Holden has a disorder and that disorder is that he’s really judgmental and he labels everyone. He loves to be an ass and point things out to people and about people even if he doesn’t know them. He knows that people are normal but he’ll still find little things that really bug him about a person and give these great big speeches about that person in his head, talking about how much he hates them or how stupid and phonies they are. He is a really good two face and doesn’t realize that he is the phonies that acts friendly but hates everyone “it makes me sick”
In my opinion I think that he just does everything he does because he is a depressed young man and that is the only thing that can actually make him feel better about that sorry ass excuse that he calls his life. I also noticed that in the book he is only happy when he is talking crap on some one in his head because he is not man in off to say it to your face or sitting back laughing at others. He is very shady and he is good at being shady so I honestly would not know if he was being real with me or not or if he hated me. I would most likely just stay away from him because he sounds like he is just an eemo type kid. He is not my type of person I would never hang out with someone like that at all to begin with but now that i’m furthering to the book I agree with my class when they say I HATE HOLDEN! I’m sure a lot of people do and I don’t blame him I just find it funny how you can call the world phonies and be the phonies at the same time

Muhammad Ali
The boxing legend Mahamad Ali “The King of the Ring.” Is a young 18 year old, gold medalist. He was trained by a cop named Joe Martin in junior high. He became a fames boxing legend, and he created the “Make a Wish” adoption agency. He reminds me of the creed because he dedicated his life to serve others and personally delivered food to those in need just because he cared.
Mahamad Ali, first started learning how to box in junior high, even though it was hard he stuck to it. He started to learn to box because someone stole his bike and wanted to beat them up. When he was 18 he won an Olympic gold metal in the Athletic Union light weight fights in Rome. After that he dedicated his life to service by caring about those in need. I love boxing so his story inspires me and makes me want to stick to what I like to do. His story tells me that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.
I think that his greatest accomplishment is that he was that much of an important person that he got to light the flame in Atlanta in 1996 Olympics. As we all know he began his carrier as a young boxer then went on to create the “Make a Wish” adoption agency. I think this is his greatest accomplishment because, he helped orphans get in to loving family’s he actually care to make a difference in children’s life’s, another accomplishment he made was a study he started on by donating $30 million to find a cure to parking sons syndrome witch he was diagnosed with it in September 1984. He did this so that others wouldn’t have to go threw what he did.
If, you were to ask me what category of the Summit student Creed I’d put him under I would label him under the line “I pledge to be caring, and live a life of service”
Because my example of this is how he started the” Make a Wish” foundation. I chose this example because, he dedicated himself to helping others and put little kids with loving families that were there and really cared. I also think that the cure foundation that he started fits in the aspect of caring because he donated $30 million to find a cure to Parkinson’s syndrome, because he suffered through it himself and if you can help stop it, why wouldn’t you? He also started the world peace group because he didn’t like violence, witch I find odd because he was a boxer but that’s another one of his accomplishments that got to me.
I think that life long learning is another aspect of the creed that reminds me of Muhammad Ali because he never stopped trying to learn new ways to better himself and ways to help others. Just like when he created the adoption agency. I honestly think that everyone can make a difference all they need to do is try a little harder to be a little better and they can make a difference.

Good Goes Bad
When evils good, the good goes bad
Just a little boy asking for a second chance
One imperfect decision left him stuck
His future loomed to show no love
This life is rare and up to no good
His freedom taken away to make it better understood
He stands on a road with two directions
Little does he know he’s really facing
The biggest dicision of his life
Now it’s ether bow down or fight
But bowing down isn’t him so he’ll stand and fight, for his beliefs
Even if it means laying 6ft. deep
He feeds from his power of will
And is very deadly when he grips the steal
He’s always ready for the good or bad
His life is in his hands
He completely understands
That, the end is near
Still he stands alone with no help or fear.
Want to Give Up
It’s just one of those days that make, you want to give up
The love from your FAM just isn’t in off
You want to move on all that you want is peace
But there’s something missing something in between
You’re FAM and friends give you they’re full support
But for some reason that don’t matter no more
You want to give up but can’t ask for help
You’re looking in to the eyes of hell
Trying to make a name for yourself
Some how, you end up in all the wrong places
Talking to strangers and unfamiliar faces
Knowing one false move could leave you dead
You walk with regrets but have to pretend
Like your life is ku
Like if you got a lot to gain but nothing to lose

Fahrenheit 451 Final
I think it’s the people’s fault that they gave up they’re freedom of speech. I believe that people should fight and stand up for they’re freedom of speech. It’s who we are and with out it we’re really nothing. We’ll be like zombies walking just living in a program, living life like we’re told too.
I think that a good example of this would be Clarisse because she’s out there she lives her life how she wants and doesn’t play by the rule like the others do. She realizes that something isn’t right and she starts to see that it’s a system and expresses it to Montag. Montag latter starts to realize that they’re being cut out from information, but nobody tries to be there own person they start to believe in the system and are ok to live life by it in other words they gave up there freedom of speech to speak for them selves.
In my life experience that i'm living threw right now, I'm also living in a program. I'm limited to the things that I can do, the way I can dress, and the things I can say. I feel limited from the information of what’s going on back home. Just like the people in the book there is nothing I can do about it. I gave up my freedom of speech when I broke the law. All I can do is go with it and act like I’m happy.
Another good example of giving up your freedom of speech would be Faber. He was a professor and he basically had it made. He him self gave up everything that made him, him and in the book he admits that he regrets it. He said that he feels like a coward because he should have fought harder. Not only for him but his believes in learning.
In my life I can think of many examples that I could have fought harder for something I loved or really cared for. I feel like a coward myself for just sitting back and letting that happen. If I could go back in time and change the out come of things I honestly would. So I know how Faber feels, I think that he feels like he has nothing else to lose so he’s willing to try to make it right.
In my opinion I think that there is no dictum or censorship because they allowed it to be that way. Now that they’ve let it be that way there’s no going back to how things use to be. People can try to change what’s happening but they’ll probably just end up getting light on fire, so they just go with the system But lets face it don’t we all go threw some type of system.

My Opinion
I honestly do think that parent should have a say on what they’re kids learn about. On the other hand, I don’t think that the whole committee group approving books is necessary. Teachers when to school, for a long time for reason. Parents should just trust them because they know what they’re teaching and if they pick those books it’s for a reason. We’re not in elementary school anymore we’re in high school. I’m sure that we’re all mature enough to take in what ever those books say.
I honestly think that parent’s are over rated now days and that whole other things are a waist of time, for example we are exposed to many other thing’s that are a whole lot worse then a couple swear word. I think that they should put there little committees to the streets and find ways to pull youngsters out of drugs and move them from harms way. They need to stop making a big deal about little things like this. That’s exactly the reason why teens don’t tell they’re parents anything, we know that they’ll just blow it out of proportion. They need to take a minute and think about that.
If you ask me all those pointless committees they need to get off teachers backs and let them do there jobs. They’re the teachers witch means that they probably made a few better choices then them. I’m not saying that they should not care about there kids but they should give them some space to learn about things that they’re really interested in. Besides isn’t that why parents want us to come to school.? If its not then’ I guess I haven’t learned much. Take it from an honors student, I trust my teachers so why shouldn’t the parent’s.?
