Talking these ideas out

The family member i talked to was my mother. I started of by telling her how harmful are food can be that we buy in the stores, and i also told her how the cow owners would do any thing they could to make the cows stand up so they could slotter them. They will roll them over with machines and lots of other horrible things.My moms reaction to this was she did'nt know any thing about this and she thought twice about eating meat. The thing that struck me the most was when your food says all natural it can just be one ingredient that's all natural. i agree and disagree with these concepts. I agree because i at meat. I disagree because i don't want animals being treated wrong. I can apply these things to the real world by letting people who don't know aware of whats going on.

my ishmael

Quote:
Like most five year old she was thrilled for her imagining that some truly wonderful experience must be awaiting her . It was only several months later that i began to notice her excitement was fading.

Response: I agree 100% with the author because im going through school and i feel the same way. The way Ishmael thinks about life makes me think that the system should be changed into a way that kids always want to attend school.This interest me because i can relate to it. A question i have for the author is do you have a deep understanding of and on the world.

The Nail Incident Ceara Harris
“I’m clipping my nails as I do every night before dinner when my sister comes in the door with the baby, I’m on the last nail when I finish I will get up. “Hey sis, hi baby hello hello.”
“Well she doesn’t like me.”
“Yes she does she’s just tired” ok then”
When I came out from under the house from eating I was stopped by my sister.”
“Will you watch the baby because me and mom want to go out tonight?”
“Well I guess, but don’t think I will have fun watching the little flibbertigibbet thing.”
“Thanks”
“Yeah you better hope she cooperates for your sake.”
“Ok your done lets go take a bath now.”
“No more play”
“No let’s take your clothes off and get in the bath”
“I will let you play with some toys in the bath”
“Well I’m thinking maybe I shouldn’t clip her nails because it can turn ugly.”
“Well sit down I’m going to go get the clippers.”
“Let’s wash up so I can clip your nails”
“No”
“Yes they’ are dirty”
“Why are you screaming I haven’t even touched you?”
“Clip stops moving before you get it. I
I grab her throat as if i’m holding on to the back of a car going 100 mph on the free way I thought I could cajole her into getting her nails clipped but it didn’t work that way no. I held her head under water until the lifeless carcass stopped shaking. Then I clipped away.”
Her sister walked in the bathroom “Oh I forgot my …… oh my gosh! “What happened here?
“I just sat there and stared”
“She wouldn’t cooperate so I had to kill her and use my nail clippers as a panacea for her nails.”
“I told mom this was a bad idea to ask you to watch my baby.”
“Then why did you ask me to watch her then.”
“I’m calling the police I cant believe you would do something like this I thought I could trust you and you betrayed me. “
“You’re not calling anyone ok I’m sorry you just cant do that.”
“Please stop I don’t want to have to kill you to.”
“Mom my sister yelled.”
“I guess ill have to do you like the baby huh?”
“You killed my child and now you want to kill me how low down can you get.”
“Don’t try to make me have any kind of pity on you I will just solve the problem by killing you to.”
“Bang bang bang I shot her then my self.”
