Reflection: Psalm of Life

I really enjoyed the poem "The Psalm of Life" I really could relate to the ending of the poem and really enjoyed it. I thought the message was a really good one. I can relate to the poems ending because I always am wanting to make an impact on people's life. I don't just want to have an impact on them only at that time but i want people to remember me and what I did. In the poems words "I don't want have my footprints washed away" Also I am going to live life to the fullest and that was also another message that was in the poem.

Edgar Allan Poe

....As he escaped the pendulum the was began tocreak like a old rusty door was closing. They began to move slow then fast slow then fast making it hard to predict where to go next. Turning in circles trying to figure out what do do next he saw the curtian open with a man standing behind the window. He mouthed to him, "just hold on for a little bit longer!" The walls where now moving at a slow pace towards the middle of the pit. The man only had about 1 foot left of space as the man from behind the window came rushing in to save him. just as soon as this happened the walls closed in tight and they both fell into the pit....

Crucible Reflection

At first when I started reading the Crucible I was really bored and did not want to finish reading at all. I was bored becasue during the first and second acts they mainly talked about how they thought Abbigail was the one who did it and she did not agree with them. Then Abbigail really started to annoy me because of the way she was acting. I didnt like the fact that she was putting everyone else's life at risk by blaming all the other people. I did not think that was right of her to do. When i found out that Betty was faking to be sick on purpose it thought that was a good idea on her part but found it shocking she would think to do that since she was so young. I felt bad for all the women who got put to death and they had nothing to do with what was happening but Abbigail was able to live.

Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin was one of the greatest and widely loved silent movie stars. He made one of the most popular and funniest flim of his time. He was best known for his character, the naive and lovable Little Tramp. Chapin came to America on two trips. On his second tour, he met Mack Sennett and was signed to Keystone Studios to act in films. Chaplin was known as one of the most demanding men in Hollywood. Regardless of the size of the part, he walked everyone through everyscene. He thought that even if the scene was good it was not just because of the star, but about everyone on the screen. If someone wasn't working the way they where suppose to he would have a new person play the part. He wanted everyone on stage to work together to make the best film possible. Through what Chaplin had achieved many of his works are still showed in films today.

I think that Chalie Chaplin had the right idea about what he was doing on stage was the right way to go about things. It wasn't always about the star but about everyone on the stage so that everyone contributes to the success of the film. I think he was doing the right thing becasue he treated everyone fairly. If someone wasn't doing their job the way they where suppose to they would be told and could get replaced. Everyone was held to the same standard. Chaplin used everyday life and fairness and brought it to the films and created success out of them.

Puritain Poetry

This poem was by Anne Bradstreet. I thought this was a really good poem because it showed what she thought of God and how he was her savior. She put all her trust in him and gave him all the glory for everything. The religious lesson in this poem is that God is not like anyother person. Poem also states that he will never go back on his word and be there in any difficulty we face. We need to give the credit to go for everything we acomplish and give the glory to him because without him we would not be able to succeed.
