The Hobbit

The Hobbit is one of my favorite books. The book has outrageous adventure and journey throughout the book. It was an excitable book, and makes me want to keep on reading. This book is about a hobbit that went on a mission with Gandalf and the dwarfs to the Lonely Mountains and his name is Bilbo Baggins. The Journey is not only just to get to the Lonely Mountain; he traveled to many different places and meets many different creatures and not only just good creatures. They can be bad. Part of the story, Bilbo has to get through the trolls, the goblins, the elf, and many more. One of the examples is, he has fallen into a goblin’s cave, and met Gollum. Bilbo has to find his way out by answering the riddles. Also, Beorn, a human who can turn into a bear, helped Bilbo to escape from the goblins. Then Bilbo meets the elves and celebrates a holiday then, there’s a group of dwarfs, elves and Bilbo has to defeat a dragon to reclaim their gold again. There is much more fun adventure to read in the story. If you’re interested in reading old sci-fi adventurous journey, I suggest you to read The Hobbit.

The Boy and His New Family (The Road)

After the father died, the boy had a whole new fresh journey on his own. Cormac McCarthy ended by saying the boy found a new family, who are also hiding. They started a journey together. The End. I didn't like it, and I will finish the story with my creative thoughts and ideas. I wanted to extend the ending more. One of my ideas was that the boy has found the family and they all went into hiding. The next day the boy has found out that the family is just a decoy. The boy has fallen into a trap. So then, the bad guys had captured the boy and forced him to be trained at a camp which will turn him into one of them. As the boy grew he was trained. He is was skilled, had military intelligence, and was strong but the boy had a feeling that he needed to end this. He knows that he can make a change because he has been trained. One day the boy had a flashback and it was about a conversation with his father,
We're going to be okay, aren't we Papa?
Yes, we are.
And nothing bad is going to happen to us.
That's right.
Because we're carrying the fire.
Yes, because we're carrying the fire.
The boy knew he had to carry the fire.
This is my creative thought process for completing the assignment due next Monday.

Why, Father?

The father from The Road, he had died. He died of loss blood, hunger, and cold. This wouldn't happened if he wasn't so paranoid. The boy have learned all the survival skills from the father, he was prepared to go on his own. There is one thing he refuse to listen that father had told him. If you see anyone out there, hide, they are bad people. Whatever you do not trust them. So, in the end when his father died, the boy meandered out in the road all on his own. He saw a man holding a shotgun, scarred face, and wearing black clothing, to hide part of his identity. The boy didn't run, he stood there, and waited for the man. The man came up to the boy, and asked where his father. He's dead. Oh. The man pondered and decided to ask the boy to live with his family. The boy said are you one of the good guys? The man says you have to trust me if you can. The boy went with him. He recovered all his things and lived with his family. The first thing came to my mind is that why father is so paranoid. If he wasn't afraid to meet people out in the street then they could have formed a group. They could worked together to survive. The father would been alive, and the boy wouldn't be so lonely. The boy had carried the fire.

A Wise Monkey
By: Danny Laughlin


On a very hot sunny day in Timbuktu, Mali of Africa, there was a large village that is in chaos. They needed a new leader, who is fast, strong, and very wise. On that day, the Lion roared on the top of the hill, to get everyone’s attention. He’s the Lion King, name Sundiata. He has something to say, “We are in trouble,” Sundiata sighs, “My minister says, I’m not running this village properly. So, We need a new leader, who has an ability to run fast, has strength, and very wise. If you think you can lead, the contest starts tomorrow, 1 p.m. thanks for your time.” Sundiata was sad. The whole town was clamoring about the news, they were shocked, but who is going to compete? Polka Dot, the cheetah, walks through the village being all macho and he announced he’s going to compete and win. “Haha, I have speed, strength, but I don’t know about wise, but everyone is afraid to compete against me! Losers! Mawhahaha!” Polka Dot laughed. The village was scared, and didn’t want Polka Dot to win! This is a disaster They had to find someone who willing, and can compete him. Hulk, the Rhino decides to step in and compete. “Well, I have strength! I can beat him.” Says the Hulk but everyone was concerned because he was a bully awhile ago, and didn’t think Hulk fits to be a leader. There was rumor all around in town, that a old wise monkey name Einstein is going to compete. “WHAT!! Who the heck is he?” Yelled the Polka Dot.

How Would You handle ofbeing the last person on Earth?

Being the last person on Earth would be the most disastrous thing ever. When I thought this over, I wondered, "who am I going to talk with, and hang out with?" There is no one is there for you. Survival is what people need to know when they are the last human being on earth. Many people say they need food, shelter, and warmth, and I already know how to live. I learned everything I need to know in Boyscout. I already learned wilderness survival, cooking, first aid, and camping. I'm going to survive through those things but how can I survive through boredom, the only living being on earth! If I assumed I was going to die of boredom. The worst death you can ever think of. I would be fine with that, and I would be back with my people in heaven. There is nothing I can do to stop that. If I was a women, I would definitely try to repopulate the earth. It may be awhile to do that, but hey there's something to do. People have ask me if I can handle of being alone. Yes, indeed I can handle like a gentleman. But there is one problem, I don't think I ever want to be alone for the rest of my life.

Calylpso's Island, and Buffalo New York

As I remembered when I was reading about Odysseus was trapped at Calypso's island. I had a flashback. I was 6 years old, and I was in Buffalo New york. So, I thought this is a good connection, and I'll tell you why. One time, I was really angry that we can't get to do what I want to do. We were in the museum, the worst place you can ever be in and I wanted to see the old light house on the shore, it was like a quarter mile away. I never stop thinking about it. I thought it wasn't no big deal to lie and tell my parents that I need to go to the bathroom. So, I decided to sneak out and run as fast as I can to get the light house. All the sudden, I started to feel scared because I was assumed that I was lost for sure. I looked around and tried to find the light house or the museum and I couldn't and I freaked out. I felt trapped cause I didn't want to go any farther because I'll be even more lost than I ever was. Also, I didn't know which way is back home. I was crying and didn't know what to do because I was trapped. I thought that it is similar to Odysseus's story, that he was trapped and wanted to go back home, Ithaca. So, as I was lost, I heard someone, strangely I can hear very well, but I know I heard something. I followed the voice and found my way out. I noticed the museum again, and I went in to find my family. They were very worried, and thought I was lost somewhere in the museum. I told the story to my parent, what really happened.

Canada, Here we come!

As I was reading the article, I was shocked. Since Obama was elected for president, there was a rumor that people was talking about moving to Canada but there is a problem. As the article was saying that Canada has a very strict policy. You can't just get in and find a place to live for the next 4 years. The first thing you have to do is to take a test to become a citizen. The test is not that easy, she said. You have to know their government, their politics, and background about Canada. Also, the police will search you and your background to find if it's safe to let you in. So, I started to ponder, "Well I have a cabin at Rainy Lake, which it is in Canada. Can I just go up to my cabin and live there? Well, because in last few years, all I had to is get my I68, and RABC and then I can stay at my cabin. Will it be different this year?" I was curious what could happen next summer. Can I just do the same, or the police will be more stricter? This article was important, because its telling you to be more prepared if you're moving to Canada, this is not easy as you thought it would be.
