Color Red

1. If I was describing the color red to a blind person I would try and describe it through their other senses. Imagine when you listen someone screaming of pain that is how color red would be. If you had to taste color red you would have to take a bite of an habanero chili, and that is the taste of an intense red. Now, if you want to taste a light red then you would have to eat a cherry. If you would like to touch the color red then you would have to carry a hot cup of coffe that is how red would feel like. If you smelled a strawberry that is how red would be. This is how I would describe the color red to a blind person. 

Competition

2. In my society there is a competition but it is a healthy one. The competition is for who gets accepted in the best universities, and for that you have to get very good grades. That is the competition is fought everyday when we go to school and who ever decides not to study they eliminate themselves from the competition. This is a good thing for us who do want to go to a good university, beacuse there are less students that are planning on going to a university. Between some nations there are competitions that are very unhealthy and that could kill people. For example, USA and Al-Qaeda have a very strong competition and this competition could lead up to a war.

Vocabulary

3. What I have taken from my wonderful english class to my nonacademic life is all the vocabulary words. Every week I get five different power verbs and tone words and have to memorize them for a test. Since I memorized some of the words, now when I am talking with my friends or family I use those words that I have memorized. When I talk with those power verbs my friends stare at me and tell me, "Wow come down we are not in school no more." This makes me feel very intelligent and superior too. 

Abraham Lincoln

4. If I could go back in time and be someone in history I would definitely would choose to be Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States of America. Lincoln had very little education and was from a poor family, but he managed his way through and became a lawyer in Illinois then he was the leader of the country. Abraham Lincoln also did something very significant he put an end to salvery and freed almost all black people in his time period. Now, Lincoln is rememberd by everyone of us for what he did on his time period. This is why if I would go back in time I would like to be Abraham Lincoln.   

Clean Water

5. If I had 1 million dollars to spend on a project to improve living conditions I would spend that money on making some African communities have clean water to drink. Some African communities don't have clean water to drink. They drink water from the nearest pond or lake where animals had died and this can cause many diseases. Other people have to walk for miles in order to get clean water, and I think that with this project I would be helping many people. The project will consist on having water pipes underground in order for these people to get clean fresh water when ever they want. This will eliminate bad living conditions and might even extend a persons life. This is what I would do if I had the money to improve there living conditions. 

Changing the World

6. The way I am trying to help my nation from global warming is by throwing trash into the trash cans. I don't understand how people throw trash to the ground, I mean this is where we live. How can you live in a place full of trash, its just simply gross. I try to help out by throwing trash where it suppose to be thrown at, in the trash cans. I also recycle, that helps out too. By throwing trash to the trash cans we help on global warming and this also takes away diseases. If a place is full of trash it can cause bad problems to health. By throwing trash away correctly I think I am helping my nation.

Primitive Culture

7. If I had the chance to introduce a new material thing to a primitive culture it would be a computer. I would introduce a computer because I think that the computer is a very useful thing to have at this period of time. A computer is a very useful machine to have, with it you could do soo many different things. With a computer you have access to anything you want to know about. If you live in Chula Vista and want to know what is the weather in New York you could now right away. With a computer you can saty in touch with your frinds through social networks. Also, if you are bored and have nothing to do a computer has games that you could play. This is why I would introduce a computer to a primitive culture.
