People with power always want more power. Agree or disagree with that statement. Use examples from your own life, literature, or history to support your argument.


Not all people with power necessarily want more power, but the reason why most people believe that is because people with power tend to become selfish and care a lot about what the power has to offer them. Say you are the mayor of a city, the mayor would have all kinds of benefits and rewards by being the mayor and who wouldn't want that? 
People with power obviously got there with some effort, so it would not be entirely too hard to gain more power. If you take a look at history many great leaders got to where they are by taking subtle steps toward the big prize.       (prize being a high ranked authority) 


But it also depends on what kind of power we are talking about...the leget power where authority is ranked. Or power being a more theoretically term where saying someone is powerful by the things they do and what they accomplish. A powerful person could also mean strong and courageous. 
In that case many people with that kind of power are most of the time happy that and don't want anything more. To receive that kind of title they would have needed a lot of work to reach that goal, and where else could you even go?

If you had to survive out on your own, what would be the easiest part for you and what would be some of the more difficult aspects of surviving outdoors on your own?


For me the easiest part of living out on your own in the outdoors would be...
There is less pressures like you have in everyday life, there would also be less distractions out in the woods so things would get done a lot faster. A strong part of surviving out in the outdoors is being physically and mentally stable, so not having others around would help you stay on track.
A hard part would be the physically aspect, staying healthy and well hydrated is key to survival. No water or food no energy, being sick the less you are able and strong. 
To survive you need to have a well skilled mind and body.

Some of us grew up in wealthy families, some of us were poor, and some of us were somewhere in between. How has your childhood financial situation shaped who you are and how you deal with things, people, and challenges?


Your finical situation has shaped how we deal with things, people and challenges because ...


For people growing up in a poor situation probably his would make them value each other more and care for each other more, but in a richer society people will tend to take others for granite and have a more "only me matters" mindset and would care less about others. 
The challenges would also be different for a poorer family and a richer family. In poor society people probably will have more challenges to face, such as sickness(and not having a treatment), having no freedom in their society and small necessities such as going to bed hungry that people in a richer family would never have to worry about. 


For most rich people everything is perfect, they have someone to clean, take care of their children and drive for them. But for a poor family all of that (and probably more) has to be done all by themselves. A poorer family doesn't have the luxury of everything being done for them by a maid or nanny. 
This makes life outside of the rich society hard for people who grown up living like that. They don't have the knowledge to of doing anything without help. 

BLOG PROMPT 3:

Describe your best friend (you may choose to name them if you'd like). What is he or she like? What about them makes them your friend? To you, what is the most important thing for friendship?

For me its hard to have to chose one best friend. But I would have to say one of my best friends if I had to chose it would a girl I knew in Canada since I was like 6 named Emma. So we pretty much grew up together...kinda. 

Emma was really fun and she loved to talk. Her and me were so much in common so it was easy for us to do stuff together. Emma is such a good friend because we were so comfortable around each other and we could trust each other with anything we told.

To me friendship needs two things: honesty and love. You need to "love" the other person in a way where you respect each other and care for each other. Honesty is important also because it would hard to keep a friendship strong without being honesty.

Blog Prompt 2

What do you think your greatest strengths are and why is it an important strength?

I think that my greatest strength is being optimistic. 

Being optimistic is important, staying positive will get father in life then staying negative. Optimistic people see the glass half full not half empty, and in life that little bit of positivity will always make other people around positive as well.

Blog Prompt 1
What is Brabury saying with the way he ended the book?

During the last parts of the third chapter we begin to see Montag becoming a new person, beginning a new more meaningful life. Welcoming him back from the dead, the acceptance of the "Granger group" helped him reach what he wanted to become. Brabury implies here that a journey of pain, which Montag was part of helped him become this new better version of himself.

Montag is also starting to see things that he could not earlier, he remembers where he met Mildred seconds after he pictures her dieing from the explosion (he feels a connection with her that he could not have while she was alive). Granger's grandfather's story reconnects Montag with his wanting of a meaningful legacy, something everyone would remember him for. Brabury is trying to say how once we get rid of whats taking over our life we begin to see the little things that were blinded before by something less important.

When the bomb hits the city spilting it into two, Granger comments that they will first need to build a mirror factory, so that the people can take a good look at themselves and realize what they have done.

"And on the either side of the river was there a tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits and yielded her fruit every month, and the leaves of the tree were for healing of the nations." This quote was one of the last few sentences of the book, this quote is from Revelation 22:2.
Montag sees a connection between the end of time they call the "Apocalypse of the bible" and the destroyed world of where Montag lives now. The very ending sentence "When we reach the city" implies the connection perfectly.

Brabury ended the book very well, leaving the people wondering what will happen to Montag and more importantly what will happen to this sinful world, will Montag make his mark by changing the ways of the people?
