RESPECT MY AUTHORITY?

My mom, dad, sister, my teachers, and friends all support me by not judging me and how I act. However, when I'm with my family and we are in stores shopping or at a restaurant, I have to act proper and quiet so I won't cause any disturbances.

INCITING INCIDENT

My impression of the incident was why did they stop him when all he was doing was just going for a walk? He said he does it all the time and has never met anyone on the walk.

Mistakes for President

I watched all of the debate and honestly both were so unprofessional. They kept interrupting each other and going off topic. Some logical fallacies I noticed were Donald Trump brought up Hilary's email scandal and she brought up  how he hasn't released his tax returns because he's either not as rich as he says he is or hasn't paid any federal income tax at all. Other fallacies I noticed were how Donald Trump often blames Hilary and Obama for everything and says Hilary's husband Bill Clinton did a horrible job at raising manufacturing jobs in the 90s and Hilary responded by saying that's his opinion.

SOMETIMES MY MIND...

Sometimes I think about something and it goes off in a spiral of other thoughts that end up right back where I started.

The Pedestrian

My reaction to this story is the main character might meet someone on his walk. Also, the story is very detailed.

3. I imagine the author being very outdoorsy, and knows a lot about trying to survive  in the wilderness. I think he drinks coffee and has eggs, bacon, and toast for breakfast. He may have an occasional drink but never gets drunk to the point where he wakes up hungover. He exercises a lot and goes for runs in the forest, and he also knows a lot about nature. 1st excerpt: "L- shaped with rounded corners, and the plane was nearly aimed at the long part of the L, coming from the bottom and heading to the top."  2nd excerpt: "And in his belt, somewhere still there, the hatchet his mother had given him." 3rd excerpt: " Maybe cover it with grass or leaves or sticks he thought, and he started to go down to the lake again where there were some willows he could cut down for braces.
