This idea came to me as I was reading a symbolic book of Irony. It was almost as though I wanted to get to a Romantic world. This piece is just an idea of the Stream of Life. Please Leave Comments.
I walk down the lightening path
As kayaks run down the stream
The fish jump
And the snails inch their way across the stream floor
The water crashes up against the rocks
As the sticks slowly float down the stream
The leaves float down from their trees
To the ground they fall
The tree's leaves turn red and orange
as little of them are green
It's like the joy of a light
and the warmth of a fire
I walk down the narrow path
Trees surrounding
The rocks crackle as the leaves crunch beneath my feet
With every intent of stopping my journey to happiness
All of life flows
With life's end in the question
And so many living things
Rejoice that they are still alive
And I walk down the path
And sit on a rock
As I slowly take a dip
In the Stream of Life

Nietzsche's Quote in Fahrenheit 451
This piece is a response to the quote “What doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger.” These ideas flourish in my head as I write this piece. It makes me think of who I am. It also strongly relates the book Fahrenheit 451 which my Language Arts class is reading at the moment. This quote relates to life as we know it and strongly relates to the scene of the book. Its sole purpose is to relate to the heart and not the mind.
“What doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger.” These words are from Nietzsche. The quote really speaks to the book. It has a way of speaking to the scene very clearly. There is nothing like the pain of Montag. This portion of the novel speaks to this quote and reflects upon it. It is the awakening of a new life of Montag. It opens his soul to new options. New paths to take. There are so many ways to go, and so little time to choose.
Montag has gone into quick sand and was buried up to his neck and he slowly works his way out but is constantly being pushed back down. What Bradbury is trying to say here, is Montag isn’t dead, and his pain is making him mentally stronger, and physically bolder. His mind is running in so many different directions during the scene. He is in so many different places at once. He’s pulling himself out of the quick sand again but is likely going to be pushed back down by an unknown force yet far.
Montag isn’t dead. He has been close to it many times but he has slowly grown stronger throughout the book. He has gone closer to death by opening his mind, but farther away from insanity. His mind is strong than it ever has been and is constantly getting stronger. For this reason, he is fighting to stay alive because the government is going to eventually target him because he has the brainpower and the soul will to do anything. He has been close to death which has made him stronger. He has been through the worst and he has made it through. He now knows that since he made it through those rough times, he can make it through anything.
This quote is strong and can relate to "Plato’s Allegory of the Cave." People in this world don’t accept change and don’t want change. Montag has broken free from his chains and his finally seeing the light and is going back into the cave to tell everybody else that there is more to life than what it seems. The people do not want change and now Montag is in a run for his life. He is dodging bullets left and right and is trying to get to a place where protection is key. He is running away from fear. In the book, the helicopter is trying to find him and hunt him down. The helicopter represents fear. It is trying to kill him but it hasn’t. That goes back to the quote. The helicopter by not killing him, is just making him stronger.
What Nietzsche is trying to say is in order to succeed in life, you need some kind of pain. Pain is what makes us stronger as people. He’s trying to say that when you have pain, it’s making you stronger as a person because you have been through the worst. You know what it feels like and you know from experience what to do to get out of the mess. It makes you stronger as a person. Not only does it make your mind more awake and immune to the situation, it makes your makes you a better person at the soul.

Nature
Author's Note: Nature is a majestic wonder that if not on this earth, we would not be here to this day. I got inspired to write this when I walk home and see all of the wonders around me. Hope you enjoy.
The water drizzling down the waterfall as i walk down a steep hill to get to the riverside.
The bird speak as I lay silent by the river.
The fish jump as the frogs croak as they get their last meal of the day.
Winter is approaching and chipmunks scurry by in a rush to store up for the cold, harsh winter.
Deer run as the gun shots go off in the distance.
A badger creeps out of its hole as it goes to find its dinner.
A bear roars as it roams around the woods with its cubs.
The snakes slither in the grass waiting for a victim to strike.
An eagle soars majestically above as it makes its landing in a tree and finishes its nest.
The majestic nature flourishes to this day as we see all around.

Fear
Author's Note: This piece came across my mind in sort of a doubtful way. I see fear everywhere. At school, on the street, in businesses, etc. Fear gives me inspiration to go out in the world and do something about it. This piece is more about what I see and what happens all around us but we have somehow become immune to it although it is not a human characteristic that we would not like to be tagged with. Hope you enjoy.
Fear is a word that is used throughout the world. It has become something that we see every day but yet, do nothing about because it has simply taken a seat in the back but leaves a shadow over the world. It's not so much what we want but what some of us just have had to deal with for as long as we can remember. Some of us simply take it as a slight blow to the chest, but it sometimes comes in a powerful punch. Some fight against fear but get nothing back. Not a battle one. Not a dent in the core. Nothing has become as strong as hate has.
Fear has become something that no one can stay away from. Nothing can challenge it and nothing can go against it. It has become a part of everyday life as we know it. Some don't even think about it because we simply don't recognize it. We just see it and we don't think much of it. We see it as just a tiny scratch in a car. We don't realize what it could and might become to be. Nothing seems to be able to confront the enemy that has grown to become something that people see every day. Nobody recognizes the issue that has confronted our world with such power, but seems to be unnoticed.
What our world has become to be is a dystopia of fear. Fear is like a black hole. It takes you in and never lets go. We see it every day, we just are too stubborn to admit that it is there. We refuse to even look and see the marks that it has made on the earth as we know it. It is all around us but we don't notice it because it is a casual thing for us. We don't pay attention to the damage that it has done to our core. We don't realize what it does to the inner core of us as a whole. Instead of a world of love and hope, fear evolves us into a world of hate and unforgiving people. We don't realize what could happen if fear keeps eating away at forgiveness and love and infects them with a disease of hopelessness.
Fear is a harsh world that we never pay any attention to. We don't realize what the world will evolve into if we don't keep the love and hope that is still in this world. Without love and hope, we will be nothing and fear will eat away at love and hope and will completely turn our world into a turmoil. We need to keep the fear out of our lives and create a clear path for love and hope to get in and put a gate in front of the fear that is thriving in our hearts.

The Mind Game
When is the last time you've heard of a boy and his employer going to dig up famous people's skulls to study the brain and some one's characteristics? Well that's the exact case for Matthew, an orphaned boy after his whole family died from the cholera epidemic. He has had to dig through trash cans, make shelter out of the streets, and survive with no money. Until now. Dr. ABC and Matthew will go on a wild ride to find the perfection of human kind.
Matthew Morrissey was born and raised just as every child is. But once death strikes his whole family, he is on his own. He lives on the street until one day, he comes past a help wanted sign for Dr. ABC and his phrenology business. He goes to the address that it says on the sign and ends up on the fourth floor of an apartment building with a short, plump man named Dr. ABC. Dr. ABC is in the business of phrenology which is the study of the mind that can detect a person's personality and characteristics. Dr. ABC hopes that some day, he can make man-kind perfect.
To truly test Matthew's loyalty to the him, Dr. ABC, puts him to his biggest task yet. Dr. ABC and Matthew go to the prison to dig up none other than Henry Bedlow. Matthew was tentative at first but eventually followed through with the plan. Dr. ABC wants Matthew to become his apprentice phrenologist when he grows up so Matthew studies many subjects including french, Latin, biology and many more subjects. For now, Matthew just cleans up around and helps Dr. ABC with his appointments. Dr. ABC's business was running really low and nobody was coming. Matthew decided to make a sign and the people started to flood into Dr. ABC's workplace.
Once Dr. ABC and Matthew got enough money, they moved onto many many more cities. Well there was one major news line that came up. The French were going and digging up Napoleon Bonapart. This was great news for the two for he is one of the greatest leaders to every step foot on the earth. They obviously went and while the French waited until the 25th anniversary of his exile, Matthew and Dr. ABC came up with a plan to dig him up while nobody was there. While they put their plan into action just 2 nights before his digging up by the French. They ran into a brick wall on their way. The bodysnatcher. While Gin attacked the bodysnatcher, Matthew and Dr. ABC didn't know what to do. Eventually, Matthew tried to pull Gin off because they were on the edge of the cliff. It was too late. Although Gin was alright, the bodysnatcher had fallen onto the rocks that lead into the ocean. He was gone forever. Dr. ABC and Matthew had not gone to do their duggery on Napoleon and left him to the French. They returned back to the ship with not a sense of pride but pitty for they had wasted at human's life.
Matthew and Dr. ABC were two phrenologists on a mission that is yet to be completed. Though they made a vallient effort, they did not succeed but still have a bright future ahead of them. They have created a great bond and a friendship that will last forever.
