How do I feel about the high school?

So far the best thing about high school is the freedom the teachers give you. For example they give you iPads as a student, and they trust you to pay attention and only use it when necessary. Another way you have more freedom in the high school is that for you lunch or free period, your allowed to go out. For example I have lunch seventh period, so I go to the pizzeria a block away and eat there. Although you have a lot of freedom in the high school, you also have a lot of expectations and work that has to be completed. Such as getting to class on time, it is a little more difficult then said because he classes are spread out all along the school. For example I have art near the gym and math near the parking lot. I have to jog pretty fast to get there on time. Although the long walks to class are bad, that isn't the worst thing about the high school. The number of tests a week is the worst thing about high school. It is very time consuming to study for so many tests. I have at least two to three major exams a week and I'm only a freshman! Although it is very time consuming to study for tests
and the long walks to classes, in the end it pays off. I am looking forward for the rest of the year and the responsibilities that come with it.

Who really is God/



After reading Genesis 6-9 I realized that God has emotion and isn't perfect. I learned that he can get mad and that he has the power to do very bad things such as he did. I also learned that God isn't the nicest person in the world. He said "I have determined to make an end to all flesh". This means he wants to kill everyone. This leads me to my conclusion that God might not be as perfect as some people say tha he is.

Who should take the blame?


I would blame the serpent for getting Adam and Eve kicked out of the garden. I say that because the serpent convinced eve to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge and evil. The serpent convinced eve that God doesn't have the power and is not capable to kill her. He said " you will surely not die". And because the serpent convinced her to eat the fruit, she then convinced Adam to eat the apple and God was not happy. He punished not only the serpent for convincing them to try the fruit but he also punished Adam and Eve and kicked them out of the the garden.

The Deucalion flood myth vs the epic of gilgamesh


The flood from the epic of Gilgamesh and the Deucalion myth relate and differ in a couple ways. One way these stories relate is the floods were both caused by the gods. In the epic of Gilgamesh the god Emil caused the flood because the people became negligent of their sacrifices. Which is similar to the Deucalion myth because Zues caused the flood because people became greedy and disobedient. Another way these stories are alike Is the people caused the gods to get mad and create a disastrous flood. Although they are alike the stories also differ, one way they differ is the flood in the epic of Gilgamesh only lasted six days and six nights. However the flood in the Deucalion myth lasted nine days and nine nights. Also only utnapishtim survived the flood in the epic of Gilgamesh. And multiple people such as Pyrrha and Deucalion.
