Self Reliance 4

•To be great is to be misunderstood. My nephew is inspired by me. He’s grown up with me because we’re neighbors and ever since I stared playing football and he’s been going to my games, he’s been wanting to play too. He tells me all the time he wants to play the same positions I do and lift as much as I do. Not only football but also video games, he’s always wanting to play with me and hang out with me and it makes me happy because I have someone who is inspired by me.

Self-Reliance 3

•Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Don’t worry what others say, stay true to yourself and you’ll be good in life. If you let others get into your head, you make yourself look weak and easy for others to pick on you

Self Reliance 2

People think if we don’t honor themselves life would be difficult to them. They think hope is gone, but hope is never gone you have to trust yourself. You have to be your own hero nobody would care about you. You have to embrace your fear of rejection to life, fear will destroy you if you don’t face your fear.

FIRST IMPRESSION: On Self-Reliance

The was really interesting, what caught my attention was the first sentence that was written in Latin which would catch many readers attention. The story was really inspiring to convince people.

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE PEDESTRIAN

    "The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury is a short story about Mr Leonard Mead experiencing how the authority is so used to people sitting watching TV in their homes at night. He is also feeling the effects of technology its making everyone and their homes at the darkest night look like a cemetery with grey phantoms floating about and flickers of lights flashing on curtain windows. The main and only characters tone is sad and very lonely with a dark dimly lit setting.      The tone is very lonely because the character Leonard Mead is the only real character introduced in this story. With only the police car to be only thing that confronts him. Also while he is walking on his regular night walk he has stated in his story that he has never came across another person on his walks in 8 years. The tone is also quite sad because he has no one to talk to and when the police car asks him if he has a wife he replied "Nobody wants me". Now there you can see that it hurt...

SIMILAR TO THE PEDESTRIAN

It was a cold night just got out practice from the yelling and screaming. I was so tired I wasn’t able to walk, I felt like a newborn deer trying to walk, my arms dangle because they’re to heavy to pick up. As I walked in the cold with the freezing wind blowing in my face, feeling like little needles hitting my face. As I slowly walked down the streets I spotted a cop car in the corner of my eye but I ignored the officer, but once I saw the officer pull out is weapon and yelled “freeze” my heart dropped wondering why he’s stopping me but I noticed that he was looking behind and he admittedly told me to get out of the which I did. Next thing I see is a man with his hands up slowly going to the floor while cop cars rolled in.
