#1. Pretend that you are talking to a blind man and have to describe for him what "red" is. You should use narrative and descriptive writing techniques, and try to appeal to his other senses!

Red, is this color had a temperature it would be hot imagine your fringer tips burning as they slowly aproach a burning object your finger tips would feel warm, one could say red.When one is ligth skinned enough and he/ she blushes theyre cheeks turn pink and in some cases red which at that point the cheeks are warm , there is no other way red can be described , warm, hot the color of blood . The color of an apple ripe in it's time perfect for one to undulge in its juicy core and red cover which when rubben upon ones clothes it takes a unique red shine.

#2. How does competition function in our society? To what extent is it healthy/unhealthy? Offer some real world examples taken from your life, community, culture, state, nation, or world

Life, it is all a competition grades, money, cars, looks, popularity, sense of humor etc. the list goes on. Competition is good because it teaches us ways to motivate one self to achieve a goal which is common. Personally i am a very competitive person , i don't play to get even i play to win and i take all competition very seriously and put all my effort towards something and won't quit until i achieve it.Competition is healthy until it gets violent among the people competing unless the competitions purpose is violence.

#3. How have you taken something that you have learned in the classroom and integrated it into your nonacademic life?

Well usually i don't use anything that we learn in the classroom outside of class but your class is my favorite so i decided to try it . One day we were learning about passive sentences and grammar and stuff like that and you said , when you go on facebook look at what your friends post and correct it and fix it , now everytime i go on facebook and see a status or something written in a bad format or grammar i correct it in my head and the first thing i do is it written in third person ? First person ? what is misspelled? and then i think , ahah Ms.Eddy's advice is helping me ! i think that is the only lesson or advice ive used outside school, now everytime i see my sentences in a timed write i do the same thing correct it in my head and now it has become like a habit , thank you Ms.Eddy it really helps.

#4. If you could go back in time and be someone in history, who would you choose to be? Why?

If i could go back in time and be anybody i would be Indiana Jones. He is my favorite movie character of all times he goes anywhere he wants he can do anything, he is super smart because he is a college professor. He is also a history major which i want to be when i go to college and he can beat people up with his whip.That is why i want to be Indiana Jones .

#5. If you had the responsibility to decide where $1 million should be spent to improve conditions somewhere in the world, what project(s) would you choose? Why?

If i could give a cause one million dollars i would make it my cause to find homeless peoples family. Most homeless people have families they just don't know it and if they didn't have families i would invest money in making a community and when the money ran out i would make a donation center so people could donate money or food and clothes so that the homeless could live a happy life. Everybody deserves to live a happy life and if they needed medical attention or anything of that nature there would be doctors it would be a little city .

#6. How have you tried to effect change in relation to an issue of personal, local, or national significance?

#7. If you could introduce one new idea or material thing to a primitive culture, what would it be?

If there was one thing i could introduce into a culture it would be freedom. Freedom is a gateway to everything , it will lead people to new ideas which will lead to new advances in technology politics system structure and just their way of life. For example in the middle east women are constantly oppresed by men who in their culture and religion have the idea that men are superior so they deny them freedom of speech they can't leave their home and they can't even think and if they do they cannot express their ideas out loud if not they will get stoned to death .Freedom is something people here in the United States take for granted which is wrong , "You wont know what you have until you lose it" and i hope we dont lose freedom.
