"If everyone is special, then no one is."-The Incredibles I don't agree with this quote entirely, it is true that if everyone has an ability its to be expected but go that everyone has something the other guy doesn't it could be something simple like they know how to do a card trick or something harder like they can do the splits. Everyone is different and that's what makes them special. Because everyone can do something special and make them different, unique. But if everyone is special then yes it means that no one is because the normal is being special then. It's true but also false. In conclusion everyone may be special but they're different in their own way.

Special
The quote "If everyone is special no one is." is true in some ways. Yes, if we tell everyone they are special then they wouldn't be different, and if we told every one they are different then people would just be diluted. every one is different in their own ways I guess, but if every one was different, wouldn't we all the the same? Maybe we are special in our own ways, its a confusing topic. I think that we are different than others, but I wouldn't say special.

No sleep
Using a magical time travelling rocket ship to visit a planet populated with people just like earth but they don't need sleep, many things differ like they may feel like they live longer because you spend about 25 years asleep if you're 75. People would get longer hours to work and probably longer hours in school. They would be farther along in technology because they don't take sleep breaks. Things would be higher priced and you may live longer due to the technology. Places that would usually be closed at night would be open such as water-parks, stores, the mall, and even landmarks. Popular people would be stuck for a day signing things because they wouldn't get tired. But it would probably be bad as well because people need breaks sometimes. But in conclusion it'd be pretty nice just to stay up and enjoy life.
Sleep
If we lived on a planet that was exactly like earth, but we didn't have to sleep, the world would be so much different. We wouldn't see all the pillow or mattress commercials on TV. We also wouldn't need thing like medicine or special medication to fall asleep. I think I wouldn't like the planet because I really like to sleep. Then again, we would have a lot more time to do things. We would also probably have more meals which i would like. It would be very different.
Sleep
If we didn't need sleep, life on earth would be a lot different. We would get more things done, and scientists would have more time to create new inventions. Kids in school wouldn't be as tired and they can get better educated. The world would evolve but it also could hurt some species of animals such as nocturnal animals, it would stress them out a little because at night it wouldn't be as peaceful as they are used to. Yes, it is a good thing that humans can evolve, but sleep does feel good sometimes.

Minions
If I had a set of minions for a week I'd do many things like having them build me a mansion since I cant do anything illegal or immoral. After that I'd have some of them get a high paying job so now I have income and a house. Some of them happen to be good at making clothing so I sell the clothes to a very high rate company that will buy it. After that I use the money to hire people to work for me so when the weeks over I have a high-rate business of selling clothes and I make my own line and pay influencers (popular people) to wear and say to buy it. Then I expand even more as I buy restaurants in case my clothing fails. As by now I'm extremely rich and as I let the money come in I begin to buy some rich peoples small owned items. Now I'm on the way to being one of the richest people to exist. In conclusion minions and me would be a bad idea if you plan on being the richest person out there.
Minions
If I got a set of minions for a week I would have them build a house or some structure. The minions would build me a house. I think i would also have them make a play or something funny. We could make a show for others to come and see and then I'd make the profit. They're funny little creatures so people would like to come see the show or play. They would make me rich. Even tho the money isn't really what i would enjoy, it would just be having them around because they're funny.
Minions
If I had a set of minions for a week I would make them do everything that I don't want to do. I will have them do my homework, my chores, and have them make food. It's not necessarily wrong to make them do all those things, I'm not forcing them to stay and pretty much be my servant, they choose to. Having minions could be an advantage for both of us, I supply food water and shelter, and they supply happiness for me. Too bad its only for a week.

Which door?
If I had to choose a door from the choices Narnia, lord of the rings, Monsters Inc. and Hogwarts to enter that realm I would choose Lord of The Rings. I would get to meet some of my favorite characters like Gandalf, Aragon, Legolas, Gimli, Merry and Pippin, Samwise and Frodo. Considering this to be after as its probably not a good time to go there as an ancient dude and his minions are trying to take over the world. I could go to Rivendale and go to Bars and visit the forest with the Ents. But in conclusion it'd be an amazing place to go to from the valleys the the mountains.
1¢ per calorie
If calories were one cent per calorie adding up to your meal I think that people would eat less. The rich would become more obese to prove their wealth. The poor would barely eat at all. I think it would change peoples eating habits a lot as eating a snack would cost more than books. people would not eat to save money and learn to fast for weeks at a time until they are to weak to move. Some would rob places for food and a McDonald's would make them rich calorie wise. Conclusion if we had one calorie for one cent we would probably not make it a year without someone going cannibal.
Calories
If the healthier food were cheaper than the unhealthy foods I think people would buy the healthy ones. If someone walks into a McDonald's and sees that a cheeseburger is $10 and then sees a salad is $3 then they will probably pick the salad. However, there is snacks in stores that are super bad for you and have an outrages price and yet people still buy then other than an apple for cents. So restaurants can't really pick what their customers choose because some would still pick the cheeseburger. If I was that customer I would rather eat the cheeseburger because well it's a cheeseburger, but the salad is cheaper so it would depend on the day.
Calories
If the price of food was based on how many calories there are in that food I think people would be a lot healthier. I mean if you don't you really like unhealthy food. People would also probably start watching how much they spend on other things so that they don't have to eat salad for their whole life. We also need to consume calories, we need calories just to operate, it keeps our heart beating and our lungs breathing. So if you want to live I suggest saving a bit more money for food.

Bow Ties Are Cool
Bow ties are cooler than regular ties, they come in more colors and designs. They brighten the work atmosphere as they aren't just a boring blue tie. They also bring a touch of the 1900's in as they were very popular. Regular ties take to long to put on when you can just clip a tie on. You also don't need to worry about spilling something on your tie or needing to straighten it. In conclusion bow ties are much more efficient than just regular ties.
Bow Ties
Bow ties are so much cooler than regular ties. They have so many more advantages. The bow tie is a bow not a giant arrow pointing at your feet. Its also smaller and easier to handle. A regular tie just get in the way you even have to have a pin to hold in to your shirt so it doesn't fly everywhere. A bow tie you don't need that fancy clip. Also if you're wearing a bow tie you look a lot friendlier. Bow ties are just a lot better.
Bow Ties
Bow ties are cooler than regular ties in my opinion. They are cooler because they look professional yet fun at the same time. They are a great thing to wear to weddings or church. I think bow ties are going out of style though, and I don't think they should. Bow ties have been around for ages, so why should they die now? Just because they are old doesn't mean that they aren't cool.

Bad Book Scenes
If I had to choose a scene from a book that I didn't really like the scene in War Horse where Topthorn dies. I don't like this scene because it is really sad and think the story would have been better with him. I don't like the part of the story when it happens because in the book things are just starting to get better but then that scene happens and its very depressing and disappointing. Topthorn was one of my favorite characters and I think he should have stayed. He at least it could have been more sad if he died at the end.
Bad Book Scenes
The scene that I wish wasn't there but it important to the story is in the fifth Harry Potter book. The part I didn't like was when Harry kissed Cho. I don't mind kissing in movies but when it happens in a book they tend to describe it forever which kinda grosses me out. The reason its important is later in the story Cho is forced to tell a teacher where a secret place is and dis earns Harry's trust. If she never kissed him then she wouldn't of ever had his trust. I kind of wish it never happened in the book but without it then it would've made the story different.

If I could have a concert in my living room I would have Micheal Montgomery as the opener, and George Strait would probably be the Headliner because most of his songs are fun and energetic, maybe not his new songs but his older ones I really like. He is a pretty famous country singer and I Think that every one would enjoy him. My headliner, Micheal Montgomery, because he has songs that I personally enjoy, and he doesn't have so much as fun songs than just downright good songs. Some of my favorite would be "Amarillo by Morning" and "I ca still make Cheyenne". I think both of these singers are really great.
Personal Concert
If I were to have a personal concert in my living room and have and opener and a headliner, my headliner would be Chris Stapleton and my opener would be Morgan Wallen. I would choose Chris Stapleton because his songs have really nice meanings to them. I chose Morgan Wallen also because I really like some of his songs. I'm not a fan of a couple of Morgan Wallen's but others I really like. I would like Chris Stapleton to play "Parachute", "Tennessee Whiskey", and "Millionaire." For the opener I would like Morgan Wallen to play "Sand in my Boots" and "Wasted on you".

Boring Class
If I had to make a book about how to survive a boring class I think every kid in the world would read it. Some strategies would be maybe to learn some of your teachers fun rules and make the best out of them. If your teacher lets you eat in class, bring a snack you like. Or if your teacher lets you chew gum in class, Pack your face full of gum. The most important thing you need to do is your work! If you do your work you won't get held back and have to do it all over again.
Boring Class
If I had to make a strategy to survive a boring class I would probably do something weird. Something like putting my pencil on the floor and rolling it around with my foot. I would also just look around and try to notice the little details about the classroom. Or if it was really that bad and I had nothing else to do I would just pay attention to the teacher. It's not that hard. If I was completely out of options like I got done with an assignment I would read.

The Frontier
Frontier
I imagine the frontier as a place in Canada or Alaska with mountains and a lot of trees. A place like that where there's no people and we have very little knowledge about. Where the wild still runs free and human kind doesn't build a raging city on top of it. A place that the only noise may be a rushing river, herds of animals, and wind in the trees. You know, the kind of place they do documentaries about. A place that only mother nature and God have changed.

Factions
If I was divided into a faction of Divergent, I would probably be in the faction the brave. I don't really think twice about doing things, I just do them. Also I could be brave enough to protect others and stand up for them. I wouldn't fit in the smart category because I'm not that smart, also I'm not interested in learning so much as doing fun things. I think that all the virtues of the other factions are just as important, they just wouldn't fit my personality, for example I'm not selfish, but I'm not perfectly selfless either. I think that all the factions could come together and make this world a better more diverse place.
Factions
If I was in the book Divergent I think I would like to be in the Erudite (the intelligent). It is very important to be smart. It would be very nice to be smart to like hatch evil plans and schemes. Other people wouldn't be able to trick you into things because well you I would be smart enough to know. I think that knowing certain things can get you about anywhere. People would know that they can't mess with you.

Raptors
Imagine that velociraptors ran free just like deer. How would our rules change? Well first of all we would need something like electric fence in the playground yard to keep them out and then another fence inside that to keep the children away from the electric fence. We would also have to have a strict rule that NO food not event the smell can get outside for the raptors to smell it. We would also need some kind of fume that they don't like. You know, kind of like the stuff you use to keep bugs away, but for dinosaurs. We might also need the rule that kids cant bring things like balls or jump ropes or even shovels because what if they throw it over the fence? What would the raptor do? They might find a way to throw it back, eat or even use it to get to the children's side of the fence. Or on the other hand the raptors might be nice like deer and just hang around and try not to get hit by cars. Maybe they would be nice to kids but you can never be to safe!
Raptors
If Velociraptors roamed around in the wild just like deer, I think the human population (or any population) would be a lot lower. But keeping schools safe would be a struggle. Some rules I would put down would be no feeding the raptors food and I would have a 50 ft tall, raptor prove wall or really big fence around the school area so the raptors can't get in. If a raptor does get in somehow we will all quietly go down to a really big room that that has a lock that we can lock behind us, because according to Jurassic Park they can open doors. Also there will be a rule that no student will go outside of the wall or fence until granted permission. Raptors are dangerous, so there must be many precautions taken.

Life Online
As a society, have we gotten to caught up one what others think of us and not enjoying what is happening? Yes, I think that it shouldn't matter what we look like online or to another person. All that should matter is if your enjoying the time you have on earth. If your going out of your way to make an impression on other people, then your not enjoying yourself. If you want people to like you then don't fake to be someone your not or have something you don't. It only makes you miserable. Just do what you like and enjoy personally, not what you think others will like you for. Your opinion of what you put online is the only thing that really matters. Don't let someone else tell you how to live your life.
Life Online
I think that we get so caught up in social media and trying to impress others on the internet that we don't enjoy the moments that are happening right in front of us. We want others to see what we want them to see and we never appreciate the good things. Life is too short to be wrapped around likes, comments, or even others opinion about something. I try not to live like this, I'm barely on social media, I like to be outside instead of staring at a screen. You know you only live once, so I try to do what makes me happy and I try not to care if people judge me, But I'm not perfect. When we were kids we didn't have phones, we went outside and enjoyed life, we didn't look at people from the internet and get jealous.
