"What inventions would you like to see in the future?"
Oh gosh - I don't know what I'd want to see in the future! I'm not a very futuristic person (if anything, I'm more like the opposite haha!). Let's see...I think I would like an animal-translator. That way my animals could insult me to my face. ;) Haha no, I'm just kidding, but I think I'd like to know what my horse says when she nickers to me and what the cats are constantly screaming at each other. I want to know if Romeo would be as talkative as me! What would they all say if they could? Would the bunnies be sassy? Would the steers tell terrible jokes? Now I'm just curious!!

"How did the loss of knowledge contribute to the time period known as the Dark Ages?"
I think that new powers rise up and attempt to destroy history because it's a way of belittling the people and their culture. Those kind of actions make the people afraid and more acceptant of the new rulers, because the rulers would prefer to brainwash the masses into thinking there was nothing before power came along. Keeping old traditions and old thinking will only spark hatred among the people, which can only lead to rebellion and being overthrown (any tyrant's worst nightmare). If you burn a nation's books you burn an entire nation's knowledge, and they have to begin from square one. If you keep the people's minds from progressing, they won't know any better than to agree to the government, no matter what it tells them to do. This is SO DANGEROUS, I can't even fathom it. I kinda want to puke from thinking about it. No wonder it was called the Great Interruption, because ruler after ruler would slow any kind of mental progress down to the speed of molasses. "Do you think that Cedric's belief in his grandfather was a force for good? Can our belief in others or other's belief in us, both good or bad, can be a force in our lives?" I do believe that Cedric was a good influence on his grandfather. I think Cedric saw the best in everyone, especially his elders, and it helped everyone act accordingly. There's something amazing about the world through a child's eyes - when they think they see something in me, I want to fulfil their visions. I want to be the person they think I am, and that is definitely a positive influence on my actions. Whether it's my little cousins coming to play, or my 3-year-old friends sitting behind me at church, they light up my day. I think that knowing someone is watching and looking up to you is very powerful.
Can our belief in others be a force as well? Yes, I think so. People will only become what you let them become. I think believing the best in people is seeing the best in people, because if you think good things you will see good things all around you. |
