My Great Grandfather

     A few days ago my dad and I had a conversation about English. It was just about how I liked it and how I was doing. I told him I liked the class and i'm doing ok in it. He then remembered something that his grandfather wrote. He wouldn't tell mewhat it was until I got home from baseball. After my practice we got home and my dad pulled out a very old, or at least it looked like, a year book. I opened it and it was a naval academy biographical year book. It had every cadets name along with a little biography about them. My dad said to find my great grandfather in the index, so I looked and found it, "Hartt W. H. Jr." William H Hartt Jr. on page 221. I fliped to the page and found that on his biography a whole bunch of his good academic record and stuff. I didn't find anything really interesting until my dad pointed something out. It said close to, "He had very few violent outbreaks but the few were with the Academic department..." My dad said he fought in english to sustain a passing grade. Knowing the history in my family, my dad never liked english, my grandfather never really liked english, and my great grandfather never really liked english makes me wonder why i'm the oddball out?

Fingerprints

     Fingerprints really define a person, they show where you have been, what you have done, how you have changed. They show your entine past. All in 10 little digits. That is what books can do, show your past and how you have changed. The books you have read and liked show your personality. They show what to expect in the future. Way more than any fingerprint could tell you.
     It would be interesting if police offices took your background of books you've read instead of what your fingerprint looks like on paper. It could be much more effective because you can cover up your finger prints with a glove but you cannot easily cover up the type of genres you like. They would put you in a room full of a whole ton of books and let you read. If you read the same books as others than you would be guilty. Some people say that that wouldnt work, you could fool the system. You couldn't. You can change your looks, but you cannot change what you like.

Just food for thought

Columns

     I believe that I am goin to enjoy this next unit of columns. Writing them are going to be a lot of fun. It will be intriguing to see what everyone will show up with on monday... Hopefully

     My idea came from how some websites require ridiculous passwords.

     Like some sites require you to contain in your password 12 characters, 4 capitol letters, 3 numbers, and your left foot.

What my column will be about is how God named our planet. It will be God using a modern day password system to attempt to name our planet. It will be with a point of view of humor. I am curious to know if everyone else will be choosing humor or will it just be a few?

Will people describe a funny past time they had? Or will some people go with the devils dictionary? Eitherway it will be fun to see what people will come up with!

My Experience With the Divergent Series

     Over spring break I had nothing other to do than read and go on the beach, so i went on the beach my fair share, but I mainly read. I read Divertgent, Insurgent, and planned on reading Alligence but did not have time.
      I personally thought that the books were great, they were a really inresting version of the faction system, and dystopian society. They were a great read but I wanted to discuss my thoughts on why it was made. I'm sure it will be answered in the third book but its always good to share your ideas. I thought that it was created because the rest of society was failing and they needed a fall back. In the last few pages of the second book they stated the Mrs. Prior, Tris's mom, was one of the people who helped create the faction system and used to be on the outside. Let's stop and talk about her for a minute, she showed serious signs of dauntless background but she cleary wasn't because she came from the outside. Where did she get her training, and where was she from originally? Enough getting off topic, back to my thoughts. It must have been created recently because Mrs. Prior was fairly elderly when they created the place, and they must have "Brainwashed" everyone in it to forget their old ways. Maybe they are all in a simulation? Probably not. I do wonder if the older place had more advanced technology and they set themselves back? I guess i'll find out soon when I finish Alligence.
