I carry the fire on a daily bases by not letting the mean people get in the way of me libing. I let the haters hate and I move forward, like they are not even here. I carry the fire by treating everyone with kindness and complimenting them. I carry the fire by helping people out, I help with personal stuff going on and if they need any homework done I will help them get it done. I will also help them if they run into some mean and terrible people I will get them off of their back. I carry the fire by being a good student and respecting the teachers I have even if they irritate me sometimes. I carry the fire by talking to my teachers and telling them what is going on and we figure things out. I carry the by help out around my house for my parents. I help my parents with whatever they need or want to get done a certain day and I try to make it fun and not so boring. Carrying the fire means to me that you will not let anything or anybody in your way of anything you want to do. You do what you want and you get the things done that you gotta get done and you push through all the negativity. Carrying the fire means to get all of your homework done and making sure you talk to your teachers so they know you got your homework done so they don’t count it missing or a zero. Carrying the fire means to me that you will love and care about your friends, family and relationships. If you have good relationships your life will so much better. Sometimes you will get into arguments but you will get over them and you will move on from that argument. If you don’t have a good relationship then your life is probably not going to go as you planned it to go. If you have a good relationship with your parents life will go a lot easier because they have helped you with a lot of things and they continue to do so. They will always help you until they pass and that is where you become thankful because without them you probably would be in a dark place and you would probably not be able to get out,

Walle caries the fire by being a good person through out the whole movie. Walle is a good person by helping out his girl friend that went ot earth to help the people in space get back to earth so they can get earth to looking pretty again. Walle I think is an amazing character and I think he does a good job carrying the fire. He carries the fire by being a dad at the beginning of the movie with the cockroach. He carries the fire by keeping Eve safe when she had the plant and making sure the plant is safe. At one point in the movie they almost loose the plant and Walle but Eve was caring the fire as well and went out into space and got him along with the plant. Walle carries the fire by getting the fat people off of their screens to pay attention to the world and other people. He shows them that you can love each other and not be on a screen all the time. You can love other people and not have to worry about what other people think or do.

1. I believe that carrying the fire is one of the more important things in life, something that many people usually look past. It could be used to help maintain or fix many things throughout life, things that affect everyday we live. I personally carry the fire every day, or try to, by just being me. To some people, that could be a slap in the face as they might see that as not trying or living life. But to me it means a lot more than those few words could ever mean. Being different is enough to carry the fire, as it adds a human touch to life. Without a different variety of people we’d probably all be doing the same thing in a lifeless manor. We’re all different and we all have our own goals, and that sets us apart from others. What we do to stride towards those goals is how we carry the fire. Many days within my life, I wake up feeling belittled or mediocre. It adds a struggle to every day as it makes me want to do nothing. But instead of doing nothing, I wake up and get through the day, and become stronger with every day that goes by. Finding a will or reason to live every day and continue on is one of the strongest things anybody could ever do. I personally have my own dreams and wishes, such as anybody else does. But what always powers me through any day is my family. My family has and always will be the most important thing in my life. I was raised to love them and give them everything I have, because at the end of every day, they’d do the same for me. I wish I could give more than humanly possible to them, to show my love and loyalty if I could. It’s a very harsh and cruel world, but my parents and family have always stood by my side, willing to help me in any way they can. I carry the fire by living through every day in hopes to one day have a family of my own to look up to and follow me the same way as I do mine.

2. I believe that wall-e carries the fire in a way similar to me. He works and gets through every day just as I do, but he adds a touch of humanity and life to it. He’s not just another soulless being wandering throughout the world. He strides on in hopes to one day live a life he dreams of/is programmed to work toward. Obviously he falls in love with Eve and does what he can to build a life with her/help her proceed through life. Which in a way is what my family does for me. He takes her “dreams”/programming and helps progress them so that one day they’ll be fulfilled. Throughout the movie he helps her also become more humanized as she comes to feel the same way about him as he does her. By no means is he changing the world, he’s only changing one person at a time. This becomes a domino effect as he helps everybody aboard the ship while helping Eve pursue her goals.

1: The way I carry the fire is to simply keep going in life, the past is the past; nothing can change it. If a problem comes up or rears its ugly head. I try to deal with it now rather than let it get out of hand in the wake of someone else. Once it's gone and I learned from it, I move on in life and continue the way my life has been presented to me. I learned to be responsible, level headed, calm, and focus on the subject matter at hand. I shall keep carrying the fire with my life till the end of my days. If I let these problems get out of hand...The fire would die out and we won't have anything to go off on for the future of our world. Simply put, live on in life to the fullest!

"Sometimes, even to live is an act of Courage."

"We suffer not from the events in our lives, but from our judgment about them!"

2: The way WALL-E carry the fire in the film, in the begining he is the only still operational robot still trying to clean the planet of all the junk and waste humanity has left. It what he did for who knows how many years until EVE arrived and he fell in love with her. Once she sees the remaining and growning plant she takes it and awaits for pick up. WALL-E follows her to the Axiom and sees how humanity has devolved into a lazy, fat, machine dependant society. As the film goes on, the little robot showed what he knows towards others and opened they're minds and start to carry the fire themselves, guarding the plant and going back to earth to finally clean up the planet sized mess Humanity has done to their home.

The reason why I carry the fire is that I have to and I want to. The reason why I choose to carry the fire is that I have two younger siblings that look up to me and I want to show them how to carry the fire. I also think the reason why is because it keeps the world together, because if we didn’t have anyone carrying the fire then there would be chaos. There would be people doing terrible things. But because we have people carrying the fire we have people showing other people how to. But then again, people carry the fire in many different ways. Ways that I carry the fire is by helping my younger siblings with stuff. My little sister struggles with math at school and I help her with it. My little brother might struggle to try to get something that he needs, I will help him out and get it for him. I also help out my big brother, if he is struggling with something I will try to help him out the best I can, either by giving him a hand or giving some of my advice. The reason why I do these things is that I want to, they would also do the same thing for me when I need it most. If someone asks for my help I will try my best to help them. The reason why I bother to help people is that it makes me a better and stronger person. I also just like helping people.


How does Wall-e carry the fire? Well at the start of the film he carries the fire by doing his job by cleaning up all of the trash and being a dad towards a bug. Then near the middle of the film, he is taking care of Eve when she shuts down while falling in love with her. He makes sure that she is safe. Then when they are on the ship he is helping Eve out by getting the plant back to the captain. While he helping Eve he is also helping other people as well.

I carry the fire by making sure everyone is having a good day and make sure that they aren’t sad. I carry the fire because it can make me new friends and shows that people can trust you if they need someone to talk to. But I go by one thing and that is “treat people how you want you to be treated” and if you are nice and carry the fire towards them, they can be nice and carry the fire and help you out as well. I think it is a good thing to carry the fire because if I didn’t then I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Carrying the fire is something that everyone should do because it helps the world come together as one and we could be at peace. If no one carried the fire everyone on Earth would hate each other and that could start wars. People should bother to carry the fire because they can make someone's day and they could also change someone's life around. Carrying the fire is another way to spread positivity in the world or give advice. It is always a good time to spread positivity and happiness, so why not start carrying the fire.

Wall-e carries the fire by making it through a day at a time and not letting the bad times get to him. He let a cockroach live with him and he took care of it because he probably knew there was nothing else out there. When Eve came to Earth he gave her the plant that he had and when she shut down he took great care of her and by that he was spreading the fire to her and she started carrying the fire.

How do we carry the fire daily? Well, we do it every day because when we wake up we start doing it. It's really hard not to carry the fire because someone looks up to you and you are showing them how to do something or even how to carry the fire. Everything we do someone is looking up to you. Everyone at some point in time has said “I think someone is looking at me” well in my eyes it's true no matter what or where you are. The reason I think this is because someone wants to be like you or something like you. It’s really hard not to show someone a new skill or really powerful knowledge. One day you can pass down that fire to your kids or someone that you impacted their life. We carry it every day through school and how we acted in school or even our behavior. Even the teachers here carry the fire to impact one kid, maybe even more than one kid. They also carry it by teaching every day to a classroom full of kids to teach them something new or even something really important. They do this because they want to not because they need to. Everyone can see that someone is carrying the fire even if that person doesn't think that they are because they don’t believe in themself to see they are impacting someone else's life. Why bother carrying the fire? Everyone should care about carrying the fire because it makes someone else’s life better than it was. You can make someone else’s day by just saying hi to them or even smiling at them. Well right now everyone is wearing a mask so it is really hard to tell if someone is smiling at you. Besides, that point carrying the fire is really important to a lot of people. It’s important to parents a lot because they see how far you are and they see themself inside their kid. They like this because they taught you how to be nice and have respect for others. Their kids would not have made it far in life without someone showing them the ropes of life. Your parents are happy that you can show someone else something new or even make their day. Carrying the fire should mean everything to everyone because someone created the person you are today. The fire will always be with you. Everything you do will follow and support you no matter what because it is bound to you.

Wall-E carries the fire, why might you ask? Well, it is kinda easy to understand because he is the last of his kind. He will do everything or anything to find someone to care about him. He carries the fire to Eve because Wall-E showed Eve new things like the plant in the boot. He shows how he cares for her. He does everything to protect Eve from the rain or even the storms. He climbs on the ship to go get Eve. He is carrying the fire to show that he will protect the people that he cares about. He shows the captain of the ship dirt from his hand. Wall-E will do anything for anyone. When the plant gets thrown down the trash shoot he is the one who saves it. Down in the garbage hole, he is in really bad condition. He hands the plant to Eve and she throws it. Wall-E does not like that so he goes and grabs it and tells Eve to get it to the place it needs to be. Wall-E cares about other people than himself. It shows carrying the fire because he wants other people to be happy so he can be happy.

I carry the fire on a daily basis by creating rules for myself. What I mean by this is that if someone says something rude or selfish to me i could say something rude back or i could show them that their opinion is irrelevant by ignoring their rude comment. I made the rule “ No Grudges” awhile ago and have kept it. This rule I have made is to not have any real negative emotions towards people other than the few who consistently be trying to take me down. Why do I do this? I do this because having hate towards someone who is rude is pointless because why let that space in your head be used for negative emotion towards someone who is not a person in your future? As we have spoke about earlier we do not know who other people are outside of the place we are currently in. my friends see me as a completely different person than any of yall do. This is the reason i am nice to the people i am around because who knows if they come to school with a smile and are depressed when they are at home. Everyone you see and “know” has their book ripped in half and you have the second half , not the full story.Carrying the fire is doing the right thing and continuing on. I do the right thing by not starting things and I continue on with my life if someone tries to bring me down. I carry the fire also by doing what's best for my future, so far out us 3 siblings i am the most successful and i am the middle one.
Wall-e carries the fire by continuing on after things started changing, he did not have to leave his home to go into space, but he did. Wall-e also did not have to show Eve the plant and could have kept it hidden or not even taken it at all. He risked his own life to save the others causing him to become a hero too. He did not do it for money or power, he did it for his love for Eve and the rest of ship people. He carried the fire also when he proved to everyone that he was not bad like the autopilot and the rest said Wall-e and Eve were rogue.

how do I carry the fire on a daily basis? I carry the fire by being the best me. I carry the fire where ever I go or to where ever I am. Every day I carry the fire while I'm at work. when I'm working I am carrying the fire by helping customers by checking them out or by helping find an item. sometimes I see older people come in having bad days and I try and make them feel happy because I want them to have a good day and I want them to be able to carry the fire and to help others. I think it is important to carry the fire because it can change someone's day, week, or month. so I try to use it every day to make sure someone is being the better them. I know some days are hard and I try to carry the fire by pushing them to what they are capable of doing. I carry the fire by making some be the better them. I carry the fire making someone's day better. I should use the fire to be a better me. because if I can't be a better me then how can I make someone a better them. I have learned that I like to put other people in front of me which is good in a way but I need to stop and see if I can do anything for myself so I can carry the fire better. I should take care of myself first because if I always help someone before me I might put myself in a tight spot. And I think we should bother about carrying the fire because it helps us to move forward and to be better used as a group or as a whole. because if we do stuff together we can get stuff done better.

Wall-E carried the fire in his own ways. he carried the fire by trying to clean up the earth. he was able to carry the fire by helping eve with the plant. I think how Wall-E took care of eve while she went into that safe mode when she first got the plant was carrying the fire because he didn't have to take care of, he could have just left her there but he cared for her and stayed with her when she was stuck like that. I think eve noticed how much he cared for her when she was watching back the tape of her when she was in a secure mode. And when Wall-E got damaged is when she knew she had to take of him to save him. and it was her turn to carry the fire to take care of him. At the end of the movie, I thought that they will both be carrying the fire together to help rebuild the earth.

How do i carry the fire day to day….. Thats hard to say because i used to.. But how can you carry the fire when alls you do is get knocked down. When i carry the fire i try to help people i like alway having peoples backs making them feel that they can talk to me about any problem the have but the older you get the harder it gets people aren't as willing to open up to many many problems its like trying to do a brain surgery when your only a nurse. Nows its just going to work hoping to be successful putting in your hours so you can be on top i dont even want to carry the fire anymore i wanna do stuff for me the rich dont get rich by playing nice look at danny sand ford everyone oves him right well he wasnt always so nice but ill give it to him now he does give back a lot but anyway look how many people hes flush down the drain how he messed them up by giving them loans they cant afford and taking there cars homes and credit theres people out there that will alway knock you down its the survival of the fittest and i'm gonna win so to me carrying the fire is being nice to all and helping others ill be the first one to tell you that im over that crap if your not first your last How does wally carry the fire. He is one of the last robots on earth trying to clean it up he did his job day to day he took care of things around him like feeding the bug he went to space to find love and even when he go there he still was doing good things the wheel was trying to throw away what could of been one of the last plants to exist but wally help get that plant to the right place with out wally the humans would never get to go back to earth he wants the chance to have someone there for him so he works hard to keep everything going in my eyes hes what you call a blue collar boy works more then 40 hour weeks and still puts in the effort to try to make others happy cant want anything more than that meier

I wasn’t expecting that I would be carrying the fire all along in my entire life. What I mean by that is that I’ve never heard about carrying the fire until watching WALL-E again, understanding more about it, and Mr. Christensen telling the philosophy and meaning of it, mostly carrying the fire part. Carrying the fire means all sorts of good things you do in your life. Things like doing what you do everyday, what you want to be for the future, and how you are towards people. I’m all those three and I do this like almost everyday, but mostly when I’m at school. What I do for carrying the fire is show compassion and kindness towards people, my friends, and family. People think of me like that and they are right. I am compassionate and kind towards others. People don’t treat me different, they aren’t mean and cruel to me and others and they know how to carry the fire also and I bet more and more people will do so if they might watch WALL-E. I also carry the fire by being responsible, smart, and productive. I do this so I can get good grades, prove myself that I got there, and to pursue my goals in the future when I’m done and high school and ready to go. After watching WALL-E I feel like I should do more of carrying the fire in the future, not only for those three, but for others too. The reason why I bothered was because it makes my life go fast and great and it also does for people, my friends, and my family. I began carrying the fire when I was about 7 or 9 years old. I almost stopped carrying the fire during adolescence years, but I came back and started carrying it even more because there were people that helped deal with my problems and how to get through and I bet they’ve carried the fire too and that also makes me want to carry the fire also. Now that I’m an adult and since I re-watched WALL-E again and learned about carrying the fire I think I might carry it even more and more.

In the movie WALL-E I sometimes act like that and sometimes I don’t when it comes to interacting with people and being at new places. When WALL-E first starts, all he does is work, but sometimes he entertains himself, and tries to have fun, but can’t because he’s programmed to work. I connect with him to that because I’m sometimes always like that and I don’t always like working all the time. We also get more character development on WALL-E and I’m fifty percent like that. Sometimes I like to be alone and sometimes I don’t and whenever I watch a romance/drama it makes me want to be with someone. When Eve arrives on earth it makes WALL-E feel human. After Eve heads to WALL-E’s place to avoid the storm, they get to know each. When knowing each other, Eve lights a lighter and it means that she has carried the fire all along and now it’s WALL-E’s turn to carry the fire. I knew for the very moment when I first watched it back then WALL-E would be the hero.

how do I carry the fire well for me that getting up for school and making sure that I pass all my classes and graduating high school. and move on to do the better thing in my life like looking for a better job and making sure that I will do a great job at it and I hope that would be the cause then I will know that I did what I sate out to do and
Walle caries the fire by being a good person throughout the whole movie. Walle is a good person by helping out his girlfriend that went to earth to help the people in space to make it back to earth so they can get earth to looking pretty again. Wall-E I think is a cool character and I think he does a good job carrying the fire. He carries the fire by being a dad at the beginning of the movie with the cockroach but away he like a kid too. He carries the fire by keeping Eve safe when she had the plant and making sure the plant is safe but eve is like the mother at the ending of the book. At one point in the movie, they almost loose the plant and Wall-E but Eve was caring the fire as well and went out into space and got him along with the plant. Walle carries the fire by getting the fat people off of their screens to pay attention to the world and other people. He shows them that you can love each other and not be on a screen all the time. You can love other people and not have to worry about what other people think or do.

1. Well, I carry the fire by strategizing with my teammates on how things have to get done, that and multiple medic and ammo bags, and yes *puts on the Richard Returns mask and reappears wearing Jacket’s clothing shown in payday 2* I’m talking about payday 2, the game where whatever difficulty you chose you’re still going to get curb stomped by a Cloaker on a very hard difficulty mission, the game where you can go it alone, or say “screw it” and bring 3 other friends, but enough of the small talk, let’s talk about how good strategizing is to defeat the Russian mafia, now if you will, *tape recorder starts playing* “Please, pay attention”. I’m going to put the mission “Hotline Miami” into play from the game and this heist has 2 days, these are important, you and your crew have to clear a place full of the Russian mafia, including a gas station that’s also owned by the mafia, the gas station is unimportant but there is also a pre-planning phase that will help you out where you choose what certain items go where and these items will cost you favors that you have to use wisely or you’re essentially screwed. Onto the mission, where you also have a rare spawn also known as the meth lab (I do not condone the use of drugs but if it’s payday logic, 1, you can’t smoke meth and 2, you also can’t snort cocaine, sorry Jimmy, you have to wait until henry gets built in order to smoke crack) where you make bank by following 3 simple steps, it’s on the wall dumb-dumb, it’s right there *cut to the meth lab on fire* you really lost our chance for more cash to spend in the future, you know what, follow me, scan this bar code and let’s get out of here we’re on the final day, the strategy here is to put medic bags at the top of the stairs and book it to the top floor, let’s hope you brought a shotgun because I brought the OVE9000 saw and It’s all mostly going to be close quarters combat with some range involved, and if we rush, we get to earn a lot of cash by collecting cocaine, don’t bag it up there’s going to be a fire storm raining down on us, if we bag it up, There’s gonna be hell to pay from me, and we also need to know where the sprinkler systems are to put out the fire and reset the drill, don’t ask anymore questions. The safe is open, blast him, ask questions and I’ll have you do this all over again on overkill difficulty now we wait for the escape and throw all of the coke and spare money bags into the chopper. *taking off the Richard Returns mask and counts our cash* you did good, you now have a large sum of cash in your offshore account and your spending cash, use it wisely. And that has been a quick summary of the Hotline Miami heist and of some of the strategy of what players have to do to complete these types of heists and of the tedious stuff we have to do to keep our butt and our comrade’s butts, now *extends the Hoxton mask* why don’t you join us.

2. How Wall-e caries the fire is throughout the entire clean up process to make these magnificent structures that he, himself has made with no other help from another unit because of social isolation that and there’s a cute and tiny cockroach he takes care of because he’s emulating human feelings and could never speak a clear sentence mostly because he speaks only single words at a certain given time mostly because he’s been isolated when he first started to emulate human emotions and led him to only make sounds to express certain emotions like surprise, happiness, scared, and my favorite that I mostly just do when I’m on fry station at work, just straight up worry about what will happen next like “what is happening to Eve, is she being killed, I HAVE TO SAVE HER” what I imagine that’s going through his head is what I just typed out, resulting in the current end on how he was a robotic zombie and then got Eve’s spark of hope resulting in what I call NECROMANCY :D

Everyone has fire in them we use them in today's life and anyone has the power and will to carry the fire. Your parents carried the fire for you and their parents carried the fire for them. It is also teachers that carry the fire and pass it on to you as you progress. It is like a guide that helps you see through the dark and the unknown. When you see the fire become brighter and brighter it means that you have become more knowledgeable. Sometimes the fire can go out but you can always light it back up. You just got to know how you can overcome the obstacles. And someday I will use the fire that was passed to me then pass it on to my future children. Then they will use it to carry with them to the beyond.



WALL-E was sadly the last of its kind. He was programmed to clean up the earth and look after the earth. From all the time that he was alone, he started to build his own program. He learned a lot and did a lot when he was alone. He had no one expect a roach as a friend. When he picked up the plant he had saved humanity. WALL-E did carry the fire for the robots and humans. If it was not for him to be his own self and just be a robot cleaning earth humanity would have never been saved. It took a lot from him physically and mentally. So WALL-E and Eve are truly the heroes of this and they really did carry the fire for not themself but for everyone.

I carry the fire by pushing onward every day, even when the days are rough. I continue to strive for a future and try to live life as best as I can. Carrying the fire for yourself is to live life as best as you can, push through hardships, and make the most out of everything. I bother to carry the fire because I find it very important for me personally. I want to live the best life I possibly can, and not have to struggle more than I should. I want to be able to push through hardships and carry on better than before. I believe everyone carries the fire in their own way, and it’s important for every one of them. Carrying the fire could also mean helping the world out as a whole, whether that be helping with little local things, or doing something big for the entire world. To yourself, it could also just be being a better person to bring down the negativity in the world, to help others out when they need it. Overall carrying the fire is not only important to someone personally, but also to the people around them.

WALL-E carried the fire in the movie by cleaning the Earth and finding the plant. Along with that, he went out of his way to protect the plant at all costs to benefit everyone else. He did something that helped humanity settle back on Earth, even risking himself for it at some points. He even helped others out by helping them find some freedom, being kind, he showed a lot of personality. So he carried the fire not only by keeping the plant safe and helping people get back to Earth but also by helping others individually.

I think everyone carries the fire just how to use the fire. I believe that there are two kinds of fire love and hat. The people have love fire they help other people. The people have hat fire they hat other people. We have to note that kind of fire we carry the fire good or bad. I hope you have a good fire in your body that can help other people.


The Wall-E was the last kind of robot on earth. The Wall-E was programmed to clean up the earth and look after the earth. All of the Wall-E kind die and the one Wall-E of them build his own program like a human. The Wall-E was carrying the fire because he was saving plants and saving humanity.

I don't really think I carry the fire at all. I'm lazy and the only thing I'm good at is hurting people. everyone in my life I have hurt once at least. some it happens to over and over. others it's just one time. I don't try to hurt people. it just happens. not with just dating but my friends and family. I have hurt them in ways I don't feel ok talking about.

wall-e carried the fire by now giving up and doing what he knew was best. he did what was right even if he was going to die.

In soccer, I really carry the fire because when I play, I play as a team player, not a selfish player. I have no intentions of being a selfish player because not a lot of coaches want to see that and the way that I play will get me somewhere hopefully. In WALL-E the way he carried the fire was being the only one to pretty much survive on the planet he was on and he would see that when Eva is in need of help he would help her and save her. He would do anything to save her because that was his only friend that he pretty much met. Even tho WALL-E is a robot he still is and will be the best robot on the planet and cares for the earth and other people on the planet.
