Freak the Mighty Project - Dictionary
===For this FtM project I have done a dictionary, inside it I added words that can connect to the book to show that I understand the purpose of making this dictionary and some words that I like myself for fun, but of course there are also some favorite words that connects to the book.===

Yesterday…

I was unfortunate about that I stole food,

But I was glad that I still ate the food.

I don’t understand why I am so curious,

But I realize curiosity is awesome. I dislike saying mean things, But I adore reading.

Today…

I am unfortunate that I have no friends,

But I am still glad that I can play with myself.

I don’t understand how to speak French,

But I realize how to speak Chinese.

I dislike going to drama,

But I adore singing a dance.

Tomorrow…

I am going to be unfortunate about having old wrinkles,

But I am still going to be glad about going anywhere I want.

I don’t understand why I am in the ADC (America Dance Competition),

But I realize that I am pretty good at dancing.

I dislike going sleep early,

But I adore going to bed late

__//The Sky//__
When the morning is spread out against the sky Let me try reach up high Through the days, day and night Pitch black is in all my sight “ Is it just me or is it the sky? Should I try to get out with all my might?” Let me lead you to my sight I figured out That the night has already spread out against the sky I noticed it’s already night I figured that I should just close my mind Drifting off into the sky...

Government vs. Citizens Have you seen the news that states out that the citizens are traveling on the streets to protest to the government? I think most of you have. Problems are starting to happen between the government and the citizens. This essay can tell you about Japan, France and Kunming, what the government did and why, also what the citizen’s did about the problem.

Today, Japan’s peace constitution is in great danger. At May 3rd, 2014, hundreds of citizens in Tokyo, Japan gathered together and went onto the streets to protest that the Prime Minister Abe Shinzo wanted to change the peace constitution in their country. The leader of all the citizens that protested said: “Now we have to stand expression aspiration to prevent the government to carry on the modification to peace, otherwise Japan will be enemies with other Asian countries again.” I think they do need to prevent the government from changing the peace constitution because I know that the other Asian countries will not want to be Japan’s enemies again either. If we became enemies with Japan again then it would become a big problem. According to the history, Japan has attacked most of the Asian countries. So if they start a war again, obviously, most of the Asian countries will unite together and pick on Japan itself. Nobody wants to have war again, peace is very important to everyone, so the peace constitution cannot be changed.

At June 1st, 2010, the France government wanted to change the retirement age. The retirement age was first supposed to be 60 years old, but the France government had wanted to change it into either 62 or 63 (depends on the job). The France government said: “Human's life expectancy lengthens, therefore the extension work year number is more reasonable.” He was trying to push the retirement age into a longer age starting next year. Once the news came out at June 24th, they, the citizens, initiated a national protest march, opposing to the government to delay the legal retirement age. I think changing the retirement age is also not a good choice to have. Most of the citizens want to have a happy elder life so when they work till 60 years old they can finally relax and not think anything about work. In my opinion, I think that most of the people do not want to work for 1 or 2 more years just for the government. I would also disagree and protest if I were a French citizen.

The Kunming government wanted to put Para-xylene (say: pa-ra-eck-sai-leen), a type of air pollution, into the air. During the afternoon on April 19th, 2013, the environmental protection organization said: “The government has planned to shut down the local pollution factory more than 70 small chemical company, in total quantity to control local pollution emission.” He also exclaimed that the government said the PX project provincial government value, now that Yuntianhua is coordinating it, the citizens do not need to worry. But still, they are worrying so all of the ones that disagreed to having PX gathered onto the streets and protested to the government that they love Kunming, and they do not want PX. I believe the citizens that were protesting are correct, because if not then there will be misfortunate cycle that will start. First of all, if there is PX in the air, people’s health can get worse and they can die from it. That is an important thing that people do not want to happen. So if I were in Kunming I would also protest to the government.

As you can see in this article, no matter where, the government does not always make the right choice, and the citizen should also have rights to tell the government what they are thinking about, for example, a survey. After all of those examples of knowing more about what the government did and why, also what the citizen’s did about the problem… will you prefer to help the citizens or the government?
