Romanticism Poem

I wish I was a Cat, lazy and fat
Or can I be a Cow, so strong and tall
What about something small and gross, like a rat.
It's to bad, that I'm none of those at all.
As I sat down to have a teensy chat
With my Mom about how Id like to call
Everyone around to listen to Nature's mat
Of flowers on the ground, the end.

Poetry Analysis

I decided to analyze A day of Sunshine by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. A day of Sunshine is about those perfect summer days, the ones where you do not want to work at all. Then the poem goes on to talk about how nature seems to dance and make music with itself. The wind dances around nature and how it is all so beautiful. Then at the end of the poem he asks if man can be as free as the wind.Some of the poetic devices that Longfellow used was a lot of imagery. In the poem he says

hear the wind among the trees
Playing celestial symphonies;
I see the branches downward bent,
Like keys of some great instrument. (Longfellow)

this just make me think of a song and I can clearly see the image in my head. I thought it was really cool how he did that so masterfully and easily. The figurative meaning of the poem that I found was that even though people may feel free and happy, in reality most people are still bound by their own thoughts and boundaries. No on will ever be as truly free as the wind is and it is sad.

Naturegrass

Nature is all around us. Nature is the trees and the wind and the sea and the sky and the dirt and the ground and so much more. Sometimes I do not like nature. Like this morning when I went outside and it was really cold and there was frost on my windows. Then nature sucked and I did not like it. I had to sit in my truck for like five minutes shivering waiting for the frost to get off my windshield. By that time I was still really cold. Sometimes like that I really dislike nature but sometimes I do like nature. one of the times when I did like nature was like a few summers ago when I went on a canoe trip and that was one of the first actual time I spent a lot of time in nature alone. It was really cool. I was outside for hours at a time just canoeing through this really beautiful river. I really got a lot closer to anture during this trip than I ever had been before I also came to really appreciate nature like I never had before. It was a pretty cool trip a pretty cool experience. I love being outside whether its hot or cold. So usually I am in nature or playing xbox. I like to play xbox a lot too. That does not really involve nature thought I guees i could if you took the tv and xboxoutside but that seems really unlikely. All in all I like nature mostly. SOmetimes we have issues like any good couple does. But nature and I always work through them the ebst we can. Nature all in all is a pretty cool thing and I like it.

My Favorite Game

My favorite game to play as far as video games are concerned is most definitely Halo: Reach. I got halo not to long ago, like one or two weeks. I really like the game. I bought a new xbox for jsut Halo, and it eas worth every single dime of the money I spent on it. One of the most fun parts is the fact that I can play with alow of my friends at the same time thatr I am on. If I ever sdtop being lazy i can go y a microphone and then i could talk to them while i play with them online. having a mic is pretty helful in all honesty since it not only helpss you talk to people and enjoy the game more but it also helps your team to communicate better and you guys work as a team better than you would. My favorite type of food is probably mexican egg rolls. These are absolutely delicious, my mom invented them when she and my dad first got married sicne they are cheap and easy to make. They are deep fried egg rolls with the cheesy meat super bowl dip on the inside of them. You can put some lettuce on top and sour cream. They are ppositively delicious. I have to beg my mom to make them though because they take a long time and are very labor intensive to make so she does nt really like to make them very much any more. All of my friends really like them too. One, Dylan Calhoon loves them so much he has forbade my mom from ever making them when he is not at my osue because then he wouldnt get any. My mom has really never had a single person try them and say they did not like tem. People s.imply love the one and only mexican egg rolls that everyone loves. Mexican eggrolls are super delicious.

Declaration of Lemonade

Lemonade is delicious. This is the one thing all people can agree on. No matter what typer of man or woman you are all people are equal when drinking a glass of lemonade. That sweet bitter tasting drink going down your throat so smoothly and nicely. Is their a thing better than a ice cool glass of lemonade ona hot summer day? We all know the answer to that is a resounding no and that few people would turn down lemonade on any occasion much less a hot day. Lemonade beleives that the borders of Lemonade should be protected and that if people would like to enjoy lemonade then they must simply becoem a nation fo this lemonade confederation. Lemonade also believes that people msut act and behave responsibly to enjoy the sweet nectar that is this beverage we call lemonade. If someone is lucky enough to be born in lemonade they will have obtained the ultimate act of being immersed fully in lemonade. I really lvoe lemonade. And Nerds, nerds are really good too. they go well to together like beans and potatos. Nerds are also delicisous and in my contritution I love nerds and lemonades they are great!

Literary Crticism

The author of the literary criticism of Benjamin Franklin is a very strange person.First of all he thinks that Franklins best literary work was his letters (Lamay) of all the things that Benjamin Franklin ever ever wrote Lamay chose his letters. How can you assess someones letters? Unless he is talking about formal business mail, which I am sure he is not exclusively talking about this. I know for one when I am talking, writing, emailing, or even texting someone that I do not write my best. When I am conferring with someone I have known for a very long time I usually tend to go faster and be less worried about mistakes. So how is it then that Lamay is able to claim that Franklin's best work was his letters. personally I believe this whole paper is a tribute to Franklin, the author made absolutely no attempt to be without opinion. I understand that everyone is going to have an opinion on everything but I also believe that as a scholer or academic that when you talk about something, someone, or anything for that mattter. In a formal paper that you opinion should not be in the paper what so ever. If you want to only focus on the historically accurate information that only paints a person in a negative or positive light you are free to do that. By all means you can choose what information you bring forth to support yourself. But do not lavish praise and explain that this or that is the absolute best according to you. I for know that for me personally I do not give a hoot about some one else's opinion. I would much rather be told the straight hard facts than listen to someone ramble about why he believes so and so was good or bad. On the lighter side I thought it was pretty cool how the author tried to relate Franklin's autobiography to the American dream. it really did help for comprehension to relate the book, which I personally have never read to something I can relate with. I mean everyone has heard stories of the American Dream and how anyone can do anything in America. It was cool to see how Ben Franklin did live the American Dream but he did not brag about or let it defin his a person, but rather used examples from when he was living the dream to further his writing or to drive a point home. Overall I thought it was a pretty cool essay thing and I thought some of the concepts were interesting. To be honest I thought the author seemed a little one sided and did not give the negative side of Franklin and talking about. Otherwise I though it was a really good essay thing and I would most likely recommend it to other people who were also interested in this sort of thing.

Spirit Week

Spirit week is a pretty fun thing since it is a whole big event. My favorite day is eithere 80s day or spirirt day. 80s day was really cool since veryone gt so into it. A few people went all out and spiked their hair and wore glasses and jumpsuits and stuff. Dylan robinson has been a very dedicated spirit person all of this week. During 80s days he had a pink jump suit and spike hair with glasses. Today is class color day it is one of my more boring dasys. I do not really like to dress up in a specific color and stuff. Besides i think our class color is really reeally really dumb. It is light blue like north carolina blue.The seniors got white and the sophmores got black. How jank is that. Why would our class officeres pick light northcarolina blue rather than black. Black is way way beter than blue. Besides tommorrow we are doing a black out since the seniors are doing a whiteout. How dumb is that. Black is not even our color. Juniors and seniors should always ave opposite colros since they compete the msot. Spirit week is a opretty fun thing to do and I like it. I dont know what I am going to do for spirit day. Im thinking nothing like really big but I dont know for sure what I am going to dress up as as

Having partners

Working in partners i ok. But only if you have good partners if you get stuck with a bad partner then it sucks. Like I hate working with partners for the most part since I always get a dumb partner then it s dumb to work in partners since te wole idea of partners is for both of the people to do equal work. But if you have one really good partner and one really bad partner then the good aprtner will be doing most of the work and that is not fair at all. Usually I get bqad partners whihc is why I dont like to work in partners I always end up doing the most work in the group since I am always worried that they will mess it uo and get me a bad grade. So I always end up doing it myself and ten I get mad that I had to do it myself. Sometimes group work can be good though like if you get in a group with a bunch of people who do nothing but school. Then they think you are dumb and they do it all themselves since they think that I am dummb. Then I get to do nothing which I really like to do. In general I prefer not to work in partners or group or classes or even with other species since I dont like to work in groups. If it were up to me I would either b e in a group with a bunch of people who prefer to do all of the work or I would jsut prefer to d it mself. My ultimate preference would just not doing any work t all. I really dislike doing work a a a a a and I really wanna go. Wow I need twenty some odd words to finsih this blog and then I am done with this blog for the day and I really think that I am alsmost done
