what your thinking of when you fall asleep and sometimes dreams represent what you want to be when you grow up like what your goals in life is. Sometime dreams do come true. People say if you dream about something it would usually come true. Dreams do have an effect on reality because people say if you have a dream that is realistic it would come true in the future. I had a dream one time about school and like I had a dream. It was about me doing something bad in class I figured since it was a dream it wasn’t going to come true so I did not listen to my dream so when I went to school later that week I did something stupid in class and I got in trouble later I was thinking and I remember about the dream I had and I was like wow the dream came true.
