My Bad Dream Of An Essay

[Thanks Lesley!  Thought this posted Friday but it got stuck in Drafts. -dp]

Treat the following like your own personal Mad Libs.  Copy and paste the following to a post on your blog [title: MY MAD DREAM OF AN ESSAY]. Fill in the blanks to write your own story.  Then answer the prompt at the bottom.  Feel free to spoof this, play with a friend or relative, read it out loud at the Thanksgiving table, etc.

Remember that time you ate that spicy [noun] just before you went to bed on the night before the big [event]?  Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election.  When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the [adjective] details, but after reading "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder" it's all coming back to you now.

The dream started badly.  You were in line with your family at a [place] waiting to be sent to [a place you don't want to go].  Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect [goofy name], looking like a crazy [animal] who could eat a whole [noun].   

Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "[your favorite quote from his essay]."  You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to [verb].  But it wasn't easy.  First you had to put on a fancy [noun] and [noun] and then you had make a [noun] to go back in time to the [public place] so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the [political issue you care about most].

But right there in the [public place] there was a giant [noun] and it started [verb] ing at everyone.  People started to [verb].  You grabbed a [noun] from a nearby [noun] and yelled [something important you have to say].  Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.

[Here is where your essay begins.]

Write a speech in which you explain how the choices we make in this moment influence the future.  Using at least one example from your life, one example from "On Self-Reliance," and one example from "A Sound of Thunder," tell your audience how our thinking and our actions create our individual sense of self and the society we all share.
   


I think both of the stories are great. They both have ways in how to succeed in life. Or also in ways in how to control yourslef.Different types of quotes that help out people. Just like makeing decisions its either a good one ir a bad one that will make things go wrong!

Response!

Well the guy basically paid 10k to go back in the past.He was a hunter but he and his men went back into the past and hunted T-Rex dinosaurs! But they all had guns and back then they werent invented yet.

Presentation Notes!

Satchels:He told us to not get angry all the time we can control it. That way if an accident happens nobody gets mad at eachother and evrything comes out good!
Kahoot Presentation:it was a fun way to learn!

My Emerson

I tried uploading a picture with this but it didnt let me.

"Nothing Can Bring You Peace But Yourself"

This is one of the quote i like the most because its practically saying if your not nice to the people they wont be nice to you neither! So treat others the way you want to be treated! I like how emerson would give out all these quotes to prove a point!

What ive learned!

something i have learned from reading all emersons quotes is that he would like to help people and make them realize real stuff. Like one of them was to always depend on yourself  not someone else.

EMERSON SAID IT!

1)tust yourself! : to be positive about yourself.
2)Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. :you decide if you want peace or not.
3)society is a wave.The wave moves onward, but the water of which it is composed does not.
4)The civilized man has built his own coach, bit has lost the use of his feet.
5)Do not seek for things outside of yourself.
