The greatest story ever told is called,"The Lone Survivor" by Marcus Lutrell. It tells a story about U.S Navy Seals in Afghanistan fighting against the Taliban. And the story really goes into detail to show the brutality of war and and what some brave men and women go through everyday to protect their countries.The story can really tell the viewer that all their complaints are nothing compared to the complaints of the men and women that serve. This story really inspired and greatly informed me because I want to serve in the military too.

"If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too"
I really like this oxymoron because I live by this sort of motto, When everyone else says you can't do something, you take all their words and use it as motivation to whatever you seek to do.
"If you can dream - and not make dreams your master"
If you have a dream or goal to achieve, don't push away other things and people just to get your dream, have a life outside your dreams too.
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
I like this whole paragraph because it says, whenever you try to do something and fail at it, you gotta start again from the beggining to end harder and smarter then you were before.
"If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch"
When you made it to fame and wealth, don't lose touch to people who are close to you simply because they aren't famous like you. Don't fill up with ego but stay a true man to everyone no matter their circumstances.

(read the blog first then watch the vid!!!!)
"Can you tell us what was going on in your head while standing there at home base?"
"I'm just here so I wont get fined."
"What were you thinking off when the pitcher pitched the first strike?"
"I'm just here so I wont get fined."
"Were your teammates disappointing when The Great Casey struck out?"
"Hey I'm just here so I wont get fined."
"Do you think the Patrons were disappointing?"
"Still here.. So I won't get fined."
"What do you think of as the pitch is being made?"
"Hey uhh.. your time is up." leaves and answers phone call.
You did say have fun with this! :D

A hero is someone that is not afraid to risk their life for someone else's.
Romans 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this. That a man give his life,.. for his friends.
Yes, I think Shane will be hero (I already know the story) because he will be protecting the family in the future and almost give his life

The book Shane is amazing. But I would hate to make it into a movie. First because it was already attempted to be made into a movie and it sucked. Second because even if the movie turned out good, the majority would watch the movie and not care about the book. Third is because it's just the type of book that cannot be remade into real people given roles and trying to act it out in front of a camera, it just wont work out.
I think I relate more to Shane. I respect all of my enemies and their abilities and I don't underestimate people's power. Just like Shane, I don't like to fight, but if I have to then I will ruin you and your pretty face. But I fight not to prove that I am stronger than someone, it's to create peace with my enemies, just like Shane with Chris.
