How Mars Came To Be

Journey of Cooperation Through the Stars
(creation myth for English)
Long ago back when there were still people on Earth, and Mars was nothing but a red dot in the sky just waiting to be discovered. The people of earth had been trying to develop a way to live on Mars, back when the people of Earth had life on only one planet. A very wealthy and powerful man decided to fund the mission of the century, he would send 1,000 normal humans to the big red planet. It was the mission of the century, as the morning of the launch approached many people many people gathered to say goodbye to the 1,000 people boarding the ship.  As the ship launched legend says you could see Mars in the sky just as the ship took flight. As they flew through the sky through millions of stars and planets, legend says that they could see the spirits of the people who were going to live on mars for many years today. As they flew through the skies many arguments started to break out. Many people disagreed on how they should land the ship. Some wanted to land the ship upright, straight on Mars, while others wanted to hover over Mars for a few days to figure out the exact right way to land the ship. The problem being is if they waited to land the ship they could possibly loose fuel, making it impossible to land the ship at all. As they argued and argued a fight broke out, during the fight a man was thrown into the landing gear causing the gears to break. Stop! Yelled one of the captains. For the captain had realized what had happened. One of the legs that was supposed to land the ship had broken off. Many despaired that their mission was over along with their life, but the captain did not let them give up hope. Using the oxygen tanks as a leg they 1,000 constructed a new landing land, and safely landed the ship on Mars. Showing us that even 500 years ago if you work as a team you can accomplish things that you never thought possible.

Transformational Books

The Handmaidens Tale is a transformational book for me. It shows how quickly the government could become something that controls people’s personal lives, including how they reproduce. The government in The Handmaiden’s Tale is so controlling that they even change the main characters name to Offred. Offred means “Of Fred”, the man of the household Offred is a slave in.This book is transformational because it made me realize that this could possibly happen in the future. It’s scary but I think it’s good that I read it because it made me think about the future differently.

The Museum of Tolerance: A Day that Changed Perspectives “Let us not forget, after all, that there is always a moment when the moral choice is made. Often because of one story or one book or one person, we are able to make a different choice, a choice for humanity, for life.” A quote by Elie Wiesel. In the past few months a lot has happened, to influence my choices as a person. We as a nation have gained a new president, Donald Trump. A person who I personally would never aspire to be anything like nor replicate any of his actions. Another thing that happened, I was diagnosed with Lyme disease, not really a big deal in the scheme of things, but was a pretty big deal for me. Then there was Febuary tenth about two weeks ago when everything was really put into perspective. Our teacher announced where we were going a few days before the trip. She explained that we would be taking a fieldtrip to the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. She told us it would be a hard day, but I had no...

Creative Writing for Class

Dear President Taylor, I am writing to you today because I am currently a slave, and I can easily tell you that life as a slave is not at all easy. As we as a country expand westward I strongly believe that the territories that we decide to inhabit should be free states, giving slaves like me rights, and land. As we have just won California and Texas from the Mexicans I believe that both should be free states, and I believe that The compromise of 1850 is unfair. Because the slave laws are too harsh the fact that we can be brought back to the slave state and forced to work again is completely unfair. I believe that the compromise should be rethought and drawn up again. Thank you for you consideration Sincerely, Thomas Johnson
