Growing up is a topic that many people will disagree on. One becomes an adult when they begin taking responsibility for their actions; it’s less about maturing physically but maturing mentally.
To be an adult means to not have to depend on others and be totally independent. To connect to that topic to not be helpful to society is when being independent could hurt your health and you need people to take care of you.

The main visual elements are the three members of the family. This cartoon is about the issue of children coming home from school and not wanting to talk to their parents about it.
The cartoonist thinks that kids should talk to their parents about their day and how school went. The evidence of this is that it shows the parents wanting to know what the kid did at school but he told them to just read his blog. This is an ironic cartoon because this cartoon is in a blog posting even though the parents are telling him to tell them what happened today.
Vonnegut is trying to say that technology is cheating people of what they can become because they don’t let you do things to your full potential. He seems to feel strongly about the issue. He is both right and wrong for several reasons.
He is right because people have given in to technology and have given up on hard work and have just let the machines do everything, for example electrical wheelchairs, and calculators (to a certain point). He is also right because without technology we wouldn’t have nuclear war threats.
He is wrong for a few other reasons, some being that some humans have problems so they need technology to help them through everyday life (wheelchairs). And also because sometimes people have a shortage of time so things like calculators are good because they are efficient.
Technology is the practical use of science and innovations to come up with new and helpful things.
I find the use of technology in our school to be amazing for more than one reason, first of all the internet and laptops are reliable and usually work. With the introduction of Smart Boards showing students slide shows and things electronically are much easier to do now. Also having a school store with supplies like pencils and pens makes sure we have what we need to work at school efficiently.

This quarter, like last quarter, I have only successfully accomplished one goal. That goal being to stop procrastinating, but I have only succeeded to a point because on week days I get home and start directly on homework but on weekends I always seem to procrastinate until 7:00pm on Sunday and end up rushing myself. My goal for reading 30 pages a night was completely ignored because i ended up reading my AR book on the last night beginning to end. But even though I haven't really put a structure to my schoolwork (goal number 3) I always do my homework a certain way, which gives it a little bit of a structure.

Holy war is an oxymoron because holy is attached to religion and most religions are against war. That is why when you put the words holy and war together they means the opposites. The reason so many wars on religious issues are going on is that a lot of religions think that their religion is the only religion so they want to force others into its ways. In some religions not following its practices is a reason for death so killing is accepted. But in some cases it could be that people feel that god is greater than any human so they are willing to sacrifice for the good of their religion.
