Survival Extents

I often wonder exactly what extent I really would go to in order to live. In anatomy we just watched a movie called The Island, this movie was about rich people who would get clones made so whenever they get old or need a new body part or organ, they would just take it from the clone. These people would spend 5 million dollars to ensure their survival. I probably would not go that far because I consider it to be cheating death.

Just because I would not  have a clone made does not mean I will not take action to survive. Because there are so many ways to die, I really cannot give an express how far I would go to live. Someone could be a million dollars if I was held at gunpoint that I would fight to the literal death, whether it be me or the gunman who died, someones going to. No one just points a gun at me and expects to have me by the strings like a puppet. However, if I am laying in a hospital bed brain dead, then I would want my family to "pull the plug" because I don't want to live if living would mean me being a vegetable, not retaining anything, that is not living to me.

Clearly the extent I would go to to survive anything surely varies depending on the situation. Mostly I would do anything, but I really cannot tell just yet because I have not been in a situation to where I had to choose right then....yet anyway.

Junior Year vs Senior Year

As of May 18th approximately 7pm, I consider myself to be a BHS senior. Wow I am excited about my last year of high school. The years really have been great, but I am just ready to go to college, live on my own, and have the responsibility of an adult. I want to show the world (and my parents) that I am capable of more than just my grades and cleaning my room. First though, I have to survive my senior year (and the 2012 apocalypse). Obviously my junior year was by far the hardest, so I'm sure I can live through the next school year.

In my opinion, junior year was rougher than sandpaper! Sure, there were some easier classes like history, clothing, English, and Spanish, but there were also some classes so challenging I could (did) cry. Pre-calculus, Chemistry, and Anatomy were some fit-worthy classes. Throughout this year I made several new friends, met new teachers, and enjoyed several clubs and events. This year definitely has been unique and one I will never forget.

The year of 2012-2013 will be my very last year of Batesville High School; whoot whoot! I will surely miss all the teachers that helped prepare me for the "real world" and my friends who I have loved since the day we met, but just because I will miss them does not mean I will forget all the fantastic memories we had together. I have about two months until I begin my senior year, and about twelve before I walk down the isle to graduate. Oh boy cue the tears.

Anthropomorphism (Lorpiv)

Before I knew the meaning, the word anthropomorphism made my head throb. The gigantic word means a conception or representation, as of a deity. The head throbbing was in the past, now that I'm familiar with the meaning, I automatically think of a ghost or a personification. In my opinion, the meaning for anthropomorphism could have been a much shorter word than 16 letter word, more like six letters could do. For example spirit? No then that would have multiple meanings, okay so i need to invent my own word...lorpiv. Lorpiv is my new word anthropomorphism.

Responsibility is the Cost of Life

When you are born, there is a certain role you must play; a certain responsibility you must take on. Some would say that responsibility is the cost of life. My life? My responsibility? I believe your responsibility is to just live life to the fullest.

Just like Titanic, the Captain himself said, "God himself could not sink this ship, it is unsinkable," then the ship sank. It is kind of like Karma. The responsibility of the captain's life was to make sure that boat wouldn't sink and to get the passengers where they needed to be safely. He did not fulfill that responsibility, therefore he lost his life because he did not pay the cost of life.

In The Call of the Wild, Buck has definitely paid his debt, therefore he keeps his life. Eventhough inarticulate in the beginning, he learned how to pull a sled, how to live in the wild, and how everything works. He fought his own battles, and obdurately took every beating like a man because he knew he deserved it.

Clearly, every life comes with a certain responsibility. The question is: have you fulfilled your responsibility? I haven't fulfilled mine yet, but hopefully I will, after I find out what it is. It may take time, but I'm willing to wait. Until then, I plan to live life to the fullest.

Paragraph - How Frankenstein Changed

          The character, Victor Frankenstein, does not maintain the same person throughout the Novel, Frankenstein. He starts off as a reluctant boy before college, then he goes absolutely mad while crating a being. He becomes very ill and rampant then recovers with the help of his friend, Clerval. As the monster he made before slowly kills all Frankenstein's loved ones, Victor goes madly insane again trying to kill the creation he took so long to make. Clearly, Victor Frankenstein has multiple personalities within this novel.
