Religion Statement

Religion offers individuals a framework to help people make moral choices.
I agree with the statement and feel that religion is a way of life the builds someones personality and helps them make their own moral choices. Religions like Buddhism or Hinduism have different rules and beliefs that help mold there own unique lifestyle. Based on there religions beliefs they are able to make good or maybe bad decisions. Buddhists believe that treating others with kindess and care is a important trait seen in life, based on this one may change their choices to benefit another. The framework that is built up through religion takes hold on ones body mentally and somewhat physically. Being a loyal Christian ones framework revolves around the beliefs and rules christianity. Using your religion you can think of a solution or a decision in a situation that would best reflect your religion. If someone was injured and you were the only person around you may follow the religion you are faithful to and have your actions carry out what you believe. Most religions have rules that generally benefit the well fare and care of others so depending on what you believe you would either help the person or perhaps leave them. Religions form the choices of an individual.

• why did it appeal to you?

Recently I have been viewing some this I believe speeches. I was scanning through the section on friendship and brotherhood when I found a very interesting essay called All men are my brothers. the belief being discussed in this essay revolves around connections between people which can be stated as brotherhood and friendship. Summarizing the essay the author has used personal experiences as evidence to support the belief he is writing about. The author says that all men are his brothers because of all the similar traits seen in men and the bond everyone has with each other. This essay appealed to me because of the great and amazing experiences the author has had with men very unlike him. I found all of his experiences very interesting because most of the time he could not communicate with anyone but he was able to relate and even laugh with them. The essay is also very well structured following a basic criteria except he substitutes evidence and examples with his life. I enjoyed this essay very much and will make mine about brotherhood and friendship.  

Global Issues, Universal education

I think that Universal education still stands at the top of the MDG's. I think it's necessary to educate every child from 1st grade to 12th grade because of the important things you learn from being a toddler to a teenager. It's essential for kids to get a bit of an education but the longer the better. Knowledge can lead to great things since it educates people on the problems faced by our community. An educated child can contribute to help achieve the other MDG's, from school, partnerships can rise and from then charitable funding organizations can rise and answer to poverty, child health and the rest of the MDG's. An education is the key to a better life, not only for you but for others if your willing to make that change.

Ten things I remember

I remember when I lived in Sri Lanka in a huge house when my dad went outside with an axe to cut a snake in half and it's body stayed there for weeks.

I remember when I first went swimming, I jumped and did doggy paddle around the perimeter of the pool.

I remember when I was 3 and lost my favorite teddy bear, I went to sleep with it and in the morning it was gone. I was so sad.

I remember when I ate sushi for the first time and gagged because it was raw eel!

I remember when I went for an Easter egg hunt in the jungle and found the most eggs.

I remember when I fell of my mums lap when I was in and airplane and rolled down the Aisle.

I remember when I got stung by a centipede when I was having a sleep over with my best friend. The pain was excruciating.

I remember moving to my new house in Kuala Lumpur, I had to do so much work at home involving moving in that I preferred to be at school.

I remember driving a quad bike around the fields of England a couple months ago when my cousin almost made me fall of.

I remember when I got wacked in the hand with a cricket bat and almost broke it.

Greek Myths

On your blog, reflect on the Greek myths seen today in class.  Which story did you enjoy the most?  Why? Was it the characters or the story that you enjoyed?  In thinking of the themes in these stories, what do they have in common?


Personally I enjoyed the second story because of the suspense leading up to the moment when Theseus came face to face with the Minotaur. The characteristics were very effective, portraying many hidden thoughts and emotions. For example when Theseus came to Athens, the king's "evil" wife felt spite, doubt and other dreadful emotions and thoughts towards Perseus because she knew who he was and why he was there. What I'm trying to say is that her, having evil characteristics gave her evil, thoughts, emotions etc.... I also quite liked the characters in the story, especially the Minotaur. It was a monstrosity having the head of a bull and body of a man, I personally took pleasure from it's form and it's story. The other story was also very interesting but not as intense. A lot of mournful events took place in the story causing Daedalus to make the choices and do things that he wouldn't necessarily do, such as make figurines of a flying boy. In my opinion he felt so much guilt and remorse for the death of his son that he built sculptures to try and sooth his pain.


The similarities that myth's share are suspense, emotion, heroes, journeys, pain (emotional or physical), a plot, conflict and resolution.  

Bio poem

My name is Jake and I am no fake
 I am cheerful, responsible, optimistic, emotional, respectful and artistic
My sister is Jessie, whose in 12th grade, I feel she needs a tutor or some real serious aid
I love food, friends and money and things that are funny
I feel that the economy is failing, and there is to little jailing for some of the crimes being committed these days and I also feel like most of the people around the world should be getting a pay raise (this is one of the many reasons the riots started in England.)
I fear bugs, monkeys and forgetting home work
I would like to see a blue whale, the experience would make me pale
I share my thoughts on anything and sometimes I share secrets with regret
I am 12 years old and am always embarrassed of past situations
I am a resident of Punchak Ukay in Ukay heights, I live in an apartment that views the city and compared to it I am extremely bitty
One last thing before the end my last name is Fuller and I have no fashion trend
