Where I Would Live

            There is a place for everyone, a place in which all is fit for the people that live there. For me, that place would probably be California. As much as I hate to be like everyone else, California truly seems like the place for me. I’d like to live there because not only is it where Hollywood is located but many large-scale conventions take place there as well. Most notably, E3 and other related conventions are what would draw me to the western coast. Also, I’d like to take up voice acting and Hollywood is most likely the best place to start for that sort of career. Even so, I still have a desire to do graphic arts design which can be done pretty much anywhere. My career paths are all over and pretty flexible for the most part, aside from the voice acting bit. Perhaps going to California could aid me in finding what I really want to do in life and dispel all of this confusion. The various career opportunities that lay strewn about California can give me room to experiment and see what I like best. To better myself and my future, the state of California is where I would live.

If Money Were No Object Interviews

            When asking my family about what they would do to help their community I learned a little more about who they are as people. I learned that my aunt would be interested in helping those in need directly through homeless shelters whereas my mother would indirectly raise money for charity and help educate children. This showed me that people are different in all ways, even when it comes to helping one’s community. Everyone has their own way of doing what they wish, whether it be recreation at home or actively working on a project, it can range from one extreme to another. People are unique, in every way possible.

Favorite Book and Author

            Reading is a pastime enjoyed by many, people all about the world read. Whether it be a novel, a magazine, or a comic book, reading is popular worldwide. I, for one, do not often read and when I do I am very choosy when it comes to whatever it is I am reading. I have read books before, though. My favorite book is probably ‘1984’ by George Orwell which is about the author’s perception of what the year 1984 would be like for it was published in 1949. The world that Orwell portrays consists of people living in very bland homes, all of which are extremely similar, and they all have tight work schedules under the government’s three divisions. These people are tracked and monitored at all times and have to abide by strict laws centering mostly around acts of treason. They would get arrested for simply having thoughts that were negatively geared toward anything or anyone. It’s these laws that cause me to enjoy the book so much because in a general sense, Orwell’s prediction was quite accurate. While it may have been a couple decades early, today’s society resembles that of Orwell’s. Now, people are always monitored by government officials. Laptops, cellular devices, and other electronics can and are tapped by law enforcement to ensure that we are doing as we are told, just like in 1984. We are also required by law to be certain places at certain times, like school. Skipping school can result in consequences whether it be a fine or detainment in the detention hall. Orwell’s accurate representation of modern society fascinates me and is why I like him and his book, ‘1984,’ so much.
