Blood Dream

This is a little narative I'm writing...I would like for you to read it and tell me if you like it. It's not yet finish.

The alarm clock started to sing it annoying song indicating that it was time to get up and start another day of hell. Unwilling Isabella threw her covers off of her and swung her legs off the side of the bed. Her feet touch the cold wooded floor and she shivered. She turns around and looks at her room. It was so plain. It was basically empty. There was a bed with white sheets and a blanket that was also white; there was a white dresser, and a white night stand. The last things in her room were desk with her laptop and her lap on top. The only three things in her room that was not white. She hated her room; it wasn’t her idea to have it all white it was her stepmother brilliant idea. Lisa was obsessed with the color white the whole house was white. So to make her stepmother angry, she wore all black. She hated that woman. She was the mean reason her father acts like he was 21 instead of 48. Isabella shook those unwanted thought out of her head. And start to get ready for school. She hops in the shower and threw on her black sweat pants, and t-shirt. She put her long dyed jet-black hair into a ponytail. She went into the kitchen and pop in a pop tart into her mouth. Then she sits down and starts to guzzle some orange juice. When she hears her teenage father and her Martha Streword stepmother coming down stairs, she started to calculate how fast she could get to front door before they got down stiars. To late, they came down stairs with there fake smiles.
“What up dude?” her father said to her. She shrugs; she hated it when her father talks like a teenager with her. She didn’t want a friend she wanted a father.

“Good morning sweetheart, how was your night?” Her stepmother said, and gives her a fake mother hug. She ignores the question and said “ I have to leave earlier for school.” She grabs her thing and was about to walk out the door when her stepmother objective to her leaving. “Sweetheart, it 6:30 in the morning, don’t you think it a little to earlier to go to school? And, don’t you want to change your outfit, put on something more colorful?” What Isabella wanted to do was smack that pretties little fake smile off her face. Instead she used words to hurt her. “First of all Lisa, don’t ever call me sweetheart. I’m going to school now and no I don’t want to change my outfit, hate all colors expect for black. I especially hate the color white.” That wipe her little smile off her face, Isabella thought. Her dad smiles turn in to a frown. “Don’t talk to your mom like that!” he orders. “She not my mother! My mom die when I was a baby!” Isabella shouted and ran out the house. I hop in my car and drive really fast until she couldn’t drive anymore and pull over to the side of the road and cry.

When, she gets to school it was 7:00 am. The school starts at 7:30, so she had an hour to kill. She pulls into the park in lot. She park as close as the school as possible. She turns off her car and grabs her bag she looks into the mirror and tries to fix her smug eyeliner. She closes the mirror and get out off the car. It was very chilly for an October day. She looks at her surrounding, and smile the only thing she like about her hometown was the nature. It seem like her little town was cover with trees.

Government

What the point of government? Do we really need it? Many people have different point of views on government. Some people believe in the same point of view like Hobbes or Locke. When it comes to me, I strongly feel that government is necessary for a few reasons. Government is necessary because government provides human with direction and rules. Another reasons are that government gives people order. It also gives people protection.

Government give people a since of direction and rules. Without the government there would be complete and utter chaos. When there is no since of direction people start taking matter into their own hands. For example, in Louisiana there is complete chaos because of hurricane Karenina. There is no guidance right now in Louisiana and people are stealing and the crimes are off the chart. This is all occurring because there are is no direction going on. Another example is the “Fever of 1793” which describes the epidemic when lots of people in Philadelphia caught yellow fever and lots of people died. Soon as this fever was discovered most of our government official fled the city so there was no to give direction therefore, there was lots of crime to going on. Without direction it will be complete and utter chaos in the world.

I believe that government walks hand and hand with human natural. You can’t have one with out the other. Human are not perfect we all do thing weren’t pride of. I also believe we all have a competitive edge. For example when we did this balloon excersie everybody was cheating. No one followed the two rules we had. This occur because are teacher gives us two rules which was get as many balloon in the square as possible and if a balloon fall on the floor don’t pick it up. If our teacher gives us more then two rules and watch us more, the game would be more organize. This prove that human are natural competitive because our teacher didn’t tell us that we were competing together we just assumed that we were. We really could have work together to get the maximum point and we all could have won. Thomas Hobbes said that human are solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short. I only agree with his statement half because I believe that human competitive nature bring out the worst in us. Meaning when we are competing we are sometime like what Thomas Hobbes was saying. We need government to make sure no one is cheating and following the rule.

However, even though I believe in some of Hobbes view involving government I also believe in some of Locke view on government. Locke believes that human are have natural right that need to be protect and, the government should protect those right. If the government fails to protect those rights then you should be able to over throw the government. I do believe that we were born free and we have natural right. I also believe that the government should protect those rights. For example, in the Untied States we have certain have right and our government protect those right. If something happen were they fail to do so we can take it up with them and get our right back, like the civil right movement. A government should provide protection for there people. I agree with Locke completely.

In conclusion, I believe government is completely necessary for a few. Which are giving direction, and rules, matinee order, and providing protection. If your government fails to do that you should be able to over throw the government. What do you believe in?
