Free Post

Over Spring Break my family and I went on a vacation to St. Thomas. St. Thomas is a kind of far from the united states, so we flew. We met up with my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins. My sister brought her boyfriend William. We all stayed in a 12 bedroom vila on the beach. It was so nice. Everyday, a chef would come in and cook us meals. I got a really good massage at the house as well. My cousins are 5 and 8 so they always were fishing and playing on the beach. We did so many fun activities I can't remember them all. I missed not being able to see my friends; however, the island was amazing. We traveling via ferry to other british islands near by such as Tortola, St. John, Jose Van Ike… (etc.)

The best activity we did was zip line. We zip lined across massive bodies of water and through jungles and forests. It lasted 2 hours. At first I thought it would take a long time considering the amount of people but it went quickly. In St. Thomas, they are famous for Iguana's. I have a major fear of lizards and these Iguana's were quadruple the size on a lizard. They weighed about 10 pounds. It was scary when they would jump out of trees and walk towards you. That was the only thing I did not enjoy!

Women are more compassionate and less violent than men

I would have to say I disagree strongly because they are many women in the world that kill people (including their husbands) and are mean people. Not saying all women are like this; however, their are equal amounts of violence in a women than a man. Women may seem to be violent in other ways than killing. They are not always compassionate. An example is the Casey Anthony trial; she killed her own child and got off with double jeopardy so she can't be tired again and now she is writing a book about how she got off and was really guilty. In Macbeth, the 3 girl witches are not compassionate nor docile. Although they are played but males the actual character is a girl and they are neither of those things.

If you are in a position of power, you are happy.

I neither disagree nor agree because yes it is fun to be in power; however, being in power may make you have to do things that you don't want to, so therefor you wouldn't be happy. Being in power is not easy, your choices reflect how your people see you and treat you. In Macbeth I bet Macbeth doesn't enjoy killing those bad people because he doesn't like to oil; however, he knows he needs to do it to prove he is protecting the good people. A real life example is president Obama. Obama has many people that love him; however, due to his health care system many people don't like him and that doesn't make him happy.
