Animal Farm review
Animal Farm is a story of hope. The animals all work together for one common purpose.
When the animals run off the owner of the farm they set up some rules to go by; They basically form their own way of living.
When some disagreeing occurs Snowball is run off, leaving Napoleon to take lead.
When Napoleon changes rules and takes over the whole farm, things go crazy. Animal Farm is never the same.

Spring Break Reflection
For Spring Break I went with the band to Orlando, Florida. I had a lot of fun there.
We went to Islands of Adventure which was a whole lot of fun. There was so much to do and so little time. My favorite rides were Jurassic Park and Dueling Dragons. I got pretty wet on Jurassic Park. On Dueling Dragon I rode the blue dragon.
We also went to Medieval Times. I love horses so i really enjoyed that. They were beautiful. We were on the blue team. The knight for the green team didn't like us very much. We all enjoyed booing at him.
While we were in Orlando we played in a contest. The awards were presented at Universal Studios that night after the contest. We were very pleased when we found out that we had won first in a division AND best overall score.
I had a lot of fun over my Spring Break. It was very enjoyable.

my favorite techie web-based tool!
My favorite web-based technology tool would probably have to be thesaurus.com. Anytime I do not know a good vivid word for something, I look the word I need a vivid word for up on thesaurus.com and find a good vivid word for it and use it. Thesaurus.com is very easy to use. All that has to be done is to go to thesaurus.com and type in the word in the search box and hit enter. It is very simple.

To Perfect My World...
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.
