Where Do New Ideas Come From?
There are many types of ideas such as business ideas, inovative ideas, good ideas, terrible ideas, etc. But where do all theses ideas come from? They can from the enviroment we live in, TV,advertisements, internet, people around us, dreams, etc. But where they come from is not as important as if it actually works. Steve Jobs's mackintosh and ipods are good examples of good ideas. In today's society, one of the many universal ideas is to come up with ways to save our planet. These ideas involve the three R's, reduce, reuse, and recycle. Producing energy saving cars such as electric cars, more energy efficient buildings, water recycling are all fantastic ideas of this century. There will definitely be many more innovative and green ideas to come that to meet our every needs.

My Favorite Story- What makes a good story?
What makes a good story? A good story is one that hooks the reader into wanting to read more. Building tension making the story even more exciting is the best way to keep readers wanting to read on. Many stories such as "The Sniper" are interesting to read because it talks about the history of a country and how people struggled to survive. From the "The Sniper", we are able to feel the tension that's going on not only between the two snipers, but also the political tension in the country. Furthermore, we get to see the mind of the snipers, how they feel and what are their moves to accomplish their mission. It is from this story that I can see that a sniper has two sides of him, a robotic side which feels no pain but programmed to kill his target and a human side of him that has emotions and curiosity. "The Sniper" is one of my favorite stories as it is able to draw me into its war setting and make me curious about the the IRA and the Free Staters. It is from this story that I get to understand Ireland more.
