Is it just a game?

Have you ever seen a chicken which is bigger than a man or a rat with a human ear on the back? I never saw a thing like that until our English teacher showed us some pictures and I can only say that with genetic engineering is everything possible.

One the one hand genetic engineering is very useful. First of all for our health. Cheers genetic engineering we can heal certain diseases and we can create new ears and things like that. For example if someone has an accident and looses a ear we can create a new one on the back of a rat. For this genetic engineering is very useful.

Apart from that there is the dark side of genetic engineering. Fingerprints and things which make a person unique can let the state with the help of genetic engineering control everything. Have you seen the film “GATACA”? In this film everything is controlled by the genetics. Imagine a world in which every step you make is controlled by the state. I ask you, is this still a life?

Personally I think genetic engineering can be very useful. In my opinion it’s a good thing to help people but the human should not play with the genes.

Set up is not important

Set up is not important
In the past just the traditional family existed. Nowadays it is normal if someone is divorced, lives in a blended family or in a forster family. In my opinion it is not important in what kind of family you live. The only thing that is important for me is that you get enough love. In the following essay I will explain you why love is the only thing for me which decides if you live in a good or a bad family.
As I said before for me only love matters. Also in a traditional family are problems. There could also be domestic violence. Especially in the past in traditional families domestic violence was day life.
On the other hand I understand if people say that it shouldn’t give gay families. I don’t think that they aren’t as good as other parents but most people and children couldn’t accept things which are different. I think the children of a gay family would be bulled in school so that would be just a con.
Also that single parent families have not enough time for their kids is a big partiality. I think that is wrong, sure they have to work the whole day and so their children are alone at home but is that really a con? I don’t think so. These children learn earlier to look after them self.
Nowadays I think the primary is that you have friends. When you have real friends you don’t need a family than your friends are your family. Above all in the puberty the most teenagers accept their friends more than their family. Their friends understand them and feel with them. Sometimes you don’t need someone who is related by blood, you need someone who likes you and really tries to understand you.
To sum up I have to say again that just love matters and I hope that I could show you that it isn’t important if you are a traditional family or something else. If you have a family or friends whose love you should be lucky and try to show the every time you can that you love them. You should never take them for naturally because if you don’t guess them you will lose them and never get them back.

Dreams

Dreams

Everybody has dreams. Some of us have the ability to navigate them, this ability is called lucid dreams, and others have nightmares. Dreams influence us, sometimes in a good and sometimes in a bad way and exactly there the opinion of the people split.

To start with the positive site of dreams we have to accept that dreams are very enjoyable. Our body, especially our mind could relax what involves that we won’t get crazy. Also a lot of supporters argue that dreams can help us to solve problems and to cope with stress. A special form of dreaming is daydreaming. Here the people not really dream and also if we only escape for a few minutes from our problems we can relax and feel much better.

In contrast to the positive sites of dreams also a lot of people think that dreams can be terrifying for example nightmares. Nightmares could be very difficult to understand and to see the positive site of them if it’s possible. People with nightmares can fall asleep what causes more and more stress for the person. Also the above positive called daydreams could be negative. If a person daydreams the whole day he will miss a lot of important things like in school or at work.

To sump up it’s difficult to say if dreams a positive or negative. For our body and mind dreams are the best thing to relax but in the end everyone has to decide for his own if he or she likes to dream or if he prefers to have no dreams. Thought not everyone has the ability to navigate a dream so we only can accept if we dream and what especially if we think that we forget the most of our dreams before we awake.

Letter

Dear __

In this situation it’s maybe a stupid question but how are you? At first I couldn’t realize that something like that could happen to a person at my age. Only to read what happened to you was a shock for me so I could imagine how you feel in this moment.
At my point it’s easy to say what you should do. If you should tell someone maybe your parents or a friend but if I were in your situation I would also run away from my problem but you have to accept that this is the wrong thing. I mean you didn’t kill him designedly it was an accident. If you accept that you may be able to tell someone what happens and may one time you could forget it.

I understand that you don’t want to go to police and tell them what happened but than you may fell better. So you have all the time feeling of guilt.
I think it was a good idea that you write a letter which contains what happened. For me this was the first step and now every thing gets better.

If you ask me you should tell it Macy she would also be shocked but I think she would try to help and understand you. Not only because she was the only one who always noticed that something was wrong and she could help also if she didn’t talk that just her attendance makes you feel much better.

In the end it was the first step to write the letter. Now you have to find a person you can trust it doesn’t matter if it’s Macy, your father or a policeman. I’m sure one time you will find the right person after this happen you will see every thing change.

Book review

Book review

Paranoid Park

Paranoid Park is written by Blake Nelson who lives in Los Angeles. The book was published by Puffin and released in February 2008.

The book is about a boy, we don’t know the name because it’s a narrator, who loves to skate and so onetime his best friend Jared take him to a skate park called “Paranoid Park”. At this place only the best skaters of Portland and ambit skate. Shortly before the narrator and Jared wanted to go to Paranoid Park Jared cancelled the arrangement. Although the narrator has doubts if he should goes alone him he goes. There he meets some street kids and with one of them he goes train hoping and there the terrible thing happens. After this happening the narrator’s life change completely.

The main character the narrator is a typical 16 years old boy. He is a skater and so he loves to skate, hang out with friends and relax. It’s very difficult to say something about his character because in this book we just see one side of his character. So in the book he is a very uncommunicative guy who always wants to saves his problems by himself and so he gets just into more problems. One reason why he is so uncommunicative is maybe because his parents will be divorced so he couldn’t tell them because the have enough problems.

The book is written like a letter in which he tells the only person he really trusts every thing that happened and how he feels about that all. I think it’s a perfect book for young adults because it contains a lot of topics we are interested in.

I don’t know if this book has a message but maybe it should show as that it is sometime better to talk than to keep it in private.

For me this is a very good book. I like the topics in this book maybe this is because I’m a girl and so I automatically I like every thing that is dramatically or that contains with feelings.
So I give this book the rate 9.
