7. In his homework assigment, Gerald writes that he would rid the world of 3 things. What 3 things would you rid the world of? Stick
to concrete items, and back up your choices with personal reasons why you are eliminating them.
If I could rid the world of three things my first thing I would eliminate would be ketchup.I would get rid of it because I don't like it and there are always people around me eating it.It grosses me out.The second thing I would get rid of is catapillars. I have a strong fear of them because they are the only fuzzy bugs I've seen.In my opinion bugs shouldn't be fuzzy.The last thing I would rid the world of is skinny jeans.A lot of people wear them,but I think they're uncomfortable.I think I would be a lot happier if these things didnt exist.
10. Andy mentions that some kids at school haven't looked him in the face since the acident;one even taped a mean note to is locker. How would you treat Andy now? Elaborate.
I would treat Andy the same and probably offer him any help I could give him.I feel it wasn't only Andy's fault Rob died. They were all drinking.All but B.J. I would try to support Andy and the other guys that were involved in the accident. I would never do anything like tape a note to his locker just to make him feel worse about himself.
8. Neither of Andy's parents bother to show up for the game. How important is it for you that your parents turn out for the events in which you participate? Explain
It is very important to me that my parents come to my events.They always try to come to anything I am involved in.I can always count on them to be there cheering me on no matter what it is I'm doing.They always support me and that is important to me. I love and appricate them so much.
9. In Rob's absence, Andy becomes the star of the basketball team. Write about a time when your talents were overshadowed by a friend or a sibling. How did it make you feel? Did you wish that something would happen that would give you a chance to shine? Elaborate
Whenever my talents are overshadowed it makes me feel like I'm not good enough.I kind of like when that happens though because it makes me work harder.The only thing I wish would happen is that I would get better at whatever it is I'm being overshadowed at.Whenever I get my chance to shine it feels amazing.Everybody deserves there chance shine.
11.Does doing homework help you to perform better on tests? Does homework seem purposeful to you, or is it basically a waste of time? What alternate do you suggest? Defend your answer.
Doing homework sometimes helps me on tests.It helps me to remember important information.My house is normally a quiet place to study.Homework seems somewhat purposeful to me,but I wouldn't say i love it.I do not think it is a waste of time.Homework is the easiest way to study.
6. One Herald editorial says that statistics don't usually "mean much, but this statistic (Rob) had a name, face,..." Do you agree that it is hard to feel emotional about the statistics when you do not have a face to relate them to?
I agree it is hard to feel emotional about statistics without a face to relate them to.When you have a face to relate a tragedy to you would be more effected.Normally statistics don't mean much to me unless I know the people they are talking about.If you know the names of people it is easier to understand the statistics.
5. Although many people did cry, Rhonda did not cry after the accident occured; she was angry. When or if a public tragedy occurs and it is not someone in your immediate family (9/11/01), how do you respond? Explain
If a tragedy occured to somebody I know I would be sad.I might cry depending on how close I was to the person. Its hard to feel sad when I don't know the people that died.I didn't know anybody that died on 9/11/01 but some of my friends have loved ones who did.It makes me sad because they are my friends but I probably wouldn't cry.I feel bad when I think of the families of the people who did die on that day.It makes me grateful that I have my family.
16. Andy envisions that Monty will have a future as a lawyer or a doctor. But when he thinks of his own future, he sees a blank or darkness. Can you picture who you will be in 15 years? What do you envision for your future? In 15 years I hope to be out of culinary school and on my way to becoming a pastery chef. NOT DONE!!!!!
