75 Years in the Future

Hey there readers! Today, I'll be blogging about my future and how I'd like to be remembered.

Fast forward to 2090, 75 years in the future. Cars drive themselves, technology invents itself, and phones are a thing of the past. As my life is coming to a close, there are several things that I hope that I'm remembered for. Concerning my grandchildren, I would like them to remember that I was the glitter in everyones day. Following this idea, I loved being to brighten up ones day, no matter how good or bad it was. I may not be a huge people pleaser, but putting a smile on someones face is the greatest reward that one can receive (besides presents, those are the bomb). I also want to be remembered for a major contribution to society. This may be a scientific, medical discovery, I'm not quite sure. All that I know is that I want to invent or find something that forever changes peoples' lives for the better. These two remembrances help to identify the person that I am. Although I may have a sarcastic personality, I find it very importance that I don't just live myself for me. I would like to give my knowledge to others, and share with the world who I was, that is, if my life goes as planned. All in all, I hope to be the glitter in ones day, and the sparkle in major discoveries.

The Waxwork Overview

In "The Waxwork," written by A. M. Burrage, a journalist named Hewson is set out to write an entry on a night in the Murders' Den. The journalist is convinced that writing a story about this waxwork horror scene is something that comes easy to the mind, and the manager finds Hewson's idea rather old, as many people before him have attempted the same thing. When the journalist is finally led into the den, the manager shows him each wax model, a particular one being Dr. Bourdette, who is a notorious murderer. Before he falls asleep, he goes mentally insane, imagining the wax figures coming alive and moving around him, quickly writing down notes about the terrifying experience. When he finally closes his eyes, he dreams about Dr. Bourdette stepping off of his pedestal, and coming close to murdering him; the journalist never wakes up.

I find that the most difficult situation that Hewson endures is his mental instability while in the den. I find this situation so hard because the only thing he sees is a dark room and killers surrounding, "watching" his every move. If I were in a similar situation, surrounded by wax figures of murderous, I would only imagine that my mind would play tricks. Often when I am in a spooky situation, I find that my mind makes the event more terrifying than it actually is. In my opinion, I think that this is what Hewson had to deal with mentally. It's only understandable, as I would probably end up just as he did (although, probably not dead.)

Revolution

Hey there! In this blog post, I'll be talking about revolution and how I would change the events that have happened in the past and could occur in the future. Enjoy!

1. How would you want to change the world, if you could? Not all revolutions are violent wars; they are often social movements that change people’s thoughts and approaches to life.


If I were able to change the world, I would do many things. However, I think that focusing on the most important issues would be the wisest. Changing the world in a very subtle and peaceful way could allow the people of Earth to adjust, and hopefully be happy in the end. I would personally revolutionize the world by making all human beings equal. Every person, no matter what race, gender, age (or countless other attributes) deserves to be treated like every other human. I believe that inequality is a major problem that can other worsen in the future if nothing is done soon. Although gender issues were probably much, much worse in the past, we can only change what is coming in the future. That is why I would choose to end any racial, gender (and other) profiling. It's only right that every human can be as equal as the person standing next to them. 
Racial differences in pay roll
The "gap" in culture
The fight to end racial inequality around the globe



2. The revolutionaries in colonial America sought to change something...what is it you would change about our world, if you could be a part of a revolution during your lifetime?

Much like I said in the first question, I find that equality is something that could only bring good vibes to Earth. If I were apart of a revolution, I would fight for the right to be equal. For example, in the colonial revolution from Britain, the British thought that they were superior to the colonists. The colonists believed that they were better than the blacks. A whole circle of inequality flew through the colonies, and before the revolution, interactions between the colonists and British were rough. If I had taken part in that revolution, I would have fought for the right to be free from an overpowered "superior" kingdom. Although the racial inequality didn't change for a while, eventually people fought for the freedom of the "blacks" (people of color). Even today, there is still much profiling for most people of color, and I will make an effort to change that when I have the power to make a change.
