A month ago when I got home my mom told me that something bad happened to my neighbor Tyler’s dog. She told me his dog  Beauty got out of my neighbor’s house some how and ran across the street, a limo driver wasn’t paying attention to the stop sign and he just kept driving and hit Beauty and drove off.

My mom tried to get the dog but by the time she got there it was too late. After she told me what had happened I went to my neighbors house to see if he was alright because I knew that he was close to his dog and he loved him very much. When I was talking to him he was crying saying that it was all his fault. But I told him that it wasn’t his fault that it was the stupid limo driver’s fault because he wasn’t paying attention.

While I was talking to my neighbor I started to think about how it would be if my dog passed away. What I would do and how I would react. While I thought about it I got teary because I couldn’t imagine waking up in the morning and my dog not barking or going to the park without taking my dog for a walk. It would be really sad an depressing not having my dog.

This is how my neighbor felt like. He didn’t want to do anything he was just locked in his house. I would always come over to check up on him to see if he was okay. Days passed by and he got better but he still thinks about his dog and starts to cry. Hopefully he gets better and realizes that Beauty is in a better place.

I have realized that people don’t only suffer from a family members or a friends death. But also pets because like my dog, pets are part of your family because they are always with you, you always take care of them, and you love them just like you love your family and losing someone in your family is very tragic.

So, I was reading an article online and I saw an old article about the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001.

If you don’t remember what happened then here it goes. Early in the morning on September 11, 2001, nineteen hijackers took control of four commercial airliners. American Airlines Flight 11 was crashed into the World Trade Center’s North Tower, followed by United Airlines Flight 175 which hit the South Tower.

Well I started to think about how it was for everyone in New York and people all over the world. I was just in 5th grade when it happened and don’t remember much but what I do remember was that my mom picked me up from school early. When I asked her why she did that she said that she was scared that something bad was going to happen. When I got home I remember turning on the TV and the tragic attack was on, on every channel. I didn’t understand at first what  had happened until my mom explained.

While I read this article I started to remember how bad I felt after finding out about what had happened and the anger I felt towards the terrorist. I can only imagine how the families of the people who were in danger felt. And how they dealt with it.

I felt this anger towards the terrorist because of their hate towards the U.S. and how they made a lot of innocent people suffer for something they didn’t do or cause. Then I felt sadness for the people that passed away because it was uncalled for, they didn’t know what was happening, they didn’t know that two planes were going to crash into the World Trade Center Towers. I also felt sorry for the families because they didn’t even get to say good-bye to their loved ones.

Looking back to it I have realized that a lot of people were hurt during this tragic event either emotionally or physically. I hope that everyone that suffered through this event got better and started their life all over again. I also hope that everyone that passed away is remembered and prayed for because it’s the least we can do.

So, I watched Michael Jackson’s “This is It” today and it made me tear up. It was weird because I didn’t want to watch it in the first place. I just went because my sister is obsessed with Michael and she dragged me in to it. Anyways, the movie was about Michael Jackson’s rehearsals, behind-the-scenes and other footage of Michael Jackson’s This Is It concert series.  The concert was going to take place in London, there were going to be 100 shows.

As I watched the movie I started to think about how hard it was when everyone found out Michael Jackson passed away. What I remembered was that it was a very tragic loss for his family and his fans. I mean it’s always tragic when someone passes away because then you know that you are never going to see them again.

In the movie it showed the hard work and everything he did to try to make his concert perfect. Just watching the film gave me an idea of how Michael use to be. Michael was very polite, humble, respectful, he was just like any other person. The film showed this very well because it was just like reality TV. They recorded what he did, how he was, they didn’t read anything out of a scripts.

It was a good idea to release this film because it shows people the other side of Michael. The side that a lot of people didn’t know about. Im glad that people now realize that it was wrong assuming things about Michael. That people always try to find something bad about him or assume things and make people believe bad things about him. For example in 2002 Michael tried to show his fans his son Prince Michael II, so he held his son using just one arm around the baby’s waist, over the edge of the metal railing while greeting the crowd gathered four stories below. People made a big deal about this because they said that he put his child in danger and they assumed the worst. But in reality Michael didn’t try to put his son in danger he just wanted to show everyone his new son.

I hope that what everyone gets from this is that you shouldn’t  judge a book by it’s cover. You should try to get to know someone before you say or assume anything about them.  You won’t realize that what you did was wrong after you hurt them. So next time you assume something about someone make sure you know what the consequences would be.

I advise everyone to watch Michael Jackson’s This Is It because it showed the real Michael like where he came from and how he was.

I have always loved writing because I think it’s an easy way to express yourself in many ways. You can express your opinion or your feelings about many different issues. But I have never thought about making a blog. Im glad that we get to make a blog as a class assignment and we get to choose what we are going to blog about. That’s why I picked a topic that I thought was interesting which is having someone close to you or someone you know pass away.
