Everyone wants to be cool, by (wearing the latest cloths or trying to be popular or getting a lot of girls in bed… etc) I think there is no definition to the word cool, because each person have his own definition of what cool is, we try to be cool and we feel empty, The emptiness that many of us experience is a result of our over thinking and constant performing of cool
We care what people think and us trying to be cool makes us uncool!
Whenever we want to do anything, we think people are looking at us, we think of what people are going to say and think (of that something we going to do )before we even think if we feel comfortable doing it are self’s
We care of who are we going to be seen walking with, or talking to, like why? Why don’t we just stop caring?
I think the answer of why some people do care about what other people think of them is just because those people don’t give them self enough credit , they think there less then others , and they have to ask everyone of how they look and if its good and excepted or not! They don’t believe in them self that there good enough, those people when they be afraid of being not looking good and afraid of what they be doing , that makes them not free makes them act different and that makes them “uncool” to people. I think that’s when the feeling of emptiness comes, when this group of people that (care about what people think) say something and couple of people laugh, then they think that there dumb and they would think of it before they sleep of who was there when those people laughed and they keep thinking of it again and again, that’s the feeling of emptiness but why don’t we just stop caring? I still don’t know the answer for this question.
. “I wonder how they feel about themselves..." (Gwendolyn Brooks) I was surprised when she said that line I was expecting her to say something along the lines of, I wonder if they think they are cool for not going to school... I think the way she decided to put it however makes a whole lot more sense to finding the purpose of cool. Having high self-esteem is something we all want and I think that when someone has it his or her appearance and personality seems a whole lot stronger. However even the most confident person to us may seem like they know exactly what they are doing and are positive about themselves but may have a completely different idea of themselves then what appears to an onlooker. It seems as if most people for their whole lives try to find their purpose for being here, and so we observe all of the things around us. One of them being other people, we have this whole idea that by looking at other people we will find the answer. But in reality we all are so different so I don't think we are looking in the right places. I think the reason why so many people are alike is because we observe hundreds of people every day and we pick up on traits that appear to be making the person happy. Just as Gwendolyn Brooks was trying to say, what drives them to do the things they do... if they can do it can't I do it too?” Sarah Lewis H.W # 34
I think Feeling emptiness comes from the person thinking that he/she is not perfect as other or is not good as other so we feel that were less good and other are better than us so we feel lonely and that were nothing in life and that’s how feeling of emptiness comes. In my point of view I don’t think there is anyone better than other, were all equal.
Rich or poor people gets that feelings, the poor ones thinks that no point of living because they don’t have money and think that the rich people be living life and not having a bad day ever which is not right, you can be rich and not happy poor people sometimes be having a life better than rich people(less stuff to care about, don’t have much of enemies like how rich people do have most of the time) they be more calm and happy. But poor people don’t notice that of think of it
we love attention
we try to get other people attention because when everyone looks at me and laugh at my jokes then I am the coolest and sometimes the jokes be stupid but that guy who said the joke friends would laugh for him so he wont look stupid,
Some people do some weird stuff ,like dress in a weird way to get attention make fun of anyone so people can laugh and get attention to be cool. We don’t care about other people feelings, all I care about is people laughed on my joke now IM COOL
Don’t we all act in most of the stuff we do in are regular day the same way!
Well do the same way in certain stuff we act the same, we follow are culture map and the people living around us, if what there doing is okay then I can do it, if what there doing makes them cool to other people so then I should do it so I can look cool, that’s the way every one thinks, when someone don’t get the attention from the class ( no one laughs on his jokes or ignoring him) or when someone gets no attention from girls, then this person would get the feeling emptiness, because he thinks no one likes him and he’s not good like others since he got no attention.
Tattoos and cool
Some people think having a tattoo is cool and some think its not, I think it depends on how the person think and on there religion. In my religion I can’t have a tattoo even if the tattoo is going to say something religion “you have to keep in mind the fact that body piercing, tattooing, branding, etc. all fall in the category of unnecessary interference, alteration and mutilation of Allah's creation. Therefore, no Muslim, who is conscious of his religion, should ever contemplate such activities.”(islam.com), and either my culture let me get a tattoo; they would look at me like I’m doing something wrong! Because that’s how they thing and I’m not following the culture map! Are culture map is to do what are parents think is right (not talk to girls, not have tattoo’s, pray, work, finish college and work, and after you have the enough money you get married and have your own family) I believe all of it is right, but not everything! But that’s only to my religion, in other religions and cultures its okay to have tattoo’s, I think it’s all based on how we were raised to see stuff! When some people cannot get tattoo either because there Muslim or because there family don’t let them, and they see there friends having tattoo’s and they think its cool and they think there friend getting girls just because there having tattoos, then those people get the feeling emptiness and there not cool like there friends!

comments on Sarah's rough draft
I like how you have a lot of strong question in the beginning of your paper, it makes the reader excited to read more and get the answer for them.
If you want you can talk more about the 3 life’s each person that has facebook has more deeply! Like tell us in his school life he have this and then when he goes home it changes from this to this and then we he goes on facebook he changes from this mood to this mood. And you can say FaceBook was started by a 12 years old kid and now the CIA have a big control on it, they can see anyone’s information and friends!
I liked when you talked about the people that live on the island that there poor or basically don’t have what we do have, but there much happier then us. You should talk more about this say why there happy even though they have less (expansive cars and nice houses…etc) then us?!
You are saying “we buy everything that fits these characters and put on a certain role to fulfill these characters.” You can talk how u be doing that and it leads you know that it leads you to emptyniess but your still doing it!
Nice job I enjoyed reading it! thanks

Rough draft hw# 35
Thesis: we are all trying to be cool or thinking of how to be cool, just thinking of how to be cool leads us to the feeling emptiness
Paragraph 1: we care what people think and us trying to be cool makes us uncool!
Whenever we want to do anything, we think people are looking at us, we think of what people are going to say and think (of that something we going to do )before we even think if we feel comfortable doing it are self’s
We care of who are we going to be seen walking with, or talking to, like why? Why don’t we just stop caring?
I think the answer of why some people do care about what other people think of them is just because those people don’t give them self enough credit , they think there less then others , and they have to ask everyone of how they look and if its good and excepted or not! They don’t believe in them self that there good, those people when they be afraid of being not looking good and afraid of what they be doing , that makes them not free makes them act different and that makes them “uncool” to people. I think that’s when the feeling of emptiness comes , (hen this group of people that care about what people think) say something and couple of people laugh, then they started thinking that there dumb and they would think of it before they sleep of who was there when those people laughed and they keep thinking of it again and again ,that’s the feleing of emptiness
The feeling of emptiness, where does it come from and why do we think this way? And how can we fix it? I think Feeling emptiness comes from the person thinking that he/she is not perfect as other or is not good as other so we feel that were less good and other are better than us so we feel lonely and that were nothing in life and that’s how feeling of emptiness comes. In my point of view i don’t think there is anyone better than other, were all equal so no one should start thinking that there is people better than him, they probably take more attention or more love by other people to them but every person have people that loves him and cares about him
Some people see the person that has a girlfriend cooler than the one that doesn’t or if someone gets the attention is school or between family for some reasons then he’s cool or someone that’s poplar in the town, all of these when someone think of them and see his self doesn’t have one of these stuff then he’s not cool and not good as those people that does have those stuff so they start getting the emptiness feeling.
Rich or poor people gets that feelings, the poor ones thinks that no point of living because he doesn’t have money and thinks that the rich people be living life and not having a bad day ever which is not right , you can be rich and not happy and I see a lot of situations where poor people be living life better than rich people( less stuff to care about, don’t have much of enemies like how rich people do have most of the time) they be more calm and happy. But poor people don’t notice that or think of it
If a person wants to stop thinking that way then he/she needs to stop thinking that people are better than him and that there is no need for him in life were all equal no one is better than other and if you work and learn then there is need for you, but if you always wants to stay home and sleep than you wont get no where in life.
I think dogs feel emptiness like us because dogs they feel stuff, and we know that they feel stuff because when they see the person that they like they go running to him and they start licking them ,when they do that you can tell they do have feelings so they can feel the emptiness but my question is how would we know that there feeling emptiness like right on that second? And what do they do when they feel emptiness? Like us people we be saying (no point of living, i wish to die, what is this life?).
Its not cool at all to feel that way (emptiness) because its stressful and it makes the person feel not good, but what cool is, to ignore somehow that feeling and think the right way (not think your less and not good as others and that we do have a life) to make this feelings not come or go away if we do have it.
The people that just don’t care of those things are cooler than the people who do care , because they be acting normally (not looking at other peoples faces to see if there laughing,nd there face doesn’t turn red when everyone looks at them when they talk) they don’t be afraid of anything and I think that’s the right way on how to be acting.
Paragraph 2; we love attention
we try to get other people attention because when everyone looks at me and laugh at my jokes then I am the coolest and sometimes the jokes be stupid but that guy who said the joke friends would laugh for him so he wont look stupid,
Some people do some weird stuff ,like dress in a weird way to get attention make fun of anyone so people can laugh and get attention to be cool. We don’t care about other people feelings, all I care about is people laughed for me and now IM COOL now
Paragraph 3:tattoos and cool
Some people think having a tattoo is cool and some think its not, I think it depends on how the person think and on there religion. In my religion I cant have a tattoo even if the tattoo is going to say something religion, and either my culture let me get a tattoo, they would look at me like I’m doing something wrong!

HW #32
Tattoos
I wouldn’t like to have a tattoo that would stay on my body for ever or I would have to take it off with the lazier, I wouldn’t mind having the tattoo that would go away after a week or 2, and that’s because I think tattoo that stays on, I would get bored of it, just like change it, and the one that goes away would be a good one because its going away and not staying.
In my religion you cant have a tattoo on your body even if your having a tattoo of a religion thing, and in the Arabic culture people do mind there son having a tattoo, so who gets one it be a big deal, I think because most of the Arabs are Muslim and because they cant have it in there religion they just deal with it and its in there head that, that’s it no tattoo for there kids.
But I don’t think there is any point from getting a tattoo for life, like what’s the thing you are going to draw or write on your body that’s worth drawing or writing? I don’t think there is anything worth it, but if you like tattoos , just get one that goes away after a week or two and you’ll be happy and it wont stay on your body and youll get a different thing after in the same place if you want 2.
