Authority figures

     How athority figures " help" you be on your best behavior is by your fear of getting in trouble  because if you get in trouble you will have to face the consequences something people don't really want to do, but if you don't fear the consequences and don't care then i think you would act how you want 😐

"Earth on a turtles back " response

      The story of " Earth on a turtles back "  was an interesting story because
it showed that even the smallest person can do big things.  I also like it because
it was short but had a good message.  I liked how they made the Muskrat the
Hero of the story.

MY AERIES

 I got a little supprised with the grade that I recieved because I didn't think the essay was that good.
I received that grade because I guess it was well written I don't really agree with it because it wasn't that good 🤔. I have recieved D's and C's and I haven't really done a lot in this course so I think I deserve a D or an F for this class.

My big question

How would life be if there was no money ?
