Napoleon's Theme Park

If I were Napoleon's theme park creator, I would add various of things for children to go there while getting interested in history. Such as, Merry-Go-Round Horse (Horse is like a French Revolution styling), Bump Car (the car is painted or styled as a horse), Shooting game (where us the people shooting will dress up as an French army and shooting the Army in Great Britian, we are in war so to speak).

Even though I am 14 years old, I will still go to the Them Park. SInce I would like to learn History while Enjoying it. Literally, this Theme Park isn't teaching us, but making us interested on history and learn form it. Also, I would suggest that they should put Josephine as a part of the Theme park, Napoleon's beloved, and make a couples river travel or somemthing since Napoleon really love Josephine and he did anything to win Josephine's love but I guess he failed. I want for Josephine to be here because not just children will, come but also couples. Usually who comes in amusement park are teenagers couples, they can share there love while also learning and getting interested about history.

They might learn that napoleon and had done many interesting things in his era. I think when they see this themepark they might be interested of how they get the games' names and will search it in interent and with that they will learn something from their research.

Courage.

         For my opinion,  courage is something we developed or produced not born with. For example you are climbing a mountain even though your are afraid, you still kept moving forward because you want to overcome your fear. After, you overcome your fear you became courageous then you will feel better, mentally or physically stronger, and do more things that you are afraid to do. As just  Edward Vernon Rickenbacker  said “Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing.”. 

        Yet, developing courage is a very slow progress since sometimes you do not face you fear and just let it be or you think about negative ways that will happen when you do it, in order words you are afraid of rejection. Like, I developed my courage because I talk to some people and face my fear, and now I am slowly advancing my way to more social life.

        Confidence also comes with facing courage since when you face courage you overcome your lack of confidence. There is a lot of explaination of why confidence is such as big deal to human life. Such as society makes us doubt ourselves and that  makes our courage rise or lower. Our courage will rise because when we question ourselves we are more aware that we should not be the one who will change but the people or  society should. In other words we are thinking more positively than negatively which is a type of moral courage. It will be lower because it lets our self-esteem lower that makes us shy which also lowers our courageous development. Taking action can be virified to ourselves that our decrease of our confindence was based on opinion not reality.

      You can developed courage whether it is physical, social, moral, intellectual,and spiritual courage. The progression of courage can happen all the time.

Is a colonist a patriots or terrorist?

    During our Socratic seminar discussions, we talk about about the smuggling of the tea by the colonist in December 16, 1773 and they called it Tea Party. But, if it's for the British official point of view, smuggling could be a result of death. During the seminar, someone ask if the colonist could be referred as patriots or terrorist?

For my opinion, I will say they are obviously a patriots. For me, what they are doing is a good thing since they cannot help but smuggle goods because it is the British's fault for giving them a high amount of tax in materials/goods. Remember "tax without representation", British soldiers just barge in someone's house in order to see if they bought any smuggled goods and just take them away without the owners awareness. Also that act violated the rights of the people. That also made the Colonists anger since they are the ones feeding those soldiers because without the Colonists, the British won't have any money to feed the soldiers, when the Colonists is already poor and the British want to have more money?! I think the British is just being spoiled that they are getting the advantages with the help of the Colonial people. So, I say, they have a right to rebel for their opinions as John Locke has just said about government should listen to the people's point of view.

              Today we are starting a quad blog. It means that our class can communicate to someone else by blogging and such, and that is totally cool man!! Well anyway, our class are blogging in many different countries and that is Virginia, Manchester, and some place in America. We are all excited for that and hope that everything will go as we planned like we can all comment and no difficulties will come, so everybody can enjoy their blogging time!! and I hope, whoever reading this blog, will have a good time too.

               I really enjoyed blogging since it can improve my grammar in english and it can make me have new good friends!! and I would love for you (whoever reading this blog) will come to my blog often as possible as you can so, I can know you much better. AND dont forget to comment! ^^. 
 
               Now, I will talk about my school which is really awesome!! (not that yours, are not. youre school is awesome too ^^) Anyway, we do a lot of events here like, today we just celebrate the father's day here in Thailand by having an entertainment such as dancing Thailand's traditional dance, well I don't know their dance since I am not Thai and some people also wrote some poems or something, and I hope I got picture of it so I can share it to you, but unfortunately I dont (Sorry). Sadly, this is the ending of my blog for now, but I cant wait to write another one. BYE!! <3 Hope you have a great day.  and here is some word for the German people "Liebe Blogging"

The Flood in Thailand

  The flood in Thailand did not affected me that much since the water did not came in my place but I am sorry for those people who was. Anyway, my parents decided that Bangkok is temporary not safe because they taught that the water might be contaminated so, they decided for us to evacuate and went to saraburi, Saraburi is good but we have to pay the Internet about 150 bath for hour and its the truth!! and that is not cool, plus we almost dont have place to stay because all the hotels are fully booked!  Well anyway, my dad volunteered for helping the people who is affected by the flood and I was not there because it was for his work but I really want to be there though. Oh! the place he volunteered to is Ayutthuya. Which is the place where it was affected very badly by the flood. ( I hope the people there are OK)

  

   This flood may affect Thailand by lessening the amount of foreigners going to Thailand since they know that it is flooded and far as I know many people are also going back to there homes because of these. ( When I say people, I mean foreigners, like myself.) But the problem is, most people can't go back home! because airports are also flooded! So I really hope that it will be alright soon, at least it can improve Thailand's floatation devices.

Thailand Flood

    At the time of great sorrow, I am really sorry to hear that about 400 people was killed during the flood. However, I am happy to know that some people are using/showing their great ideas to help
 other people that has been affected by the flood, for them to ease this great burden such as making life-jackets made from empty plastic bottles and improvising flotation devices made from styrofoam blocks to float cars to safety which is pretty smart thing to do and other people are using Internet to know more what to make or what to do during floods. This examples are really helpful, for the people that got affcted by the flood since this can prevent some people that do not know to swim to float and it can also  prevent some of their cars to wreck.

    I myself also found a great idea or examples to add, and that is to build a plastic boat made from recylcling platics or trownaway plastics (not waterbottles) because if people use boats made from woods it cam reduce the amount of woods in Thailand and as many of us know, trees help flood to lessen by absorbing the water, so why not build a plastic boat?

IDENTITY

For identity, I choose to do what you want to do or just be yourself.

I choose this two topic because my book which called "pink angels" reveals my identity because this tells me  that to never do what people want you to do if you dont like it, since this book has 3 main characters in it but I forgot their name, well anyway the 1 other character always boss around her friends and the girls get annoyed by it somethies, yet they cannot say that they dont like what they are doing because these 2 girls are afraid to ruin their friendship, so they just go on with it, and when time goes on they realized that what they are doing is actually fun. Just like me because I always complain (in my thoughts) that I dont really like someone to order me around or saying to do or go that way since I am a free person but later on I noticed that doing something you don't like might be a great experience in your life, that is because, since you didnt like to do something, so you never tried it. That is why it is a great oppurtinity for people to do, what they dont like to do. Also, I did not finish the book yet so I dont know  the whole story, these are just a brief information.

Now, I am going to talk about, just be yourself, since based in Verdi book, the main character doesnt want to change and want his yourger self to stay forever in order to not be the same as the boring and rude snakes that he knew, however he still grow up, even though he tried many things to not get older but he noticed that eventhough he got older he still himself and nothing can change that. It is just like me because I always thought that I am not that fun to talk to and tried to be talktive as much as possible ( back in the phillipines)  but people sometimes got anoyed by it , however back when i am quite people usually befriends with me and talk to me a lot eventhough I am silent/ or do not talk much so I realized that I should be my old and not talkative self since that way I am much more peaceful and comfortable for what I am and it is still me no matter what i do. So, better be just myself then.
