Long Life
In the story "The Secret", it is definitely unfair to keep the discovery a secret to the people on Earth. People on the moon can live up to two hundred years old, but the people on Earth can't? If the people on Earth founds out this discovery, they would be very mad at the people working on the moon. They would be mad because it is very unfair that the people on the moon can have this advantage. People on Earth might start a riot and protest to the government about this unfair treatment. Some people think that it is good to live longer, but there are some bad things that might happen if you live longer. One of them is that you might get illnesses or other bad diseases easier. As you get old, your body gets older too, which means that you body isn't working that well compare to a twenty year old man or women. If I can live up to at lease two hundred years old, but all my friends and family members dies before me, it would be quite painful. All of the people you know died, that means you have no more friends to talk with, and they can't help you with something when you have problems. If this happens to me, I would rather die instead be able to live up to two hundred years old.

The Secret
In the story, it was not the first time Henry Cooper went on the moon. Henry Cooper was suspicious when he visited the moon because everyone is avoiding to talk to him. During his last visit, people are all joyful and willing to talk and to know him. This time, everyone was all quiet. Dr. Hasting had found out that living things can live longer on the moon than on Earth. Dr. Hasting showed Henry a ten years old hamster. It is really surprising to Dr. Hasting because a normal hamster can only live up to two years of age. There are other hamsters that is twenty years old. Henry also asked Dr. Hasting that how long would a human live on the moon according to this theory. Dr. Hasting was estimating about two hundred years. Dr. Hasting doesn't want to let this get known to the other people because news spreads very fast. He doesn't want people to know these things that are just discovered. If people know this, everyone would want to live on the moon because now you can live up to two hundred years old. Normally a human who can live up to about ninety years old are classified as long-living. Now on the moon, you can live up to two hundred years old. Which is a surprising and joyful news to the people.

Writing is DIfficult
To me, the statement "writing is suppose to be difficult, agonizing, a dreadful exercise, a terrible occupation." means that writing IS a difficult and dreadful exercise. Writing is difficult, but why would people want to do it as a job? It is because they enjoy writing. Because of your feeling towards the thing you liked, you will have more feeling of doing it. To me, writing is a very difficult thing to accomplish. You need to care about your grammar, your choice of words, and the way you write. These complicated things are all things that kept me from hating writing. There are some other things that is similar to writing, take a professional tennis player for example. Tennis is hard, and tiring, tennis players choose this as their job is because they love to play tennis. Because of their feelings towards tennis. Even though it is tiring and challenging, they still love to play tennis and compete with other people. Like I said, the feelings of you liking the thing, it can let you forget how painful it is to do that event. Being a professional tennis player is hard. You got to train in many different ways, they work very hard to be the top tennis players in the world. How did they do this? Because of their feelings towards tennis.

Chronological Order
In the story "there will come soft rains" the house was damaged and destroyed fairly quickly. After the tree fell on to the house, it started burning. The author is trying to say that wars is bad for people. It kills innocent people that are not involved in the war. Which in the story, the family. When the nuclear bomb was thrown, everything vanished in a blink. The family that was outside the house made a burn mark from the bomb. You can clearly see what they were doing. The dad was mowing the lawn, the mother was kneeling down picking up a flower, the two kids were playing catch, and you can even see the ball in mid air which the kids never get to catch. It is really sad how innocent people were killed with no reason.

Thankful
There are a couple things I'm thankful of, one of them is my parents. I am thankful to my parents for raising me up, giving me a good place to stay, buying things I need, feeding me good food, and for the last one took me to this school. The reason I thank my mom for taking me to this school is because, I made lots of good friends here. Friends here had helped me when I have problems and we all had fun together. Friends are one of the things that a person can not don't have. This made be bring up to another thing that I'm thankful of, which is friends. Friends are one of my most important peoples. I am a only son, so I hang out with friends more because i don't have any brothers or sisters to play with. Friends help each other, and that's what we do in school. We all had fun together, and when there's a problem or trouble, we all find a way to solve it together. These are two thankful things that I am thankful of. For things that I am not thankful of is work. Work is always a pain for me. I know that we need to practice things over and over again, but sometimes there are tons and tons of work for us students to do. It can take us a lot of time on it.

My Invention
There are lots of inventions that helped us to have an easier life. For example, elevators. Elevators can transfer people or things up or down to specific floors in a building. Without an elevator, people would have to walk on stairs to get to the floor they wanted. Another invention is the telephone, before telephones are invented, people had to use mail to communicate with each other. Now, we can just dial a number and you can reach your friend or family member.
If I am creating a invention, I would invent a computer that it can control almost anything on it. Such as, closing your window, turning on or off the lights, making calls with you voice, and managing all your things. It will look like a normal computer, but with projected screens. You can have a much bigger screen with a projected one compare to a normal computer monitor. You don't need a mouse for this computer, you can just tap on the screens to do what you want (you still need a keyboard). You can also use your voice to control the computer, such as telling it commands to do. The warnings for this invention is that you can get almost full control on the things you need in your daily life, so you wouldn't need to move as much as before. This may affect your health conditions.

New Technology
During our life now, we are surrounded by different kinds of technologies for different things. For example, I am using a laptop to type my blogger assignments and I am using electricity to power my laptop and to have the lights on. A hundred years ago, without these technologies, what would life be in that time?
Basically they would have to do everything themselves. Without the help of technologies, they would have to do everything in a different way from us. Take light for example, a hundred years ago, there are no electricity (even if there is, not a lot of people have it), people have to use candles to light up their way during night time. They can't communicate with each other comparing what we can do now. In our life, we just use a cell phone to call a friend or a family member. A hundred years ago, they don't have cell phones. They would need to use mail to communicate with each other. It takes more time and you would have to wait for the other person to reply, and wait for the mailman to deliver it to you. With all these technologies around us, it had made our life easier, but technologies are not always good for us. If we all rely on technologies to do things for us, we will end up not knowing any thing because we never need to do it.
