MY MAD DREAM OF AN ESSAY
Remember that time you ate that spicy [chips] just before you went to bed on the night before the big [concert]? Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election. When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the [boring] details, but after reading "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder" it's all coming back to you now.
The dream started badly. You were in line with your family at a [airport] waiting to be sent to [Hawaii]. Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect [Smegal], looking like a crazy [goblin] who could eat a whole [pie].
Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "[Ne te quaesiveris extra]." You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to [freak]. But it wasn't easy. First you had to put on a fancy [shirt] and [ring] and then you had make a [pizza] to go back in time to the [public place] so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the [dank memes].
But right there in the [statue of liberty] there was a giant [taco] and it started [spiting] at everyone. People started to [dance]. You grabbed a [shovel] from a nearby [Taco Bell] and yelled [DING DONG]. Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.

The Rock that Changed it all
It was 2016 but, different of course. The outcome of WW2 was different there was no Hitler killing himself it was a body double. He was secretly at a meeting with the Japanese and talking about a plan that would make them the super power of the world. September 2nd, 1945 that was when it was supposed to end but 1 month exactly on October 2nd, 1945 the new bombs went off. They were a mix of German and Japanese tech. The events that happen after were unthinkable nuclear war thousand dead and a world filled with chaos. The children of the new 2016 have had a long hard road and have almost lost every thing.
LA, CALIFORNIA 9:40 PM
"Why are we here at this time? Like it is not that time to be out." said Danny with fear in his eyes.
"I don't know Mike said that he saw something but it was probably nothing like it always is." said Tracy with sass.
This was a group of 2 brothers and 2 sisters who all were born to the same mother and father but due to tragedies is the world at that time right when all of them were a little older their parents fled and dropped them off at a shelter for children who would be safe from the outside world.
"No I sware there is something it was in the corner of my eye from our room." said Mike as he ran with a flashlight in one hand and holding his younges sister Lizzy's hand.
" You do know that we are so screwed if we get caught sneeking out right." said Tracy
as they ran through streets of ruble and smoke they reached a big rock in the middle of the road that had never been there. The kids have always been dragged from the shelter by Mike for years and know this place like the back of their hand.
"Whats this?" said Lizzy looking confused and excited.
"Well what ever it is we can't go near it." said Danny.
"But why this is something that just fell out of the sky you know it could mean that it is a distress call and maybe the war is over and maybe this world isn't just ruble and muck." said Mike with optimism.
"Yeah, even if it is a thing that says its all over what if it means we can get better lives then the ones that we were born into. Sure but what if we are doing that wrong this? What if it is another sign of war and all of us have to be enlisted even Lizzy." said Tracy
As constrant arguing was growing within that group the rock started to shake and open up. The rock was becoming a portal.
"Hey look the rock thingy is open!" said Lizzy with total shock.
But before any of them had any time to ay anything there was a big flash of light and poof. Our charaters are now in our 2016 the 2016 LA that we all know and love.
"Where are we?" said Danny as he looked in fear and confusion.
"Don't know don't care this place is so pretty it doesnt have all that crap every where." said Mike aregently.
Then from our of know where they heared a voice
"Hello my chilren." said the voice
"Ok did we go to heaven or somthing cause this is tripping me out." said Tracy
"No turn around." said the voice
They turned to see their mom and dad standing there but they looked some much different from the last time they saw their parents. The looked some much older and stressed out. The children ran at their parents and were so much more happy that they were back in their arms.
Their parents were scientists that worked aat an old abandoned UCLA. There they conducted work in time travel and time manipulation. They discovered that using diffrent parts from destroyed bombs and mixing an array of chemical toghether would be used to power a time machine. They called it G.S.U.A. which means god save us all.
It was almost like a jet pack and who ever wore it could go back it time but not forward. They used a interen who well just wasn't at the right place at the right time and went back and killed Hitler almost 3 months before he cunducted plans with the japanese.
When he did that a meteroid came down to the destroyed 2016 and made everything the way it should be. THE END

AN EARTH-SHATTERING FART
I thought that this story was interesting the way that the author had made a safari for going back in time just to kill extincted animals. I also really liked that there was an awesome way that he used the time machine and that there was also someone who guided our hero to go. The ending was very weird and having a character dying is odd because he never said that he died but i think that he died. I thought that the story was a precursor for Jurassic Park and Back to the Future because it feels so similar and the same.

EMERSON'S CHILD
2. How would Emerson suggest that we learn (in school and elsewhere) in order to pursue our goals? How would he view our school and career aspirations? What would he suggest you do after high school, and how would he suggest that you prepare for this?
What is do you think traditional learning is? Emerson would have wanted us to learn from each other than from some text books and boring teachers sitting up there and telling us what to do. Emerson would want us to go for the career that you have always wanted and do it no matter what anyone else says. I think that he would tell us that we should do what ever we want and not to be like every one else and be very different.
bjbb If Emerson were to suggest that we learn from in school and elsewhere in order to pursue our goal he would suggest that we would have to learn from our peers and not that teachers. The reason i say that is because he believes is individuality and that any one can be a genius in their own way. That also means that if every one is extremely smart in their own way that means that we can all learn whole bunch from each other and now need any text books or teachers to tell us anything. On our goals he would want us to follow our heart and never let anything stand in your way when it comes it what you want to do with your life.
ogn
Emerson would view our school and career aspirations as doing what ever you feel like doing. I think that Emerson would want us to follow our dreams and never do something cause someone else said that you have to do it. If Emerson was around today and someone asked what career he should take Emerson would probably say do what ever your heart wants to do. He would also say that if someone is doing a job you want you shouldn't follow in their foot steps you should find something else that you want to pressure.
nnb
b Emerson would suggest that i should do after high school would be live your dream. He would tell us to prepare by studying that asking our peers and being if it would be something that would be worth trying. Emerson would want us to think that we really what this and actually make us think that this is something that i want to do for the rest of my life. If i told Emerson that i wanted a career in music he would tell me that i should go for it and never stop but be careful you not get screwed.
bigk
ofo I think that Emerson is someone that we can look to for many things such as guideness for careers `and what is wrong with our school systems. He is going to be remembered for ever because he made people thing outside the box and made them feel good about them selves.

Why can't we vote and how do people think that we are different.
there are things
what i must is to what we do but not what others concern me
they don't want you to be an individual they want you to be like every one else
people have to over come challenges in life and that people have to not change for things.
thee opportunity is to help us learn and help each other and school is a obstacle. I leaned from Marcos and Celif's presentation is that we need to ourselves and become what we want to be. Also that we have to not give up and don't let people make you who you are.
Robert chose this quote because it means that he has to trust and believe in themselves.
to them there was several ways to do things and achieve things

EMERSON FOR THE YOUNG BUCK
If I were to explain Emerson to a "young buck" it would be extremely difficult for me because he is so hard to understand. First I would tell a kid that this man if almost from a different time and things were different back then from now but his ideas are still around.
Then I would ask the kid what do you think the meaning of self reliant is? After I got the answer I would say that Emerson thinks that being self reliant is not listening to the people around you but to yourself.

EMERSON SAID IT
" He cumbers himself never about consequences, about interests: he gives an independent, genuine verdict"
"There are the voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world."
"We first share the life by which things exist, afterwords see them as appearances in nature, and forget we have shared their cause"
"His hidden meaning lies in our endeavors; our valor are our best gods"
"Ne te quaesiveris extra."
"Be yourself'
1. I found this quote and i thought that it was very true and meaning full.
2. When i found this quote i thought that it was so powerful and was just amazing.
3. Angle had this quote and it is great because it shows that nature made us the way we are.
4.I don't really understand this quote but Angle does
5. This quote is so true it is scary
