If you were given a choice to have an operation that would make you much smarter, would you do it, especially if you knew the efects of the surgery would only be temporary? Why or why not? Use examples from the story.

I think that i would do the operation because i would like to see how it feels to be smarter then a doctor. I would like to be smart temporarily because i would not have to ask people questions when i don't understand. Then i won't have to be made fun of for not knowing an answer to a question either. For example, if some one trys to make fun of me or does something to hurt me. I would know what to do or whats happening. Unlike Charlie in the book where they make fun of him and he doesn't get it. In my opinion i think i would like to be smart for a little while then live life not knowing new things.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapter 3-7

After reading Chapters 3-7, predict three problems you think Benjamin will encounter & give your solutions for each.

One problem I think Benjamin might have is that his wife will get mad at him for going to war. I think that the solution might be that they get divorced because he left to go fight in the war.

Another problem he might have is that his dad's company might have some problems with economic things. I think that the solution might be that the company runs out of business or gets into big trouble.

One last problem would have to be if Benjamin was killed in war. The solution would be that the story would end and Benjamin would have to die earlier then when expected.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapter 2

Roger is so overly concerned with how Benjamin looks & is worried about what people are going to say. What should he do?

In my opinion i think that Roger shouldn't care what his son looks like or what other people think of him or his baby. he should be proud of his son because he is his son. he is his blood. familys are suppost to stick together and support each other. in any way they look. in my opinion i think roger should get over his reputation and love his son just the way he is because alot of people are different. it doesn't matter how people look on the outside because they should know that familys are there no matter what.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapter 1

What would you have done if you were Roger Button in Chapter 1?

In my opinion i think that i would have also been in shock too. i would have not known what to do either. what i think i would have done was i would have taken the kid home and thought of something there. i would have treated him as if he was a little kid. and i would never really know what to do with him because he is really old. i would have bought him some clothes and i would thought he would have the mind of a new born baby.

Good gone Bad

It started out to be a dream
One that made me believe differently
But then you went and changed your ways
From lovable to revolting
You made me think you were everything
But soon I found you to be just like them
The guys I said you shouldn’t be
Why didn’t you care
Why did I even bother
A better question
“Why did you change”
I couldn’t believe you ended up being the person I tried to avoid
You’re a good dream gone bad
You’re a nightmare

A picture is a thousand words

It was a wonderful spring afternoon at home. This morning went by in a flash. Every one did their chores and went out side to play for a little while. It was almost time for dinner so I got every body back inside to wash up. I put the plates down on the table and went into the kitchen to bake my special carrot pie. After putting it into the oven I went into the dining room to water my flowers, I planted yesterday. I sat by the window watching the birds out side and picked up my knitting needles and started knitting. 20 minutes later I went into the kitchen to check on the pie and it was ready. I yelled to my family, “Dinner is ready!” The first one I saw coming down the stairs was Bruce, my oldest son. I heard him ask “What are we having for dinner mother?” and well as always I answered with a smile, “Your favorite, carrot pie.” I giggled because I know that Bruce loves to eat every thing and doesn’t have a favorite food.

Then I heard Daniel and Lucy, my two littlest children running down the stairs laughing. They were being chased by Rocky, our dog. They came running to their seats when they saw me getting annoyed. The only people we were waiting for to serve dinner were Derek my husband and Georgia, my mother. I set the pie in the middle of the table and in less than 2 seconds Bruce cut himself a piece and started to eat it. I served my younger ones some of the sweet smelling pie I baked. They started eating too, when my mother came into the dining room and sat down. She served her self and started asking Bruce to slow down because he was eating way too fast.

I sat down and ate when rocky came to my lap, so I gave him a piece of pie. When all of a sudden the back door opened and Lucifer, our horse popped his head through the top door and well I had a little piece lift so I gave it to him. Then my husband came down and was putting up the picture that fell when every one came running down stairs. My sweet little Lucy afford him a piece of the pie. I was done so I got up to clean my plate. When all of a sudden I heard the chicken going crazy out side and well means it was feeding time. I sent the kids up to play and went out to feed the chickens. The birds were flying around the bird house my daughter made.

I fed the chickens and placed them into the barn. When I went back in I saw it was getting late and I got every one together in the living room where we sat by the fire and I started knitting again. We all were just talking and tell stories when it was time for bed. So I took every one up to their beds and put them to sleep. By the time I was done I was so tired that once I got into bed and slept till the next morning when we had to do more chores.
