Ironman 2

This weekend my brothers and I saw the new ironman 2 in my opinion this is one of many sequels that is not as good as the first movie. I think the plot line was very poor they the producers tried way too hard to make the movie cool with a lot of special effects and what they should have focused on is the plot line. Compared to the first movie it was poor Robert Downy Jr. the main character was not himself in this movie and I think taking that out of him was a poor choice because he fits the character of ironman very well and that is why the movie plot line was very dull. In conclusion I think that they added a lot of parts that were not needed particular with the Russian man Ivan who didn’t make a very convincing villain.

Forgotten Fire Essay

Imagine being stuck in your country and having your own government turn on you. The book Forgotten Fire is a tragedy, with many different connections and symbols.
To begin with Forgotten Fire is a tragedy. This is because Vahan the main character does have a raise to power, this is being wealthy, having a family and lots of good friends evidence of this is on page 4, “In 1915, I was twelve years old the youngest and most respected Armenians in Turkey.” Vahan has many tragic flaws some of these flaws are trusting the wrong people. On page the scene takes place in Vahans families garden. The police is talks to his mom as Vahan holds his brother and sisters hands. Then the police man looks all of them and says, “You all are coming with us.” In addition there is also a tragic fall this is when his father is taken away and he does not come back. Also his brother are killed in the family garden. This is the tragic fall because when the soldiers of you own country kill you family Vahan knows thing are going to get worse and he might be the next one to die. Lastly what makes the book Forgotten Fire a definite tragedy is it ends in death. The books ends with just Vahan he is the only one left in his family of 10. The rest are all dead.
Secondly this horrible tragedy also has many connections to our world now. These connections very having two army’s fight. There is a death march in the book just like in the real world. Evidence of this is on page 47, in this scene Vahan his mother, sister and grandmother are being lead by the military and none knows where they are going or what is going to happen. Next there is also a connection on illegal immigrants they were not allowed across the boarder without letting the government know.
Along with many connections there are also many symbols in this novel. These symbols are a baby, and a barn. First off the baby stands for many things in Vahan life such as life and friendship because in the later chapters Vahans meets a girl named Seta she has a baby and then gets sick and dies, but the baby will always stays in Vahans hart and will always remember his one and only love Seta. The Next symbol is a barn in the middle of the book Vahan is taken in by the old governor as a stable boy. He was in charge taking care of horses and cleaning up after them this barn acted like Vahan room will always be a horrible memory of what the governor was like.
To finish off with this tragedy with many connections and symbols shows us all how much insanity the world had that it all turned out ok.



Analysis of forgotten Fire
I compared this essay to some of my other ones and hands down I am depressed about this one I had no text evidence from the book. In addition my word choice is the worst it has every been I dare anyone that reads this essay to find at least one good thing about this story and post it in comments.

Causes for the civil

There were a lot of causes for the civil war one is a Abraham Lincoln being elected for president he wanted slaves to be free. In addition the south wanted more of a democracy and wanted to be free from the union. While the north wanted to be more of one united country. Another big cause of the civil war is Economic and social differences between the north and the south. In addition the south didn’t want to pay taxes to the north this is because none of the money was going to the south to help with what needed to be fixed. Also the north was buying the raw cotton and turning it into fixed goods the south was not a big fan of this due to the fact that they don’t get a profit of the finished goods. Also there was a big growth in the Abolition movement that held some very violent protests in the south. These are just some of the reasons that the south attacked the north in the Civil war.

Track

We lost are first track meet ever cense middle school began. This is a new start to a very successful track season next year in my beliefs there is no other thing that makes people work harder and failing at least once. In addition failing makes you stronger in a way because if you don’t fail once you will never figure out what you need to improve on for example I didn’t do very good in the track meet over all but at least I know what to improve on in the future and that will lead to bigger and better things in life.
