HERO IN A BOX:FIREFIGHTERS

I belive that firefighters are the worlds biggest heroes. They risk their lives everyday for each and everyone of us. Alot of people feel that firefighters have to put out fires and try to save the world but, the truth is they don't its just a choice they choose to make and, a risk they choose to take. People don't realize that without firefighters the world world wouldn't be a safe place.





This video gives people a chance to realize
the risks our "fire heroes" go threw everyday. I chose this video because it shows the dangers that would not be delt with if we didn't have firfighters to help us.

The Firefighter's Anthem :

Who stands the vigil while children, men and women sleep.
While they work, play and study towards their dreams ,oh so sweet.
America, the symbol of Hope ,of Life and Liberty,
Who'll protect those in dangers path, who cannot flee.Who'll fight the battle, the war that rages in our land.
The enemy of ignorance, indifference, the carelessness of man
We must never let our guard down, the fire's too fast the price too high.
The precious gift of Life and Love, we work so none might die………InstrumentalWe must never let our guard down, the fire's too fast the price too high.
This precious gift of Life and Love, we work so none might die.
Who'll fight the battle, the war that rages in our land.
The enemy of ignorance, indifference, the carelessness of man.We must never let our guard down, the fire's too fast the price too high.
This precious gift of Life and Love, we work so none might die.
We work so none might die.

The Firefighters Anthem is a meaningful song. It shows us that it is a true gift to have firefighters in our society. It discusses the fact that firefighters do the things no other beings are brave enought to And they do it with love and passion.

























I chose this image because it gives off a powerful message. It shows that these men and women are brave and strong. It shows that they are ready to take on any fire no matter how big or small.

Conclusion:
Firefighting heroes are a big part of our society. Without them are world would fall apart. They are so brave and strong we need to take me time to aknowledge their importance.

OUTSIDE READING

I have started a new book called Beautiful Boy by Davind Sheff. The books is a fathers point of view on his sons drug addiction. So far the book is about Nic (the son with addiction) comming home from college after being away for six months. He has a little sister and little brother who welcome him home with sighns that they made. His family seems to think he is better and has been sober for 150 days. He struggled with a methamphetamine addiction. While in his hometown Nic attends AA meeting. One night he did not come home on time and when he did his father realized that he as not been sober and has been using since his first semester at college.

I just finished the book. Kerry took so many wrong paths in her in life it was time for her to change. She went to college and for her a while her problem got worse. She would hook up with severl guys in one night. Still hoping she would find love. After all of her failed trials by the end of all her struggles she gains self confidence finds love and gets married.

Kerry becomes very distant from he family. She finds a new boyfriend that last a while but she cant keep him. She realizes that she needs to do something about her problem. She is going to have no where to turn and no one to lea on if she keeps acting the way she does. All she wants is for someone to her love her but she is doing all the wrong things to find  that person.

After realizing that she is just wasting her self away Kerry finds her self a boyfriend. Htey date for a really long time. During this time she discvoers that she has a problem because she cant stay committed no matter how bad she wants to. Her relationship lasts a really long time and she finally feels like she is in love. But whenever she gets to comfortable she over steps her boundreis and soon the relationship is over.

Kerry starts getting in a lot of trouble like I said in my previous post. She hosts a party at her house and it gets so bad her father makes her switch schools. There were stolen items and lots of drugs and alcohol. At her new school she tries to make a new identity for herself. By trying to become someone she’s not Kerry gets her loses control of herself and her actions she is taking. Her and her new friends go and sneak into bars and try to find different people to hook up with. Kerry tries to make herself believe that these men love her but inside she knows it’s not true. She keeps getting used and used and never seems to realize that these men don’t care about her or her feelings. I think that when Kerry finally realizes this it will be too late and she will have gone too far to ever repair the way she feels.

The car ride home from the gas staion did not go very well for Kerry. When the girls first get into the van they all sit in the back. The driver request Kerry to sit in the front passenger seat. He says that if she doesn't do so he will not drive them home, so Kerry just goes and sits next to him. While they are driving the man try's to make passes at her by touching her legs and arms inappropraitly. The boys drive past there house a few times befor they dropp off the girls just inteding to scare them a little bit. Finall they get home. Kerry doesn's tell anyone about the incident. She knows it was wrong but inside she feels sort of good about what happend because she thought no one ever thought of her in a "sexaul" way. Kerry confuses emotional love with physical touching. If she doesn't figure it out sooner or later she is going to get her self in alot of trouble.

Kerry is struggling so much with her identity. She doesn't know where to turn for the answers. Her family has been trying everything to make her feel like she belongs but nothing makes her feel fit. She goes out wiht friends late at night and her and her freinds all plan to hook up with some boys but that plan fails when the boys turn out to be jerks. The ride the sity bus back into to town only to find out that the later it is the less far the bus takes you. So the three girls are forced to get off the bus in the middle of no where. They find a gas station and inside are a few creepy older men. They offer to give them a ride the girls now its risky and very dangerous but they consider the fact that they have know way home. After the girls go to the bathroom they begin their ride with the three possibly under the unlfuence older men.
