Alright i need someones honest help because im at a loss!!!!!
Today in my Writing for Publication class we had a really big discussion about America. But mostly we talked about why Americans think that it is necessary to buy an excess amout of things that they dont need? IE: mercedes, big screen tvs, and other things that people in other countrys do with out. We talked about how people who work for little money and are just getting buy live in cluttered little houses but in the corner of that house there will be a big screen tv and a 1500 dollar computer. Now, im not saying that people cannot have those wondreful things (ha) and anything else that they aspire to own but what im saying is why is it necessary? And worse off some of the poeple that feel its necessary to have these things are workoholics. Whats wrong with that?.... right? Well let me tell you... ssome of these workaholics that are putting ever ounce of their energy into making money to buy fancy things are missing the bigger part of life. They are filling up their life with unnecrssary abject that are killing the relationship that they have with their family, stressing them out, and alot of other things that can be avoided. Why do Aericans feel that its necessary to have thesee things to be happy? BECAUSE AMERICA WAS BUILTT THIS WAY. America is built on making people feel asif they need to buy the biggest expensive things that they can. The sad thing is that with out all these people blowing their money on all these things oue economy would die. and some day its just going to blow up in our faces. Im sure of it and thats a damn shame.
But my peoblem is how do i take all of that and make it into a short story with out blatantly stating my problem and coming right out with everything i just said!. How do i write the next Animal Farm (well sort of) ??? SOME ONE HELP THIS IS FOR SCHOOL AND I COULD REALLY USE THIS IS MY LIFE.
Tonights home work for writing for pub. was to list or write out the things that are imprtant to you...the things that concern you. i thought that maybe id rought draft in my live journal.
***If you want me to be completely honest with you a big important and concerning thing in my life is love. Im so terrified that im going to end up alone for the remander of my life. i know its pathetic but its true. Ive been let down and dissapointed to many times before and i dont think that i can take anymore of love bullshit. I just want to be happy.
****Another big concern in my life if global warming. Oh man oh man global warming. It was never a big issue for me but recently its got me terrified and i wish that i could stop it...but hey im no wonderwoman.
**** TECHNOLOGY TAKING OVER THE WORLD. Its going to happen i swear. And im scared shitless about it. I have nightmares that tech. is going to soon take over the world and enslave us. I DONT WANT ROBOTS CLEANING MY HOUSE, BABYSITTIG MY KIDS, MAKEING MY CLOTHS. Poeople need to realize we are human and we are capeable of doing these things ourselves and we should. Were better off that way... i swear<3.
****kids these days. I go to gloucester hight school and i have to deal with the most wanna be ghetto punkers ever. EVAH. Everyday of my life i deal with kids who think that its cool to be a fuck up and a low life. Come on kid Gloucester is no Harlem. iT scaeres me to think that this is the future generation and this is who is going to be running our pathetic country. GOD PLEASE HELP US. I wish that they could just wake up. Anarchy is out....and reality is in.
***The people in my life are important tome. everyperson i have ever met even just people on the street is impoortant to me becuase they have effected my life in some way. When some one smiles at you that brightens up your day and effects every decission that you make for that day. thus importance. I love my friends and family (even though i dont really show it that much and i probably never will) i love them non the less. :)
