Send Christoper to the musical!

The movie Autism: The Musical helped me understand Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time much better. I saw Christopher in more than one character. The first character that remind me of Christopher was Henry. Henry was cute but he has an obsession over Dinosaurs and he knew almost everything about them. He always spoke about Dinosaurs. Christopher didn’t speak much about Dinosaurs, but he spoke about math, stars, science, and things that an average person would never think about or know. I feel Henry and Christopher are alike because they are both gifted and intelligent. The second character from the movie that reminded me of Christopher was Neal. When Neal was at the park he pulled a little boy, and the boy fell and hurt himself. In the book, Christopher tells us about an incident where he hurts a girl and she had to go to the hospital. Also in the movie Neal gets a bit upset when his mother was laughing because he thought she was laughing at him. Christopher too does not like when people laugh at him as he says in chapter 67. Also Christopher doesn’t like looking at people’s faces when he is talking to them, like both Neal and Henry (chapter 67). The movie made me want to work with autistic children and help them. It also made me look at Christopher in another way. He is just a child that is lost in a big world. I still can’t believe that the author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is not autistic!

summary

my paper was about the reasons why the current president couldnt and probalably cant help the economy all by him self. the problem has been going on for at least 20 something years now and the past presidents have contributed to this and and now he is expected to fix it in 4 years or it will be over for his reputation. i believe that he took the hardest job in the world becasue of the fact that he has a alot to do in so little time. he had to try and fix the health insurance issue, the housing market isssue, and the stock market and on top of all this he had to worry about the the oil leak in the gulf and this just added to the work load he was given.

Broken Wing

 As  As humans we tend to judge people by own standards, if we want people to accept us, a lot of time we unconsciously measure others and see if they are like us. We never look beyond the picture we see a lot of times. For example if there is a handicap in our class, the majority of us won’t associate with him/her and the ones that do associate with them a lot of times do it out of kindness not because they sincerely want to know the individual. From my own experience living with my brother I learned that there’s more to what we see. As humans we should think more deeply of people and how they are. If there’s a person you know who isn’t like you, maybe he doesn’t have a leg, arm, or eye don’t judge him automatically and put him aside rather get to him, you never know he could be the friend you’ve always wanted.  My experience with my little brother taught me that they are people out there who isn’t like me and that I shouldn’t judge people from how they look like. Would you want someone to judge you when you need help?

It will Always be Someone Else's Fault.

How often do you either hear someone put the blame on someone else for their own mistakes or you yourself blame someone else? Either of which sadly happen with all of us at some point or more in our lives, whether it's either one or both. Yes, it is right to stand up for our own mistakes but you know people will be more lenient to just drop the blame on someone else to make them look better. I always think of times that could of been different if I didn't have to do something for someone else or if someone wasn't there and so on. It just runs through my head but I don't go to the extent of fully putting the blame on someone else, at least not anymore. I think that we get this so called "trait" in our childhood. How many times can you think of when you saw two kids arguing saying it's each other's fault. Unfortunately there are still some people out there that still don' t know that it is wrong for some lord only knows reason. People will always be getting blamed in our society for things they don't do. Whether they get away with it or not it is still wrong in my book.

Living in united state is the mostly great country in the world. When I coming this country I was so excited. But when u see how life is different I never thought that I will not got school bus while I’m in the united state. When u live out the country and when u hears about how people complain u will though that what people went because they are in and they should said than god. But that was my idea before I come to this country. Now I got the point that they was talking about. Living in the united state and not having school was my experience.

Money And Its Evil Charecteristics

People always say " money is the root of all evil". But you have to look at both sides of the argument. Money is not the only root of evil. There is other sources of motivation like jealously, greed, lust etc. But money is by far the largest root. Have you noticed that money is incorporated into a lot of our daily activities? We go to college to get a degree so we can get a job. We work to support ourselves. Money motivates people to unimaginable lengths . People kill each other for money, some rob for money, and others all over this world steal from each other . I believe money should not make you go againest your morals or personal ethics . It shouldn't change who you are or make you do things you usually would not do. Just think about it. You will be amazed when you realize how much of your day goes to money.

How the Economy is doing



I am tired of those people complaining about the economy is not getting better, well those jerks are just not trying to find jobs at all. There are jobs opening everywhere people get up and look for it, the job will not come to you, you have to go look and compete for it.

There are a lot places that are hiring such as Walgreen's and many more. If you can't get job in one place then look from another place you just have to keep looking for it and you will find a job. Just don't give up.




Big Fairs, Big fun, Big money


when it come to fairs they can be really expensive. you have to pay for everything you do. you have to pay to get in, pay to eat, pay to ride rides, and even to just have fun. fairs are a lot of fun but by the end of the day you can be broke! people never really see how much they spend at fairs until all their money is gone. i dont think it is right beacuse it is a place that brings the community together. A place to have fun and hang out with family and friends. i think the fair should lower their prices so more people can go and not worry about their money situation!

United States immigrants


im sick and tierd of people that think immigrants are not treated very well in america. the united states offers many different kinds of help to the poor and the needy. despite that there are many that think that think we need to do more. what the hell is going on. we americans expect everything to be perfect. thats not how life works. we need to support the efforts of our nation and move on. stop making immigration a big deal its really not. america is the nation of immigrants.

DI...ABETES...


So, why can't we find a cure for diabetes for so long, even when we have a new develop technologies...?? that's a good question,, maybe it's a business,, so other people can make money out of those who need medical for diabetes..

if that's the case,, are we going to let them die slowly,, because they will die at the end no matter what... and while they dying,, others are just having a really big smile because of how much they got in their banks... WOW what a life..
I think now is about the time we stop being greedy, and help others. By searching harder for a cure. of cause we have the new technologies,, why not finding a solution for diabetes.....?

East, West, North, and .... what was the last one???


Ever thought why new smart phones have apps that we usually dont use but need such as the compass or GPS? I've noticed that we rely on GPS/ Iphones to tell us the directions and if someone came up to us and asked us if we knew where North East was, we wouldnt know how to answer. It is important to know where South, West, East, and North is so we could get to our destinations faster and never get lost if our GPS broke, however, until this day few people know where it is.

This is a vid to teach us how to tell directions without a GPS/ Compass!


( My goal is to save myself a whole lot of time and just know where North, East, South, West is so I dont get lost on the OSU campus when I transfer to the main campus! )

Live in somalia






Life in Somalia is very hard at this time because Somalia has had problems in past 20 years. Somalia was war place since 1990 and nobody want help Somalia even poeple in United States. people in United States should intersting helping in Somali because they have number one strongest country in the world today. As we heard everyday people are dying in Somalia because of war, that is normal life in Somalia and killing people is not something normal as we know. Many somalis came to United States and other countries to safe thier life and im one of them, i came to United States to safe my life.

competitive golfing


You think that golf is not competitive? Well then you have obviously never played a round of golf before. The sport of golf can make you more upset with yourself then any other sport. Golfers throw there clubs, throw there balls, and even snap their clubs into two. One guy even beat his club on his head until it was completely bent in half. Golf can turn even the calmest person into a mad man. Missing a putt from just a few feet away always causes a few swear words to be screamed. So if you think that golf is just an excuse for people to wear goofy pants, then you have to try the sport out for yourself.

Why take it out on us?




Most people think that working in a kitchen and being a hostess are easy. Well they are wrong they are two different jobs that both are difficult. The main thing is you have to please people in both jobs. Lack of effort in these jobs can result in a big angry mob of people. When working outside of the kitchen you work up close with the angry, rude and snotty people and when you are inside the kitchen you do not have to deal with the snotty, angry, and rude people. One thing that i can not stand is when people send back their food because, they are missing a slice of cheese so, you know what we do we stick it on another plate for them. Most of the time they tend to call us out and take our anger out on us directly.

"cell phone driving"




"cell phone driving" is one of the big problem cause crash, it will reduce the drive reaction while they holding the cell phone. because talking on cell phone while driving will reduce the driver's reaction, so that may be cause the driver fail to stop, or cross on the red light.look at that guy on the picture, he is probably talking to his girl friend, but he never know there is potential accident while he doing that. " cell phone dring" is also a activity to challege the police , you may thought is very fun to do that, but you would never beat the police, the picture on the right is show that guy got catch while he talking to his girlfriend. "cell phone driving is not only affect the driver safety, but also the other driver's safety.

Difference countries can learn one goal education for all




All education it's a same but the way people learn is difference. Education depent way you want to learn. It can be preffesional learn. People learn in different ways. And no one has a better learning style than anyone else.The notion of the people from different cultural backgrounds have different styles of learning seems so reasonable, so intuitively sensible, that it is hard to believe that it is just not true.Because different cultural groups have different cognitive strengths does not mean that teachers should narrowly match their teaching styles to these patterns of abilities. Such an approach to education would be destructive.Learning educational is a making changes in one's knowledge, skills, values, and world views . The idea is helpful when it reminds teachers to expand the ways in which they teach. to pay attention to individual children and to the ways life is lived in different communities. Education is what everyone in the world needs to learn.Difference country's can learn one goal of education for all.

The Wendys Experience


Going to Wendy's for some people is an occasional thing and for other people it is an every day event. When you make it an every day event the money starts to add up and the greasy foods you eat every day starts to show too. Wendy's might have a value menu but that doesn't mean that everything will be a value. The combo menu prices are around five to six dollars. When you buy a six dollars meal everyday for seven days you would spend forty two dollars just for your lunch in one week. Each meal has that you get would be around one thousand calories too, this includes the sandwhich, fries, and a soda. So that would be 7000 calories in one week just for your lunch! In the end Wendy's should be an occansional thing and not an everyday event.

Lost at the movies summary By Ahmed Dhere

The chapter “lost at the movies” by Bill Bryson appears in the book I’m a Stranger Here Myself. Bryson in this chapter talks about privacy in America. He compares different methods companies use to spy on their employees. “It is perfectly legal indeed; it is evidently routine for the store to spy on you while you are trying on their clothes”. Bryson talks about this but he reads which is according to him full of alarming tales of ways that businesses and employers can and enthusiastically do intrude into what would normally be considered private affairs. “The business of changing cubicle spying came to light in 1983 when a customer trying on clothes in a department store in Michigan discovered that a store employee had climbed a stepladder and was watching him through a metal vent”. Bryson says nearly everyone in America is being spied in some way in America these days. In this chapter he talks about people and their experiences with being spied on and how they are compared. “In 1989, when an employee of a large Japanese-owned computer products company discovered that the company was routinely reading employees’ e-mail, even though it had assured the employees that it was not, she blew the whistle, and was promptly fired. She sued for unfair dismissal and lost the case. A court upheld the right of companies not only to review employees’ private communication but to lie to them about doing it”.
