Zeal to Survive

What I think the Zeal to survuve is, is miraculous. Human beings and creatures will to survive is everything and important to them. People would do anything for their survival and to go on in life.

Titantic is a very good example. There's people viciours pushing people out of the way to get on the other boats, leaving their loved ones behind stuck, people just laying down pretending to go to sleep, people playing their instruments without a care in the world, and people jumping in the water off the boat.

Call of the Wild is a little harder to explain, the Titantic the examples are out there and the Call of the Wild you have to find. When Buck was used as a sled dog for many many miles going on the same dreadful track over and over. He learned that you had to steal for more food, fight for leadership, learn to protect your food, stand up for yourself, and don't give up.

Two very different stories with horrible afflictions that are pretty much the same. They both do anything and everything they can to survive the horrible. Are you willing to do things you normally wouldn't do to survuve?

Anthropomorphism

My name is Stinger the wasp and I'm going to be making a nest today. I'm flying and zipping around getting all the supplies i need for our home. When bam! Out of no where there's people everywhere. I'm beset by all sides. I'm like oh no! I need to protect my family. I go into full attack mode going after them dodging hands, books, feet, anything they bring my way. I have to scare them off! I have to watch my stinger so, i wont get hurt. Next thing i know here comes a flly swatter squashing my home and family. I was so let down and mad that I stung and stung that human even if i die. Then i go lie down somewhere ready to join my family so i close my eyes and wait.

Victor Frankenstein and Robert Walton

     Victor and Robert are two very different people, but happen to try to behold an unreachable goal that's impossible. Which happens to be that one realizes that his goal is rediculous and the other died trying.
     Victor and Robert both set out on goals they could not achieve. Robert against nature through very cold climates on a ship and Victor against a ferine horrible monster that he has created and regrets horribly.
     Victor would never give up, he was too ill minded. He just kept on trying to prove people wrong and it turned out disaterous. Victor told his story to Robert, so after Victor died Robert realized he was heading for the same end Victor headed to he turned that ship right around.. Victor never got to reach his goal he died trying and Robert realized that was the same path he was going down. Victor and Robert are different, Robert got told what an unreachable goal would do to someone and Victor went through it.
   

Power to Create Life

If given the power to create life as Frankenstein did, I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't create such a thing. For fear of how it would turn out and if the thing I was creating kept dieing.

For one there's no telling what it would come out as evil or good. For instance, it could turn out an evil monster and go through the city acting with celerity you live and kill everyone. It could even kill the creator, and if that happened who would know how to kill it.

At last, another reason would be because what im my creation kept dieing. It would take a tremendous amount of your social life. Just be stuck somewhere creating something you don't even know. Also you could get use to the creature and feel bad for it before it died and you had to work on it again.

I think it goes against GOD because god has our lifed planned out for us already and making something god wouldnt be able to plan it's future, plus it would be all your fault so no i wouldnot. I have many more reasons as to why i wouldnt i only named a few above.

Frankenstein

I'm not really thrilled of reading Frankenstein, books like that are hard to understand whats really going on. Like it has a deeper meaning then whats being said and sometimes I can't always understand..Victor was superfluous constantly at work with that thing..Plus monsters aint my type of reading. Also a man can't even create life I mean through sperm yeah, but not with scratch. From my point of view God should only create life of men and women. Which means men don't have the right because god has a plan for you. What I think is very meraculous is that a women made this book at the age of 19 she must have been really smart. I don't beilieve in the sorcerer's stone, but I do believe in magic to an extent. However, I really don't believe in immortality there is not someone out there that can live forever that just wrong. Even in the bible everyone dies. Yeah they lived alot longer than we do now, but eventually they died.

2012 Theme Word

I choose to be Smarter because intelligence is the best aspect to have...For it to come naturally it's great, but some people like me have to learn and absorb what im being taught and remember. If i became smarter it would help a whole lot I wouldnt have to stress about not knowing how to do my homework.

Smarter for me means being more dedicated and wanting to open my mind and absorb what is being taught to me. Right now im just coming to terms with being smart gets you far in life if you know how to use it. So im going to have to be openminded and dedicated.

I also need more common sense the more i have the least likely I would make bad choices and the things I should already know so I wouldnt make bad choices....And start down the right path of my life which ever that is.

My Antonia

Willa Cather in her novel My Antonia offers her view of life during the pioneer time by telling about Jim Burton and all the residents of the place he lives and their experiences.
My Antonia would be really different if the story was told from Antonia point of view. It would be all about her feelings and how she felt and what it was like for her growing up. Jim's telling the story and talking about his life through that time period and Antonia would have different experiences and stories to tell.
Cather got really realistic with Jim's character. I did not even know she was a women. It seems like she knows how a young man would act and feel. It is unique how a women could write in a man's point of view and know how to do it. She got Jim's character down packed he always seemed like he was a boy in the novel never thought about this question before.
Hmmmm.! Why would he change the title from Antonia to My Antonia? I have a very good reason that makes really good since in to how I think he would change the title. For one he's always had a crush on Antonia and thought she was different from the rest of the girls that lived there. He also grew up with her and taught her how to speak English and had to help her through a tragedy when her father died. So he's really close to her. So that's why I guess he changed the name to My Antonia
