Time Machine

If my time machine would work, the first thing I would do is go back in time and live a life in the past. Then I would go to the future, and I would live a life in the future. Then I would go back in time and try to prevent bad things from happening. For example: “The Twin Towers,” and WW1/WW2. I would also try to prevent bad things from happening in the future. I would also go back in time and I would try to win the lottery so I could become a wealthy man. I would find a girl so that I can enjoy my life.

Learning

My brother was outside trying to get engine started. I was just sitting down doing nothing when I decided to check out what he was doing. As I was walking with my mind full of thoughts I began to hear the engine louder and louder, every step I took, I would hear “rooooom rooooom!!!!” and then a big choke at the end. When I got there I saw a lot of smoke coming out of the car. Then I asked him “What are you doing?” And he responded, “I’m just trying to get this thing started.” And he continued to pull start the engine, and as he was doing that he was explaining to me what he was going to do next, so finally he realized that what he was doing wasn’t really working, so he began to take apart the carburetor and he was showing me how to clean it and unclog it. He grabbed a bottle of WD40 and sprayed it on the carburetor. As he was spraying it, a bunch of oil and rock started to come out. He told me that the rocks wouldn’t allow the gas line to suck up gas and that was the reason why the engine wouldn’t stay on, so after a while, we finished cleaning it and we put it back together, then we pulled started the engine one more time and on the first pull the engine turned on and stayed on. That day I learned how to clean a carburetor. So later on when I own my own engine and I have the same problem, I can fix it my self.

After drinking that she still felt a thirst in her, so she began to look for more things around the coffin and she found a note that said “Rub the Pepsi bottle,” so she did. She rubbed and rubbed and finally the Pepsi genie came out and said “I will grant u one wish so you must use it wisely” the princess did not hesitate she just said give me another Pepsi just like this one so the genie granted her wish and disappeared.

What really stroked me was the fact that the decided out of no were to start growing their own fruits and vegetables, and how they were successful in doing it. It was also cool how the lady learned to adapt and use these herbs to make Delicious food.

This relates to My Ishmael because the main theme of Ishmael is living more sustainable. and this whole video shows and talk about living a sustainable life and how it is possible to live sustainability.

I think this family made a great choice on living sustainably. its not only healthy for them but it is also healthy for the your community and by seeing this video you learn that you can also use home grown herbs to make delicious foods

Erratic Retaliation

Anthropomorphism:
1.) An interpretation of what is not human or personal in terms of human or personal characteristics

2.) The attribution of human motivation, characteristics, or behavior to nonhuman organisms or inanimate objects.

Ishmael Mainly refers on claiming territory on page (82) . he talks about how animals are becoming similar to humans. they fight for their territory and don't stop no matter what. they either protect it or die doing it. He talks about the relation we have with animals and how now they are doing similar things we do.

This I Belive Response

Christian McBride sends a strong message about life now in days. how people are so stressed now and are so aggressive. He gives examples like people always using computers at star bucks and to people wanting to kill you for almost hitting their car on the freeway. he also explains that he has his melt downs but they are not worth it sometimes. i think that he talks about a very strong topic and he is absolutely right press HERE to read his "I Believe"

Ecological Intelligence

1.) Ecological intelligence is knowing how bad your carbon foot print is but, making a difference and helping our enviorment the the world be a better place.

2.) This relates with our essential questions because they both have to do with living in a better and more sustainable life.

3.) My ecological intelligence is average i guess you can say its normal. although i know whats good and bad for our enviorment i still use things that affect us all. most chemicals we use to clean are toxic or affect us in some way. i think i can help our world by reducing the use of water or by using cleaning chemicals that are non toxic Ecological Intelligence
