Panem's government vs. U.S.A's government

      Panem and the U.S have a few things in common like their location, they both  have a capitol city, they also have a large military force. But they have many more things that are different like their civil laws. Panem and the U.S.A have a many things that are totally opposite in how they run their country and how they treat their peoples.

       The U.S.A gives all of its citizens fair chances and the citizens choose who runs the government. Panem treats their  lower class citizens like slaves and the President of their country is not chosen  the by the public but by the wealthiest people in the capitol. But in some cases they are the same their head leader is called a president their labor force are their citizen. Money is one thing of the thing that brings us closer in similartites. I Panem money is divied unequaly the capitol's citizens have all the money while the districs have little to no money. In the U.S.A were you live has little to no affect to the amount of money you earn. Yet we have Wealthy people and the middle class and the lower class. So in a sense we are very connected while very different.

In the Defense of Stolen Sleep: A Night Owl's Manifesto

       The First thought that must be going through your head must be Stolen Sleep what the heck is that. I heard of stolen pencils, stolen money or even stolen ideas. But stealing sleep never heard of. Well stealing is something i have never done with the exception of sleep. Stolen sleep is (by a definition from a friends parent) the act of waking up to turn off your alarm, getting dressed for school and then go back to sleep "stealing" more sleep before the bus.

         Stolen sleep is most common among students with difficult classes and sports after school (a.k.a. night owls) these student have this habit of stealing sleep due to the amount of home work assigned each day. But some students are able to control their time I am not one of those students. So stealing sleep is one of my most routine hobbies. Can cause students to miss the bus maybe a few times causing them to then get detentions and on and on.

         As you can see this small nap will turn into many colleges or workplaces don't take you in because you have a suspension and many detentions on your permanent record. So as parents have always told you never to steal something. I would say don't steal sleep in the moring but to get you work done earlier in the evening.

In the Defense of In the Defense of Food

        In the Defense of Food I have to say is not a book for kids our age. But after the slow and boring introduction it actually gave us us extremely important facts on how to monitor our eating. Which for our generation it is critical for us to monitor our eating. I actually thought is was a very informative read. After I read the book I thought wow I've never know this much about food. I thought that the information was so helpful that when my mom and I ( she read the book to) go to the supermarket we imply his rules about buying food. We also imply his rules at the table.

        But there were moments of the book were I was like duh that is common sense. Along with moments like god how have we let our country's diet go to such a bad state. I thought that all he had to say was go out and join a sport or walk for 20 minutes a day. But other than those reasons I thought it was a good read. But your inclined to your own opinion.

Who am I?

       Hi I'm Cameron and this is my blog. For my first post of many I would like to tell you about myself. I haven't ever use any social networks and I haven't ever been on a blog before so I am not in my kingdom of technology at the moment. The reason for never having gone on like Facebook or Twitter or Instagram is because they in my mind are a waste of time. Hey but its ok to waste time from time to time. I waste time all the time so who am I to judge.

       My favorite thing to do is to hang out with my friends i didn't get to do much of that this summer but i hope to change that this school year.  Speaking of school we starting High School only four years left but they say this year is the hardest so study study study. Ya that one thing about my I am a hard on myself when I didn't get the grade I want because I know I didn't try as hard as I should of. I am an avid reader but only of fiction or fantasy. I also have two pets one cat ( the size of a cougar) and a sweet an lovable dog. One of my goals for this year is to have a 3.8 GPA and to become one step closer to being bilingual.
