Breaking the law, should not the be the case, but of course there are those people who do break the law.  If you are under a lot of pressure and the only way out of that is breaking the law, then i guess its okay. Maybe you can break the law because you need to do whatever it takes to not end up behind bars. Now, when it is not okay to break the law is all the time when we are outside. No man should be afraid of someone else taking ones life over anything. Breaking the law should never be the case for anyone, and i dont believe there is a right or wrong time to break the law.

Ray Bradbury wrote, " The Pedestrian" because a real life event had happened to him and he wanted to let everyone know, but in a not straight forward way. The way he set up this story was just so, different, and that amazed me, it really did. People back then had no clue what the future would have held, things back then were so different. That really amazes me how Ray had predicted cars driving by themselves, and streets being lonely in the night, and how one thing, or person can all of a sudden vanish into the dark and not a single person would know. What also amazes me is the fact that a police had stopped him for no absolute reason. Ray had only been on a walk, and yet the police had thought that was suspicious because of how rare that was. This story was set up so well. The character fit in so well and the author wrote this so well. This guy went for a walk, to enjoy the air and take a look at life, but only to get stopped by a cop because the cop was confused as to why h...

Ellen Raskin: This author has a spot in my head, ever since 8th grade. I remember reading a book by this person, 'The Westing Game" and the book has always been stuck in my head since then. I consider this author a hero because her book always had me on edge as a child and made me want to read more, though she isnt that well known, her books and novels caught my attention. This even amazes me, that even though an author isnt well known, they can still have some kick-ass books and amazing thoughts that go into their projects. Just by writing this, its giving me nostalgia of when i was young, and reading her novels. "The Westing Game" will forever have a place in my heart because the book had always kept me on the edge of my seat and made me want to keep reading, and not much books do that.

"The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend."   This quote signifies that you do not have to go all out of your way in order to impress someone. Maybe that person just loves your presence and appreciates you for just giving them your time. "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see"    I really love this quote because we humans can see many amazing objects but just look at them as if they were not important. But to others, a small object, maybe a piece of grass can amaze someone because of the way they look at it. We should all take what we see and be appreciative of them, nothing lasts forever. "What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us."  I feel like many people are self conscious about what they look like on the outside, but that's not what really goes on. We control ourselves and we are all we have. Only we know the real us. What one person says about...
