Thankful for a Classmate

I am thankful for many people in my English class, however, I am especially thankful for Quincy, Sarah, & Morgan. Quincy seems to always have an answer to every one of Mr. McCarthy's questions. He analyzes literature so well, and he makes readings much easier to comprehend. We usually work together during group works, and there is never a question he doesn't have an answer to. Sarah is also very knowledgeable. Throughout discussions, she seems to always have a very different, but interesting perspective on things. Morgan just makes me laugh. When she is called on, I automatically begin laughing. I know she'll eventually say the right answer but she just has to do a little thinking out loud. Morgan helps take away the seriousness of the class. All together, I'm thankful for the class as a whole for giving me such an interesting start to the day with wonderful discussions. Happy Thanksgiving!

Principles

Throughout life, there are standards that a person keeps no matter the circumstance. These are called principles. Principles help determine the type of person you are in many different types of situations. One principle I think everyone should keep is to treat others how you would like to be treated. This is called "the golden rule" for that same reason, it is extremely important. In a post-apocalyptic scenario, this would be a key principle. For example, if one were to rob a person of all there belongings, they should be expecting someone to come and do the same to them. Karma also plays into this principle. If you treat others well and respect them, you should receive good karma. However, if you do the opposite, you should expect bad karma. In any situation, especially a post-apocalyptic one, i don't think anyone would like to be treated harshly, so they shouldn't treat others in this manner.
