List 5 negative and posative conseqeunces

Negative: The first negative conseqeunce i thought of was of course conflict. With a possesion as precious and as rare as a fountain of youth there would of course be conflict for and over the fountain of youth. Anything that is that desireable will of course attract human attention and human greed and corruption aswell. With greed and corruption and a sizeable profit on the line some people would consider the fountain of youth a possesion worth dying for. The second negative effect to me would be the loss of the value of human life. If life was easily sustainable and renewable what would be the point. There would be no exictment or danger involved, no thrills or anything that involves really human enjoyment. In my opinion the best things in life don't last very long and so if life lasted forever it would not be very enjoyable. The third negative point I thought of would be that people could become too young and alter their entire lives and possibly even lead to much more serious negative conseqeunces. Because if you drank too much and became too young you might have responsibilities that you could no longer meet or even endanger your life. The fourth negative conseqeunce would be that if too many people drank the water from the fountain of youth possibly there could too many younger people with a lot less experience than older people for things such as jobs. another aspect is that too many people might need looking after and the amount of people that are capable of looking aftert them may not be enough. The final negative aspect of the fountain of youth may be that people who are old would drink the fountain of youth's water and once the effects of the water wore off then they may feel very sad and even to the point of suicide. They may get a taste for the life of a young person and want to be constantly young even though that could never happen because they could not get enough water and become depressed.

Posative conseqeunces: The fiirst posative conseqeunce of there being a fountain of youth would of course be the fact that eternal life would be possible. If of course you had the necessesary amount of money or controlled the fountain yourself you could live forever if that pleased you. Even if you didnt want eternal life though you could still survive longer than you normally would have. The second posative conseqeunce would be that important people such as scientists and leaders could be given the water near their death and could continue on with their work. This would make the entire earth a better and more advance place for example imagine if einstein or nikolas tesla and minds such as those were still around the world wwould be far better off than it is today. The third posative conseqeunce I thought of would be the long lasting life of things such as livestock and vegeatbles. Normally they would go bad or end up dying but with the water from the fountain of youth there would no longer be any need for livestock to die and for veggies to go rotten. You can keep vegetables longer which would significently improve buisnees in the agricultural feild. The next idea I had was a buisness idea. Although this would nopt be profitable for all it wopuld be especially profitable for one and could help others out. The idea was to sell the water from the fountain of youth. This would make enourmous net gains and also would create a huge chain of buisness which would give loads of other peoples jobs, which in turn would help the nations economy. The last posative conseqeunce was that for wherever this fountain of youth was foiund it would be a national treasure. Making it, naturaly, a highly regarded tourist destination and that would boost that places local economy aswell as the countries economy because the two are linked. Making the entire country and possibly even the countries trading partners more rich.

Describe the setting: The setting takes part in three diffrent parts. The first of those being the orphanage in which Gabriel grew up in the second being the ship that took Gabriel to the new world where the story begins and the new world itself. The orphange that Gabriel live in for the majority of his life has like most other orphanges in those days, of poor qaulity. The rooves were made out of old rotting wood which looked as if it could have fallen in any day. And everytime it rained as it did so much in England water would seep through the wood making almost impossible to sleep. The smell of the rotted molded would was awful too, it smelled as if a rat had died, which could have actually been the smell because there was a rat invasion in the kitchens. The floor boards were just as rotten, you always got the sense that you had to tred lightly on the floors as it felt as if they could fall in at any moment. They were creaky too, just like a haunted house every step you took was followed by a high pitched creaking noise. The beds seemed to be made out of better wood but it still wasn't the Hilten. Yet the sheets always felt cold and dirty offering little protection from the rain dripping in from the ceiling and not to mention from the breeze coming frrom the drafty walls. Not to mention the matresses which felt like sleeping on a concrete floor. The mess hall was just the same made out of the same shady materials exept that place smelled like rotting food from all the half eaten sandwiches and food bits crammed in every corner of the room which the cleaning staff could never hope to find. The living quarters were cramped, everyone had a bunk bed and the one room for boys had at least 40 kids in it and the same thing for the girls side. Overall not a good place to live, it always smelled of mold, and rat droppings, the beds and sheets were rarely washed and the entire place felt damp and drafty, it was indeed a place that I would never want anyone to live in. The second of the two setting being th eboat I will talk about now. The boat, unfortunately was much like the orphanage. Just as before it smelt but not because of mold but because the odd fishy smell you always get when your near the sea. It smelt of that for weeks but of course bad smells where nothing that I wasn't used too. The boat too was very creaky and gave me the impression that it was very old yet I knew still its bows where safe. It had a beautiful statue of a mermaid on the front. The paint was slightly chipping off and faded but that made it more beautiful to me it made it look more rustic yet at the same time it as majestic. I imagined if it had a personality it wouldn't care what people thought it had its own opinions and fellt strongly about them. The living quarters where again tight but still it felt more homey and welcoming. The walls kept out the cold from the night sky and dim candle light lit up the cabin, only the faintest glow lit up the tired travellers faces. I slept in a sort of hammock device exept that was secure to the wall. We ate at what looked like tables from a pub but it didnt matter to me at that point because the food was revolting and really that was all I was focused on. All in all it was a step up from my previous home all though not much better I would take it for now. The final setting in the story takes place in Lakeland Florida. Im sure this kind of setting is familiar to us all as Gabes new home is secluded from others in a forest. The reference being to Mt. Doug park being a forest and most people have taken in the beatiful scenery of humongous oak trees and moss fuzzy soft moss growing on all sides. The first thing I noticed about the landscape around my new home was the towerering tree's. They looked like oak and looked as if they were as tall as the sky itself. You could see the bark starting to peel of the tree and the contrast from the dark brown outside of the tree and the more soft reddish color. As you walked the trees would slightly block the sun but every once in a while there was a break in the trees and the light shone through ilumanting the forest floor. Of course there were no pathes yet because i was the first of eventually many to come, so the floor of the forest was lightered with fallen trees and uprooted trees, truely awe inspiring sights. There was a mountain range in the background which was beatiful as the backdrop to a forest. At night the sun set over the mountain and the sky was filled with vivid colours of orange and pink. My house was right dead centre in the forest. It was a log cabin made of the same oak in which the forest I lived in. This cabin was unlike anything I was used to before, It was spacious four rooms all to myself. The bed room was full of new beautifully stained furniture and everything was made of that beautiful wood that I enjoyed so much. Since the whole place was new there was not a single smell, leak or draft in the entire house. This was luxury to me as I had never had it so good. For the first time in my life I had a house that I truely felt welcome in and could call my own.

What is the main conflict?:

The main conflict is between Jonas and the fountain of youth, as well as between himself as result of other peoples taunting even before the story comes into place. First when Jonas finds the fountain of youth he thinks nothing of it and takes a drink thinking it was just normal water. But he starts to feel funny as he is walking back to his cabin, as if he was rejuvinated, as he had gotten more energy, as he if was younger again. Little did he know though that it was not just a feeling but an all to real truth. Once he got back to his cabin he looked in a mirror and was terrified what he saw. It was the kid himself all over again. The same kid that was tormented by othe rchioldren back in England the same kid in his past which he hoped to escape by coming to Lakeland. Yet while he was terrified at the effectrs the water had, had on him he was still drawn to it, he loved the feeling it gave him as if it was a high and he an addict. He wanted more even though he knew that the more he drank the deeper into his past he would travel. He managed to fight of the addicitive propertese of the water and decided to travel into town to get help. Although while there his past came back to haunt him. While he was in the waiting room for a docter he was surrounded by other children. He felt paranoid eyes looking at him from all angles, faint giggles and laughter is all he could hear. He began to sweat, his heart rate rose higher than when he ran to the docters, his eyes twitched back and forth hoping to catch children starring and laughing. He couldn't take it and broke running out of the docters office. He sat in his house clenching his hair trying desperately to get the taunting out of his head. He seemed like a mental institute escapee and he had finally reached the end of his rope to the point where he ran off into the forest and was never seen again. So the main conflict was partly against the rejuvinating properties of the water aswell as the addictive properties. Gabes past also significently contributed to the overall outcome but all in all if he had not found the fountain he might have avoided the whole thing. Even he seeked a second chance in America all he really did was go back to the past he was trying to escape in the first place.

How does your character change over the course of the story?:

Besides the state of GAbes he doesn't change very much over the course of the story. IN the beggining of the story Gabe is very shy and likes to live his life alone and away from the possible creulness of other people, due to his childhood. From the beginning of the story Gabes attitude towards the outside world doesn't change. He still beleives that all people are creul and only wish to laugh at him because he thinks hes a creep. In fact I'd go as so far to say that Gabes feeling of coldness and creulty towards others in the end is just intesified as he feels he is being treated awfully again, and thats why he disapears. Although for the first time in Gabe's life he had been addicted to something because of the water from the fountain of youth. Other than that Gabe is a pretty undynamic character in the way that he is set in his beleifs and is unwelcome to any sort of change. Which suites his character as that is also true in much more minor things, he likes routine and things that are expected instead of surprises.

Describe the irony in your story:

The Irony in my story is the fact that GAbe decided to settle in the Americas because of his childhood. He wanted to escape England because it reminded him too much of the orphenage and his traumatic time as a child. The irony in the story is that the thing that he intended and wanted to escape the most is actually the thing that he revisited and became a reality to him. The reason that he left England in the first place was to being a child when ironicly he went to America and returned to his youth again which was the last thing he wanted to do. So the irony in the story is that he wanted to escape for a second chance at life but the thing he was trying to escape he ended up getting closer to.

What symbols are present in your story?:

In my story there are a few symbols. First of all the water from the fountain of youth does not represent simply water it is a symbol. It stands for addiction and Gabes struggle trying to overcome his past. This is because the water is addicting to Gabe so obviously there is a clear connection to the waters addicitive properties and Gabes addiction to it. The water stands for Gabe trying to overcome his past because the water is what caused his life changing scenerio in the first place. If he had not found the water he would not have become youthfull and eventually run away and never be seen again. Because the water forced him to face his worst fear aswell makes it represent the struggle between him and his past. Another symbol used in my story is Gabes heart beat and flustering eyes while in the waiting room of the doctors office. His heart beat and eyes stand for firstly panic and confusion but aswell as Gabes tormented past. It stands for panic because normally when people panic they do such things as raise their heart beat and there eyes wander so there is also a clear connection there. His raise in heart beat stands for his past because when he was a child being bullied was such a tormenting thing that everytime he felt insecure or that he was being taunted his heart rate and eyes would raise/fluster and so know it has become a natural reaction as he is realiving the past that he wished never to know again.

What is the the theme of your story?: The theme of my story is that sometimes you cannot simply run away from your fears that it is sometimes better to face them and confront your problems. Also that just because you are lucky enough to get a second chance doesn't necesarily mean that you'll make your life better, that you could just make the same mistakes over again. This shows in my story because when Gabe tries to run away from his problems he ends up making them even worse than before, and even though he tries to get away from his problems he eventually has to face them. If he had simply tried to face his problem while in England and not have run away he might have been able to avoid this entire problem. That situation just goes to show that running away was clearly not the situation and that you can't runn away is truely the theme of the story. Also because of Gabes end result of coming to the point of insanity proves that even though he got a second chance he messed it up and made the same mistakes over again. If Gabe had faced his fears in England it is highly likely he'd still be sane and under control of his life, so it just goes to show that it is worse to run away that to face your problems.
