Reincarnation


In Social Studies, we have been talking about other world religions (Buddhism and Hinduism). Since they believe in reincarnation (and we obviously do not), I want you to put yourselves in their shoes. If you were to be reincarnated tomorrow, what would you come back as? You could be a human, animal, or a plant. You could be from the United States, Germany, Honduras, China, Russia, Kenya, or wherever you want. You could be of any nationality you choose. Just pick something to come back as and tell us why.

If I died today and came back as somebody else tomorrow, I would want to come back as a human, but not just any human, I would want to come back as a queen or princess. It would be awesome because I would get to live in a palace and people would serve me. I would be just like the girl in the Princess Diaries! I would live the sweet life and I would get whatever I want when I want! I could also take vacations to Scotland. But if I were reincarnated I would go back and see my family and talk to them (if I remember my old life). So if I were to be reincarnated I would want to come back as a princess.

if i was going to be reincarnated the next day i would be a rabbit. i could bounce around and be really fast. i might be someones pet if i was lucky. i would be pamperd and maybe even get my own bed to sleep in. i would get fed properly every day and there would be no worries. maybe they would even have a special place where i can dig up things. if i wasn't bought by someone and was a wild rabbit i could do lots of cool things like run free as fast as i want to. i could dig up peoples gardens and eat their food in the garden. life as a rabbit would be so much fun!!

If I was to die tomorrow and come back as something the next day, it would be a tiger, living in a protected sanctuary in Colorado. I would want to be a tiger because the tiger is one of the most powerful big cat out there and has very distinctive and beautiful stripes. I would lounge about with my tiger buddies and swim in a pool in my sanctuary. I would prefer to be a white tiger instead of a bengal tiger, because in my perspective a white tiger is the coolest animal out there! Being a tiger, I would have to eat raw meat, but I'm a tiger so I don't think I could tell the difference. Tiger's can also pounce and run AND crush things in seconds with there powerful jaws. the only thing I would be scared about is the fact that a white tiger is so rare that pouchars could be roaming anywhere just to get my striped pelt!!!There is also the fact that I could be abused somewhere in my lifespan. But being a tiger would be still be awesome because lions are king of the safari while tigers are king of the Jungle!!!!!ROAR!!!

I would pretty much just stick with who I am. On the off chance that that won't work I guess I'd come back as a Japaneese human. I hear there are lots of cool electronic gizmos to play around with in that country. My uncle said every car or truck he was in had a built in GPS. It's good to post on this blog again.

If I could come back as anybody, of course, I would like to be a girl. It would be cool to be somebody like Miley Cyrus. I would love to be reincarnated into soebody famous, THAT WOULD BE SO COOL! If I could be an animal, there are 3 that I would like to be reincarnated into. First off, I would love to be reincarnated into a mustang. They look so majestic. When they run, with there mane and tail flowing out behind them, they look like they could just leap off the ground and join the birds in the sky. Secondly, I would like to be a bird. I've always wanted to fly. If I could be any bird, I would love to be our nation's symbol, the Bald Eagle. Then finally, I would love to be a dolphin. They are so beautiful and one of the most playful creatures of the sea. This is my blog, SEE 'YA!!!

If I came back as a something I would come back as a dragon. Dragons are cool because they are mythical and nobody knows if they exist. I could hide from everyone and be the biggest animal to ever exist. I could eat elephants and have my own kingdom and overrule kings. They would be my slaves and call me Ice Breath because my breath would be so hot it would freeze you. I would like to go to heaven because I would like to see God, Jesus, relatives, famous people and all of my friends. Come on 99 words. Never mind.

If I died today and came back tommorrow I would come back as a person that works at monuments all around the world such as Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone,Sea World,D.C.,or in France. I only chose this because when i grow up I want to see the world the whole world every inch of it and buy things to bring back to my family. The bad thing would be that i would never be able to see my family. Or I would want to come back as a cat I would be able to sleep all day and do whatever I pleased to do. The bad thing would be that I would get very very bored! I need to come back to be something that will give me action so really I would want to stay myself

If I could be reincarnated I would come back as a human in North America. I would be born in a St. Maries in Wisconsin. I would be American with white skin. I would like to be that because I would live in a different country and be able to have better foods and I will like the climate more. I would for once in my two lives I would be able to play with snow and throw snow at others. I could use things called Wii, Xbox, Playstation, andGameboy. I would teach about Buddhism if I remember it Bye!

Dear Miss Miller,
When I would die and be reborn I would want to be a winer dog cause they are so awsome. They are so small and long and somtimes can scare away bigger dogs than they are. I would probaly want to live on Easter Island and for all those people out there that don't know about Easter Island it is and island that was found on Easter and they found strange statues that no one knows how they got there end who made them it is probaly my favorite island ever founded on the whole earth. I would live there with my weiner dog friends and we would live in a souped up dog house that has an arcade and everything that needs to be in a good house. That is what I would be if I was reincarnated.

If I died today and could come back as anything it would probably be a bird. I would love to see the world from their view. It would be so fun. I could fly high or low, I can fly anywhere! I would also love to be a bird because you can understand other birds and it would be pretty cool to know what they talk about. I choose a bird because I’ve always wanted to fly freely and an airplane just isn’t the same. If I was a bird I would be able to fly freely. The only part I would not like was if someone shot me. That’s why I choose a bird.

If I were to die tomorrow and be reincarnated over night i would want to be reincarnated into a human being in the U.S but I would be an emergancy nurse, or a care nurse(like the ones who take care of you after you have your surgery). It would be a lot of fun. I know our religion dones't believe in reincarnation but the whole thing actually sounds pretty cool. I personally think that being reincarnated would be awesome but I know that when I die I will spend that time in HEAVEN!!!!!!!

If I died today and could come back tomorrow as anything, I would be a Pygmy Marmoset (the world’s smallest monkey). I would want to be a Pygmy Marmoset because they are SOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!... they’re fluffy, and they’re bouncy. I would want to be born again in the rainforest in South America and I think that would be a good habitat for a Pygmy Marmoset. I could sneak around in the rainforest and I could hide from almost any predator because I would be so small…I would be about 4 inches tall!!!! :-) Before becoming a monkey, I would like to spend time in Heaven! So, if I could be reincarnated I would want to be a PYGMY MARMOSET!!!

If I could be reincarnated I would become an indigo bunting or a oriole. I would like to become one of these birds because I always wonder what it would be like to fly. Plus these two birds migrate all across the continent and I like to travel. I would like to examine what kind of food would be my favorite too. between the two birds I would also pay attention to what i make my nests out of. After that I would be reincarnated into a human and tell the world my discoveries and why and what they need to stop polluting the air. Those are the reasons I would like to become those two birds.

If I was Reincarnated I would want to come back as a Human because i like to do my snowmobiling and other stuff. I would like to be born back to own cedar creek motersports. That would be awsome because I would own all those Snowmobiles and fourwheelers and jet-skis. I would have alot of money too. Even though are religion doesn't believe in Reincarnation It would still be coll to be reincarnated as someone or something else. So if I had to be reincarneted I would want to be reborn as the owner of cedar creek modersports, it would be awsome.

I would want to be a regular person because if I was a leader I would have to answer hard questions. I wouldn't want to be a celebrete because everyone would pay attention to me all the time, and I might go crazy. I wouldn't want to be relley smart because I would have to answer hard questions and I know I spelt relley wrong. And if I was rich everyone would ask me for money. If I was a doctor or a police officer or a fireman I would have to go to work all of the time. And that is why I want to be a regular person.

If I were reincarnated I would like to be a cook from Italy. I would like to be an Italian cook because I love Italy and Italian food. I would like this because I love to cook. One of my favorite foods to make would probably be Italian sausage and lasagna. I would also like to watch kids, that’s what I would like to do when I am not cooking at a restaurant. I would love to do this because I love kids and love to watch and play with them. I would love all of these things because they are all things that I love to do

I would want to come back as a barn cat because I would be around horses all day and be able to reach small places that people couldn't. I would also be soft and friendly so all the people at the farm would love me and give me lots of attention. I could also learn what it's like to sleep on a saddle pad. That would be fun. If I wanted to I could go on trail rides with other people and their horses and they wouldn't think I'm stalking them. I wonder what it's like to climb a tree. That would be fun! I should make myself a home in the hay and have sleepovers with neighboring barn cats. Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Maybe I could make friends with Copper and Chance! Purrrrrrrrrr! Meow! Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Meow! Purrrrrrrrrrrrr! Meow! Purrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Meow! Purrrrrrrrrrr! Meow! What I have to think like a cat! Duh! oh right- hissssssss!

If I was reincarnated I would like to be a parigren falcon In England. I like Falcons And I might as well pick the fastest of them all. I always wondered what it be like to fly at my own will. and since I am the fastest one I will hopefully be able to dodge bullets. And it will be easy to catch my own food. And I can see the ground from high up with my enhanced vision.And I can listen to the sweet akscent they have. And I can get nkowlegde at the fancy colleges.

If I had to be reincarnated tomorrow I would pick to come back as a rose. The reason I would like to come back as a rose is because it is my middle name and I would like to keep it going. I also really like the flower because it is very beautiful. I think it would be cool to come back as a rose to see how it feels to be a flower and how it is to live outdoors. Then I can see how all the other things around me act. This is why I would want to come back as a rose.

If I was going to be reincarnated tomorrow I would want to be reborn in Florida. I would want to be a human and would want to live near a beach so I could go swimming in the ocean whenever I want. I think it would be cool to live in Florida and not have to deal with the cold weather anymore. Or I would like to be reborn in a warm country. I think that it would be cool to be reborn and live somewhere else and see how they live and how it is different from how we live in the U.S.A.

I was going to be reincarnated tomorrow I would want to come back as a lemur from Madagascar. I would want to be a lemur because they look really cool and can jump like twenty feet from the top of a tree to another. I would also like the warm temperature and the beach. I could find an awesome home and live their for my life and eat mangos. If I still had the same mind and remembered everything in it. I could completely out smart predators and live wonderfully. I would be a hyper lemur and have a great place. I think God is great that he created such a marvelous animal and put them in a great habitat! GO LEMURS!!!!!!!!!

If i belived in reincarnation (which i do not) i would come back as a swallow. I would choose to be a swallow because they can fly at pretty high velocitys, THAT would be really cool. I would chose to come back in Scotland. I would choose to come back Scotland because in Scotland there are alot of really cool castles and other cool buildings. And if i go to Scotland i might even get to see the Lokness monster (AKA) Nessi. That is what i would choose if i were to be reincarnated.

If I would die today I would turn into a dog becouse I could run fast I would like going for rides in a car going for walks playing outside with my frisby and or tennis ball I would like chewing bones ( Not that I do or like it know but if I were a dog I would like it. The thing I would hate about it is going to the vet, obiusly other dogs wouldn't like it either and another bad thing is theres no... this is hard for me to say no girlfriends or girls man that would stink. OK OK I Will stop talking about that right now. Anyway thats why I would want to, and, well not want to be a dog.

I would come back as a Russian WNBA player. I would make it into the world record book for speediest woman in Track/Basketball player ever in the world. It would be sooooooooooo awesome!!! I would be famous and make a lot of money and all of it would go to the poor people that don't have anything. If that wouldn't happen than I would probably want to be a little black lab puppy. Than people would hold me and pet me a lot. I might not even have to walk anywhere because I would be held so much. That’s two things I would want to be if I was reincarnated.

If I was reincarnated I would like to come back as a eagle. I would come back as a eagle because I am afraid of heights but I think it would be cool to be so high up and be able to see everything. I would be up north and I could skim the water and it would cool me off on a hot day. I would also be an eagle because I could not get shot at because an eagle is on the endangered speacies list. And that is what I would want to be if I were to be reancarnation

I would come back as a Wildcat. The reason i would want to come back as a Wildcat would to be the mascot of F.I.L WILDCATS. Sure people would be scared of me but i would try hardest to tell them i was a nice, soft, kitty-cat and i would be the koolest animal ever. I would be just like the Milwaukee Bucks mascot, Bango! If you don't know what he does i'll be glad to tell you. Before every game he jumps on a trampoline and does funky dunk stuff. Like he jumpes on the tramp and does flippes and makes all these shots. That's what i would be recarnated as.

GO CATS

If I was reincarnated I would be a monkey. I would want to be a monkey because people wouldn't laugh at me or make fun of me cause monkeys don't talk. I would also want to be a monkey because they are cool and say oo-ah-ah. If I was reincarnated as a monkey I would live in the Amazon Rainforest. I would also want to be a monkey because I could eat lots of bananas and explore in the huge rainforest. If I was a monkey I would be so happy. That is why I would want to be reincarnated as a monkey.

If I ever were to be reincarnated (which I wouldn’t), I would so totally be reincarnated as a banana on Madagascar. Personally I would love being a banana on Madagascar because I would be yellow (awesome color), I would always be warm because they have a warmer climate (awesomely awesome), I can sway in the wind (very relaxing!!!), and I would always have banana friends. The only thing that I always would be worried about is the fact that either I would decompose sooner or later (boo hoo!!), or an animal like a monkey (Rachel!!!!) or an insect might eat me. (Ahhh!!) But I guess I would be reincarnated again any ways (but I would still miss being a banana).

If I were reincarnated I would like to come back as a white tailed deer. I would come back in America where I used to live in Hudson, Wisconsin because then I could explore the woods and still know where I am going. In the woods I would tell other deer about hunters and when hunting season is. Also I would tell them what to watch out for in the woods like hikers, bikers, and what hunters would do to you if they saw you. I would tell the other deer where to hide so they do not get spotted. Also I would tell them not to go on the road so they do not get hit by cars and hurt people. It would also just be fun to be a deer which is why I would like to be reincarnated intro one if I could.
