Period 3

                                                                                                                                9/28/16

                                                                                                                                Mrs. Brown

         The theme of "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" is that people will go crazy and hurt or kill each other just because of little things that happen to the or in their community. According to the text it says "with few variations. They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find, and its themselves. After reading that little section it showed that whenever something bad happens in a community and don't understand why its happening they will just turn on each other, and they thing by doing that they will get some answers and people will tel what they are doing when really the people getting blamed don't now either. And since people do that it always leads to arguments, fights, people getting hurt, and sometime people die. Another statement from the text says " Electricity's off. Phone wont work. Cant get a thing on the radio. My power mower wont move, won't work at all. Radios gone dead. And that shows how everything thing stopped working and it caused lots of trouble and later in the text much more things happen like, Pete Van Horn gets shot by Charlie because he was afraid. Then the lights go on and off, and Mr. Goodman, Steve, and Charlie al get into a argument. After their argument it caused all of them to end up being blamed, when really it wasn't any of the neighbors it was the two figures just messing with them to get them to hurt each other and that's exactly what they did the neighbors just helped the figures get what they wanted. 

          This theme is relevant today because when people get angry they might do bad things that they thought would be okay when it really isn't. for example some teenagers might beget mad at their parents and then do something terrible because they are angry with them. According to research "A South Carolina teenager is suspected of opening fire at an element you school playground, wounding two students and a teacher- just one minute after placing a tear phone call that led tot eh discovery of his fathers body at a nearby home." After reading that article it showed that a young teen must have gotten angry with his father and so he raged and hurt people and killed his father. Just like what happened in "Monsters Are Due On Maple Street," Pete Van Horn got killed and the others got into arguments and those arguments led to fighting. Another article says "Bombs Rain Down On Aleppo" and the quotations under the title says "Darkness And Fear Take Over." After reading this article's heading if showed right away how fear and anger can take over an entire community, even a city can taken over by fear and anger. 

The way it is in are communities today is 90% of our world have social media and on this people are mean and don't respect people in the world and say bad stuff about them. They think it is fine and they are making people feel bad but they don't know that they are making themselves look bad. Here is some evidence from the text "This was a sad story but many people have been writing hat comments about the Orlando shooting at the gay club" many people out there hate that gay is legal because many people think we should date or marry are opposite sex because god said so. It is possible they both will be marked down savagely by sections of the public. Nether offered or demanded companies and it now seems certain labor and the greens will block it in the senate.

The way it is in are communities today is when you don't say something online and then two days later your friend walks up to you and says you did then someone told them something. In the text it says " Charlie blames Tommy because his lights were on and Charlie said " Its... Its the kid. Its Tommy he's the one. So in the sorry there is a spaceship that flys over head and they don't want to believe it is an alien so they blame each other that the power is out. Or someone shot a man on purpose. It is the same thing on social media people believe something a person says but doesn't know if they are right so they blame an insistent person for something they didn't do. That is how it can relate to are world today.

     This is relevant today because people today are making protests at police officers. In the news it states "Demonstrators carried signs chanted and marched in a peaceful protest hours after the family of a black man shot by police released video showing the events leading up to his death." Everyone is protesting about how a police officer shoots a black man people are standing up to this they said to upload the video so everyone can see what happened. These protests kept going but something bad happened "Earlier in the week, the Charlotte protest turned violent with demonstrators attacking reporters and others, setting fires and smashing windows of hotels, office buildings and restaurants." People in the protest were very angry it turned into mayhem this was the same thing as monsters are due on maple street when everyone in the story went crazy breaking everything and jumping to conclusions.

     This theme is relevant today because Kim Kardashian was attacked by the same guy who grabbed Gigi Hadid.

In the article the prankster explains rushing Kim Kardashian ", written by Lisa Respers states " I was protesting Kim for using fake butt-implants," he wrote I encourage her and the rest of the Kardashian clan to popularize natural beauty among teenage girls who follow and defend them blindly." In 2011 Kardashian had X-rays to prove that she does not have implants to boost her posterity." I swear I didn't know she was gong to be there," he wrote." So I had to come out with an idea very fast." Seduik said he just had happened to be " outside" the elegant restaurant to use free wifi and eating my ice cream" when Kardashian West  showed up. 

          This theme is relevant today because when kids are outside there is kidnappers who pose as nice people but they are bad and mean because that's what they really are. According to the ohio.com article " a man suspected of posing as a police officer so he could kidnap a 9 year girl". As we can see this man posed as a police officer to kidnap a little girl. He made himself look like a nice man but was actually evil. In the ohio.com article it also says that " the man coerced her into the pickup truck". The good thing is that the girl is still alive. That's looks can be deceiving and also don't trust no one because you don't know who they are and capable of doing.

                                                                                                                                Mrs. Brown
