I'm Back!!!!

     Alright so I took a break from reading Crocodile Tears and  read the 2nd book in the harry Potter series The Chamber of Secrets  By  J.K Rowling. But I'm back to it again and plan to finish the series before the end of May.
    
     Anyway in the Last chapter I read Alex the main character just escaped a GM laboratory (genetical modification) and he stole some computer files and a sample of what they were doing. However to acquire this information he had to grab and run. And by doing this he ran into the Poison Dome. A place where they experiment on poison organisms and make the about 500 times more deadly. I found it rather strange that the the people who own this laboratory left the door to such a deadly place open for anyone to aimlessly walk right into this dome and unfortunately puff up and start to well die a very painful death.

    Just this small detail  really made me start to think a lot. Why can some people be so heartless to their employes and allow their conditions to be so bad. I found a theme among my blog posts and many of them have something to do with greed and money. Well sorry people this one is about that as well.  People care so much about money that they are willing and actually do treat their workers as trash.  Just for some money.

     Well now that I think of it. The idea of Greed and money is actually a big idea in this entire series. Is this series suggesting that all bad people come from the sin that is greed? And if not why does every book, or at least almost every book have a reference of these two ideas?

     I wonder...

Relating to class work...

     Alright so in my book Crocodile Tears by Anthony Horowitz there is a lot of talk about ethics, and what's right and wrong in this world. Let me just say that this blog was inspired by that long conversation about ethics during class and the very good but sad movie known as The Cove  Or as Theo calls it The Cove 2: revenge of the dolphins.

     Wow i got off track there

     Anyway in this entire series, every book starts out with the main character, Alex Rider, is always stuck between whether or not to get involved with either MI6, the CIA, or the FBI and help them save the world once more. Alex never wants to go on the next mission but he always ends up getting involved only because of what would happen if he didn't. Even if this may be very subtle it really made me think a lot about how some people in this world don't really care about anything but themselves. The ethics of some people whether it's in the real world or just in a fictional story such as Crocodile Tears.

     Ethics are what is right and wrong in this world and to everyone it is different. Some people may think differently about ethics but I believe that anyone in this world knows if something terrible is done to an innocent person than it's wrong. And I'm sorry for saying this but if anyone thinks that someone should blow up the united states for revenge on someone who bullied you in school they are just very messed up. In Crocodile Tears  Alex is always drawn back to the life of a spy and I think that he is right in trying to save the entire world even if it means risking his life.

     I think that these people are worth a little more...

You Are Greedy... This Is Bad

     This book actually took me a lot longer than I thought it would but I have about 60 pages left so I am almost done. But anyway in my book Snakehead by Anthony Horowitz In my book I just finished reading a part about some guy that works for this terrorists organization know as the Snakeheads who wants a 14 year old boys organs to sell for over 2 million dollars. He doesn't care anything about the actual child but just on making money.

     I think that is really well... messed up, and I think that this man is nothing but a crazy person that again, only cares about money. There are these really greedy people out there in this world that just want more and more they never stop wanting everything. The reason that there would be a "Global Warming" (and I put that in quotes) Is because people in this world just want more and more and are trying to get more than they actually need to survive on this planet. They are using up all the resources and this is why we may be in this crisis.

     Anyway this greed that some people have is effecting more than just themselves as they might think. Greed is considered one of the seven deadly sins in Christianity and it is really obvious why. People that are greedy are normally the ones causing trouble if there is any kind of trouble happening. Greed leads to nothing good in life and it only causes trouble to everyone around you. Whether it's Snakehead or some big industry owner, too much greed can and will cause life long sadness and or suffering for whoever has committed it.

     You need to know your limits...
