Monday Muses Childhood

For many people, including me, childhood contains some of the greatest memories and moments in their life's. Like when you first learned to talk or to read or write and walk. But some people don't realize these memories until they are gone. Like some people are in such a hurry to get older that they don't realize what they are missing, there missing their childhood. Childhood is full of wonder and as you grow up you start to lose that wonder. and everyone in the world has gone threw it, whether that person was the good or bad. My advise to everyone is that childhood is a once in a life time thing so don't waste it. Here are some of my childhood memories.

Snow, snow and more snow. It was a cold winter day in Connecticut and  I was 6 year's old. The day started as any regular day so my dad decide to spice things up a bit. After we ate breakfast my dad told me to get in the car with my sisters. I kept asking my dad where were we going he just said it was a surprise. So me and my sister's got into this whole fight over where we were going. I said we were going to buy hot ,chocolate, my younger sister Heyat said, we were going to the doctor, we all shivered at the thought. My other younger sister Amel said we were going to Six Flags. I started cracking up. Going to Six Flags in the middle of the winter! At least my guess was reasonable, I thought. Than my dad parked in front of my cousin's house. And called my cousin's out to come inside the car. I was so eager to find out where we were going so asked my cousin if he knew, he said he had no idea. Than my dad finally parked the car near my cousin's school play ground, and told everyone to get out and look what was in the back of the car. So I look and it was a sled and I started freaking out because it was my first time going sledding. I decided that it would be fun to go down the hill while standing up on the sled. When I stood  up on the sled I fell right off it and rolled all the way down the hill without a sled. Than my cousin started laughing at me so I decided to get pay back. So right before my cousin went down the hill I jumped on his back. That wasn't the best idea because we ended up crashing into a big pile of snow.

It was 12:00 am at Yemen and we were watching T.V, this is when I was in Yemen for a year.As we were watching T.V my little cousin stood up next to my other girl cousin and he got close to her ear and farted a big one. Then she screamed and ran to the bathroom to wash her ear from the "fart". Every time I think of this I laugh out load. So those are some childhood memories of me, and you should never forget childhood comes only once in a life time so don't waste it.

Ranger's Apprentice Book 2 (Theme)

Yes! I am finally ten pages from finishing this book. While I was reading this book I noticed that one of the theme was that nothing is impossible. This is shown threw out the book, For example when everyone in the kingdom thought the fissure was impossible to cross. Another example is when Horace challenged Morgarath to a one on one battle.

One example in the book that nothing is impossible is when the Kingdom thought that it was impossible for Morgarath's army to get across the fissure. So if you don't know what's happening in the book this is what's happening Morgarath want to start a war between him and the kingdom, in order to gain control of the kingdom. So in preparation for this Will and Halt go to the mountains of rain and night to steal Morgarath's battle plans. After they stole it, they read what the battle plan said,  it said that Morgarath will be attacking the King's army from the planes Uthal. So the king moved his army there waiting for the attack. The king knew that it would be "impossible" for Morgarath to get his army across. Morgarath excepted that so he built a bridge across the fissure. This part of the book proves the theme that nothing is impossible "A bridge,' he told him. 'building a huge bridge.'
Horace frowned, puzzled by it all. 'A bridge? he repeated. "Why would Morgarath want a bridge?' 'It's a huge bridge, I said. Big enough  to bring an army across. Here we've been discussing how Morgarath couldn't move an army and all its equipment down the cliffs and across the fissure, and all this time he's been building a bridge to do just that." As you can see they never expected for Morgarath to build a bridge, because they it thought it was impossible but it wasn't because nothing is impossible.

Another example in the book that proves the theme, nothing is impossible is when Horace challenges Morgarath to a one on one battle. This task seems impossible because its like telling a 5th grader to do college math. This part of the book proves that everyone thinks that it is impossible, "the boy(Horace) will have to take his chances, Halt,' he said(Morgarath). 'What chances? He has no chances!' Halt replied" That proves it because Halt said he has no chances, AKA impossible. But this part of the book proves that its not impossible for Horace to beat him, "Horace slipped the dagger free and, with every ounce of his strength behind it, drove it through Morgarath's chain mail and up into his heart. Slowly, the Lord of Rain and Night sagged and crumpled to the ground." So Horace did the impossible and with his small amount of experience he killed the evil Lord Morgarath. So that proves the that the theme, and next time think twice before saying to your friend, that's impossible.
