Whom Do You Feel Closest To?

Well, that's an easy question isn't it? Of course I'm closest to my family and friends.

Especially my mom and best friends, because I tell them almost everything. Of course, I don't tell some of them EVERYTHING, because some things are a bit to personal to share. But I tell them about everything about 90% of the time...

Heh heh.

Mind you, my mom is like my best friend.....and I have four BFFs.....so yeah....some know somethings, while others don't.....but I'm very close to everyone of them...

But that doesn't mean that I'm not close to my regular friends or classmates, it just means I'm not as close to them as my mom or BFFs......I'm kind of a....hyperactive person, so I pretty much tell everything to everyone...some people know more about me than others because they've known me for longer, but yeah....I'm generally close to every friend I have....

Well....I count close friends as classmates, BFFs as the four people, and my mom slightly more than my dad because I feel like he doesn't really listen to me from time to time *ahem*

Don't worry people, it's not like I'm trying to separate people....I'm just closer to some people more than others.

Oh and as for the three poems: Scaffolding, The World is Not a Pleasant Place to be, and Annabel Lee....the first and third poem show the strong relationship between two lovers. In the second poem, it's slightly different. It states "the world is not a pleasant place to be without someone to hold on to you"...it's generally the same idea, but in a different way of expressing it. People are closest to the ones they love...

So........PEACE OUT :P

What is Honor?

Honor can mean a lot of things, but honor is only given to a person who truly deserves it....

It can mean high respect, you would honor a person for their bravery in battle....you would honor a student for getting the highest grades in school. High respect is given to those who have given in their effort, whether they succeeded or not.

Honor can be given to a soldier who died in battle, even if they lost the war. If he had tried to fight, instead of fleeing without integrity.....he deserves to be honored.

Honor can also mean privilege....you deserve honor if you had done your best, even if you did not succeed or if you HAD succeeded. You could have the honor to be crowned as king, assuming that you are ready to take control......while also being a person with integrity and not misusing your powers...

Privileges and high respect are only given to those who truly deserve it. They could be given to a student who gained most votes in a Science Fair project, or a soldier who died in the Vietnam War.....

Honor is what people get when they do something worth remembering, while also doing it with integrity.......

A noble sacrifice for a good cause deserves honor; effort being put in deserves honor......

For example, in "The Highwayman", Bess and Tim sacrifice their lives for each other....their causes are equally honorable. And in "The Charge of the Light Bridgade", the soldiers did not flee from fear. Even though they were defeated, they did not die for nothing.....they deserve honor from their bravery in battle.....

Why Do We Need Memorials?

Of course we need them for honoring the people, places, animals, etc.

For example, if someone important to you dies, you would want to place something to remember him by.....also to let others know their story....

Memorials are important, for example, the Vietnam War Memorial......it was built to honor those who died in the Vietnam War for their courageous deeds.

To remember the people, building a memorial is very helpful.....especially if you want to pass their story onwards.

You don't necessarily have to be important to the society to have a memorial, as long as you are important and worth remembering to a person.

And you don't have to be rich to afford a memorial, you can easily build a shrine full of important items for the person.....a memorial doesn't have to grand, it's about the person and your gratitude to the person.
