Hi Savanna,

I Am Poem

I am...

I am curios but knowledgeable

I wonder what other people think of me

I hear patterns in sound

I see people falling in love

I want a drum set

I am curious but knowledgeable

I pretend I have super powers

I feel excited to try new things

I touch drumsticks while playing

I worry we'll all die

I cry when others fight

I am curious but knowledgeable

I understand things quickly

I say things as I see them

I dream everybody will be treated equally

I try to be as random as possible

I hope people understand me

I am curious but knowledgeable

Christmas break

My Christmas break was awesome.  I got cool presents and got to visit family, watch movies, and play in the snow. It was the best.

It started out on Monday. The whole week leading up to Christmas was really lame(except for Christmas Eve).  I sat home doing nothing, asking my mom if I could wrap presents. The only thing that kept me going was the fact that we weren't in school. Finally on Christmas Eve my cousins who live in Provo came over.  We had glazed ham and funeral potatoes.  It was delicious! After that we talked some and opened presents. I got skittles and a Coldstone gift card.

            The next day was Christmas.  My parents have this dumb rule where you can’t go downstairs and see what “Santa” gave you until they say. Long story short I got an electrical drum set for Christmas.  It’s really cool because it can do all the things a regular drum set can do times one hundred. It has a whole bunch of different sounds of different drums. The rest of the day we just played around with what we got.
            The week between Christmas and New Years we went up to Idaho. My grandma and cousins live there and we had lots of fun. We talked, went bowling, went sledding, and watched movies throughout the week. It was all lots of fun

Utopias

     I think utopias can be good or bad. It all depends on personalities and your personal desires.
     There are several reasons why utopias are a bad thing. In this book and other utopias(like Hitler's) people think it must be a perfect race in order for the communities to work properly. That means you must release or kill all the ones that don't fit in. This means they believe people don't have the ability to change (which people do). Secondly, people had no feelings in the utopia in the giver. Feelings and memories are a part of life. They are what make things fun. Though there are bad memories, experiencing different feelings are all a part of life. The adventure's in the journey not the destination.
     There are many advantages to living in a utopia. All the bad things are taken away so you never experience pain or any bad emotions. My brother smashed my finger in a door about a month ago. It was excruciating and would have been very convenient to be able to receive medication that immediately took away the pain (like Jonas received). Your life would be completely planned out and you wouldn't have to make decisions. I wouldn't have to apply for colleges, not even knowing what career I wanted to undertake. Elders would select a career that would match your personality and you'd by almost guaranteed to love your job. It would be perfect(kind of).

School lunch is DISGUISTING

    I don't know if there is anything worse than school lunch.  It looks like poop, tastes like poop, and smells like poop.  Mrs. McNaughton even agrees.  She just walked by and told me herself.  She said that when her husband was in seventh grade he threw a piece of cheese on the cafeteria ceiling.  Later, when he was in ninth grade that same piece of cheese was still there, proving the plastic cheapness of itself.
     How I think school lunch is made:
     First, they go to the dumpster and find anything that's not metal (mainly plastic) and grab it for there "food".  Second, they divide them into color groups so they put them together to make it look like certain foods.  Then they arrange the garbage into things that look like food by adding together plastic of different colors.  Next, they put there "food" in the oven for 20 minutes in order to make it somewhat hot.  Then they serve it as if nothing happened.  You'll also occasionally find a hair in your lunch, compliments of the chef.

I wish I had a dog.

       Man I wish I had a dog.  There are so many people I know who have dogs who love them.  Of course if I had one I'd want an inside dog.  I've heard people are a lot more connected to there dogs if they're around them throughout there daily life.  I know a dog would be like having another brother or sister but I think I could handle the responsibility.  You can play things like catch and tug a war with a dog unlike a cat.  Dogs would be your best friend and be there would no one else is.
      Why have a dog over a cat?  I'll tell you. Dogs are always active(except when they are old), and never lose energy.  My friend Jackson just got a 6 month old dog.  When I walked into his house his dog had run 3 circles around me before I walked 2 feet.  If that's not energy then I don't know what is.  Cat's on the other hand just sit around and sunbathe waiting for there next meal.  They only care about themselves and shed a ton of hair.  I'm also allergic to cats.  They make my eyes itch and make me feel like I have a cold.  A dog will go outside and play with you until you're tired, not them. I love dogs and want one more than anything else in the world.  If I were offered a dog or a million dollars, I'd want a dog.:)
