Just One Thing.....
After reading the article about the Napoleon theme park by BBC, I was really amused on the ideas they came up for the attractions. The amusement park included some attractions about Napoleon's exile, his battles, and many of his accomplishments. One thing that I am not really happy about is that, they didn't add an area that specifically talks about Paris. Paris is where most of Napoleon's devotion and effort took place. I know they did include the Bastille where Napoleon worked, but all of the outcomes of his effort are all located in Paris. If you can't think of an amusement park ride for the ride I've got a few ideas. The jumpy coin house for kids, you all know that children LOVE those little houses filled with puffy balls made out of plastic. So if we turn those puffy balls into puffy coins, kids will still love them and while the kids are playing the adults can experience some other Napoleon attractions near the area. The sidewalks for the Paris area should have trees planted at the side, since planting trees for shades was one of Napoleon's magnificent ideas. Next, we can have little canals in the area, and people can row a boat in there. Napoleon built canals to help the citizens with water source. By building these boat rowing rides people can feel like they are historical French citizens while introducing Napoleon's accomplishments. There are so many things that are important to Napoleon in Paris, so they should have an area specifically about Paris.

The Red Trait
There are some things in life that we might not have the chance to learn, and there are somethings that everyone will learn. Courage is one of the traits you'll learn as a human. I don't think people are born with courage, since everyone has a different amount of courage. Example, in Ancient Greek we all know that Spartans and Athenians are two totally different types of citizens. Spartans must have more courage than Athenians. Why? Spartans are being trained to fight, and in order to face your enemies on the battle field you need a large amount of courage. On the other hand, Athenians focus on literature and art. This doesn't mean that Athenians don't have courage. Let's take another example. Women in the past didn't have the courage to stand up for their own rights, there was but only a few. Now, women can vote and do the same jobs as men. Education and media has influence women to gain more courage. This shows that courage is build up after time. If life started out as a pure white canvas, then the traits, talents, and education you have will be the different color. Courage will be red, since red is a bright and outstanding color just like courage.
