Walt Disney
Walt Disney is a prominent example of the American Dream. Walt Disney started off the Walt Disney Company with no money, no big-shot connections around Hollywood, absolutely nothing but his creativity and a simple idea. That idea was to create animation and cartoons for the world to love. Walt Disney didn’t care if he made a lot of money off his cartoons, he just wanted to keep doing what he loved: to make animation. Disney once said, "You reach a point where you don't work for money" (JustDisney.com). Even when it came to funding the construction of his theme parks, he gave up all of his money just so his animations would carry over to be loved by the next several generations for years to come. As Disney once commented about the construction of Disneyland, "It's no secret that we were sticking just about every nickel we had on the chance that people would really be interested in something totally new and unique in the field of entertainment” (JustDisney.com). Walt Disney represents the hard-working, perseverant American, and a lot can be learned from studying his life. “Through his work, he brought joy, happiness and a universal means of communication to the people of every nation.
Rat key
Overall, this is a pretty good book. I like the idea of the plot. I do not like the dialogue, though. It is rather choppy and unrealistic in some places. However, you have a well developed world and characters. I like that you can immediately imagine what Rat is like. I do not think that the way you deliver his thoughts are very good. This is a pretty good detailed book.The only problems that I really saw was the fact that the story changed from scene to scene almost instantly, and the scenes did not seem to last very long.
Art
Just because the beginning captured my attention, I, as a reader, feel no obligation to continue the piece if it begins to bore me. Feelings are very nice, yes, everyone has feelings and emotions to talk about - but it is only a bit of constructive criticism in saying that by cutting down your piece to a palatable length, you will capture that many more people's attention, and that many more people will read it through to the end. As opposed, to, say, reading the first paragraph, predicting how the entire piece will go, and barely skimming over the last part. Many people, when they're angry, they'll start ranting, spout off a million extraneous details concerning the event - and how many people are listening to them? Maybe it's interesting to the person ranting, maybe it's their entire world at that moment- but no one is obligated to listen because it's that person's passion, or because it contains that person's feelings. They'd stick around because the rant (some objective comparison needed here) is honestly interesting, or they'll zone out and maybe console with a few empty words.
Obviously the person who wrote this meant it to be seen by others, so refining their writing with a twice-over and some smart self-editing won't ruin their "passionate voice", or anything like that.
Space Pollution
In 1978, the Soviet Union Kosmos 954, which contained a nuclear power source,re-entered over Canada and left debris over an area the size of Austria. In 1969, five Japanese sailors were injured by pieces of space debris that hit their ship. The largest piece, weighing one thousand pounds, landed in Australia in 1979. It has also been reported that the Challenger's windshield was damaged by a paint chip in 1983. Although no life-threatening damage has resulted from collisions thus far, the potential threat remains. Many solutions are being considered by scientists and engineers, however, the challenge to finding a solution lies within all of the nations who have helped to pollute our new frontier. If we do not accept this challenge, I feel the long-term consequences will jeopardize our future travels in space and damage our earth's land and itsinhabitants.
Alice in wonderland
Alice in Wonderland is a fantastic book for anyone from the age of 11 to 15 who enjoys relatable characters, humorous irony, and an average amount of suspense. Lewis Caroll did a great job of making the characters very funny and they would bring a smile to anyone’s face. The irony is another part of the book that would make one laugh. The suspense is just enough to keep one interested, but not so much that it takes away from the simple plot of the story. So, anyone with a wild imagination who enjoys reading about fantasy, will be captivated by this book from beginning to end.
Africa
Africa is a natioin that was divide by not how rich or poor they were , but by the way they looked. Now when africa was found by sailors. Africans were captured and made into slaves. And all of africa's treasures were taken like gold,and diamonds. Some of Africa's own people sold each other into slavery for money or immunity from becoming a slave. Now after the sailors had left Africa was all but happy. Because of the slavery and betrail. They were no divid by the name the sailors gave them during there stay.Depending on your skin color or your height, you were treated beater.In my opinion, I myself think that they should have talked about how they could have restarted there nation from nothing into a triumphing country.

The Day MUSIC DIED
Topic:
About a school banning music of any type from there school. The banned was suggested the ban for hearing offensive on the bus. Students protested against the ban. But even the Super attended agreed with the ban. I feel that the
music should not have been banned because of one song. And to avoid that problem they should have changed the station not banning all music.

10/07/13-Resent News
A family's house got robbed some where in Indiana. Now the story is that the thief came in through the basement window. Now when they entered the house one had a gun pointed at the wife. And told her to o wake up her husband from bed. So he could unlock the family safe. Afterward, saying " start using your alarm system". That is a little weird for a thief to say that if he or she has not be in your house before.
List your comments;)
