Lottery vs T.P.O.I.

In both of the short stories there are examples of how people are denied help because they are protecting their personal intrestfor. For example, in "The lottery" just before Mrs. Hutchinson is stoned she is disputing that it was not fair but nobody helped and in "The Perils of Indifferance" a ship is turned away by the president that is depicted to have a huge heart. In "The Lottery" Mr. Summers says to stay with tridition beacuse he says it is the right thing to do and in "The Perils of Indifferance" it is depicted that Hitler says to kill the jews because it is the right thing to do. Both of these stories have Many connections these are just two that i discovered and are very true in every day life.

uhhhh.....

I am supposed to write about anything so I'm gunna write about the song I'm listening to.I am listening to "Blow Me Away" by breaking Benjamin it is a rather loud song with lots of short electric guitar solos. I was told that it was played in the video game Halo 2 on beaver creek formally known as battle creek in Halo Combat Evolved. I personally have never heard this song during the game so i cant verify its playing in the game so because i don't have anything else to type about in gunna end it there.

Superpowers

If I had a superpower it would be to be able to create things out of thin air. With this power I would never run out of money, or fun things to do. I would use this power to my advantage to outrun the cops and travelling to distant places all for my enjoyment. I would be able to get away with pretty much anything I wanted to do. The first thing i would create is my own spaceship to fly to the moon and claim it as my personal property. I would then make it a huge fortress and take over the world. Then I would reinstate the paddle in all prisons because death is too easy and just making them sit in jail is just a very long boring vacation. After that i would make all counties have the same ammount of money and free medical care. Lastly I would make all the idiot drivers walk with no chance of driving so much as an electric scooter cuz im tired of being hit on my bike.

Top three

My top three things are country, rap, and screamo. All three of these music genres express different views, feelings and opinoions but some are harder to decifer than others.

Beer for my horses, The way I am, Waking the deamon

1> For my first explination in beer for my horses the singer is expressing how people are getting away with crimes and how in the old days "a man had to answer for the wicked the had done", this is clearly depicted in a cheerful sort of way. In 'The way i am' the singer is expressing how people won't leave him alone when he is out with his family, this is done with anger and a great abondance of cussing. In 'Waking the deamon' the singers depict how people are bringing the worst out of people but through a good portion of the song you can't even understand what they are saying.

2> In these examples different music is used to help depict their emotions. In the first song they use rather cheerful music adding the emotions that they are happy to do the job. The second song uses more of a sad sounding song i guess to provoke simpathy. The third song uses loud music that is boardering on annoying because it is rather jumbled up most likely to provoke anger.

3>These three songs are in my top three song genres because the country is easy to relate to life. In beer for my horses you can relate to people doing bad things to you and wanting justice done to them. Rap most often has a great beat to dance to or even just "bob" lol who even says that anymore... Anyways when some people in in a bad mood for some reason it helps to listen to songs about others problems and realise " hey I've got it easy".

Well that's my top three hope you found it informational,
