Not Such a Happy Ending

Not Such A Happy Ending
By xX illegal G Xx

In the town of Verona there were two families with unrepairable differences and an unforgiving rivalry. Heinous crimes that leave blood in the streets of Verona and make the innocent criminals. Two young lovers are held within the boundaries that are their family’s rivalries, how ever they were determined not to let that stop them from being happy together. No matter what it took they just could not be apart, they would secretly meet and even were married without anyone noticing. But a Happy ending was not in the story for this pair, only a sad and tragic death and suicide case. Maybe this is the unfortunate wake up call that both sides of this war needed to come to the realization that their fighting is wrong and should stop.

Romeo is the young son of Montague and Lady Montague. He falls deep in love with Juliet after meeting her at a rival Capulet’s party. He is very dedicated to Juliet to the point of were even getting banished from Verona would not get in his way. To him and Juliet it makes no difference what their last names are but that is not the case with Romeo and Tybalt. Tybalt hates Romeo because he is a Montague and he crashed the Capulet party. Tybalt’s fate comes about when a brawl that leaves both Tybalt and Mercutio, Romeo’s best friend, dead.

My Views On Euthanasia

After reading both articles and the book "Of Mice and Men" my views on euthanasia have changed. At first i was morally against it because really what gave others the right to make the decision on whether a person gets to live or not not? Especially when often times its purely about money, having to pay for life support. How ever there are cases in which while i don't think its the right thing to do, as morose as this may sound it may be "whats best". While i do believe in being optimistic or hope full, euthanasia may be the best choice in a false hope situation. Such as in a case where there is no chance of the victim coming out of a mollified vegetative state. As well as in a situation where the victim themselves have a reliable source that reluctantly states that it would be against their wishes to be kept alive on life support, it is their wish and i think it should be granted. How ever i think that unless it is a zero chance situation of a person being nurtured back to health, euthanasia or mercy killing is another story. Such as in the case when the anguished father and mother both lost their jobs and thought that with the badly shaped economy, they would not have been able to support their family, so they took it upon them selves to imperiously end their lives and that of their family. I see that as horrible parenting and just a huge mistake in itself. There are foundations and organizations that can help in those type of situations as well as the government.

1. A) - From George's perspective, I think that the reason for him euthanizing Lennie was because he would rather put his friend down as quickly and painlessly as possible. While yes some may say it was cruel or wrong, you have to take everything into consideration such as the way he did it, George had Lennie face away and and Lennie did not know what drastic fate awaited him. Not only that but George was kind to Lennie, even though Lennie expected that George would "give him hell" and be mad so that was what worried Lennie the most. How ever George was kind to him and talked to him about thier dream of having thier own place and tending rabbits.

B) - I think that this was the best for Lennie because if Curly would have gotten to him a surely worse fate would have come to him. Curly would have wanted to do more physical harm and more punishment to Lennie. As well as frighten and humiliate him. Although Lennie's fate was decided that he was to be put down, George doing it was more humane than anything Curly could have done.

2. A) -

South Park LoTF

1.a) Ralph [Stan Marsh

1b) I picked Stan to be Ralph because on the adventures of life that often encounter him and his friends he is almost always the first to take the leadership role. Gets along great with everyone, except Eric Cartman which is one of his good friends..even though he really hates him. Just as Jack and Ralph can not really coexist with one another, but still manage to not kill each other, sorta.When it comes to Stan and Butters (Ralph and Piggy) they are some what on good terms being atleast decent human beings although even Stan is quick to get annoyed by Butters. When it somes to the "Beast" (Al Gore/ManBearPig) Stan simply believes its dumb and pointless.

2.a) Jack [Eric Cartman]

2b) Eric Cartman is not an everyday normal child. The only normal thing about him seems to be that he is 9 years old and a 4th grader. Other than that he is anything but ordinary and not in a good way. He was raised by a single mother and abandoned by father after being concieved. Cartman reminds me of Jack in that both are complete sick, twisted, maniacal, savages. Cartman how ever takes it to an extreme level going so far as to plot whole conspiracies to get even with someone. Although he does hang out with a group of friends in reality none of them like him what so ever. He especially has hatred towards Butters and Kenny. Just as Jack has something against Piggy. Cartman is always picking on Kenny due to Kenny being subject to poverty. As is the situation with Jack and Piggy with a different scenario as is Piggy not being as fit as the rest of the boys. If they were all in the same situation i KNOW Eric Cartman would resort to the same measures as Jack and his Hunters if not worse. (i.e. cannabalism, torture, ect.)

3.a) Piggy [Butters Stotch]

3b) I picked Butters to be Piggy for several reasons..like he hangs around with the group of boys, at times...when they will let him. He is often the huge subject of teasing, bullying, and humiliation. He gets along ok with some boys, just as long as he stays quiet. I think he would play Piggy well because they share many traits such as not being as popular with all they boys as they might hope to be, being a well rounded good natured boy, and having to resort to recieving pitty at times. If not scared or confused he is often being picked on and ridiculed by pretty much everyone even people that may act friendly towards him at times. Very much the same as Piggy and Ralph.

4.a) Simon [Kenny McCormick]

4b) I picked Kenny to play the role of Simon simply because he is always dying. At times being killed horribly such as Simon. He may also fall pray to something of false nature such as hallucinations. He is good friends with Stan and on not so much good terms with Cartman. I feel as if no one could play Simon better, as this role was made for Kenny for the simple fact that he has been killed about 79 times in the series of South Park.

5.a) Roger [Damien]

5b) I picked Damien to be Roger for one main reason. He is the son of Lucifer and is the one boy most likely to kill someone. The way Roger killed Piggy i think he'd have to atleast compare to Damien. Damien is also the only character i nthe series to use his powers to change someone (Kenny) into a duck billed platupus.
Another reason i would cast Damien as Roger in my LoTF is because he is simply just as unlikeable as the real Roger.

6.a) Beast [Al Gore/ManBearPig]

7.a) They are stuck on a bus about to go over the edge of a cliff

7b) Things I would change..

1. They are stuck on a bus and they can not leave or it will tip over.

2. They are not fighting over specs but cheesy poofs

3. Instead of a shell, the puppet, Mr Hat takes the role of the conch

8.) I would atleast change the title to

South Park Lord of the Flies, simply to credit

the source of my story and my cast.

Hiroshima

1. In this picture I see civilians in Hiroshima, Japan living their normal everyday lives as if nothing was wrong. I see people that were stuck in the middle of a horrible war and were in a very unnecessary position. I also see people that are about to face a devastating tragedy. I see no hope left for this place.

2. In this picture I see the immense destruction and power of the atomic bomb that was dropped on japan. The city lies in ruins to what was once Hiroshima, Japan but now is not much but fire, ash, and rubble. All the natives to this place and all they worked for their whole lives is literally up in smoke now. I do not see a victory for the United States of America..I see the loss of Japan. No victory just a loss.

Pro-Life

1. In my opinion I am pro-life and against abortion, because i do see it as morally wrong to take the life from a child. Not only that but I believe that a fetus should have a chance to experience life, sure life has its ups and downs, and the child may not have the "perfect" life and may even have a rough life but i think it simply isn't fair to not give the child a chance to try and make it and become something in this world. Aside from all that how any person could agree to the "murder" of a fetus whether it be a woman who is not ready to be a mother or a man that is not enough of a man to take responsibility for his actions and could encourage a woman into getting an abortion i see it as just plain wrong.

2."death is a bad thing because it deprives people of all the experiences, activities, enjoyments, projects that would make up their future personal life" -Don Marquis Philosopher

3. In this quote the Philosopher Don Marquis states how death, is not good at all. Because it takes away chance from people. It takes away the chance to have lived a good life. It takes away any chance of taking part in any activities or expiriences that may have made any difference. It also states that death takes away all those things that would have contributed to a person's personal life.

This May Await

2)This picture shows several fire fighters trying to calm down the fire, that is taking up most of a 290-room hotel. This is the Marriott hotel with a huge blaze after a bombing in Islamabad that occurred last Saturday September 20, 2008.

3)This picture presents to me the bad and corrupt side of human beings full of hostility, anger, and lack of remorse or compassion for human life. But at the same time it presents to me the good side of human nature. These firemen are not being forced to fight these fires, they choose to be out there risking their own life for the safety and well-being of others.

4)The only way that I can see this picture relate to my life is that when i grow up more than anything I want to be a firefighter. I want to do it even though it goes against most of my families concerns, because I truly believe that as long as I am able to help other people I will be willing to risk my life for people in need. I think this way because I put myself in their shows trapped and not being able to do anything then I think back to my position and I want to be the person that can and does save them. Many people in my family strongly oppose it because they would rather me not risk my life and I try my best to get them to understand but they are very stubborn and hard-headed when it comes to that. Although luckily i do get support from a few people such as friends, and my girlfriend even though they do not completely support it they understand, accept, and respect my decision. So I do believe I can relate to this because if something like this happens then i might be put in this position alongside others helping out in a major catastrophic event.
