I read the real dirt in the nature theme.  I totallay agree with this person.  She wrote how she wanted to get away from dirt and farm land and move to the city.  As the years went on the dirt and land started to go away and replaced with more buildings.  Her point was to appriciate the land and to treasure it because someday it could all go away.  I think more people should be like her, go move somewhere you want but respect and take care of the earth beneath your feet.

I read the Kindness of Strangers in the good and evil theme.  i think that the habitat for humanity is without a dought the best service work there is.  I know many people who work with habitat for humanity and they have a great time helping people with no home.  If I ever get the chance to work with habitat for humanity I would go in a heartbeat.  The point to this story I think is, when someone is in poverty and doesen't have much to live off of then the weathery people should help out and give back to the people in need.

this i believe in the sports theme.  Two sisters who were very  close to each other ran almost everyday.  One day they went out on run and the one sister who was pregnent got hit by a car and died instentlly.  The wirter then wrote how life is like a relay race and that you should keep going.  When her sister got killed she was sad but she knew that it can't ruin her life.  I think a lot of people are not like this.  i think that people hold on to things way to long and it ruins their life.  If people were like this lady then people would be a lot more happy and enjoible to be around. 

this i believe in the freedom theme.  A man from New York City who was born in California but is Indian stood outside Yankee Stadium and protested on the war in Iraq.  People yelled at him saying go back to where you where form.  he thought they were talking about california but instead they were talking about india.  i think that people are still very racist in the u.s.
