Free Write #1
By: Josh O’Keefe
If I could choose sameness or difference I would definitely pick sameness. I would pick sameness for many reasons including no war, no social classes (judging people) and many other reasons. Without war this world’s population will rise and our lifestyles will be more advanced with the extra amount of research. Also without war people wouldn’t have to worry about their country getting bombed and not having to worry about dying or getting hurt. This world would be so much better without social classes in many ways. For one reason is people will not get bullied for how poor or rich they are. Another thing is that kids won’t have to deal with racism because everybody is in the same social class. I would change sameness for a couple different reasons though. With sameness you are assigned a wife and you don’t get to pick. This is a problem because you don’t actually love the person. Also with sameness your family is not biological the birthmothers have children and they never meet them. I would not like this because then you would know that they are not related to you at all.
Even though I would rather have sameness I still like being different then everybody else. I like how in our society that we are allowed to marry anyone we want if they want to marry you. Since we are allowed to marry anyone we want we can have our own kids. I also like that your family is related to you. In difference everyone has their own unique self and ways they run their life. Like some people love life with all their life and some are ok with their lives. One thing I don’t like about difference is that people get made fun of for what they own and who they are related to. I hope this Free Write has helped you change your mind about sameness and difference.

Free Write #1 that is GRADED!
Okay here is your first official assignment on the blog that will be graded. It is a free write and is worth 10 points. (just like we do them in class) The catch with this one is that you will have one week to do it. It will be due next Tuesday, October 7th. A good trick is to type it in a word document and then paste it over to your blog. Don't post your response until you are done. You can save it as a draft until you are finished. If you don't have internet at home come see me at some point today. You also have to have at least 300 words (This post right here is about 100 words) I expect most of you to exceed this amount. Good luck! Comment on this post if you have any problems.Topic: Sameness and Difference. What is good about it? What is bad about it? What could be changed? Use what you know about our society and Jonas's society to write your entry.

Million Dollars
If I had a million dollars I would use every penny of it! The first thing I would do is buy a house for me and this will run me about 500,000. After I have a house I am going to buy a porsche that will run me at leat 50,000. After buying that I would invest in a Toilet company because toilets are cool. My toilet will be different because the water will flow counterclockwise not clockwise and it will be awesome. That will give me an extra amount of money to spend. After that I will try to start a foster child home and give all kids homes in my awesome estate. With money I can achieve my dream. -Josh O'Keefe
