No "A" Note to Mrs. Giles

Our world is not suited for destruction. The thing is to not fight over stupid things like iron or bronze. We need to fight for freedom. This is the time we will strike them in the gut. We must smite over our enemies my fellow soldiers from Gondor. We will go to Mordor. There we will move to the front door, strike, be victorious. This is the prophecy my friends. Our home will be free from the forces of Mordor. Men will triumph over the orcs of Mordor. The Lord of Night will kneel before us. Our people will conquer. See, it is not difficult to not use the first letter.

Sincerely,
Ike Clotfelter

No Round

Round is the way we describe an object that has circular properties. The world is round, balls are round, our heads are round, and almost everything is roundish. If nothing was round, the world would be like Minecraft. Although Minecraft is a fun game, it would not be fun to live in a world forever like this. People would not be able to play sports the way they do it now. The whole world would have to get used to being on a square surface. That is if the world became a square. maybe everything would look round, but be made out of square atoms. We would get headaches from having tires that are squares. Squares are supposed to be for building bases, kind of. Without anything that is round, our world would be headed for disaster (not really).

Pacifist

Martin Luther King Junior was someone who believed in protesting in a non-violent way. He is known as a pacifist. They do not believe in violence at all. Violence is good and bad. There are cases when violence is good, such as when we are at war. Violence is bad at places like schools and public buildings. Personally, I am in between. I am not a strict pacifist, but I am kind of one, too. One way violence was not good in war was during the Korean War. General Douglas MacArthur wanted to attack North Korea. He believed violence was the key to stopping the war. MacArthur was relieved of his position. The war ended soon after. He was a good example of how violence is not good in times of war. It is hard to be a soldier and be a pacifist. Martin Luther King Junior was a very inspirational man, and I hope he has a good birthday. Even though he can't celebrate it.

Resolution, 1-10-14

Every new year, millions of people across the world create a New Year's Resolution. Personally, I do not make any resolutions. I do sometimes, such as this year. Statistics show that 80% of the people that make resolutions do not follow what they said. A resolution is a choice to do or not to do something in your life. My resolution for this year is to get better at understanding social media. I am not very good at understanding how all that stuff works. I like to know things when they happen, not five days later. I will spend more time on the computer getting used to things like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Blogger. I will create a Twitter account. I have an account for everything else. I can spend about half an hour each day figuring out what each icon or button does. About six minutes for each website. That is what my new year's resolution for 2014 is.
