Snapshot of WV in Autumn

             Fall in West Virginia is a such a beautiful time of year. All of the orange, red, yellow and brown leaves hanging loosely in the trees and lots of them fluttering to the ground. When walking through the scenic season, with every step you take, a crunch follows, for the leaves are crumbling beneath your feet. Don't be alarmed when a hear a loud whistling noise, its just the autumn breeze blowing through the trees. Bundle up for the nippy weather may get so cold it'll start to snow! The best part of all is the smell of apples and pumpkins. The moon shines as bright as the sun at night, showing all the beautiful sights of fall all hours of the day.

Powerless

In the end of the novel, Lennie was unable to change the fact that he had killed a puppy and Curley's wife. In this situation, he really was powerless and was only able to run. Lennie really had no alternative choice or decision to make.

An example where I have felt powerless is actually something that happens more than once in a life time. Seeing a friend upset or hurt puts anyone in such a powerless position, especially if your friend you are trying to help pushes you out. And this really puts you in a powerless position being unable to help someone you care about.

A Perfect World

A Perfect World in my eyes wouldn't consist of perfect people, perfect buildings, a perfect government, or a perfect place. It would be as it is today with a few changes. No one needs to be "perfect" to make up a "perfect" world. Being who we all really are makes up the perfect world we live in today. Some people may kill, steal, lie, cheat, or just be mean, but without those people, we'd be missing a whole part of our society. They make up this perfect world just as much as the nice, smart, caring, truthful people do.

Changing the world to be "perfect" in some peoples' eyes would be changing the world to be the complete opposite of perfect to me. Things being perfect is everyone and everything being imperfect. Our individual personalities make up our unique "perfect" world. You cannot really create a perfect world. You just live in the world you were given and be yourself. Making the best of what you've been handed.

Our perfect world consists of imperfect people, making good decisions, making bad decision, people who think they're perfect, working too hard, trying too hard, and not being themselves. Also there are the hard workers, the over achievers, the bums, the people who make up the government, and the rest of the world. Labeling people though, does not make a perfect world. Being who you are all the time is what makes up our perfect world. The best way i can describe a perfect world is by just using one word, today.
