Having My Say

Many people have a different opion about different race couples. There are some people taht think that you should be with your own race and there are others who think that race should not matter. I am one of those people who think that race should not matter between a couple. If the person you like is black or white then it should make no different. We were both created by God. Many people say that cultures are different between different races which is sometimes but you can always be willing to blend those cultures and become more diverse. I think that if someone likes someone of the different race there should be no judgemet from anyone. The couple obviously drew a connection between the two of them. So there should be no reason to break off a relationship just because someone tells you that you can't date someone from the oppisite race.

Whitman Connection

This poem can connect to me in may ways. Every day I live a new day and everyting that happens become a part of me. Lots of differnt memories are engraved in my  head. From the good to bad memories they all make me who I am today. When I live from day to day, there are a lot of things I can and can not control and all those things that happen, I learn from. Day to day, month to month, and year to year new things in my life occur. Some of those things I can not control but from them i grow as a person.

Nature Poem Emily D

The grass so little has to do, --

A sphere of simple green,

With only butterflies to brood,

And bees to entertain,

And stir all day to pretty tunes

The breezes fetch along,

And hold the sunshine in its lap

And bow to everything;

And thread the dews all night, like pearls,

And make itself so fine, --

A duchess were too common

For such a noticing.

And even when it dies, to pass

In odors so divine,

As lowly spices gone to sleep,

Or amulets of pine.

And then to dwell in sovereign barns,

And dream the days away, --

The grass so little has to do,

I wish I were the hay!

I think that this poem is trying to say that something so simple can have a huge purpose and meaning in life. Something that seems so simple in life to us may have a even larger purpose in life to someone else. Grass may seem so little to us but to others it is much larger. It is much larger to the bees, animals, and the entire world!!

Connection To Nature

I have never really had a complete connection with nature but nature does have a calming effect on me. When ever i am around nature and the outdoors I tend to find myself to be more calm. Every summer i go to minnesota and we stay in a cabin about 20 yards away from the lake. I find myself a lot of times just sitting outside of the cabin and staring out at the lake and all the trees around it. It seems like all my worries and problems just go away. Also me and my cousin sometimes go on night rides on the lake and we just sit on the boat in the middle of the lake. I find this really relaxing because the weather is always beautiful, and you can hear all the little noises and can see the beautiful stars! Also on this vacation i do a lot of fishing and fishing also makes me relax because i don't worry about anything else when im on the waterand catching fish with my grandpa.

Team Edgar

I choose team Edgar. I choose this team becasue I enjoyed his stories more than nathaniel hawthornes stories. Edgar Allen Poe always kept me thinking in his stories. I was always wondering what was going to happen next. Also I enjoyed his writtings because the endings to many of his stories made you look back at the whole picture of the book, and not just the main details. I also choose team Edgar because I think that there was a deeper meaning in all of his books.

Affirmations of Life

Something good that is happening today is racism is continuing to decrease. In society African Americans are becoming more excepted and are not pointed out for everything they do. They are also gaining more opportunies that they did not have years ago. This is a good thing because our country is coming closer together. This also makes our country stronger and have less conflicts within the United States. This also creates equality amongst the people. Every day and every year racism continues to decrease and this will only get better in the future.
