Basic human needs


Things I do everyday to survive:

1. Eat - Obviously people cannot survive without food
2. Sleep - The human body can survive longer without food than without sleep
3. Drink - Humans can only last about a week without water


Things I do everyday to feel powerful:

1. I make fun of Michael - Making fun of Michael is the only way to make myself feel smart, that's not to say Michael's not smart, in fact I'm pretty sure that he's smarter than me, but whenever we disagree Michael isn't very good at backing up his ideas and usually has his facts wrong, so I end up winning


Things I do everyday to belong

1. Get dressed - If I show up to school naked, there is no way in hell I'm fitting in, not speaking from experience, just a guess


Things I do everyday to feel free

1. Play Minecraft - In Minecraft there are no rules, you can do anything you want, and it gives you a sense of freedom knowing that you play the way you want to play and nobody can say you're doing it wrong.


Things I do everyday to have fun

1. I play video games - Videogames are fun and I enjoy playing them because I can do whatever I like as long as it's within the confines of the game

An Eye For An Eye (Short Story)

"An eye for an eye", that's what they all say, that's how I live, and it's worked out for me so far. Some people disagree with what I do, they call me a villain, a criminal the "Bad guy", but I think I'm much more than a "Low life criminal" I'm the hero, a vigilante, the only goddamn person in this fucked up world to do what's right and believe in it. Do you know what pisses me off? It's not the government, that's cliche`. No what I really hate are the people, the people who stand by and let bad things happen, not just the people who commit crimes, but the people who stand by with there slaked-jaw gaze doing jack shit about it. It's not the government's fault that people are cowards, but it seems like I'm the only person doing anything about it. It all started one day, when my parents were murdered, but it's not what you think, weren't  leaving the opera when some maniac jumped out from the shadows and killed them, no, nothing like that. I killed them.

My father always told me to fight for what I believe in, I think it's one of those things that parent's just tell you, boy I bet my father regrets telling me that. My dad was a crook, a murderer, thief, etc. He ran a law firm, he was a defense lawyer, because of him rapist, murderers and crooks were back on the streets. Tell me does that make him any better?   I asked him what happens when the people get convicted, "They die" he said,  I said "But everybody dies" He looked at me and said "These people get killed." Killed. These people get killed. That's exactly what he said. So calmly, they get killed, murdered, like it happens every day, and it does, because of him. when I asked him why they die he said "An eye for an eye" I asked him "They get killed because they kill?" he just nodded. "How does that make you any better?" he seemed pretty confused, which was strange because i thought my question was pretty straight forward. "If you let all the people that kill back on the street to kill again, doesn't that mean that you technically killed to?" He looked at me and said "I guess you could look at it that way" and he let out a little laugh. Yes, my dad was an idiot. I looked at him and asked "So, who kills you?" He looked at me panicked. "Why would you ask me that?" Needless to say I got sent to my room. I couldn't sleep, knowing that a murderer was sleeping not two rooms away, so I fought for what I believed in. It's a good thing that I keep a baseball bat beside my bed for intruders, and to me my dad is an intruder. If you really think about it it's my dad's fault, fight for what you believe in, I believe that murderers should get killed, well My dad's screams woke up my mom, she had it coming too. So, I was an orphan by thirteen.

Iv'e moved up since then, there was a doctor, a brain surgeon, he got drunk and killed a patient. So I had a talk with him, show him what it's like to be operated on by a drunk, unfortunately I didn't have anesthetic  or surgery tools, but I had gardening tools. Don't worry It wasn't slow, that's not what i'm about, because they know why their there, and they know why this is happening to them. That's all I want. Another man, killed a nine-year-old girl. He was high as a kite. He had a daughter, she was twenty five. I killed her right in front of him. Sure she wasn't the same age, but he knows what it's like to lose a daughter. The worst part is he didn't care, he just cared about getting high, so I thought i'd help him out, kind of a "Final request". Who knew 30g of "Magic mushrooms" injected directly into your heart would kill you. Well you cant really blame me, i'm not so good with drugs.There was still one person, that one person that I could't get, the one man that haunted me for years, but I could never kill him, but today he will finally get what's coming.

Before you flip that switch, before I die, I hope what i'm about to say will make you think. You asked me what my final words were,here they are. "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind,  you cant see the sin, but it's still in your mind, it's a disease you can't cure, a disease called sin, you just need to fight, for what you believe in.

Rwanda Theme

The story i chose to relate to the topics of rwanda is the novel 1984 By George Orwell.

 I chose this novel because it is about a man named "Big Brother" who has total control over the country and they use propaganda to make you think that "Big Brother" is da bomb, and if you even think about overthrowing the government they will arrest you and take you to jail.

I chose this novel because it relates to propaganda because of the posters posted round saying "Big Brother Is watching you"

Another theme is creation of outsiders because there is a group of people called "the brotherhood" that try to overthrow the government

Here is a video giving a brief overveiw of the novel:
