Snowball Speech :]

Napoleon , What kind of leader is he ? You ask me and today i'm here to unmask the monster that he truly is. I , Snowball should be the leader for I am faithful to all you comrades standing here . Napoleon is not faithful to you for he is a thief, he takes the hens eggs to trade them off for money. He is also a liar because when he takes advantage of you he makes up a poor excuse which you guys believe.
What he did is not right because he actually murdered nine hens to get what he wants. He also steals the apples to put it in his own food. This shows that he is an uncaring person because he takes things for himself. He does not show that he really cares about you comrades.
If I were leader I would not steal from you . I would try very hard to get money to feed all of us without having to sell what is yours. For example we could harvest crops and sell them. I would do many things to assist and improve this farm. If I was Napoleon i would take all your belongings and trade them to get what i want and needed.
So as you can see i would be a preferable leader to this farm. I would help out in many ways , this would be a very powerful farm because of me. Comrades just think about your decision and do what is best. I advice you to think wisely because if you pick the wrong decision it might just end up destroying what you been working so hard for .

Independent Reading

The book i read was Giving up the "V". In the pages I read she was in the doctor's office waiting for him to go in. She was talking about how it was her 16th birthday and had to spend it in their getting her vagina checked. Her mom had a rule that once her daughters turned 16 they would have to use birth control. She thought it was nonsense because she was still a virgin.

Marys View of a Perfect World

You have just entered Desire, a world full of wonders. This isn't just any regular world it represents the way life should really be,its basically living life as an utopia. My world has seven basic rules to follow. In life these seven rules should be follow to contribute to this planet and make it an even better one. Everything is never perfect but sometimes imagining it was makes me believe there can be changes.

My first rule would be respect the people who surround you. Having respect for others is one of the most important things because if you don't respect others how do you expect to respect yourself. One of the reasons why is because you have to give to receive and in this case it is to be respected. An example of this is when you meet a person and you introduce yourself you wouldn't want them to ignore you, that is a way of showing disrespect. Another example that happens very often is guys calling girls inappropriate names. In my opinion i find this the worst disrespect because if they are calling a girl an inappropriate its like their disrespecting their own mother.
