1.I don't agree with him because you can read lots of books and not win. But if you fight with a harmful object you have a higher chance of winning.

2.Since you need water to live its like you need education to live.

3.It feels really great when you reach the top of the mountain and you feel really proud that you finally made it.

1)  I agree because ultimately books shall be won with books not bombs.

2) Education is like water because without water people would die of thirst, without water we would die from not know better and kill each other.

3) Life is like a mountain because your goal is like the top of the mountain. There will be obstacles that will keep you from getting there, but keep going.

1- i believe it should be won with education. if you give the people education, they will more likely be your friend and will respect you more. if you just go and bomb them, they will think of you as a enemy.
2- education is like water, because you absolutely need it. you can't survive with out water, and you can't survive with out education, i mean you can, but your life would be as great.
3- life is like a mountain because let's say your goals are like the very top of the mountain. you will try to climb it and try to reach those goals. but sometimes you might get stuck in a problem, or reach a dead end and have to turn back. but once you reach your goals, it's like you have climbed the mountain to the very top. basically, there are obstacles in life, but just learn to go around and keep going.

1) I agree because if kids there have an education then they will probably have more choices in life. Then they will know we care about them, and we won't have war.

2) Education is like water because anything a person does they need education, and everything needs water to survive in life.

3) When climbing a mountain every time you get higher you accomplish something, and in life every time you make an accomplishment it's like going a few steps higher on  the mountain of life.

1) I agree, because if people are educated they would learn in school that violence is bad, that it can hurt others.


2) eduction is like a waterfall it is hard sometimes and sometimes it can be the easiest thing you have ever done.




3) Life is climbing a mountain like you have to face good things in life and bad things in life. You have to face big obstacles in life.

1)I don't agree with what Greg said because building a school  will not just  stop terrorism  like that.
2) A good education  will make life flow alot easier it will flow like water. also a good education is like a refreshing drink of water. It feels good to know that you would have an education  just like it's good to know that you have running water.
3)Life is alot like climbing a mountain you never know what's going to happen or what problems there are until there happening . there are many obstacles in life  just like there are many things to overcome on a mountian

1no because bombs are stronger than books
2it can go right through your fingers and if you don't study an education is going to slip through your fingers.
3beacause you go through some hard things in life and its hard to climb a mountain because of certain things.

1. I think education is won with books and not bombs because if you don't grow up to be a terrorist you can have a great life ahead of you instead of a bad life .
2. Education is like water because you couldn't survive without water and education seems like something really important just like water is.
3. Life is like climbing a mountain because there are going to be great things in life and bad things in life that are ahead of you, just like a mountain.

1. I agree that the war will be won by books because if you are educated people may look at you as more then they had been before If you learn about other cultures and more about there people you wouldn't go making it worse by bombing people's houses.

2. Education is like water because you need it to survive life if you didn't have water you would die because you would have died of thirst. You would die without education to because you would do something that you didn't know was wrong because no one ever taught you any better.

3. Life is like a mountain because in life there is a goal you want to reach on a mountain there is a top every mistake  accomplishment you learn from that and you get higher in the mountain.

1. Books is the key to a education and bombs is the key to war and killing so if we would take our time and educations then killing wouldn't even be in process. So education is the key to killing terrorism. 2. Education is like water because it is important for everything in your life like being able to get any job that  you deserve and money to take care of your family. 3. Life is like climbing a mountain because it's hard and life is hard.

(1)He means that if we stop fighting and end in peace we can find education because education is more important than fighting.

(2)Greg means that education is water because if you don't have water you will not live and education is the same thing.

(3)Greg means that climbing a mountain is like life because every step you take is something that you do good in life.

1. If you use books to try to win against terror you could learn about a plan in a book, but if you just make war you might make it worse.

2. Education is like water because you will always need it and need it for everything. If you didn't have water you will dehydrate and die, and if you didn't have education you might not  know something is dangerous and die because of that.

3. Life is like climbing a mountain because if you do good things in your life and are kind and nice it is like climbing higher on a mountain.

1) yes I agree that the war on terror can be won through books not bombs, because it we teach these children they will know other things besides fighting. They will learn that they can do many things with their lives.
2)We need both to survive.
3)because every time you learn something you are taking one step higher.

1. I agree with the Greg's statement because if children learn they will grow up educated and be successful in life.
2. Education is like water because you need education to fill your brain and you need water to fill your thirst.
3. Life is like climbing a mountain because the more you learn the more you get higher.
