It's great having a super computer that contains all data and knows everything there is to know about humans because it has answers to everything that is needed from a human. As it develops emotions and feelings, it's kind of sad to know that it wants to die because it holds too much troubles. As a machine, it's programmed to work, no matter what, whenever humans need it but with feelings, it makes progress toward being a living creature and all the troubles of the world are too much for her to bear. I wish I could be there to end her misery. Multivac is the protagonist because it is the main character and the conflicts is between it and itself/ it and human.

The metaphor
Summer leaves, as green as it could ever be, shone off the ugly tree trunk as it sits its roots daily on the ground. Autumn leaves came along the news of shorter days and turned itself to red or yellow as the ugly tree trunk harshly abandoned its once beloved frond. The cold Autumn wind crashed against the tree, diminished the life of what used to be beautiful and gave it once more a chance to be loved and missed as it dies away into eternal darkness.

Dear villagers:
I am a regular citizen living here along Main Street just like many of you. I have watched our town grow ever since I was an infant. As part of the founding family to this town, I believe everyone should appreciate what I try to do, because it is only to better this town of ours.
I am a regular citizen living here along Main Street just like many of you. I have watched our town grow ever since I was an infant. As part of the founding family to this town, I believe everyone should appreciate what I try to do, because it is only to better this town of ours.
Sure, you have known about the letters I have been writing to everyone pointing out your issues and problems. Some may think its evil, some may just ignored it. Some may be angry and some may be depressed. My intentions were only to help our society so that it can become a better place for our country, and for the world. However, no matter what your thoughts about my letters, my precious rose garden was a very special place to our town, to tourists and to me. I demand that you give me his/her name of whoever is responsible for the damage to my lovely rose or else everyone will have to pay the consequences. What is done is done. The best we can do for our town now is to find out who is responsible for the damage to my garden and have him/her fix their wrong-doings.
If my letters have offended any of you, please take your angers out on me. My roses are as innocent, not guilty for writing complains. I accept any punishments but please leave my rose garden alone. If you want an apology, I will give whatever is necessary to help ease your angers.

I had been living with my grandparents ever since the day I was born. All through the 6 years of my life that my grandparents had to put up with, they never complained once of their agonizing and exhausting job which was to raise me for my parents. Although their long lasting patience was quite honourable, it was put to an end by what I called "The green shoes event".
There he was, my grandfather, sitting on his personal, blue, comfy couch wearing his aged glasses reading a book the size of an over grown guinea pig. Nothing special but his usual daily routines. He wore his deformed pant and shirt that never seemed to agree with his over-sized belly, hanging a towel over his shoulder waiting for the everyday morning news on TV. As the news opend up with it's annoyingly boring music, I just so happened to wake up early. Carefully but uneven, I walked out of my own bedroom with my hands all over my face trying to keep myself awake while attempting to greet my grandfather at the same time. I sat on the closest, matching coloured, sofa next to my grandfather. Noticing the deserted TV remote control sitting on the counter, I decided to grab it; I randomly pressed against one of it's buttons as if giving a relaxing massage to it therefore changing the channel.
"Anything's better than the news." I said quietly. However, my grandfather somehow seemed offended by what I said and thoroughly made his arguments back with long speeches which I politely ignored. My grandfather's rage grew as he continued his speeches and finally he lost control of his temper. As fast as he could, he raised his foot so his hand could reach his shoe, he grabbed hold of his dark, green shoe and made a throwing position. I, at the same time, ran as far away as possible and circling around the dining table making myself a harder target and using chairs for shields. I looked up slowly, afraid of getting hit, and saw a big, flying shoe threw straight at me. "Bam!" The sound of the shoe hitting the wall as it missed my head. I ran faster and faster around the table as the last of his both shoes hit against the white, innocent wall. Being a grandparent, my grandfather was already tired after this unusual exercise and slowly walked back to his room with his remaining strength. As I always believed in, the young always wins, I had successfully dodged everyone of my grandfather's flying shoes and avoided all unnecessary injuries apart from the marks left by the attacks on the wall.
Resting up in his room, my grandfather eventually realized that he was being very mean and unreasonable and we all agreed to pretended that these minutes of wild attacks had never ever happened but to me they remained as my first memory.
