Hypocrite

Being a hypocrite is being someone your not. Many people are hypocrites in there own way. People may not think they are hypocrites but they are. Friends are hypocrites as well as family members and everyone else in the world. I think that people are hypocrite just so they can fit in and be cool.

Hypocrite

There are many hypocrite's in the book "The Bar Code Tattoo", for example Zekeal is one. He pretends to be someone he is not, he was in this anti- tattoo group with Mfumbe and Kayla, but he ended up being a spy for Global 1. Throughout the book Kayla and Mfumbe try to escape from Zekeal because he is trying to capture Kayla and Mfumbe for global 1 so they both get their tattoo's.

idealist

I am an idealist. I am a dreamer, and i believe in a hundred impossible things before breakfest just as alice in wonderland does.I see everything as the class is half full instead of it half empty.I believe that idealist is someone who is always on the bright side of everything. A realist is a person who looks at things as the class is half empty

hypocrite

A hypocrite is defined as a person who pretends to be who he/she is not. People are all hypocrites even though if they intend not to be.I believe that everyone even my self and people from the book are hypocrites. People may or may not what to do something, but are pressured into doing it. They do it anyway regardless on how they feel. This makes people. hypocritical. Double standers being set up, also falls under being hypocritical.

" Mankind's greatest gift,also its greatest curse,is that we have free will"

I Feel that this quote is true beacuse people have free will, but some of them don't realize that they don't think about how they do it. Maybe if people though a little more and had more commom sense about it then it would be less of a curse.

DEBT

Debt is something that is owed or that one is bound to pay to or perform for another.Debt is a thing a lot of people go through be cause they always spend to much. People wouldnt be in debt if they learn how to paln out their spending and what htye do with their money. People also go in debt by oweing people money and oweing intrests if they dont pay it i s a certain time.

"Mankinds greatest gift,also its greatest curse,is what we have free will" by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

We all have friends in this world. That could be the greatest thing to some people. Just like Kayla, she just turned 17 and has the choice to get the bar code tattoo or not. She became really good friends with Zekeal(and that was her free will to do) and he was part of an-anti bar code tattoo club. But then she found out that he is also part of Tattoo Gen(which is not against bar codes). So when she was over at his house she read his emails and found that out. Then, he also told her that he just wanted Kayla to get the bar code. And now they aren't friends because he lied to her. So the greatest things in life aren't always what they seem to be. You can choose what you want to do and who who want to be(free will).

Mankind's greatest gifts......

In the quote "mankind's greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free will." by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. relates to the book allot because in chapter 13-20 Kayla finds out her friend was only using her so he could make her get the tattoo, the tattoo is "the curse" because Kayla is seeing all sorts of people having problems with them because the people that have illnesses in there family shows up in the tattoo and Katie doesn't get because she doesn't want that to be know.

Strange Occurrances

The last couple of chapters in the book have mysterious things that happen in them. Well I know that all of you might thing I might be crazy but, I have a ghost in my house. Her name is Jane and she was the little old lady who used to live in my house. She had no kids and was never married so when we bought the house she told our lawyer that she wants a young family that would take good care of her house. You all are probably wondering why this matters, but when my laundry machine and dryer were down in the basement she tended to do our laundry. The way that we found out was that one morning my Dad went down in the basement and came back up and said to my mom "wow you must have not slept last night there is a lot of laundry done." But then my mom said "what are you talking about? I slept all night." So my Mom went downstairs and the laundry had been folded a different way then everyone in the house folds laundry. So that is my strange occurrence story..

Debt ;)

The united states is crazy in debt. The dept rate goes up by the second in America. If everything just stopped right now every person would have to pay about 45 thousand dollars to pay off Americas debt. In my opinion America will always be in dept because it seems like the government wastes a lot of money on secret things they dont tell us.

The Curse

Mankind has the ability to do what every they put their mind to. This has lead to many great advances, such as the automobile, the gun, and electricity. If everybody just did the same thing then we would have nothing. Also it has lead to many troubles. Like WW1 and 2, 9/11 and everyday crimes. This happens because everybody is free to make their own decisions. In freedom there are always people that will use it in ways it was not intended. To make bad instead of do good. This is why nobody can ever have anything nice. There are the people that work hard to earn something, then the people that like to abuse this ability come and ruin it.

Debt

Many people have been in debt and had to give up there houses and vehicles. This a huge problem for the United States because were in trillions of debt. Its similar to like a rock and hardplace because whatever you do its going to take alot time and hardwork to get past this devestating barrior of debt.

government controls

In the book the government controls everyone. They forced everyone to get the tatto of the barcode. Whether people like it or not. Which many people in the book are against the barcode tattoo. Just like now, the government requires everyone to pay taxes just so they can recieve more money even though many people are against paying taxes but they dont have a choice.

Control

In the book the government controls peoples every move. They made it manditory to get the barcode tatto. Thats not much different from today though. The government montiers your every move. With all the tecnology we have today they can tell your exeact location just from a fone call. If your cell fone has the battery in it they an track it. It seems we lose more and more freedom everyday. Also in the book, the government went bankrupt and was taken over by another country. (big shocker) Our country is inching towards that now. The government is $14 TRILLION in debt! I think this book is a prediction of the future of our country.
