Assignment#18:My Poem

It's getting colder now,
the darkness seems to be consuming her.
Slowly, destroying her inside.
A feeling that is hard to ignore
A feeling that can't seem to leave her
She disguise's her feeling's with silly little lies,
If she spoke too much could be said,
so she rather keep's it all bottled up.
Perhaps you'll never find out,
the emotions she kept in secret.
It will all be left a mystery.
But for now, she's going to smile, she's going to laugh,
she's going to keep pretending
like nothing has ever gone wrong.

Maya always dreamed on becoming a famous celebirty just like the one’s she saw on t.v.People would always say her dreams would never come true ,that she was not good enough to become something big and popular,nethier did she have enough beauty nor talent.

She never let comment's bring her down,she would always block them from her bubble and besides they did not mean much to her.The only things that mattered to her was her family and what they really thought about her.Although her parents thought her dream was silly, that perhaps it was something that was not going to come true.Maya never knew about her parents point of view,she thought they supported her in everything she planned on doing to become something successful.Like any other,Maya needed to go to college if she planned on making her dream come true.But she knew to get a well education she needed money,and all the schools around her village were the one's you had to pay.

Therefore she had no money she bearly had enough money to afford a pair of shoes.Maya then thought,maybe everyone was right she had no future ahead of her.Her mother saw her burst into tears and asked her what was wrong,she had no response to her mother.Later that day Maya decided to take a walk through the city,to take things of her mind.The city was one of her favorite places to be in because she felt like she was wealthy.

Their was many brand stores, brand new cars and everything seemed to shine in her sight.As she walked through the city she imagined how great it would be to have money.She stoped at a food stand ,where she always bought chocolate,though Maya called them "the lucky bars".Reasons were everytime she bought a chocolate bar good things happened to her,she would find money in the ground or get a ride back home and to her it was a big deal.That day Maya had a good feeling about buying a chocolate,she thought to herself perhaps something good will come in her way.As she bought the chocolate Maya noticed a bulletin board across the street from the stand.

Assignment15#Multiple Intelligence

As I heard the tune of the song I began to feel the shivers rising up within my skin.I became part of the song as it continued to play in my radio which sat next to the dresser.It was like this song took me back 12 years ago, a flashback to my childhood, the memory that still lies within me. This child was left alone that night, without her mother or father there to put her in bed to fall sound asleep. She found herself in her room, lonely laying down in her crib, without her bottle to acompanion her. Tears became to come running down her face, as her heart broke into millions of pieces.

All of a sudden, a light began to glow inside the dark bed room, a lady began to walk in. Who was she? She asked herself, this lady was unknown. The lady picked up the child and began to rock her, maybe it was a way to stop the tears. Though it didn’t seem to be working, the child knew she was not in her mother’s arms, she did not feel the comfort her mother always gave her when she was there. She decided to place her back down in her crib, the lady did not know what to do, she could not find the solution to this child’s tears. She approached to the door and walked out, leaving the child alone as she remained to shed her tears.

The only way the child would stop crying was if her parents where their to show the love they always gave her before she fell asleep. But I guess that night was different, they left the child in someone else’s hand’s, knowing it would be the same as if their presence was their within her. That night became an unforgettable memory for the child, she suffered so much pain, and the ones who caused it where the ones she loved.

Assignment#16: The Journey

I call it my perfect world were all my dreams come true.It's not too big but it is not too small it's just right.Their are many great things to do here.Experience the land,the beautiful nature.Wooden walls are what protect me from the breeze at night,I call it my home.Everything you find here is eco-friendly.

The doors are cut from trees whom no longer stand to give the world fresh air.The light of my home day and night,is produced by the sun rays.In every room their are small solar panels that are attached to the ceiling,which is also made from wood. The best part of my home is my bedroom.My bed is big enough for 3 people,the comfort of this bed is spongy and non stringy like other matresses.It feels as if you were laying down in a pile of cotton ball's.

The bed sheets that cover myself,can keep you warm in an instant.They are made from a soft elasticy fabric,as soon as you cover yourself you feel the warmthness run thru your body.The living room is not to big,its big enough for a family of 5.In the living room you will not find a t.v since I decided not to have one here.Their is so much you can experience here than to sit down and watch television.Instead I keep a yoga ball to stay in shape.

The Kitchen is surrounded by a big fountain which the bathroom also has.The water that is in my home,comes from the mountains,it runs through tubes underground all the way to my home.Food is no problem at all,in the backyard their are several vegetable plants and many fruit trees.No meat at all,animals here cannot be killed it is a harm free zone to all animals,it does not matter if they live in water or in land.Therefore in my world I am a vegetarian.Every morning I wake up to the beautiful birds whom happen to be outside my bedroom window.

They are my morning alarm,they are what cause the joy in the morning's.As soon as I wake up I go in front to the porch and sit down on the wooden swing.Enjoying the view first thing in the morning always makes my day.I look up,I see the mountains which are big and blue,especially this season of spring.I look around me their is nothing but green grass surrounding my home.I began to feel the morning breeze.

The breeze carries a smell.It smells like wet dirt,as if it had just rained.I get of the swing and walk on the grass,it is cold to my feet,I love the feeling of having no shoes on.A bunny comes towards me and starts to sniff me.Its so small and harmless it's white and cudly.I take a walk to the forest,I call this a walk to heaven.

As Im walking down the path I begin to hear the sound of music.I hear a piano played with such emotion.Its an emotion of calmness and peace.The birds chirpping begin to join the music.It seems like a festival,with natures natural sounds.Flowers are blooming out of their tulips,bee's are buzzing around to find their honey.

Everything seems so magical,an explosion of colors everywhere.It's a burst of glittery land,everything seems to sparkle.I spot a bright glare of light in my sight,I begin to walk that direction.I am standing in front of a field.Full of flowers and beautiful white horses.I hear a voice soft and quiet,almost like an angels voice.

I sit on the field,looking around and no sign of where it could be coming from.The white horses are all I see,they are eating the grass on the field they seem they cannot talk.I hear a child's laughter giggle's and giggles.A butterfly passes by it is small and orange.I open my palm,which the butterfly lands on.Suddenly it turns into a magical fairy.

It begins talking to me and telling me to follow her.In my world I never seen any butterfly fairies before,this was my first time.The fairy flys away as I follow her she swirls and twirls leaving a dust of glitter behind.I hear water flowing along, we are approaching by a river.The fairy then stops tookes me with her small finger.My feet are no longer on the ground I am floating.

Jump the fairy say's,I do what she say's.I feel light,light as a feather I am flying up high in the sky.I look down and see a big waterfall,vapor is in the air bringing a scent of pine.I am feeling free right now everything from this view is unexplainable.I notcie the clouds whom seem like a soft big ball of cotton.I fly towards the cloud,I stand still as the fairy approaches me.

We stand their still smiling together looking at the amazing view from this height.I express the sensation I am feeling,by thanking the fairy.She has no response to me she smiles and disapears in an instant,leaving me behind.I feel a fear of scared,im standing high in the air.Since the fairy disapeared I find myself lost.Maybe I cannot fly no more,if the fairy left she probly took her powers with her leaving me stuck high up.

I began to walk on the cloud,as im walking I happen to be floating in the air once again.Laughters and giggles come out from me as the joy is expressed. I go forward from the direction I came from,im almost approaching the big blue mountains as I see them in my sight.I head facing their direction.The Night fall is begging to set,the town is begining to glow.I finally have made it to my destination.

I am on top of the mountains,a beautiful sight lives upon were I am standing,the night is no excuse to enjoy it.I can see my home glowing with the surrounding of the grass field.The forest is luminated with it's magical burst of color.The field where I met the fairy,shines with magic fairy dust.The sky is now purple,clouds are sleeping,till tommorow the sun will shine once again.This is my dream world it's the journey I desire.The perfect place my own perfect home.

Assignment#14:Uniforms

When was the last time you were told to wear a certain variety of specific colors to school?When were you ever told to be a follower,not a leader?School uniforms defeats the purpose of being who you want to be.Without uniforms the students will look individual,and they can should how they feel and what they like.But then at the same time with uniforms it shows that the school is working together to try to better improve how the school looks and how the students look.Now a days you see everyone look alike, from work to school.

With uniforms in the school it could cause less problems.In school they teach you to not follow the crowd.They usually tell you "Oh if he did that would you do it too?" They also teach you that you should try to make your voice heard.Show who you want to be in life. It shows determination because it shows where you want to go in life.uniforms may have their pros and cons.

I think that the good things about having uniforms is that they can express the way people feel.They can show the things that they like to watch either on t.v or the music that they listen to.Whatever it may come to it shows the persons personalilty. Without uniforms school show that the students have freedom.But sometimes that freedom comes with responsiblities that some people just can't handle.They try to take freedom and take it to another level.

Some girls might try to wear little skirts that aren't appropriate from a school enviorment.They might also try to wear tight shirts. Some boys also try to dress really baggy,they also like to wear their boxers half way down their butt.So I think that people need to learn that there are going to be some restrictions with freedom and responsiblity.Another good thing about having uniforms is that it shows that the school is more focus on the students education.It also shows that the school and students like to look more together.

It shows that they are determinded to be someone in life.They are trying to make the school better by trying to focus more in the education they are recieving,instead of trying to worry what they are going to wear to the next school day.But by doing this the school looks more boring and dull.Uniforms are everywhere now,they came from way back when the military first started.To start working like a group first they had to look like one.Their uniforms show pride and justice they wear them happily.But not all places are the same.

Uniforms also occur in the workplace and the school enviornment,while wearing a uniform everyone looks the same right?Well with this fact students are being judged less because there isn't anything to compare them to.Everyone wears the same colors and the same way to wear the uniform.It is also harder for those students to get into specific groups or cliques.School uniforms are also ver expensive at sometimes. Every begininng of the school year parents have to buy their kids new uniforms because they are growing and they don't fit into last years uniforms,they also have no use out of school.

The students wear uniforms every day in school but once they get home what is the first thing kids want to do once they get home? They all take their uniforms of because they feel like they have been trapped all day looking like everyone else.Another good thing about having uniforms is that it can decrease the school crime that occurs in school.This happens because the students are more focused on their school work and they don't have time to worry or think about anything else. With uniforms in schools it also decreased sexual offences and fights between the students.This happens because students don't have things to bullied with such as the type of clothes you wear.

WIth school uniforms you can also see who belongs there and who doesn't.If someone is trying to be a threat they can tell who it is right away because they don't look like everyone else.In my opinion i like getting up in the morning and deciding what to wear.I can show how my mood is that day, or what i like.I don't want to be told that I can only wear the certain colors the school wants me to. If the students wear uniforms then don't you think the teachers should wear them to?

I mean it's only fair that if we get punished everyone else shall be punished as well. I believe that in private schools and boarding schools, uniforms are fine because you choose to go there. You have to be aware that in a private school you do have to wear them, but what if I 'm going to a public school and yet they are trying to make this enforced. And while we are at it why have names why not give us numbers while we are in school? they are much easier,right?But in the end I think that school uniforms are a big waste of money and it's like they want to tie you down and tell you what to wear and what not to wear.They teach us in school to be free and be who we want to be but with school uniforms we have no way of expressing ourselves.

So maybe it may come down to who votes yes and who votes no, well i think that the high schools every where shouldn't allow school uniforms because your not alloring the students to show their personalilties. Yes school uniforms have their good and bads but at the end it all comes down to how you really feel inside.Do you really want everyone to look alike and the school be boring or would you rather have them be free spirit?Yes people do take it out of hand sometimes but like i said before with freedom comes great responsibility. Clothing- whether it's style, designer label, or quality, shouldn't have to be an issue at school at all.

Asignment#11:The Concrete Rose

My understanding of this poem is that no matter how bad or adverse the conditions you may be facing sometimes something good and beautiful can still grow and survive.It is mainly refearing to people and uses the rose as a symbol.
