I think this piece by, Maurizio Cattelan is talking about the world we live in.  I think this is about karma and how we as people are ignorant and do terrible things like fight and kill and war for no reason and this is trying to say that it will come back at us. This piece tells me that we are doing bad as people and we need to fix this now or else things will only get worse. It is trying to say that the world is ugly.

The Reason I think that this piece is about how this is an ugly world is because of the main part, the thumb, it is pointing downwards showing a bad job. I also notice how in the bottom the buildings are on fire, I think that shows all the damage we do to each other, it is equal to flames that just grow and grow. When you put the downwards thumb and the fire it made me think of karma how we do so many bad things and this thumbs down gave us all this fire and punishment, it is trying to say that we pay for what we have done to others.

I think the way this speaks to the world is again that we will pay for what we have done in out lives. I also think that we can turn things around in the world and maybe things can be better, knowing that nothing is perfect doesn't mean we can't try our best. The world is too ignorant to see that the world is crumbling and the only way to turn it around it to face fears, and just be a better person. Who knows? something as simple as holding a door open can lead you some where.

Star Blogger RIght here!

Cassidy Mcallister is a great blogger in my eyes. I notice when he blogs he stays on one topic a lot of the time and if he does move to another it is closely related to the first idea. I also think when he brings evidence from the book to back up his thought. I also noticed that he ties his ideas to the world. I think I can make my blogs better by taking shape of Cassidy's blog because it is well crafted with time put in and you can tell from the quality of the work. I Think I will compare my blogs with his and see if they are as good. Cassidy is an amazing blogger over all from his use of evidence, focus, and connection. And that is why Cassidy Mcallister is a great blogger.

Taking A Persons Body? Good Idea?

I'm reading a book Called Repossessed by A.M. Jenkins. This book is about a devil who got tired of his job and took control of a body from a boy named Shaun. The devil took control because he wanted to see what it's like in a human body. While he is in Shaun's body, his cat hisses at him but didn't before and now the devil thinks the cat knows. Shaun's family is also getting suspicious and noticing that Shaun is changing in ways they didn't expect. Later the devil starts to think about what could possibly happen if he would get in trouble.

I agree with the fact that "Shaun" is going to get in trouble because of the devils curiosity. I think "Shaun" is going to do something stupid that will make everyone say that he isn't Shaun. Another idea I have is that maybe somehow the cat will make people see that it's not Shaun. But what will people do when they find out? What will the devil inside do? Will his parents take action and get him exorcised? is the devil going to go back to hell and hope no one notices? The devil has only gotten his self into more and more trouble with his curiosity.

All over all I think that the devil will get Shaun in trouble and his self if he does anything stupid or dangerous. I also think that the devil is devious enough to get his way out of trouble and fix everything.

This shows how curiosity can lead to good observations and later things that will be interesting to you. But on the other hand there is the fact that there is a responsibility and a consequence if you get in trouble. That's why if you decide to do something important that you need to take the responsibility of not getting your self in trouble.
