Week 1 Pt3: Alone in a quiet room. But what's really happening?

Alone in a quiet room. But what's really happening? 

This is a loaded question. I sit alone in my room, while the world is in turmoil. Overseas, people are in an uproar, we may start a war with Syria, and our economy is plummeting. Our President blatantly ignores our God-given rights and constitutional rights. The attempt to remove our right to bear arms, our only way to protect ourselves from conscienceless people who are determined to do evil. Meanwhile, our government takes nearly 30% of hard working American's money, and gives it to people that are not willing to support themselves. Our system is majorly flawed when people on welfare make more "per hour" then the required minimum wage determined by the federal government. And while this is all going on, the whole world is in an uproar about Miley Cyrus? Really? We may start World War III with Syria and their ally Russia and the mainstream media is discussing the overly sexual display Miley Cyrus gave during a concert?.... Obviously, my generation is oblivious to the issues in the world, if that is the focus of the media.

  1. It IS a loaded question!

    But what the load is is up the writer! Some people go this route: on the outside, I'm home and it's quiet, but on the inside what's really happening is that I'm a raging maniac--or some version of that.

    You go the other direction: I'm home and under control but on the outside what's really happening is six kinds of crazy.

    And that's a perfectly reasonable way to deal with the prompt.
