The joy of life

  In this Chris is upset at people and hhow they do things in their life.He does not like the fact that people depened on others for security.He doesnt like the fact that people are scared to see what life is like on the other side.He wants people to explore new things and how life is in the wild when you just go out and do what you want when you want to and how you want to.He doesnt like that people are always trying to impress others.For example he didnt like how his parents used him as some type of toy or a trophy.He didnt want to impress anyone.He felt as if he didnt need to try aand imoress anybody to him he had no one to impress not even hime self.

  He embraced these beliefs in many ways.One way was cutting all his credit cards,burning his money,cutting his social security card up and leaving his car in the desert.He didnt care about the matiral things in life.He enjoyed life as it is, he went out and did what ever he felt like doing in the moment.He loved the fact that he had no responsibility. He was able to live free,free off the law free of his parents.Chris was just a free spirit and he loved the out doors.

  The first thing I think he would ask me is do i try to impress people.The next question he would most likely ask me is am i afraid of living alone in the wild.Next he might ask me am i willing to take the risk he did am I ready to leave my family drop all communication and just go dont tell anyone anything. He would also ask me am i scared to meet new people and try new things in life.Chris would try to encourage me to go out and do something in my life that I trulely love and care about.I think that he would try and encourage me to do what he did or try somethimg similar to it.He would tell me to just enjoy life as is.

Jamaica

         If Alazeez was to go to Jamaica he would go to see the diffident things people do out side of the united states .He would go check out the beaches they have. The type of food they eat.I would want to see the way they dress what type of sports they play.It seems like a fun place to go and visit.If you don't her people talk about it a lot it must not be all that great.
    A lot of people have said that Jamaica would be the best island to visit hands down.This is why most people would list Jamaica as one of the best island travel destination. The people there are very generous and welcoming. Its a laid back type of atmosphere. I heard that they have amazing food.They have beautiful white sandy beaches its no all dark like in the U.S. H even thinks that they have a great culture

Poem

This poem is about how Chris thinks that society is crazy. He beleives that people shouldnt have to depend on society for everything. He also beleives that people should not depend on money and material things all the time. Chris wasnt afraid to do anything he didnt care what anyone thought of him he did what ever he wanted when ever he wanted. He wasnt afriad to do say whats on his mind                                                                                                                                                                            It is a mystery to me

We have a greed

With which we have agreed

You think

You have to

Want more than

You need

Until you have it all

You won’t be freed

Society

You’re a crazy breed

I hope your not lonely

Without me

When you want more than you have

You think you need

And when you think more than you want

Your thoughts

Begin to bleed

I think I need

to find a bigger place

Cause when you have more than you think

You need more space

Society

You’re a crazy breed

I hope

Your not lonely

Without me

Society

Crazy indeed

I hope

Your not lonely

Without me I see them standing at the formal gates of their colleges, 

I see my father strolling out 

under the ocher sandstone arch, the 

red tiles glinting like bent 

plates of blood behind his head, I 

see my mother with a few light books at her hip 

standing at the pillar made of tiny bricks, 

the wrought-iron gate still open behind her, its 

sword-tips aglow in the May air, 

they are about to graduate, they are about to get married, 

they are kids, they are dumb, all they know is they are 

innocent, they would never hurt anybody. 

I want to go up to them and say Stop, 

don’t do it—she’s the wrong woman, 

he’s the wrong man, you are going to do things 

you cannot imagine you would ever do, 

you are going to do bad things to children, 

you are going to suffer in ways you have not heard of, 

you are going to want to die. I want to go 

up to them there in the late May sunlight and say it, 

her hungry pretty face turning to me, 

her pitiful beautiful untouched body, 

his arrogant handsome face turning to me, 

his pitiful beautiful untouched body, 

but I don’t do it. I want to live. I 

take them up like the male and female 

paper dolls and bang them together 

at the hips, like chips of flint, as if to 

strike sparks from them, I say 

Do what you are going to do, and I will tell about it. This poem is from the book. Its about how chris thinks that little kids think that they are so innocent.

DEADLY DIVE

   I think that it was an accident. He loved her to much to try and kill her. He wanted her to beat his record he didn't care. But he didn't want her going that deep because he knew she wasn't ready for it.
She told him that she would keep going. She would go 561 feet deep,36 less then he wanted. He wanted to cancel the dive because of the storm. He though that it was a sign from the under water gods. But she kept on going like she had something to prove to him.
   That day he checked the air tanks him self. He would usually let his crew do it. But his was upset at them because they had already messed up during training. But when he checked the air tank he forgot use a pressure gauge.
 
   I think that it was her fault. He told her not to do it. He didnt want her to go any deeper becuase he knew that she wasnt ready for it. She was trying to show off and be a superstar. He knew it was a sign from the under water Gods that she shouldnt go becuase of the storm. Some people might think that he wanted to kill her on purpose becuase he didnt check the presure gauge.
