1st Journal Entry: 1) Describe your idea of a perfect world. include all important information.
My idea of a perfect place would be perfect in my mind. You would have endless money and do mostly whatever you want. The government would not be generally strict but it would be very law-enforcing. Although the laws would not be very strict the laws would be very serious. Some of them would be like no killing and no smoking and other things that are problems in our regular world today. Another thing would be no global warming and that is good for everybody and the animals. That would help the ice glaciers in the Arctic and would help the polar bears. Your families would be a family that you never fight with and you would have as many siblings up to three children. Your children would get a top of the line education with the best teachers ever. A good thing for kids at school will be their one hour free period. The climate in a perfect world be a mild temperature year round. Everybody who lives in the world will be a Christian. They will believe in God and will do what is right most of the time. The time that you wouldn't be doing something right would be during a competition or when you are really ticked. Food and shopping would be same old same old as it is here with all your Wal-marts and Targets and Bi-Lo's. Although the food would be different. It would be mostly junk, candy, hot dogs, burgers, and pizza but there would also be some other good foods.

2nd Journal Entry: 2) Describe a time when you were scared, what happened?
A time when I was scared was when I was on a haunted hayride and people were popping out at you. Although you kind of knew it was coming they made it so that they almost tricked you. They made seem like it was going to happen on one side but then it pops out on the other side of the trailer. IT was pretty scary. They did the same thing the whole ride except with different people from different horror movies like

    Have you ever thought of other worlds, how other worlds might be real, how humans could be helping them? The main character Piper has never seen The Mark of the Dragonfly, until she finds a girl amongst a caravan wreckage during the meteor storm. The girl recalls nothing of her life, although the dragonfly tattoo indicates she belongs to the dragonfly territories. That symbolizes that if Piper returns the girl to the dragonfly territories, King Aron will repay Piper with a prize so extravagant, no one could handle.

    I absolutely love scary things. For example, I love haunted houses. Every year my family goes to the Safe House haunted houses at Tech. I usually bring a friend of my choice. Well, last year I brought Kaela Blais. She’s not into scary stuff like I am. When we went in the first haunted section, we walked about halfway down the hallway and she started crying. So I ended up walking out with her and my little brother and cousin came with us cause they were scared too. I had to comfort her on the way down and we sat in some chairs and waited for the rest of my family. I really wanted to go in the haunted house but I didn’t want to leave Kaela. We ended up finding two other of my friends and we went in this house that was for little kids and it was lame, but fun. In one of the hallways there was bubble wrap all over the floor and that entertained us a lot. Me and my friends had a lot of fun…

    There is but a single key characteristic needed to form a perfect utopia. That is the absence of morality, which for this purpose will be those principles that differentiate between right and wrong. A certain domino effect must be properly and precisely set off in order to create this utopia, failure at any point will result in total systemic collapse at the hands of the governed. To begin, freedom must be completely revoked. Citizens will have all choices made for them by their superiors. This will in turn lead to more sameness, every last person a perfect replica of the last. Everyone’s loss of individuality will result in a singular form of shared morality, dictated by the higher-ups. If each person shares the same morals, not only will…

    “Finally the Nines were all resettled in their seats, each having wheeled a bicycle outside, where it would be waiting for its owner at the end of the day. Everyone always chuckled and made small jokes when the Nines rode home for the first time. ”Want me to show you how to ride?” older friends would call. “I know you’ve never been on a bike before!” But invariably the grinning Nines, who in technical violation of the rule had been practicing secretly for weeks, would mount and ride off in perfect balance, training wheels never touching the ground.” - Chapter 6, page 46…

    Jonas immersed himself in the memory. Suddenly, he was sitting down next to a small window. He looked out and upon seeing the clouds he realized he was flying. Below, he could see a long strip of tree tops, skyscrapers, bridges and tiny moving dots. He noticed that all the people around him were sitting orderly, in rows. There was blue carpeting on the floor and white paneling on the ceiling. He was in what seemed like a long and narrow tunnel. “I must be in a plane, Jonas thought.” He had never been inside a plane before, but he had seen some flying over the community. Suddenly, a large thump resonated followed by multiple noises and explosions. People were startled and confused, murmuring to each other.…

    A perfect world would consist of unlimited food, happiness, and music. Also, everyone is happy all day every day, no conflict would take place, and no one ever would feel hurt or injured. A perfect world, or utopia, is the exact opposite of a dystopia, which is the type of the literature the stories “The Lottery” and “The Veldt” are. I would never want to live in the dystopian lives of “The Lottery” or “The Veldt” for two reasons, and in the “The Lottery” for another reason.The first reason would be that I would feel fairly controlled in the stories. In “The Lottery,” society seems to control all of the community members. Their society told them that every year in June, they would meet at the meeting place for the lottery. Their society…

    Perfect is something everyone tries to be, but can never accomplish. The word “perfect” is a word used often in some cases but not necessarily accurate. “Utopia”, is a word defined as, “and ideal place, or state”. A utopia is also referred to as “perfect” place. Utopias opposite, a dystopia, is defined as, “a society characterized by human misery as squalor, disease, and overcrowding”. In most cases, utopias turn into dystopias over time, and in reality, from the inside the people think everything is normal, but from the outside looking in, it is a terrible and dark place. In the novel 1984, the people in Oceania love the mysterious dictator they call, “Big Brother”. He and his party control the society and have brainwashed all of them. Due to the people growing up like that, they’ve grown to believe its normal. This utopia falls into a dystopia because “Big Brother”, and the government set specific rules, and restrictions for the society and controls everyone.…

    The dictionary definition of a utopian society is “any real or imaginary society, place, state, etc., considered to be perfect or ideal”. I have a proposal for a fictional utopian society that can create a perfect world. The name of this utopia is Neotopia. Neotopia is a worldwide concept that unites the world under one society. The problem our society has is that it is so disconnected and the different countries of the world don’t always get along. Neotopia has a very different view of government, laws, religion, education, and occupation that we are used to in our current society.…
