January 11 Homework

1. Life in Vietnam would be perfect if everyone were totally equal. Do you agree or disagree?Explain your answer in complete sentences.

I disagree. I would never have a chance to enter this school if everybody is totally equal. Equalize mean no ideas no technology nor develop. Everybody will satisfy with what they got because they cannot get more. Every country must have leader so what is a point of total equal if one person controlling everybody else. To reach a totally country, there have to be civil war. People will rising so it will lead to death of thousands of people. It will takes a long time to get everybody equal so why should we waste all the precious time for an insane idea.

2. You are designing a society in which everyone is equal. What are the laws?
1. Anybody that are different will be capture and put into a training camp.
2. No creativity. Everybody should do what they ask to do.

3.What would you do to help people who were less capable mentally, physically, or socially to “catch up”?
1. If they have mental disability, they will have to go see the doctor and try to cure it.
2. IF they have physical disability, they will get a mechanic replacement and training.
3. If they have social disability, they will be force to overcome that problem.

4. What problems can you foresee that might come in a society with laws that force “equality for all”? How would you handle those problems?

Some smart people will start to questioning and try to create a resistance. I will try to kill all of the resistance so that they will not dare to rise up again.

5. Do you believe that total equality is possible, or would human nature make sure that some people would eventually dominate others?

The idea of equality never existed in my mind. Personally, like to be different then other people, i don't like to see every body do same thing as me. The idea of equality created a lot of chaos from history into now and might be in the future too. Most people who believes in this idea are leader of a country or some one have a lot of power because they can secure their throne. In every ways, people will rise up and people did, in history and why would they not do it in now. Equality only satisfy the leader, no one want to live in a coffin and cannot see the sky. People will rise up against that idea and equality will and never did stay strong.

6. In what situations have you felt similarly to any of the characters? What persons, places, or ideas from your own experience came to mind while you were reading this story? Try to list as least two examples.

The ballerinas were wearing mask to hide their beautiful face. I some time wear a mask too, but it's an emotion mask to hide away my feelings.
George have to wear a device that make weird sound to distract him and he will forget his thought. I really do forget things when I got distracted. Sometimes in class, I forget what the teacher said 10 seconds ago.

Migration

The train started to move leaving from behind my hometown. It passed through old farm fields that I used for a playground when I was young but that was 10 years ago. Now I’m eighteen, I have to go to the city for university because back in my rural hometown, there are no collages or universities, It has only an elementary school, middle school and high school. I know that I will have hard times fitting in when I move to the city. I have to learn the way urban people live. I have a headache because my mom always tells me to stay away from society problems. I decided to go the city not just because of university, there also many opportunities for jobs and business.

The city is a lot different than countryside. Money is very important in the city. I cannot rely on my family because they have enough problems of their own. I am the only child, I had to help my parents a lot in the farm. I am afraid that they cannot do it on their own so I will try to study as hard as I can and also I will work a part time job so that they don’t have to worry about me anymore. I go back once a while when I get the chance, I promise to myself that I will never forget about my hometown. It is like a shelter for my heart and when I think about it, it helps me to get out of strain.

Computer World

During the occupation, the Virus discovers that Computer Land rain a lot. The whole idea about the occupation is about the electric mines. The Virus running out of electric because they only have three mines but the Computer World have way more mines then that. Most of the citizens in the Computer World lives near the RAM river to have easy assess to the water because it most of the mines locate out in the ocean. The Virus blocked all of the entrants to the ocean so that the people have to pay for them for electric. The Virus cannot adapt with the raining climate in the Computer World because in the Virus World, there is no rain, only desert so they have to move back to the Virus World but some still stay the continue the occupation.

Many of the Virus soldiers are dead be cause of the climate changing. That makes it easier for the underground resistance. The resistance are making plans for years and finding a good time to attack. The resistance led by a person call Microsoft. The head of the resistance is in the wires forest because that the place where the virus never go in. It has many rains, all year long and it can help travel information fast. Not may people live in the wires forest because there is no food, the wires tree cannot be chopping down, and the forest is very dens so it will be easy to get lose. The resistance has to know very well about the forest for make it to be there head place and them have to depends on the food sources outside and it have to move carefully.

The development of chip farms help the resistance to get more advance chips so that they can upgrade the anti virus groups. The number of the Virus soldiers still decreasing. The resistance group moves out of the forest and relocate near the river so they can easily move. The Anti Virus groups started there attack, first in the village near the river where most of the Virus army stay. The Virus army surprise by the attack and they try to contact to the Virus World for back up but the signal get blocked by the Anti Virus. The Virus are out number and they are hopeless. Most of the army killed by the Anti Virus and some surrender and get in jail located in 40 degree South and 55 degree east. The Anti Virus groups quickly put up the Ice Wall around the border of the Computer World to keep out the Virus.
