needing to belong

  • Yes it has changed my view on how we treat other people and it really scares me now.  I think everyone should just accept everyone and not have those stupid groups that we "belong" to.
  • I don't think there is because if you are just joking around, the person could still take it literally, but if you  do unacceptable bullying than the person that is bullying is not nice.
  • I could greet some of the kids that are in my classes and wish them a good 4 years!  I could be nice and not be all joking around with freshmen!  I will have my group of people but I could hang with them and help them with school if they need it!

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder - Twilight Zone reactions

  • Yes, I was surprised at the end because i thought it would be switched, that the girl would be ugly, and the other people were going to look like humans.
  • Yes, beauty is subjective because everyone has there own taste and style for beauty.  Yes beauty does change because you don't look exactly like what you did when you were younger, so your beauty does change throughout your years of your life!
  • What I have seen with guys is that you have to be perfect, beautiful, and skinny; but this is not realistic because not all girls can be perfect, skinny, and beautiful.  Also that does not include the girls that are just a little bigger and they could be perfect or beautiful, they don't all have to be skinny because skinny is just a stereotype.  If that is all a guy looks for then good luck trying to find your someone if your going to keep that stereotype.

The lobotomist

Summarize "The Lobotomist" in 1 to 2 sentences.
Is Walter Freeman a good doctor or a "mad man?"


Walter Freeman made a surgical procedure called "The Lobotomist."  The lobotomist was a procedure where he would stick a picker into the back of your eye and scrap the brain with it like a windshield wiper.  Personallly I think he is a mad man, yes he did cure people of depression and the needing to hurt themselves, but the way he did it by ruining the brain was not a smart idea because he could hit the wrong place in the brain and not cure them, which did happen.  When he finally killed someone it sounds like he didn't really care that's why he packed up and went to his next meeting, that would really hurt someone's family if they found out that he didn't really care that the picker slipped and killed the person he was working on.  I don't think he knows how much he is risking other people's lives because he could kill the person or just not cure them or (with a very slim chance) he could cure them.  No one should have there head operated on because that could just ruin there life and the only time your head should be operated on is if your dead because otherwise you could damage there skills that they have or something important to them like memory.
