Fame

I agree with the statement. The famous statement means that even when you become famous, you're taking the chance of becoming a nobody. When you are famous, you will think about all the good days, and you won't work as hard. THEN, you face the danger of becoming a nobody because people might start seeing your lazy side and stop supporting you. So there are many privileges and pitfalls of fame. First, a privilege of fame is that you earn a lot of money, and everyone supports you when you want to speak. But a pitfall of fame is that you face the danger of becoming a nobody in a second and drop suddenly to an a lot lower level. When you're nobody, there's a chance everyday that you will improve and become famous (to rise to a higher level; to feel good), but if you're famous, there's a chance everyday that you will make a mistake and become nobody suddenly (to drop to a lower level; to feel bad) This is what I think about fame, and here are the privileges and pitfalls of fame.

What is a Haiku Poem?

Haiku poems are a type of poem from Japan. A haiku poem is usually made out of 3 lines only, but sometimes, it is made out of many stanzas of 3 lines. In every Haiku poem, the first line has 5 syllables, 7 syllables in the second line, and 5 in the third too. But if the poem is longer, the same pattern repeats in the next stanza. There may or may not be any rhyming of words in a haiku poem, most people use end rhymes in haiku poems, but some people don't. Below are some examples of haiku poems I got from the internet.

An example of a long haiku poem:
Powdered sugared pines
Red berries in furry caps
Landscapes transforming

Snow Angel canvas
Fragile lazer-cut crystals
Glorious quiet

Brightly shining fields
Soft gifts from Heaven on tongues
Earth's winter fur coat

An example of a short haiku poem:
Falling to the ground
I watch a leaf settle down
In a bed of brown

This is basically what haiku poems are.

Cultural Difference Experience

Once I went to Australia and lived with a homestead family, they cooked everyday to eat, and once they decided to cook rice since they thought I would like to eat something I'm used to. So they cooked fried rice and gave me chopsticks. So then, I picked the bowl up and starting eating it like the person eating rice in the picture below...


Suddenly, I noticed that everyone at the table started looking at me eating rice. I stopped and looked back at them. Then after a while of awkward silence, the girl Simone, about the same age as me asked me if that was how we ate in Taiwan... Then I understood, it was because the way I ate my rice that they stared at me. Anyways, I told her that usually when we eat, we pick the bowl up and eat to prove what the person cooked was delicious, and that I liked it. After this confusion, their family tried picking their bowl up and eating the way I did. But some of their rice ended up all over their clothes. And I thought to myself, is it really that hard to eat with the bowl in their hands?

Genetic Experiment - A Cheeturake






The picture above is an animal species i want to create, it is called the "cheeturake". I will genetically combine cheetahs with turtles and snakes. This way, this animal will have the speed of cheetahs, the shell or shield of turtles, and the deadly and poisonous bite of snakes. I believe this species of animals was really created, the animal will have a big snake head, strong cheetah legs, and a hard bullet proof turtle shell combined together as one. This animal will be very deadly if it was real, it would give an animal a deadly bite, swallow the whole animal body, and run away. And if people are after it and it's still not fast enough, it can duck into it's turtle shell and protect itself from the attack. This creation would cause many animals to go extinct I believe, and it might reproduce with some animal and make more of the kind. At last, maybe they will be ruling the world, and no other human or other animal would be alive on the planet Earth. Cheeturake is a protected, fast, and deadly animal, check under your bed tonight just in case a cheeturake is planning to murder you at night... (just kidding)
