A Hug is nearly a Gun spelled Backwards

A hug is simply a show of affection. It's almost like telling someone "I love you" without technically saying those words. To me I feel very uncomfortable with hugs. It just makes me feel all awkward when someone hugs me. For many people (excluding me), a hug is a comforting thing. It makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
       I do agree with E.M. Forster. Patriotism is basically someone love for their country. I like our country because we are "free". But with everything that has been going on has deflated my love for this country. Now before people start getting mad let me just say I was born here. So I have the right to express my right to freedom speech. I'm not very patriotic. I feel that personal relations are more important.
        Personal relations is more to me for many reasons.

Satire Project

      *listen to "Bittersweet* by P!ATD*
In my English class we had to do a satire project. I have to be completely honest. I had no idea what satire was or how to even come up with a project idea for it. All of my friends have had just fabulous ideas from getting rid of drugs by smoking it or for people to get their chest and down removed so that we'll all be equal. For my satire, I have come up the idea of how many people (specifically Donald Trump) keep getting mad that 'immigrants' are taking their jobs.
