What is Perfect?

 

   What perfect means to us is that there are imperfections in everything. The imperfections are what make it unique. Perfect is different for everyone. It just depends what your viewpoint is. Sometimes perfect is associated with utopias. Utopias are also different for everyone. For some people, perfect is an island with a private dock or a feast. For others it is a run- down shack, with a couple of breadcrumbs. It depends on your viewpoint.

Utopian Motto, Seal, and Flag

    Motto-Being Perfect Is Not Possible, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to be the best you can be.-This means that you can't be perfect, but you should try your best.
    Seal-The heart represents love. The gender signs represent equality. The sun and moon represent light and peace. The music note represents creativity.
    Flag- We picked these colors and symbols for a specific reason. Red stands for love, green stands for nature, and blue stands for the sky. The moon on the black triangle stands for a ray of light in the darkness around it.                                                      The Flag

Response To The Veldt

    The theme "more is not always better" means that just because you have more stuff in your life, doesn't mean it is better. In The Veldt, the family moves into a home that does everything for them, and the parents feel like they aren't needed, the children are spoiled, and they love the house more than there parents.
    The quote, "That sounds dreadful! Would I have to tie my own shoe instead of letting the shoe tier do it? And brush my own teeth and comb my hair and give myself a bath?" makes me think that the kids are spoiled, and will never know how to do things on their own. They have grown dependent on the house and they think ththey can't live without it.
Architecture and Growth

    We are an island paradise. We have a warm temperature with cool breezes throughout the year. We are not isolated, we are connected to the mainland and we allow travel there often. We use sun, wind, and water power for energy sources. We have a gate and guards to protect us from people who want to harm the residents. We have many buildings and architectual elements on our islands.

Government

   The president rules with the owner of the island as co-president. There are branches of government though, so there isn't just one main leader. The president will decide something and the government will vote to see if it will be carried through. If enough of the residents don't like it though, it doesn't matter what the government says, it will be vetoed. The president is chosen by the people. They will vote and the person with the most votes will become president.

                                             Rules
  •  Everyone has the right to write, say, and think, whatever they want.
  • Residents cannot have weapons on the island.
  • No one can reside in your home without the homeowner's permission.
  • Everyone will be given the right of a fair trial.
  • If you try to steal, you will be in solitude for a month.
  There is a court. In a trial, if there is enough evidence, we will pick 10 random people from the residents to vote to see if you will be convicted of the crime. We do have police, but they will not be armed with any weapons.The police will maintain order without violence. We have solitude buildings, so if someone commits a crime, they go there. If there is a bad enough offense, they will be sent off the island. We do have government "helps" for medical and disability issues.
