10 Things To Do When The Electricity Goes Out

It is very depressing when the electricity goes out. The people today have become so reliant on technology that runs on electricity that they have absolutely no idea what to do with themselves when this problem occurs.

1. Light a few candles and reminisce about life. The key aspect in a strong and loving household is without a doubt communication.

2. Play a board game with loved ones. Monopoly, Checkers even twister if your feeling loose and limber.

3. If its during the day, go outside and enjoy the sun. Toss a baseball around or maybe even hit the links (golf).

4. If your feeling fatigued, take a nap or possibly hit the hay for the night. You can never have too much sleep.

5. Get in your car and go to a movie/ go out for dinner with a soul mate, again which could lead to reminiscing about interesting topics eventually strengthening your relationship with one another.

6. Or, if your in the mood, you could exchange ghost stories. Might not be a good idea if you have young children around, this can cause them to stay up all night scared preventing you precious sleep.

7. If your feeling hungry, roasting smores over a candle could be a legit possibility. Or if you want to spice things up get some hot dogs or cheese filled smokies goin' over the candle.

8. If your in the adventurous mood you may consider going for a hike or long nature walk. You are now able to get exercise and enjoy the scenery all at once! (2 birds with one stone)

9. Maybe your falling behind in school it then might be a good idea to catch up on some homework. Math, English... whatever floats your boat.

10. Lastly, if you feeling dirty from hiking all day and enjoying yourself without any electricity, a nice cold shower should do the trick.

Novel Synthesis

Slumdog Millionaire and "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost have a similar connection. They are related because in the poem it describes how someone takes one path and eventually on that particular path you will branch off onto other paths, making every path effect another. But more specifically its about the choices you make and how they effect your lifestyle. If you decide to go down one path or make a certain decision in life, wouldn't you want to go back and try making another decision or going down the other path just to see if what would happen and prove that "that has made all the difference". Ram had two paths to choose from, both looked identical but for some reason he felt like choosing the one from the other "Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,"

In slumdog millionaire there are messages of both fate and personal choice. For Ram Mohammad Thomas making a decision is simply decided by the flip of coin. This coin is no ordinary coin it is double sided. Ram believes that "luck comes from within" and whatever choice you make, you have total control over it. It is such a coincidence that Ram is asked 12 questions which he knew because of his past experiences in life. He had no idea that he was going to be put in those situations throughout his life in order to answer those questions. This proves that it was an act of fate.
