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.

Research Paper

One thing that I learned about doing my research paper is about how much poverty can effect a childs mental health. This was very saddning to me becasue at a young age you are dependent on your parents and so if they can not provide for you then it is going to be very hard to get out of your circumstances. I was also heart broken for these kids because they are not given opportunites to have success and be free and enjoy life like many other kids.Another thing that i learned was that poverty in other countries directly affects us through terrisom. This fact was very scary to me becuase many peoople in a America do not think about this. The people of america tend to only think about themselves and not other people in the other countries who need help. Without some of our help they may turn to terriorsim and that will back fire on us as a country.

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.
