Paradise City

      We picked the name Paradise City because that's exactly what we wont our utopia to be, a paradise. What is our definition of paradise you may ask? Well our definition of a paradise is absolutely based on what your needs and thoughts are, if you have a problem we will do our best to fix it. Paradise definitely is our middle name.

Declaration of Independence

     As citizens of Paradise City, we want a communtiy that demonstrates freedom, liberty, and justice. We created Paradise City because we feel that society in general was in need of a community with fairness, relaxation, and peace. Society is full of things that do not show these things. We tried to make Paradise City an ideal society for people of all ages. Citizens should feel very safe in our utopia.
     Our society does not accept drugs, war, and violence. New citizens that are moving to Paradise City are required to be checked of their belongings for any illegal drugs. If they have any illegal drugs, then they are not allowed to live in Paradise City. Conflicts between other communites are not settled with war. They are settled with court, or proper meetings with the people in charge of those communities.
     Video games are the only thing in the communtiy that are allowed to express violence. Divorces, crimes, custody matters, or anything to do with the law, is settled in court. Wealthy citizens are supposed to pay higher income taxes than any middle class citizens because they make more throughout the year. Guns are not allowed in Paradise City. If you are caught with fire arms, you will be exiled from our society.

Utopia Motto and Seal

We picked this motto and seal because in our utopia we have no worries, no drugs or violence. We start and end everyday peacefully and ready to take on the day ahead of us, we think this motto represents our utopia very well

Utopian Animal

Our Utopian Animal

     The animal we chose for our utopia is the sun bear. We chose the sun bear because it was cute and it resembled the sun which to us resembles happiness. Also because bears resemble strength
and the strength of our community.

Governing Body

     Our utopia is a monarchy. There is one ruler in charge of the whole utopia. They only are allowed to make decisions based on what is best for the citizens of Paradise City. These decisions include anything that have to do with the safety of the citizens, and anything related to citizens' rights. Before the ruler makes a final decision, the citizens are allowed to vote about what they want. It is anonymous voting. All of the votes will be sent to the ruler, and he/she will make the final decision.

Dear journal,

      Today is September 7th 2013.  My two kids Caroline and Henry just got on the school bus.  Caroline is 6 and Henry is 8.  I am off to work.  I am a registered nurse.  I work at the hospital in the emergency room.  My shift today is 7am to 12pm, then I go home and take a nap, get the kids off the bus, feed them dinner, spend sometime with my husband, rest and go back to work 9pm to 5am.  Today the emergency room is busy.  I go in and start my busy day.  My first patient today is a little girl who is about Carolines age with a broken arm.  She was so scared to get an x-ray but was a brave little girl and went and got one.  It was an easy patient to take care of.  My next patient, wasnt so easy or lucky as the little girl with the broken arm.  My next patient was a teenager about 16 years old who got into a car accident.  When the patient came in he was not responsive and barely breathing.  We did as much as we could and then the patient went to ICU to try and recover from his severe head trauma.  The rest of the day consisted of patients that were treated for dehydration and broken limbs.  At 12pm my shift ended.  I went to the grocery store got some lunch and took a nap until the kids got home.  At 3pm I got the kids off the bus, helped them with their homework and then I brought Caroline to dance class and Henry to baseball.  My husband got home at 5pm from work.  He is a paramedic and firefighter,  We ate dinner, I gave the kids baths, put them to bed, spent time with my husband, went to bed and started my next shift.

Dear Journal,

     This summer has gone by so fast. I'm upset that it is almost over. For now, I just need to relax while it lasts. So, today my friends and I went to the beach. I woke up at about 9 o'clock, called my friends Zack, Karin, Somaiya, Evelynn, and Sam, and we planned on going to the beach at 10. So, I packed a lunch, and got my bathing suit on. Then I drove to my friends' house and got them, and we all drove to this awesome beach. I went swimming almost the entire time. When I wasn't swimming, I was laying on the lawn chair with a towel over me because I didn't want to get a bad sun burn. Some of my friends went snorking and saw beautiful fish. I went with them as well, and saw clown fish, baby turtles, and sting rays. Snorkling is my favorite thing to do in the ocean. It is so fasinating to go snorkling, I love it!! After snorkling, we ate lunch, and we headed home. It was about 1 o'clock when we ate lunch. I dropped my friends off at home, and we planned to get cleaned up and come to my house to watch movies. My friends came over my house at 7, and we started watching a bunch of classic movies like The Breakfast Club. That's my favorite movie! My friends slept over because we didn't finish watching movies until 1 in the morning. This was one of my favorite days of the summer.

                                With Love,
                        Meghan.
