My Mad dream of an Essay

Remember that time you ate that meal just before you went to bed on the night before the big Pre-Lim Swim-meet ?  Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election.  When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the shaky details, but after reading "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder" it's all coming back to you now.

The dream started badly.  You were in line with your family at a Polling Station waiting to be sent to America's Funeral.  Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect Tilda-Hair, looking like a crazy Cannibal who could eat a whole Nation in one single bite.   

Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "Ne Te Quaseveris Extra."  You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to fight back.  But it wasn't easy.  First you had to put on a fancy shirt and tie and then you had make a trip to go back in time to the polling station so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the "wall."

But right there in the Polling Station there was a giant Poster and it started yelling at everyone.  People started to gaze in wonder.  You grabbed a Hose from a nearby Fire Prevention location and yelled that we should make our own decisions in life.  Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.

Ralph Waldo-Emerson warned taught us not to look outside ourselves to solve life's problems. In A sound of Thunder, Ray Bradbury foreshadowed the outcome of our decisions through using a Butterfly as a Metaphor for the chaos theory, a chain reaction of events that would forever alter our future. If we take both warnings from those two extraordinary men, we won't let these events come true. If we think for ourselves and not others-become self-reliant-we can truly follow 'Ne te Quaseveris Extra.' If we follow the warning in 'A sound of thunder(the Butterfly Metaphor),' we won't have to have petty arguments about how you hate your nation becuase you disagree with another individual's decision.
