Post #9

Describe the "Rusty Ruins". What are they? What happened during this time period?  The "Rusty Ruins" is a place where "Rusties" lived. They worked in buildings, "like bees in a hive". Something tried to destroy the "Rusties". In the book it talks about flames and fire, that destroyed the city. The "Rusty Ruins" was like our time period. They burned trees, for wood,and burned oil for fuel. They had roller coasters, and cars, and other stuff like that. 
Define Peer Pressure. Think of a time when it happened to you, or someone you know and explain it in a paragraph. One time I was spending the night at my friend's house. Everyone there wanted to watch a movie, I knew my parents wouldn't approve. I didn't want to disobey my parents, but I was to embarassed to tell them I couldn't watch that movie. I finally gathered up the courage to ask my friend if we could watch another movie. All of my friend's friends wanted to watch the movie, and she didn't want to disappoint them or me. She finally said,"Your parents will never know you watched this movie." I called my mom to pick me up, because I had no intention of watching that movie, and I felt uncomfortable waiting in the other room for my friends to finish it. My mom said she was proud of me for doing the right thing.
