My Last Book in the Universe

If you were “The Last Book in the Universe” what message would you leave behind? If I was the last book in the universe I would leave the message that gays should NOT rule world and that Obama was the worst president in the whole world. And that people should not criticize other people. We are all human so give everybody some respect man and respect Bob Marley. Let people do their own thing it’s their life let them live it like they want and should. Elect good presidents so the economy does not go bad like it is today.

What you guys in the future should do is build a monument of me. And name it Brad Hancock after me. And worship me as some god or something. Do something with your lives instead of sitting on your fat sweaty butt watching television. Go out and ride a quad or go swimming or exploring go on an Adventure and a half because those are really fun or just go play basketball with friends.

Go and skateboard learn how to do more tricks and stuff. Don’t give up on life just go till it ends because you never know it could end tomorrow so do something and make a difference in the world. Don’t let what other people say get to you and bring you down just be the bigger man and ignore it so you don’t start any problems with people. Only trust the people you care about and you know you can trust don’t just give out your trust or it can end really badly because people can betray you and you will get really pissed and kill some one which you don’t want to do or you will go to jail.

The Story I Once Knew

I once lived a life as a happy child who lived with her family at home. Growing up I started getting into trouble. I got suspended for the first time in elementary school for fighting and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I knew then that that was the life I wanted to live. I started skipping school and talking back to my parents. When my parents divorced I went down heel really bad. I started to hang out with gangs, and using drugs. When I turned thirteen I got into the system and ever since I’ve been in and out of group homes, detention facilities, and Procter homes.

I would want to let the future know how you have to make the best of life because one day it will end and you won’t have anything. And yes times do get hard and you have to learn how to deal with them in order to get by. That it is ok to mess up just learn from the mistakes you make. We have all gone through a lot so we know what its like to feel lonely, mad, frustrated, happy, and sad.

The message I would want to send is “get mad whatever you want to do, cry a river build a bridge and get over it’’ because if you cant do that you wont go any where in life. And always remember that “someone always has it worse then you. Appreciate life and live it to the fullest, put effort into \what you do and try to be as happy as you can.

The story I once knew was that I cried and I complained about how life was so unfair but hey! they told me “this is not burger king you cant have it your way.’’ And so I learned to get over it.

Life Behind Death

I would leave several messages behind with me. I would leave my kids with good stories to tell other people about how my life was when I was alive. I would also let them know the things I have been through in my life time and how they can learn from my mistakes. I will tell them how it wasn’t easy and if they listened to one thing I would tell them how worth wild it was when I fixed the mistakes I had made. Then I would leave behind videos and stuff that reminded me about my past and what they meant to me in life.

The story I would be about my life and the good and the bad things that happened in it. Such as when I was younger my family wasn’t always there for me but then again I still had a really good life but that was because of how I wanted it to be. Such as I grew up doing drugs from when I was a child and didn’t care what people thought when I was doing them because I had that thought that I was having a really good life at the time. I would tell them that it wasn’t worth going trough all those drugs because I wasn’t able to learn because I was to happy being high to care what people wanted to say or wanted me to do.

I would want them to know I was a really good person with a lot of mistakes and I didn’t care what people think of me. I would also tell them that the new technologies that has been made isn’t going to last for ever and that even though you think you need all that technologies doesn’t make the world go round. To me it’s having an imagination, being happy, and learning new things to tell other people is what makes the world go round. What you do later on in life is you own way of turning the world round.

Last Book in the Universe

If I was the last book in the universe I would talk about my life and how I lived and also the things I did for other people which this is the message that I would leave behind I would say that make sure when you vote if you vote to think about what the president before that had the same take to things as the person you might be voting for I would say make sure you live your life’s to the very fullest I would tell them that life is a gift and not a given right and that they should have no fears for things they want to do I would tell them to never forget Bob Marley or the reggae way of life that given cultures are to be cherished and also traditions they are not only to be cherished but also to be handed down a kept alive mainly because those cultures are they of living they are the things that we have lived by they are where we come from and with out those cultures traditions then we are nothing we would not be here if it was not for those ancestors we would not be here today in fact we would be worthless we need to keep those traditions and also cultures alive I think if I could leave anything behind it would be follow your heart not just your smart to prevent from being

What I Think a Hero is

I think that there are heros every day. There are people who help others no matter their color or gender, or how they are. A hero in my eyes is someone who never chooses themselves over anyone else. They wouldn’t talk crap on anyone, and accept anyone as one of them. They stand up for what they think is right even though everyone may criticize them, and make fun of them. They would know every situation and feeling people are going through so they would know how to help them. But the people who are heros everyday are people like firefighters, soldiers, or even people who wake you up in the morning because you were going to be late for a meeting. Stuff like that is cool how people do those things not just because they like the glory or the reward, but because they care about the other person. They care even though they are complete strangers. I think those people are true heros.

I think my old foster parents were heros to me because even though they had so many kids and foster kids, that they took me in. I was suprized how nice they were to me and my other foster brothers. But to other people, one’s hero might not be a hero to them. Everyones heros are all probably different. Somebody might have a basketball player as their hero, or an actor. But I guess all heros are kind of the same I think, because they all help or do something that inspires someone. Like superman or any other superhero, they all do something that helps everyone, not just one person. They help more people than any normal person, and they don’t give away their identities. Or a ruler like a president. Maybe the people Hitler commanded thought he was a hero. Those are some examples in my opinion are why everyones heros are different than each others. That is what I think a hero is.

Peeta's Story

Well I think that Peeta wants to tell Katniss that he wants someone to know before he dies and Peeta doesn’t want the people to know change him because I think that he wants his family and friends to know who he is still an how the people who are involve in the game there are changing people in the game but they don’t tell people who signs up for the game that they slowly starting to change them when there in training but Peeta does not want to change at all and I think he’s knows that there gonna change him I think it’s like a boot camp and it sounds like it to me so yeah

Heros of Life

What makes a hero to me? In my opinion a hero is some one who will help others when needed most and even when they don’t he/or she will help for nothing in returned and wont brag or tell any one he/or she will know in there hearts that they did good in a new persons or old persons life also they know they did something good which makes them wanna do more to help others.

Which character in the book do I think is the real hero? In my opinion I think the real hero would be Charley because he sent the latch runner to tell Spaz that bean was dying and if it wasn’t for him Spaz wouldn’t have come up with the plan to go see her and help bean get better or at least try to help.

I think he is more of a hero then the others because even though he told Spaz to leave the family he still cared to tell him that bean was dying so id say he is a hero because he’s forgiving and he cares for people even if he told Spaz to leave he is also a hero because he would do a lot to make someone happy

My Heros

I think what makes a hero is courage because if you’re a hero and you are scared of everything then you can’t really be a hero because you have to be brave and stand up for what you believe in. Being a hero isn’t just helping the world and saving everyone’s life, it’s like charity, you help someone without expecting anything back from the person you help.

Which character in the book do you think is the real hero? I think that Charley is the real hero because he sent for the runner to tell Spaz that bean was dying so that he can see her one last time before she dies even though Charley doesn’t really like Spaz0 and didn’t want him to see her he did it for his daughter because he loves her so that would be my hero for the book.

Well the other characters are heroes kind of because they helped Spaz get to his sister but I think that charley is the real hero because of what he did and yes the other characters were helping Spaz but I don’t think it was the same because they wanted to help but Charley was afraid, he didn’t want Spaz to see Bean but he sent for a runner so that he could see her because it wouldn’t be fair if he couldn’t see her before she died.

Ben my Brother

What makes a person a hero to you? What makes a person a hero to me is that they can keep on digging their holes deeper and deeper but they can always find a way and get the strength to get out of that hole. A hero to me is a positive role model like my big brother Ben he used to look at bad stuff on the computer but he found the strength to get out from those things and do what he knows is right.

My brother is my hero because he has set the perfect example to me he respects women they way they are supposed to be treated he hasn’t got to serious with anyone because he knew his mission was coming up fast so he didn’t steady date just so he could stay on track and actually be righteous enough to go on a mission. Now he is on his mission and I miss him but I wish I would have followed in his foot steps because now I’m locked up and I don’t get to talk to him which sucks because I really like my brother.

My brother is a perfect example of a hero because he would always help my sister with her kids so she could go to work he was always joking around and laughing but all his jokes were appropriate and that influenced me strongly because it made me realize that you can tell funny jokes without them having swear words in it or have any inappropriate things in it he was always making everyone laugh. So that’s why I consider my brother a hero because he actually could quit his old ways and earn his place to go on a mission which is really cool he went to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and he is learning the Spanish language which will be awesome when he talks in it.

Mighty Brother

One way to describe my older brother. My older brother was nice, respectful, and honest and he had lots of pride in him self. my brother was gang affiliated, butt it still did not make my brother a bad person. The reason why I looked up to my older brother was because he was always self confidence about him self in the things he did and did not let any thing stop him from being who he wanted to be. One of the persons who I think is a hero? Would be spaz. And here are my reasons. He’s very brave, smart, loving and will not give up and will do what’s so ever he needs to do so can save his sister bean and for him to do all that’s what’s he’s doing just to see his sister is very amazing. The reasons who I choose spaz over the rest of the other characters. Would kind of jst say there’s nothing we can do ,there not that brave ,not so smart and I just don’t know why I just like spaz and there are my reasons why I think he’s the real hero in the book and also he’s going to do what ever it takes him to save his sister and I think that’s really cool and brave of him. So he can just be with his sister and to read her a story… the end

The Heros in Me

A hero to me is someone who has integrity as well as a strong belief in themselves and those around them. A hero for me is my grandma because even though she’s been through a lot she still stands strong. All her kids including my mom went down hill so fast that it almost looked like it didn’t hit my grandma, but it did.

In the book to me Ryter, is the real hero because Again he had a strong belief in Spaz, and even though spaz, ripped him off he still liked spaz and he saw potential in him. He put up with everything and although he knew he was going to get wheeled (die) he still made the best out of life. Ryter, reminds me of someone I want to be. I want to stick up for what is right and live an adventure and have fun doing the right things before I die.

The other characters were heroes to, because Spaz, never gave up. He wanted to see Bean. To get what he wanted he went through some dangerous stuff. He did everything he could do to get to his little sister. Lanaya didn’t want to be like the other proves so she wanted to help the normal’s. She did what she wanted to do, because she believed in herself. Even though they are all heroes, I think Ryter is still the real hero, he knew what was going to happen to him and he still lived in adventure.

These heroes are amazing and it might only be a story, but to me it was a taste into reality. These heroes I have and keep on my mind , and I often hear my self saying there names and this is why I call them “The Heroes In Me.’’

Opinion or Fact

To me what makes a hero is a person that reaches out to get help and is willing to be happy and help. Also I don’t think that a hero has to be better, stronger, and faster than anyone else. To me a leader can be there self and be a hero for some one else. A hero is someone a person can look up to. I like heroes to me it is someone who can be there self and still have those people around them look up to them.

For example if I had to choose a person in the book that is to be the leader it would have to be the little girl bean. For you people reading the hunger games this is a girl who is sick with leukemia. She has been separated from her brother Spaz for years and now she has sent out for her brother and he is now coming for her. So that is a little bit of what is going on in the book.

I chose bean at the character of the hero because all of the characters in the book live day to day on there own life like everything. I see that bean is the hero because she calls out for people and she is very inspirational. Because she called out for her brother and he left as soon as he could. His brother goes through all the trouble to go and save her sister. He ends up getting to his sister and she is sick and they think that she was going to die and then they had the idea of improving her. Improving in the book is like giving medicine to that sick girl. To me I think that she must have some power because if she can get people to do every thing they can to find a cure means something. Plus like I said earlier I don’t think it takes a better person than any one else to be a hero all I takes is someone to look up to that person.

How I think this character is the leader over them is that the Proovs aren’t suppose to care about the normals and that’s what Bean and Spaz is. So how I see it is if a proov goes out of her way to help Bean clearly shows that she is a hero with out knowing it. That is what I think now lets hear what you think.

What Makes a Person a Hero?

A hero to me is someone who helps to do what is right supports you in all the right ways lifts you up when you are down, and give you advice when you need it most will take the time to listen to you when you need to talk to someone for example my grandfather would always convince me when I wanted to give up on something to try again and every time he would do that I wouldn’t want to give up anymore in fact I would want it more than did before

The character in the book that I think is the real hero is Ryter there are many reasons that Ryter is the hero in the book to me but the main reasons because when they first began their adventer Spaz said that Ryter wouldn’t be able to keep up but Ryter did not just keep up he pushed Spaz to keep going and also when Spaz felt like giving up Ryter would give him reason to not give up and keep moving forward

The way Ryter would talk to everyone else and how he showed the care that he had for people he did not even know how he had risked his own life just to save Lanaya from the angery mod that were trying to get her off the takvee and when he saved Spaz when he had his attack was so kind and the fact that he did not have to save Spaz

Fate

"Fate do your work. We human beings don’t control our own destinies. What is fated to happen must happen. So let it happen!"

I personally agree with this quote. Simply, because this is coming from a person who dose not put their purse in the ground. You chose the decisions you make but with them there are consequences and they can be good or bad. And I think that’s where faith and destiny come in because it was meant to happen. Aren’t we all born to die? That’s destiny, and everything within that. Our lives are set and God knows everything that will happen to all of us. Some people say “life is like a book, you’re writing it as you go” and that not true! Our lives are already written.

An example, the biggest thing you see is when you’re dating someone and it’s not working out but you try so hard to make it work. He tries to change, she tries to change but it still doesn’t work out, because it just wasn’t meant to be! But if you aren’t very good at dating think about like this when you want to win a race so you train so hard and work your butt off to win but you lose. It’s the same concept.

Try to understand that not because you don’t want to happen to you, it won’t happen to you, because if it’s in your destiny it will happen to you. What it’s meant to be will eventually be. Because you can try so hard and you loose it all, but in the end it doesn’t even matter.

Fate is a big part of you’re life weather you want to accept it or not. You can’t try to avoid it and change it but you destiny is written in pen you can erase it its there to follow you. It’s your background. I believe that fate is true and that’s why things happen to all of us.

Fate

‘’Fate do your work. We human beings don’t control our own destinies. What is fated to happen must happen. So let it happen!’’


I agree on this quote mainly because so many people, including me, worry a lot on what will happen tomarrow and the next day and so on. We don’t live today, and were not here when we think about other days than today. That is something I need to work on, living in the moment . I don’t know if I believe in fate or destiny though. But I believe in the last part of the quote, ‘’So let it happen.’’ You don’t have that much control on certain stuff. So why waste so much energy and stress on something you cannot change? But I am one to talk, right? It’s hard because you automatically do it. But I guess if you learn to control your thoughts and think I don’t want to worry about it, it should help. Some people think that we all have certain spot in life. That it is destined and cannot be evoided. I don’t really know if I believe that either. I think it is true if you believe that it is true. Something exists only if you believe and know it is real. But that is what I believe, and people probably don’t believe me. So that is probably how it is with the fate/destiny thing on my point of view.

I think that you can control certain stuff in your life that are more longer in life, than stuff like, I want to get that job that I just applied for and had an interview with. Or I just got caught with something and I have to see how my punishment comes out. But the stuff that are like getting school done so I can be a doctor and go to college is up to you. So that is just my opinion on the quote above.

Beauty

"But oh, what a deceiver he turned out to be! Only really cruel people can be called deformed. Virtue is beauty, but someone beautiful and wicked is like an empty box decorated by the devil."

I think that some people can be really pretty on the outside when you first see them you think they are really friendly but when you tell someone that they look cool to talk to but the person you think that’s cool there not really a good friend to hang out with and that person can talk behind your back

But some people can be ugly on the outside but they are friendly also pretty to so it does not matter if there not pretty on the outside and all it matters about there personality.

The Beauty

" But oh, what a deceiver he turned out to be! Only really cruel people can be called deformed. Virtue is beauty, but someone beautiful and wicked is like an empty box decorated by the devil."

A lot of the meaning in the sentence is true like beauty is not only in just being pretty on the outside and you can also be as pretty and beautiful on the inside, lots of people focuses on the beauty on the out when the inside is on the inside and they don’t realize pretty girls can be pretty on the out but in the inside they can be bitter and mean on the inside and some can be both. The people who try to find beauty they never seem to notice what’s on the in they want a person that people want but the real to that situation is you can have a person that everyone wants but not for what’s on the out side, so in my words people need to focus on why they want beauty and how an they get it that’s on the inside and outside if they want.

Fate

"Fate do your work. We human beings don’t control our own destinies. What is fated to happen must happen. So let it happen!"

I think that fate is not predetermined sometimes thing you don’t want to happen end up happening even though you didn’t think they would you make the path that you walk the choices you make set what you live with it those choices carve you way through live that how your fate is determined it’s the choices you make through your life determine how thing play out


The deceiver within


" But oh, what a deceiver he turned out to be! Only really cruel people can be called deformed. Virtue is beauty, but someone beautiful and wicked is like an empty box decorated by the devil."

In think that everyone has there bad side inside of them although there certain things that will bring that out in a person like having someone hurt you so bad that you would not take the chance again with anyone or they will have certain behaviors that will suggest that they had problem with those kind of things before

Fate

Fate do your work. We human beings don’t control our own destinies. What is fated to happen must happen. So let it happen!

Fate is that of the essence, it’s all reality. We live, we breathe, we eat, we love, we cry, and then we die. It’s who we are. We don’t choose our lives, we don’t choose what happens. We live we die simple. Life will be great at some times of your life. Life will be stress full at other times. I feel that no matter how hard we try were always stuck in this life till we die. There isn’t a higher power there isn’t a “choose your own way”. There isn’t an easy way or hard. We are not free spirit. We are what ever we do we cant play “God”. We live then we die. All the religions today are all false. There is no “God”. We find pleasure when were on a stable part of our life only by fate. Fate is a lot like love you cant control it. You meet someone special and then you fall in love you cant choose it, it just happens. So is fate real that’s your decision ill stick with mine and say yes but no. Simply short and sweet. Its simple we feel what we feel, we believe what we belive, we do what we want.

Beauty Doesn’t Matter How You Look!

"But oh, what a deceiver he turned out to be! Only really cruel people can be called deformed. Virtue is beauty, but someone beautiful and wicked is like an empty box decorated by the devil."

My Opinion to this is that beauty doesn’t matter how you look. There are guys that think because the girl is mean that they are ugly. I don’t think people should call anybody deformed just because they are cruel. I think that girls, who are cocky, conceited are the one’s who are rude because they think they are better then anyone else.

I think that theirs girls who try to be like other girls because they are pretty and are popular. I think the girls that are like that have the nastiest attitude. People sometimes make fun of the people who are really ugly but I think you should get to know a person before you say mean things about them because it don’t matter if their ugly there attitude and how they act makes them be cute.

Just because you’re beautiful on the outside doesn’t mean you have the true beauty inside. I don’t agree with this quote. I know someone who is beautiful in the inside but on the outside there really cruel. This person is so fine but they have the nastiest attitude. They are so disrespectful to girls and call girls dirty names just because they are ugly or they hear things about them.

I don’t think a girl or a boy should be disrespected by any way just because they are ugly, because ugly people make them self look beautiful for by the way they are, the way they act. There’s a lot of people I know that are beautiful from the inside and outside those are the people you should respect, and either way respect the people who are beautiful in the inside and nasty on the outs because it don’t matter about anything beauty is in anyone.
