Bucket list

Dantes Inferno: Dante Alighieri

I have always been interested in dark ages and what goes on in it. Dantes Inferno describes a man named Dante (obiviously) exploring Hell. I personally am fascinated by Hell though being a Christian I do not wish to visit. I also want to compare a persons version of of todays standard with the 14th centuries.

Purgatorio: Dante Alighieri

My want to learn more about the dark ages drives me to continue the Inferno series as I now call it. Dante now has traveled on to Pugatory which is considered the waiting room. I persoannly do not believe in Purgatory, but it does sound interesting.

Paradiso: Dante Alighieri

The last book in the Inferno series tells on Dantes adventure through Heaven. Now this is the ultimate goal of all Christians so naturally people like myself want to hear what is awaiting us. Lastly this will have furthered my knowledge of poetic verse with the version I have.

Odyssey: Homer

This is a study on Greek culture over everything. I have always loved Greek mythology though and just bits of the story I have heard have been excellent. The story tells of Odysseus who conquers a city and is cursed to no return to his homeland for a time period.

Iliad: Homer

This is the prequal to the Odyssey, but in this it tells of the battle and fall of Troy rather than the journey back home. This one peeked my interest with the tale of battle and fall of the great city Troy. Which is theory later became the Romans and conquered the Greeks again.
Anna Dressed in Blood: Kendare Blake

With the beggining to read a few pages it already tells of paranormal activity. I am a skeptic to paranormal stuff so it caught my eye. In the short summary it also tells of how he kills the the dead. The book is about a boy named Cas Lowood who apparently goes around slaying ghosts.

The lost hero: Rick Riordan

This is about a boy named Jason who has lost his memory and now seeks it back. I have read the Percy Jackson series which are some of my favorite books. It also tells of more Greek mythology which I am a huge nerd for.

Inheritance: Christopher Paolini

The last book to Eragon which a boy named Eragon hatchs his own dragon and now tries to topple the evil empire that Lord Galbatorix. The past three books have been amazing as I have read them so I expect very much the same from these.

Daughter of the Drow: Elaine Cunningham

I have never read any of the authors books, but it a a good review from R.A. Salvatore whos work I love. Liriel who is a drow seeks the world of light and wishs to venture there. Dark elfs have always been my most favorite fantasy races out of them all.

The Sword of Shannara: Terry Brooks

The book sounds really interesting just from the summary with being a big fantasy geek and all. Shea is the last of her bloodline that can use the Sword of Shannara to save her land. My dad who is a major book worm has reccomended this to many times.

Titantic

     The ability to forgive in any situation I have not been in makes it so my opinion cannot be true to the fullest. However I believe that I could forgive just about anybody for being ignorant in the times of the Titantic. The captains and officers of ships can be very busy all the time with several tasks and employees on his back. Many people who survived and did not come back most likely did not be able to grasp the whole situation, let alone the fact that they need to save others.

Was it to soon?

     Throughout life People die at all ages, and from many different ways. Babies in the womb to elders barely surving by machines. So why does it matter when a person really dies? Does anybody "ask whether it was too soon" for many of the babies to die, yet some of humanity lets action like abortion happen. Wiesenthal presents the question of whether it was too soon for Jewish children and people up to their early twenties were too soon to be gassed. True they never should have been gassed, but these people could have easily died from some other natural cause. Death comes to all ages though and each person has his or her own hour glass that slowly runs out. By ending someones life you could be saving them from future torchers of life, or traumas like adultry, corruption, bankcruptcy, ect. Although you could be holding them back from the joys of life as well. Even the little things in life like even a simple hug from the mother.

Should a person have forgiveness?

Imagine that everyday you try your hardest to help countless patients to be rid of their disability or sickness, you spent countless hours trying new ways to cure the cancer, but nothing is advanced in the end. Who could stand to watch them suffer and wallow in the hand of death? Although one day one of them comes up and offer the idea to kill himself with your help so its as quick and painless as possible for both himself and his family. Would this be such a crime to end another human being suffering when they infact want to? It may be horrible to think of at first and punishment would have to happen in the law. Though we have to forgive the doctor and step in his shoes before we make judgements over another persons fate, when they tried to help another. So why would you call this man out of the crowd, call him a cereal killer, and spit on him, when you most likely would have done the same exact action.

Hope

     Candy has been made out a frail old man, called a cripple, and then companions come along. He offers them funds and time to try to fuel their dream; also he tries to hitch a ride along. His stump makes him nearly unuseable. If the boss fired him, then he would last a few months at most with what he had. Candy has had this deep yearning to know that he does not have to provide for anyone else, and that he could make it on and job he could obtain.
     Candy strives to make himself worthy of a job, and still has concern for his job. The mindset that he will get "[canned]... purty soon" is what keeps him working. His determination will not stop even though his working years are numbered. The only thing that could stop him is his old age. The downside of "losing" his "right hand...on [the] ranch" proved to be challenging. By saving up most of the money; he proved that he is clever, and has restraint. The boss could have recognized this and provided him with a more suitable job.
     Fretting over the future Candy will never know where he will live. He "wisht somebody'd shoot" him "but they won't do nothing like that." When Carlson shot his dog it brought the thought that no one would make sure he did not suffer when he was as poor as the dog. No human would let him go, because of the fact that he is human too. Candy "won't have no place to go, an'... can't get no jobs." The Great Depression was raging, and the homeless shelters were full every day. Even if he can get into one, he would not make it back each time.
     Both George and Lennie are the cause of such great hope and disapointment. Lennie "shook her; and her body flopped like a fish" when Curly's wife died. Candy had such hopes in these two. While Lennie inknowlingly was able to crush what high hopes he had. "Three hundred, and [he] got fifty more comin" was what was going to be given for the house. Candy heard George talking this over and jumped right in. He also had the idea to work as a cook for George.
     Even though Candy has been let down, lost hope, and will lose his job. He never falls short on will power. He keeps on going. No one can deny that he has been through alot, and still can renew his hope.

Keys

     The air is calm as the bright red cardinals and eagles, magnificent as lions, scuttle through the air. People have gathered in front of the alters of the churchs to bow down and worship God. Later that day most would chew down breakfeast at Mcdonald or Ihop, the others would go home and eat a bowl of Captains Crunch. Outside a mother squirrel is nuturing her babies. Eventually a light snow that would melt in warm hands would settle in. However today the skys are clear. The sunshine settles on the fresh paint, and through the multicolored windows of the church.
     As the pastor begins his sermon with a gulp of his cool water, the followers settle down. Huddling near the church, the animals listend quietly. The scene was still. A petit girl reads a book titled "Be the key." A rainbow of birds sets themselves on the powerlines as they peer down with sharp eyes.
