Perfecting the world would be a very hard task to accomplish. It would take many many years to complete.
As for my perfect world:
1) No violence. Yell and scream about a problem all you want, but no hitting, punching, kicking, etc. anyone!
2) Everyone is given a second chance. People make mistakes. No one is perfect, so i believe everyone deserves to have a second chance. When someone messes up, they would be given a warning and then in the second offense, the person would be punished.
3) Only people that are fit to be parents would be allowed to have children. No teen pregnancies.
4) Less drama. Everyone would avoid conflict as much as possible.
Basically, my perfect world would be almost completely free of violent manners.

The Call of the Wild Review
In The Call of the Wild by Jack London, Buck is forced to live the life a sled dog. This book was a quick read with a very moving story. It held my attention very well.

Just when hope seems to be lost, Buck finds a friend in John Thornton.
Buck's true desire is to join his companions in the wild. Does he? Read and find out!

Antigone review
Antigone is a woman with disregard of the rules. This takes the spotlight in Sophocles' play Antigone.
Antigone has lost not just one but both of her brothers in battle. Since one of her brothers, Polynices, left the city and came back to attack, Creon ordered that he be left unhonored.
Antigone must choose between following the rules and honoring her family. Antigone is willing to die for what she believes in.
This play, just like in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, a love is ruined by deaths before their time.
Although this Antigone was written in a different time period than now, it is a moving story about a woman with enough will power to stand up for what she thinks is right. I highly recommend this story.

Taking A Stand
I was sitting in the building waiting for church to start of all places and i overheard some of the girls discussing some horrible and vulgar assumptions they had thought about one of my very good friends. They were calling her nasty names. They said that she was a slut, and they went on and on using names that I cannot repeat. They then proceeded to accuse her. They said, "She is always out drinking and smoking!" I decided I was going to say something. I told them that she was a wonderful person that did not deserve to be treated in the way they had been treating her. I also told them that they should find something better to do than sit around bad-mouthing people all day. They ended up telling me that they would not talk about her like that again and they apologized to her for talking about her in the way that they had.

Julius Caesar-Friendship
From this play I learned that friends should be chosen very carefully. Just because someone seems to be a good person doesn't mean that they are.
Julius Caesar thought that his friend Brutus was loyal, but Brutus turned against Caesar. He ended up helping in the plot to kill Caesar.
I also learned that staying loyal to your friends brings reward, while not being loyal to your friends brings consequence.
Brutus and Cassius, two men that helped in the plot to kill Caesar, later died, but Mark Antony, who did not help, was rewarded.
