 * Compare where you live to the setting described in what you are reading. Explain in a paragraph.

I do not know how to compare living on a farm to a high school setting

Comparing WGM to Lawrence High. My school dose not appreciates people for who they really are the school in the book dose. My school makes me and all my friends feel like retards whenever we go to a class. The school in the book likes people and makes them feel appreciated. My school expects everyone to be creative writers and scientists people that ace every test weather it be math, science, social and la. The school in the book wants you to do your best but they are happy that you are not all great writers and scientist they want the kids to do what they want and not what the teacher wants them to do. My school only recognizes people who play sports the school in my book no’s that some of the people that aren’t in sports do a lot of stuff to make the spots happen. My school doses not give students the chance to coach or manage teams.

I think that the people that made the video are tying to tell the people that watch it that. In the next 5 or 10 years we will have computers that will be able to do stuff that we could never think of. The people that made the video are also trying to tell us that we will be over populated and that we will have more people than we have the space for. That brings up a question what are we going to do about the extra people that we will have This new tecnolagy is also creating new jobs everyday because as the tecnolagy gets more and more complicated we will need more people to figure out what is wrong and fix it. Install it sell it that kind of stuff.
