sometimes my mind
Sometimes in my mind I think about the world and how we mess up the world pretty fast. The world have been here longer than us and we humans have been here for a short time and already mess up the world, and I wonder can we recreate the world or at least slow down the process of messing up the world. Like it too late to make the world a better place like we can't restore it. We populate the air and are cutting rain forest and making animals go extinct. What if we humans never made a mess of the world how would it have turned out would we even have evolve into humans? That what sometimes comes in my mind.

Lit analysis #2
The book that I choice is Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card and the the theme of this book is that we sometimes can't tell the difference between game and reality. That it is not very clear to us that they make us think that something is a game but reality it is real and just trick us or the other way around. once we play to many games we get use to it and we think it reality but we just can't separate fantasy from reality.
