Which World Is worse?

In my opinion i think 1984 is more ominous then Brave New World. For instance in 1984 you are always being watched so whatever you do they see...They will then come in the night take you away to the ministry to be investigated. They torture you until you confess then...you die. I'm pretty sure in Brave New World you don't get tortured to confess to something. Also in 1984 when you have kids they will join the spies most likely. The only thing wrong with this is that if they overhear you talking rebellious then they will turn you in to the thought police. Then just like i said before they torture you until you confess, then you die.In Brave New World bad things may happen but then the people will just take some soma to forget about it. This may be scary to some of you but if your looking in the view point of the people it isn't scary cause you can just forget everything that is scary. In Brave New World did you ever read about when the kids would turn their parents in to the police? If you did then reread the book cause they don't have parents! So they cant turn them in. In my opinion i think my kids turning me into the police would be scary cause you think you know them well and yall love each other then....BAM!The police are at your door and the kid gets a medal for turning in a traitor. Another reason may be that in 1984 the government is telling you that everything is okay. But in reality there are wars going on, people disappearing, even kids turning in their own parents. Now does that seem okay to you?

A World Without Media

World Without Media

By:Hawkin Nedoff

A world without media would not be safer and improved.  We would live with danger,questions, and the rest of the world would be a mystery to us.  Media can include TV, Newspaper articles, the radio, or even a poster with some information.  These things all give us information about what's new and happening in our society today.

My first reason is that if anything bad is about to happen we wouldn’t know unless someone calls calls us or comes and talks to  us in person before it happened. Like if another terrorist attack happens like on 9-11, we wouldn't know about it  until about a hour or so after it already happened. The dangers of us finding out late could be like if a terrorist attack was happening how would we know to get to safety if they were planning another one. We would have to rely on someone else to tell  us what happened and we all know that people can be forgetful or might not remember it correctly so we either couldn't get the information. Or we would get false information leading us to believe something not true. Or if the world is “going to end” how would we know if a meteor is about to hit the earth and we need to take cover? Certainly not by the radio or TV because there would be no media to tell us about it.

As you probably know there was a shooting in Connecticut at Sandy Cook Elementary, twenty children and six adults were killed. Now when you heard about this how did you find out? TV? Newspaper? Radio? From a friend?Even if you heard it from a friend where do you think they heard it from? Most likely the news or something. Point is that in a world with media influence we wouldn’t have heard about this tragic event. We may have just found out about like a week later because media influence would not have been involved to spread the news. It could be dangerous because how would the other school around that area know to get to safety? There might have been another shooter that is going to a different school while his buddy was at sandy cook . The media could inform other schools to go in lock down until it has been taken care of. If you think about it almost everyone watches TV and they will flip to a channel with some crazy  news that just happened. But in the world without media we wouldn’t have commercials to tell us the latest news or newspapers.

Another example maybe not as important as the others but when you wanna go see a movie you wouldn't know what movie is in theatres. Normally you would see the commercials for the movies and when they will be coming out or you could drive past the theatre and see the posters for movies. But in a world without media those things wouldn’t exist. Say you were going to see the Hobbit and when you got in the theatre there were no commercials in the beginning of the show. You won’t know what movies will be coming out so not any of that other stuff they  tell you.

Also not mentioned in my essay is that without media the advertisement would be horrible. It would be nearly impossible for someone to start a new business because they wouldn't be able to put up a sign to tell what the business is. So people wont come to the store turning the whole thing into a loss of money.So hopefully now you see a world without media influence would not be a  safer and improved world to live in. Like it says in my previous  paragraphs we will not know when danger comes, or we won't know the major events happening or we might miss a good movie that comes out. No Advertisement would not be a boon to mankind we would  have a bunch of people being confused and not knowing what’s going on.

Finnik Odair summary

Finnik in the Catching Fire book was a very important character. He was from district 4 (fishing) and was a victor at age 14. He is a very attractive man and that's how he won the hunger games. He didn't ask for weapons,food, medicine, or anything but during the game he got a trident which basically meant the games were over because he dominated after that! Katniss says that was the most expensive gift she has ever seen in the Hunger Games. He teams with Katniss and Peeta in the 75th Hunger Games. The cornucopia he finds 2 tridents and covers for Katniss to get the bow and arrows. Now they both have their weapons so they will be pretty amazing out there. But Katniss still doesn't trust him so to try and prove it he swam to get Peeta and bring him to land. Even though Katniss doesn't trust him throughout the book he still is a important character that helped save Katniss's life during the games.

Catching fire #3

The way the older tributes are back! Finnik has to do CPR to save Peeta because Peeta cant swim to get to the cornicopia with Katniss and Finnik.Katniss bands together (despite the near impossibility of communication between districts) with several other people in the games. But what she didn't know that they were all trying to save her life and were helping her even though it may have seemed like they wern't. They all work together to figure out the different things that happen at different times in the arena. Once they figured it out they found out how to break the force field around the arena and escape. The gamemaker was actually on Katniss's side the whole time and was waiting to rescue her once the field was down. She wakes up and finds herself on a ship unaware about whats happening. She finds the Gamemaker and Gale they explain it to her and now its time for book 3.

Catching Fire #2

So the Capital is really hateing District 12 right now. Plus all the crazyness in the rest of Panem! I like that this book has the time and space to give us a better look at the whole of Panem,since The Hunger Games had to be so focused on just District 12 and the Capitol. It gives a better view of how the entire country is reacting to one little act of defiance.Interesting right? Last time into the arena, it was romance. now, it’s pregnancy...Katniss must act like shes pregant with Peetas baby to seem like a helpless girl who cant do anything in the arena. But little do they know she will most likey be a feirce fighter. Her mentore is trying to get her to team with people inthe Games so she has a better chance. She doesnt want to though...she doesnt trust them.

Catching Fire #1

In The Hunger Games Katniss had one job.... survive in the Arena. To do this she used her skills and knowledge gained through years of surviving in District 12. But she also had to be charming and crowd pleaseing.In the first section of Catching Fire, she has a new job, calm the districts that had been wowed by her act of defiance. For this, she used brand-new skills like pretending to be in love, pretending to care about fashion and luxuries, and getting engaged to Peeta. Will it work? Is she capable of doing it? Will she even be able to just not make it worse? What will happen next?

Satire Essay "The Internet Doesnt Lie..."

Do you have one of those fancy social networking accounts? I do, If you don't have one you should consider getting one because you can do tons of stuff on it!! You can talk to your friends , like  their photos, and even write on their walls!! You just click the "News Feed" button and you see the statuses of all your friends. Social websites also contain fun games where you can have a farm and earn fake money! Or if you really want you can use your pay pal or visa credit cards to buy the new x2 tractor for harvest season! You can pay different prices for better stuff!! If you get tired of playing those amazing games you can just keep posting statuses about random stuff nobody cares about or wants to read. If you get annoyed with people who do that kinda stuff as well just go like a bunch of their statuses, photos, and random stuff so that you will be in all of their notifications!!!! Alot of the times you will see pictures that say stuff along the lines of "Like this picture picture or your mom will die... Ignore this picture if you hate your mom" or "(A picture of a starving kid in Africa) Like to give this kid food, Ignore if you want him to die". And I always like them cause I love my mom and don't want the poor kid to starve! And my friends will see it so they will think I'm a good person.  Cause all the cool people like the pictures that say that stuff. But one time I heard about a status that my friends uncle Larry saw from this co-worker in his office building saw from his cousin that said "He didn't like a picture that said if he didn't like it his mom would die..the next day his mom died..."Then i was like "I have to like everyone of those pictures because i don't want my mom to die!!!!". But foreal you need to like those because everything on the Internet is true! Like i saw that the world was gonna end in 2012. So that must be true cause it was on the Internet... and they cant lie on the Internet. But i'll get into the world ending conversation another time.
