Paper Work~
So it's weird how everything works together. For instance, yesterday I worked on two papers that were due. One was an article summary for my range management class, the other was an essay for my English class. Somehow they ended up being about the same thing. The article I read was about how we should approach environmental ethics--basically how we should look at the world around us. The essay was on the book Gulliver's Travels, and how Gulliver becomes brainwashed by these horses. I had to tell why he thought the horse-people were superior to humans and whether or not I agreed. I ended up arguing in both that everything has worth, and should be treated in that way. Everything on earth has a spirit and was created by God. Since this is the case, we should be very careful in what we do here on Earth. The same argument (somewhat tweaked) worked very well for the essay, too. In the end Gulliver was sent away from the people with whom he had become enamored because they thought that it was not good for their welfare if he stayed. This was because he was a smart human and might inspire the others to do unpleasant things to the horses. Kinda sad. They couldn't see him for what he was worth.
So...that's about all I have to say. Have a good day all!

  1. Maybe they noticed how much of his clothing was made out of leather and started getting a little nervous at his exagerated interest in them.

    Way to go in spelling weird right too. Did you put that in your first sentence just to flaunt your superior spelling abilities? :)
