Blog Promt to The Giver

The year is 2026 and the world had been destroyed completely by a massive nuclear bomb. Miraculously you did not die! Write the story of your experience and what you were to do next! Explain how you would start over, the things/people you encounter, how this new world would look and function etc...



Great evrything is over now! At this point I am the only one who survive

d a nuclear bomb. I now have no parents, no food, no nothing but the pair of clothes that I am wearing right now. Despite all that has happened I actually feel happy. I am a tough girl. I'm not one of those cry girls that wants to die because she is the only one left. I am not scared nor worried. My name is Amanda. I am 12 years old and feel like I can change the world world and start it all over with my ideas. So let us begin this adventure.




Firstly let us begin with the people. The peolpe in this world would be veru kind and equal to each other. All the skin colors would be diffrent. The jobs in the communtiy would be diffrent and assigned like in the book giver but every job would be a job a person might and they would be all easy at times and difficult. The money and the houses in the family would be the same size. Nice big private hoses with personal time and space. The money would be a similar amout in each family.




Then the stores would have nice clothes, food, etc. to match all the needs of its customers. There would be no crime or enemity in the communtiy. There would also be a family unti. Each family can have up to three kids in each unit and there would be a female and a male. The grandparents would live with them or by themselves. The communtiy would be a very friendly community. If any rules are broken then just like in my favorite book the giver the peole would be released in to distopia spciety. Ouir communtiy would have color and climates. Our communtiy would be a utopia socity. That is what I am going to start beginning to buld on a few days. Till then see you later. Bye!!!!!!!!!

Albert Einstein







Albert Einstein is a very famous scientist for many of his accomplishments and discoveries that affect our world today. Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, in the Kingdom of Württemberg, which we now call the German state of Baden-Württemberg. Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955 and lived up to the age of 76. The century that Albert Einstein lived in was the 21st century.
Albert Einstein studied in many areas of science. Some of the areas that Albert Einstein studied in were how science currently views time/space, energy, light and gravity. Most of Albert Einstein’s accomplishments in these areas were theories. Albert Einstein major accomplishments in how science currently views time/space were one his theory which stated “That time is not constant as is light, the faster one goes, the slower time is, even though that person does not feel it as being different”, “One practical use for this is knowing that there is a time difference the closer you get to the speed of light” and “There was a Russian cosmonaut that spent 748 days in space (roughly 2 years). That man is now 0.02 seconds younger than he would have been had he never gone to space, because of the slower time in space aboard the MIR space station. For him it doesn’t make that much of a difference, but let’s say that someone wanted to travel to Alpha Centauri, our nearest star. It would take them 5.7 earth years, however they would only age 3.8 years and return at a younger than expected age. So time it is relative, while light is constant.” That tells me that the point of his theory was that time in space is a lot slower than time on earth.
 Albert Einstein major accomplishments in energy was his theory on energy which was “Most everyone has heard of E=MC2, this is the famous equation that shows the relationship between Energy and Mass .It was once thought that Energy and mass were different, however Einstein’s theory states that Energy and Mass are merely different forms of the same thing, similar to Ice, water and gas, all are forms of liquid. Not only that Mass and Energy can be destroyed and changed into one another, as stated in the light theory above. Speed up enough and you will have a gain of mass because energy has turned into Mass. Our sun is burning up hydrogen, turning it into energy that we perceive as light. Since the source of hydrogen is not infinite, the source of light is not finite. However, we have nothing to fear for several million years.” This theory tells me that mass and energy are different and that energy can turn into mass.
Albert Einstein major accomplishments in light were that he first thought up of the "Thought Experiment" and came up with the special theory of relativity in which he stated “that light is constant, unlike the wavelike picture that the scientists of the time had thought it was. Not only that, it is not possible to travel faster than the speed of light 186,000 miles/second (300,000 Km/second). Light always travels at the same speed whether it is on the headlight of a train speeding down the tracks or the light on the lantern shining on the tracks. The light itself always travels at the same speed.” This tells me the speed of light and how it always travels at the same speed.
Lastly, Albert Einstein major accomplishments in gravity were first he added to Newton’s theory of gravitational pull by stating that “not only does the apple fall to the ground because of gravity, but earth’s orbit attracts asteroids (and other space objects) because of the "dent" the earth makes in the "fabric" of space. Thus, giving us the power to our advantage as a "parking space" for satellites in our orbit to use for our technological advantages. It has also been used to get men to and from the moon.” This tells us that gravity is not only in some places but all over. Those were some important things about Albert Einstein and his life earnings.

               Do you think twelve-year-olds are ready to choose their future careers? In what ways are twelve-year-olds in our society tracked ino their future careers? What Life Assignment would you like if you had to choose right now? Explain.



               I don't think twelve year old are ready to choose their future careers. I think that because as an exmaple my self. I am twelve years old and I do not feel like I am ready to choose my future career. Also because our minds are still growing to becoming more mature and responsible. I don't think we will fully choose what will come out right for us. So that when we grow up we will have a more accurate career to help us fully get a lot out of it.



                There are many ways that twelve year olds in our society tracked into their future careers. Some ways are by school, their interests, and their parents. In school techers and students learn about everyday careersa nd the real world which helps them choose their careers. They also are tracked in by their interest because when they grow up whatever career their interests match up to that is the career that they may choose. Lasty, thay are tracked in by thier parents. They are tracked in by their parents by whatever carrer that their parent may have they may choose. That is because they are encouraged when parennts talk to them about how they enjoy their careers.



             

The life assignment if I would have to choose now is to be a lawyer. I like to solve cases or help the people that are telling the truth recieve justice. Also my aunt is a lawyer and whenb she tells me about how much she loves it it encourages me to want to be a lawyer. This is the career I want when I grow up.
