My mad dream of an essay

    Many choices in our life now have a huge impact in what our future will look like. Same people think it's okay to do whatever they like just because they are young and they are still learning form their mistakes. But one big mistake and can cause a bad or good change in your whole life. And most teenagers don't understand that so most of them don't end up so good in life.
      All my life my parents have always told my brothers and I to stay in school and try hard and never give up on our goals. They always tell us to make good decisions and stay focused in school. All my family is like that and says the same thing to their kids. But one day my cousin didn't really make a good decision and she disappointed everyone in the family by not focusing well in the important things such as school. That bad decision changed her life forever and now she has to do double the work to raise her child. Some decisions come unexpectedly and surprisingly but everything comes with consequences.
      Another example on how our choices now can influence the future would be on "a sound of thunder". It all began when Eckel went off the and stepped on a butterfly,  this caused the presidential election . This really changed the future due to the election and it even led to Eckels death.
       On self reliance by Emerson , Emerson doesn't really talk about anything that actually changed his future. But Emerson does say to do what makes you happy and to follow your goals or your dreams. And this really can change your future in a good way if you enjoy your life and follow any dreams you have like he tells you. He also says to always be yourself and this does influence your future a lot because not being who you truly are and cause you to do things that you wouldn't do if you were just being yourself.
     In conclusion, everything we do have a big impact on our future starting from the small easy things like eating. We should make sure that our choices can bring us some success in the future. Also we should all just avoid everything bad starting from bad influential friends and bad decisions because you can mess up your life hanging out with people who have no goals or ambitions.

Emersons child

1. The way that Emerson would view the presidential election is that he wouldn't really care at all. I think he would suggest us to just move on with our lives and to not let it bother us.
2. Emerson would suggest us to follow our goals in order to learn somewhere or get somewhere. Doesn't matter where or how you learn it. I think that Emerson would tell us to just go for what you think is right to let the school tell you that you can't. 
3. I think that when Emerson says "yourself" he trying to say to be you, to be who you truly are.  Many people act different with certain people because they worry about what those people might think of them. 
4. The way I would express emersons main idea to a 10 year is just by telling them to be who they truly are. And to not let anyone or society change them who they are. And also to follow their dreams so matter how much people hate. 

An earth shattering fart

I read most of the story and it was really interesting and kind of confusing.
