Ok, so me/husband were watching tv and a local channel had survival tips and emergency prepare list. Do you have a kit and supplies necessary for your family/pets? What do you have and where do you store it?

We're thinking about making a kit and putting something together.. .What should we do ! I've checked out READY.gov for a list of supplies.. I was just curious on what others have- 3 have two toddlers and a large breed dog !

Thanks

Human Nature
It’s 5:30 and I stand in the school locker room drying off as I calculate in my head. I must complete my math homework, read and outline twenty pages in my history book, answers questions 1-6 for science, and read 50 pages in that war novel, All Quiet on the Western Front and write a journal. While my writing may be far from perfect, I have always taken an interested to writing, it gives me opportunities to represent my opinion on whatever I please. Writing can be never be wrong and it can never be right, it’s not like a math problem, a science question or the occurrence of a historical event. Writing is interpretation and personal thought that will never be judged. Techniqually reading contains all these qualities as well. However, I am usually not a fan of reading because of the lack of time I have. Each day as I read, or looked at SparkNotes, All Quiet on the Western Front represented one quality: loss and how to deal with it. Paul, the soldier narrating, demonstrated that the only way to survive The War is to forget about the sorrows and the regret and the death and to move on.
About five of six journals supported the idea that Paul and the other comrades never completely mentally faced the horrors and reality of death. My journals for All Quiet on the Western Front were short. I tried to include my opinions on each reading response, but found it hard as I had trouble relating to the issues in All Quiet on the Western Front. The first couple of journals I produced showed no opinions or emotions, they simply stated Paul’s observations.
“The quote above illustrates a time when the soldiers view a comrade in horrible shape, for probably the last time. The author notes the soldier’s mental appearance through his physical appearance” (von Blohn, Journal 1). This excerpt from my journal demonstrates the “dryness”and inability to connect emotional with All Quiet on the Western Front. The excerpt has no opinion and states the obvious, it does not even attempt at digging under the surface to find an underlying meaning. I’d like to think that my responses have evolved since Response #1. They’ve become more opinion oriented without straying from All Quiet on the Western Front completely. “Detering did not die in battle (“the noblest way to fight”) but died “betraying his country. Detering has done nothing but the sort, he has betrayed himself. He threw away all his hard work of survival in lei of almost inevitable human emotions” (von Blohn, Journal #6). This passage demonstrates that my journals have changed; they have become more opinion oriented.
Although my journals have changed, the prompt I chose to write about has not. Throughout six journals, I pretty much stayed loyal and chose to observe the mental happenings of the soldiers. I wrote about how the soldiers never completely thought about death on the battlefield, how they chose to stow away these emotions and if it was healthy or not. Despite learning about all the mental disasters the soldiers avoided, I never really thought about these qualities as specific to the soldiers. My journals clarified to me the ways that different people choose to deal with loss and mental trauma.
In the “real world”, the world that has no literal battlefields, shell holes, rifles and officers, mental trauma is vented out or wallowed in. In the battle world, the world with battlefields, shell holes, rifles and officers, mental trauma is seldom thought about. It becomes a danger to wallow in self-pity and emotion. The soldiers’ ability to numb emotions makes them stronger on the battlefield and our ability to wallow makes us weaker in society. These two methods are anything but parallel. Through my reading of All Quiet on the Western Front, I have tried to identify the better method. My journals have allowed me to realize it’s not a question of better or worse, but a question of human survival. The soldiers quickly become surrounded by death. Most citizens don’t see death everyday. Death becomes an almost unreal occurrence until we see it firsthand. Therefore we don’t have the complete explicit need to survive.
Our level of need to survive controls how we display and react to emotion. As humans, our foundation in life is to survive. So I have come to the conclusion that in all of us, no matter how deep down, we all have the need and knowledge to numb our emotions under certain circumstances. It slowly becomes human nature.
the original prompt:

Reflect on and discuss the content of your reading response journals. What elements of the novel did you tend to write about? How did your responses over the course of the novel change, in terms of content, development, thoroughness, etc. How did the journals serve in terms of encouraging you to extend your consideration of the implication of the text? Use this prompt if you truly feel the journals individually and as a whole reflect strong intellectual involvement with the novel.

It's a strong essay, with some general editing it should pull in a decent grade, however, after reading the prompt I don't think you covered quite everything your teacher asked for, so just beef it up a little in this respect and clean up your spelling and you've got it. The only really vague bit was at the beginning where you say that you like to write, but don't have time to read, I think should be cut or revised. Good work.
