Honesty
I think that neither is more important than the other. You have to have a balance of both in order for things to work out well. For example, if a really ugly person came up to you and asked you if they were ugly, but they were beautiful on the inside, then it's okay to lie and tell them they are beautiful because it's what's on the inside that counts. That's kindness- wanting to protect their feelings because you care about them.
Some people are very honest, which is a good thing, but if you have no compassion for someone's feelings then it can be very bad. Although, people who are only a kind butt kisser kind of person who never tell the honest truth are very bad and very frowned upon. Like I said before, there must be a balance of both.
Just recently, one of my friends got suspended from school for talking badly about a teacher in front of the teacher's aid. She was in a lot of trouble, but to make things worse, she lied and said she never said any of it and got herself in a lot more trouble. Moral is- never talk badly about your teacher's in front of the teacher's aid and lying won't make things any better if you are in trouble.

It's the End of the World As We Know It.
Personally, I would grab anything that had calories and would last a while, but if I really couldn't I would hurry to grab a package of oreos.
Oreos are delicious with or without milk and they have always been a treat that my family and I have eaten together and made memories with. We all love oreos in my family and I think it would be very special if we shared the last of our food together, as a way of saying goodbye. But I actually hate talking or even thinking about these kind of things because they make me very sad and want to cry because I don't want to ever have to lose my family. I mean, I would rather let myself die then one of my family members because I love them so much.

Super Power
The power of persuasion can be dangerous if given to the wrong person. Just think, if you were incredibly persuasive you could get anything you desired, anytime anywhere.
If a person who was greedy for power was very persuasive they could get to the top with ease and could maybe rule the world if they liked. But if they were evil and they had convinced us all to do evil on our own will, does that mean that we are evil too?
If I had the amazing power of persuasion I would use it for good. I would try not to use it to cheat, but instead I would persuade others to not cheat and lie and steal. I would convince people that hate and cruelty are very wrong and should never be performed under any circumstances. If I had the power I would unite everyone in peace, and tell people that our planet is a top priority and should be taken care of. Although I am not a tree hugger hippy green person, I do believe in preserving our planet's natural beauty.
Maybe there are people that have persuasive powers out there, just not as we think of them. Maybe they only work to a certain extent, maybe they just hide their powers because they know how destructive persuasian can be. Maybe.

Book Review
The most recent good book that I have read was a book that I finished last night called Goose Girl. I have read so many amazing books that I absolutely love, but Goose Girl was the most recent so I will write about it.
The Goose Girl started out telling about a Crown Princess, Ani, who was brought up mostly by her aunt, who taught her to love nature and how to speak the language of animals. After her aunts death, her mother the Queen, kept her in solitude, not letting her see her brothers and sisters. After a few years, Ani finds the reason is because she has been promised to a Prince in the neighboring kingdom. It was 3 months travel to get to the kingdom and Ani had brought all of her things, along with her lady-in-waiting and many guards. There was a mutiny, lead by Ani's lady-in-waiting who had been jealous of Ani all her life and was going to take her place. Ani got away with her life and finally made it to the city, and had many trying times trying to earn money to get back to her original kingdom, to tell what had happened, being the goose girl of the king. Finally, after a long time of hiding she and her friends go to tell the king the truth before the Prince weds the fake Princess and a false war was started. In the end all is well and Ani marries the man she loves, who turns out to be the very handsome Prince.
I loved this book, especially the ending cause I kinda fell in love with the Prince too. I wouldn't change a thing because it was so good and there was lots of action, drama and a little romance.
I highly recommend this book to young teens who love fantasy. I would have to rate the book as a 4.5, because I'm not quite sure what a 5 is, but this book what pretty close.

LMA
Lauren had always been like a young, female, Indianna Jones. She loved her job as an archeaologist but it was never a quiet simple job. There were always fiends after the treasures of the past, always willing to kill her to get to them.
She had always felt that it was her duty to protect the valuable treasures and keep things in order. It had always been easy for her to uncover history, but that made it so much easier for trouble to find her.
Although she was only 14 she was a world renowned archeaologist who was the creditor for many of the fasinating finds of our world's history. Not all people praised her for it though, some were jealous, some even wanted to kill her because they believed that she had stolen something precious from them. Lauren was a bit blind to that, in fact so blind that when she was on her way to the excavation site in Moscow, she never saw what was coming for her...

Ultimate Winter Break
My ultimate winter break would have to be having a huge party.
For Christmas, I would keep things simple and just with my family but to ring in the New Year I'd do it with a bang.
I would buy all my family and friends nice, expensive gifts and then on New Year's Eve I'd throw the biggest party known to man. I would host the party at disneyland, or somewhere amazingly fun and awesome. I would be the host to the greatest party ever known to man. That's what I'd do if money did not matter.
