I am offering this poem first impression

im honestly impressed with his poetry. He starts off the poem by saying I'm offering this poem for you and after each stanza he says "I love you". I think what he's trying to tell us is that we should keep this poem to ourselves no matter what we'll always have this poem. He will look out for us by continuing to write poetry. Honestly it's a short poem which is a pretty good one.

tone-the tone of this story is that he had a sign of hope Even when he was In prison. He taught himself how to read and also how to write which is showing his will to change into a better person. Mood- the mood of this story is depressing because it shows us that most people in prison have dreams when they first get in but after a while they just die now they're just a person with no soul or emotion Theme- I believe the theme of the story is that everyone deserves a second chance. If it wasn't for prison changing baca's life he would of never taught himself how to read or about poetry. I think this shows that no matter your past there's always room for change. Devices- some devices used in this story were similes and metaphors. One example is they used common sense like scholars. After reading Jessica's interpretation of the poem it kind of opened my eyes how it really depends on eye of the beholder. I thought it was about learning to never give up and having an...

If I were able to go back in time I'd want to see historic moments. I'd want to see the first skyscraper built. I'd want to see how ww1 and ww2 started. I'd also wanted to go back and see how much we've progressed forward. I'd want to see famous events like the landing on the moon. Stuff like that interests me. I'd probably be chilling and asking questions to hitler on why he did all those evil things. American history is lit.

Emerson's opinion on the presidential election would be interesting. He'd probably be shocked out of 318 million people these 2 were selected.Emerson would like us together to move forward as a country but to be unique and individuals. He would want us to unite for the presidential election then probably make us go back to being individuals. Emerson believes superior people is the key to having success in society. So if the only options is Donald trump or Hilary Clinton, he'd probably whisper under his breath how America's screwed. Trump is considered a brute because of all the things he says to the media without caring, which Emerson thinks is genius. On the other hand we have Hilary who is just known for her deleted emails and wanting to start war with Russia. Emerson would probably support trump due to him being confident in himself and not lying. Emerson would want this country to move forward not backwards by ...

We talked about how come we aren't allowed to vote at this age which brings up a good point. I honestly believe we should be allowed to vote because the youth or at least teenager should be allowed to say something and it mattering. This one presentation caught my attention when they brought up how school makes us miserable and you don't even learn anything. All you get is a bunch of assignments but the whole purpose of school is to learn which doesn't happen. Emerson helps us relate by giving us confidence in ourselves after reading self reliance. In the final presentation someone mentioned how we shouldn't think ourselves as good people but we should just be a good person. Like the saying goes actions speak louder than words. I truly believe that you shouldn't worry about others opinion on you just be true to yourself

That a group chose quotes that each of them like or related to. They chose nothing can bring you peace but yourself because they want you to treat others how you want to be treated. We also learned that the tone of self reliance was inspirational. "If you're noble he'll love you and if you're not..." because he talks about respect and others opinions.

So far today I've heard about how someone related to self reliance with a personal experience and he learned to forgive the other person and not get mad. I also presentated I showed off my kahoot game I made, it was pretty cool. Then a group showed their quote "The world has been instructed by its kings" which they chose for was cause it meant we've been ruled over by kings and presidents or something like that.

basically if I was to summerize Emerson's self reliance he's trying to say just to be yourself. He wants you to be different and not be scared of being yourself. He says you're a genuis and to always follow your life goals. Emerson wants the kids to know that they're the future and people care what you say. He wants you to be different and chase your dreams. He says the younger kids are better than old people.

1) be yourself It's basically just saying stay true to yourself and don't change. They came up in the seminar because it was a pretty relatable quote by Emerson. 2)"the world has been instructed by its kings who have so magnetized the eyes of nations" This basically is talking about how all the leaders or kings,presidents etc get all the attention when they shouldn't. 3) "the soul is no traveler" What Emerson is basically trying to say is you act like yourself no matter where you travel 4) "what I must do is all that concerns me not what people think" It's saying I do what I want and I don't care what people think of me. It came up because we do what we want and we don't care what people think.

So far what I've read I'm confused. so far what I've gotten is to conform against conformity. Also about kings and rulers and How you wake up and realize you're the true prince. Our consistency scares us more than our self trust. Self existence is the attribute of supreme cause. What does Emerson mean "but now we are a mob"?

You should speak up when you feel like it's the right thing to do. For example if someone's being physically hurt then you should jump in. If I see 2 people who hate eacheother wanna beat each other up then I wouldn't jump in I'd let them it's their problem. It's different someone's getting picked on by someone else just to feel better about himself then that's when you jump in. Any bullying relatedthing . things

1. The plot is that this guy named Chee who tries to find a stolen artifact backhoe. The whole plot revolves on who it might be. 2. The theme is on the mistakes of working with different cultures when ones a minority(Navajos) compared to (white) who is dominant. 3.based on the authors tone I truly believe he has isomnia staying up late drinking caffeine.Then in the mornings he wakes up feeling like shit wishing he could sleep. I feel like he's the type of author to eat cereal while barely awake. 4. The imagery in this story is amazing I actually felt like I was there. I felt like I was also hunting for the thief which truly was interesting and fun. The authors diction is truly complex and shows he's educated.

Most of the time authorities in my life try to help me be the best me I can be. Also sometimes certain authorities don't want me to be myself, they want me to be the same. In school authorities want me to succeed being myself loving what I do but 1 teacher doesn't want me to make It out in thee world. My coaches are always motivating me and believe in me, which makes me feel comfortable. Harambe the gorilla is my inspiration.

So far what I've noticed is Donald trump is talking from his ass. Every time the guy asks him about his opinion over the topic he changes and talks about his business or how much money he makes . He doesn't know how to run a country. He's trying to run it the same as a business. So far the tax topic makes Donald trump evade the question. Hilary got triggered when she was asked over her 33,000 emails.

Young Goodman brown questions

1) Hawthornes purpose was to show how dark people actually are even though they seem to be religious and never commit sins. 2)I agree with his wife being named faith it's a double entendre. Like he leaves "faith" to go on a dark deed in the forest. Brown doesn't have faith in the end. 3) The pink ribbons signify Faith's innocence and the good. 4)" Depending upon one another's hearts, ye had still hoped that virtue were not all a dream! Now are ye undeceived! Evil is the nature of mankind. Evil must be your only happiness. Welcome, again, my children, to the communion of your race!" This helps prove my point that it wasn't a dream. 5) I think that old man is the devil because his snake staff and because he knows everybody in the village and important people and has known young Goodman's brown grandpa. 6)The staff represents temptation from the Adam and Eve story. I think the staff plays mind games with Goodman brown and shows the towns t...

My first impression of this whole story was the beginning was pretty boring but as soon as I read more I got sucked into it. I think it's pretty crazy how he couldn't tell if it was real or just all a dream. It's crazy how even all the really religious people like the father or pastor were associated with the devil. Even faith was involved. I agree with young Goodman brown never trusting the people in the village after that experience.

The language is actually not very different compared to ours today just a couple words.i think it's pretty interesting how they told this story over and over without forgetting any major details. I think that there might be a couple parts of missing due to being told over many years with out any one to write it down. I honestly think people embellished it .the language is similar because back in the day we used short sentences and slang like how we do today. Some words might have been left out from the original due to it being translated and words changing over generations. Because it started as an oral story some words might have been left out or they might have added a whole bunch.

After reading Richard cory I've realized that you never know what a persons going through. No matter how happy or fine someone seems. I feel like this poem is pretty deep. Everybody knows Richard Cory always smiling and everybody wants to be just like him and one day he just kills himself that's pretty crazy. I wonder what caused Richard Cory to finally decide to end his life? Like I'm wondering why if you're rich and have everything you can imagine ? Like I feel like there was some details left out but great poem. The link to the other poem doesn't work for me.
