snap shot of frozen Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls- Frozen Flurry

          Standing on the bridge above the frigid waters below I saw the frozen icicles that had formed on the water surrrounded rocks at the begining of the water fall.  In Ontario Canada the air is frigid I see white and brown everywhere the brightness of the sun is gleaming off the  whiteness of the snow, it is very blinding.  The sound of the water is overtaking the sounds of the animals in the forest right next to it.  Also many of the tourists awe in the sight of the Niagara Falls.

          The Magnificent smell of the surrounding air fills my lungs with fresh air. But I am very cold standing above the frozen tundra of water.

A Good Listener

     A situation in Of Mice and Men is when Lennie is sitting in the barn petting the dead puppy.  Then Curley's wife comes in and he covers the puppy up with hay hoping she wouldn't notice.  Then Curley's wife starts telling Lennie how she does't really like Curley and that Lennie is a nice person that she can trust.  A good listener is usually nice and quiet they are also good at keeping secrets.  A person who you can confide in also usually has very good trust towards that person.  I haven't ever confided in someone who betrayed my confidence, but if I did I would probably go to one of my parents.  My friend confided confided me one time when he was going through some tough times at his house with his parents. I handled their trust very well actually I didn't tell anyone about the situation that he did not want me to tell about.

erik sween a perfect world

       A perfect world for me would be there was limited laws. Also drugs, alcohol, and smoking or anything related to those would not exist. Also everyone would have nice parents that let them do almost anything. No one in this world would have any disabilities or any medical problems of any kind. Also there would no obesity at all anywhere around the world. Everyone in the world would get 64gb ipad 2's  for anything they would need one for. All of the countries would unite and there would be no wars the world would be peaceful.
      
       All of the kids wouldn't need to go to school they would be born with all of there smarts. In this world kids are allowed to work at the age of thirteen. No family would be more rich than another family and nothing would be overpriced. Everyone's siblings would be nice to each other and there would be no fighting between siblings.  For transportation there would be flying cars or metro stations.  Colleges would not cost as much money and no student would have to buy their books they would all be included with the price of the college.

       As you can see my perfect world is nothing like the real world today.  No one would have to pay more or less taxes no matter how rich or how poor. Each family of more than four people would get a free car for their family. In my world texting and driving would be illegal all around the world and severly enforced. Each parent was only allowed to have one job at a time. No mother was allowed to have more than five children in their home at once.
