1. Would you want your future to be decided by others ? Why or Why not?
No. Not at all. I mean, who in the right mind would want that? Maybe people who are insecure. Lonely. Shy. But, no, not me. I would say that life is a place for choices. Your choices. But in another way, your choice may be to have other people make your decisions, so you wouldn't have to be thinking all night long about weather to say yes or no to a job offer, or buy a new phone. Well, I'm more of a.... I'm more of a quick thinker at times. Well, if its life or death, or about my future, I would make a plan. And if my plan falls a part, then, there plenty of time to make a new one, rather than sitting at home and thinking how much my life sucks. It doesn't take that much time.
One reason I would NOT like to have someone choosing my future is that, I already have a plan. And a back up plan. And a plan C. Like I have said before, I make plans instead of worrying about what will happen. That doesn't help at all. My plan A: Go to a GREAT university and become an infamous lawyer. Plan B: Become a famous singer. Plan C: Become a writer. There. If someone messed up my life, then they would have a lot of trouble coming to them later. This is a fair warning to anyone who is reading this. You mess up my life, you pay. I would never, ever, ever not have a plan for at least something big in my life. Well, any moment of your life, something could happen to change you entire life. Just. One. Little. Moment.
Another reason why I would NOT like to have someone choosing my own future is that I like to make my own decisions, and that I sometimes would like to be something people wouldn't expect me to be. I mean, if someone told me that I have to be a surgeon, I would never say "Yeah, okay. I'll be a surgeon!" The truth is, I hate the sight of a lot of blood, and any thing that's inside someone else's body. It's not very nice, in my opinion. I just can't accept the fact that I won't be able to run my own life, that someone else is controlling it. Another thing is ordering me around. That never helps. I mean, if it's something I'm not good at, like Four Square, I would let my friend (who is VERY good at it) tell me what I should do. But, if it's something like writing an essay on the Greek goddess Athena, I would probably lead.
Like I keep on saying, I hate people choosing my decisions, ordering me around, and running my life. I really don't know how someone would be able to cope with that. As you know, I wouldn't. If Jonas and his Utopian-Community was real, I first-second go there and probably show them what it is like here, in the 21 century. Well, these were the reasons why I wouldn't want anyone messing with my future. I guess if it's fate or destiny, or something superstitious like that, I would let it pass, because I can't mess with it, obviously, and I don't believe in coincidences, so it's meant to be.
Well this is why I would hate having someone decide my future. I hope you enjoyed and learned a little more about me!

Dear Radhi,
ReplyDeleteYour blog post clearly explains your thinking, and why. There was evidence on what you think, and why that is. Why you don't want someone else to choose your future. There was not only one reason, but two reasons why you didn't want someone to decide your future. Having two reasons gave more evidence to your writing.
You explained what you thought about the question and gave clear evidence on that. For example when you talked about your future "plans", it showed that your future was already planned but, not by someone else. Those are your decisions that you made. But you could have added why these were your plans.
Just one flaw to your post, evidence on the book. There isn't evidence on the book. No evidence on how the question is related to the book. In the first paragraph, you could have added on what you read, what the book is about, or the part the question your answering is connected to the book. And of course quotes. There wasn't any quotes to help the reader understand that what your talking about it real, or if it's something you made up. Quotes just help you give more evidence.
Overall, I enjoyed reading your blog post. Especially because it's from your point of view. Not about some other person's future, and what not. It was fun reading it because it was as if you were explaining this in person to me. It wasn't a story, or a essay, it wasn't formal at all. Just you telling everyone what your think.
My advise is add more evidence about the book so you can make your blog posts better than they already are!
