The three messages are: we are hopeless of war and fighting, we are powerless when it comes to some certain events, and that our environment at times can’t be escapable. I’ll continue explaining my points and give reasoning throughout this essay. One of the three messages are; that we are hopeless of war and fighting.

All men are born with evil in their hearts. Only the truly strong can overcome it. I have never been one to back down from a fight, since I was young I have learned to fight strong, fight mad, and fight dirty.

Unfortunately, the adage of “might makes right” inevitably leads to making some enemies, and other than my own demons, my enemies revolve around Viktor Kirov, whom I have clashed with on multiple occasions.…

Pete began pacing the porch. “What Martyn said to you about the solar system might explain the red sunsets and sunrises. The lights I've seen behind the clouds. People don't think to look up any more. Apart from farmers and sailors most seem to have forgotten how to read the weather by observing the sky. If what your friend says is true, we can’t believe what we see when we look up, because the sky is a lie.” “Martyn said it's getting too close. They won’t be able to hide it much longer.” “Is he…

explore, but to also stay put and observe its greatness. Sometimes to rush after your future, you have to stop running and plant yourself in one place. I believe that obstacles are the creation of our imagination; as the same, the source of our imagination encircling the world. Jeffery Trooper –“Time heals all wounds”.
