Nice Little Thing in Life
Heroes, to many people, a stereotypical hero with superpowers would pop into their mind. There are many heroes in our society, from the fictional comic book characters to the brave soldiers working for the nuclear powerplant explosion in Japan. In my dictionary, I would consider anybody with an abnormal ability that could benefit the society, or simply just a person that tries their best in saving a tough situation. You could be thinking, many people has those traits, does that mean they are all heroes to me? Honestly, yes, to me, giving a dollar to the homeless, saving a cat from drowning, recycling bottles on the ground, all could make one heroic. Maybe not to the society, but to an individual. These traits are shared upon all the heroes of this world. Every hero has traits similar to such. Personally, my hero, would have to be my parents. I cannot believe how hard my dad works for us to keep a living, pay for our tuition, and put food on our table. A self made man he is, makes me look up to him, as a role model, and as well as a hero of the family. My mom, handles all of our laundry, all of our chores, and she still has time to relax and take care of the family? I am utterly amazed at her abilities on the street, and as well as at home. Heroes make our society feel like home, makes us have something nice in our life, something we don't realize, but something that could make all of us smile.

Animal Farm Differences
There are many differences between the book and movie. I believe that the movie was very nice, but just not as detailed and as nicely put out like the book. The book had alot more little details that the movie did not cover. When that happened to some of the scenes, I was shocked at how some things were different. It was a difference when old major died right after the song in the movie. In the book, it clearly stated that he died many days afterwards. That was a little shocking when he died that soon, right after the song. The book also did not have the mother dog die in the book. In the movie, that was also something very new to me. It was never stated that the mother of the dog would die. The horse also kills a boy in the book, which the movie did not have.It is small things like this that builds up all the differences between the book and the movie. Althought it had differences, I still enjoyed the movie more than the book. Due to not having to read myself, everything just gets shown to me.
Judging by its cover?
Over the course of many years, especially after hitting puberty and growing long hair, I have always been misinterpreted by many people. Many people thinks of me as a very mean person who likes to tease people alot and probably gets crap for his grades. That is judging the book by its cover. Just because I enjoy having long hair and just because I have alot of friends does not mean that I am a person who likes to play alot. Just because of that, it doesn't mean I snort crack all day and go vandalizing all over town. I have been misled by many people before. I have also misled many things as well myself. I have saw many people on the streets with tattoos and a white wife beater, the first thing that came to my mind was that they were probably gang members and I better stay out of their way. But after getting to know them, they are very nice people who respects others alot.
I think people gets misled is because they don't take time and think about the person's story, or the background of the object before they judge it. I think it is human's nature to think that we know everything already. After getting to know the person, or the thing, you would actually find that it was not how you first thought of it as.
