it makes me mad

So the other day, Mr. Goss told us that we can write about whatever we want for this blog entry thing. I'm going to talk about the certain girls in this school who like to hate my friends and me for no apparent reason. We haven't done anything to them to make them not like us. We don't ever talk to them and we haven't like done something bad to any of them. So I just don't understand why they're like the way they are. The funny thing is that I used to be friends with each and everyone of them up until last year. We would talk alot and stuff but all of a sudden they just stopped talking to me and started talking about me. Like all last year they would make stupid little comments to me and my friend, right in front of us like we couldn't hear them. But I know they wanted us to hear them. I used to always try to figure out why they weren't speaking to me anymore. A part of me thinks that it was because in 10th grade I started hanging out with a different group of people but I still would hang out with my other friends too. It wasn't like I wasn't totally ditching them. So I just couldn't figure it out. But I know if you asked them why they don't like me, they would probably say that I changed. And yeah i'll admit i have changed but thats just because i've gotten older. Well i have to stop talking about this because i'm starting to get all mad about it. But yeah i'm sorry mr. goss if this isn't interesting but i couldn't think of anything to write about lol

war movies promoting war

"You'll pretend you were men instead of babies, and you'll be played in the movies by Frank Sinatra and John Wayne or some of those other glamorous, war-loving, dirty old men. And war will look just wonderful, so we'll have a lot more of them. And they'll be fought by babies like the babies upstairs" (Slaughter-House-Five, p. 14)

I do not agree with Mary O'Hares quote from Slaughter House Five. Most people aren't going to see a war movie and then be like oh we have to go to war. It doesn't have them thinking that war is awesome. Well obviously there's going to be some people out there that believe that, but most will not or do not. Also there are movies out there that are against war. The movies Hotel Rwanda and Schindler's List greatly oppose war. There set in a country with war and thousands or millions of deaths taking place. The main characters in them go out of there way to help the people of that country.
