Starfish Story

The starfish story says alot about the meaning of life.
My opinion of the story is that it points out alot of important things in life.
People don't realize that we hold in our hands the power to change a life, a mind, or the world. My moral of this story is that it can inspire so many people, by the way of thinking ,the way they see the world.

La Era Painting By: Diego Rivera

This is one of Diego Rivera's famous paintings named "La Era",it was painted in 1904.
He painted a worker with two horses working sun up to sun down. To me this painting signifies how the field workers get every minute of work done to accomplish their goals in life. I also think that this painting portrays the simpler time when all there was family and work, no technology. I guess I can say they didn't have much to worry about. It was a simpler time than it is now.
Looking at this picture makes me feel like I am there. I can feel the weather and the heat from the picture, it makes me feel like breezy summer evenings when the sun is going down. I really liked this picture!

"Change Will Not Come"

The cause I choose was the "Obama Denounced for Horrible Immigrant Right Records"as I was reading it,I was very angry and disapointed at the article.To me it seems that Obama convinced all these people to vote for him so he ran for our country with so many lies.Since this article talks about how Obama promised he was going to do something about immigration reforms,it talks about how he really is making no difference.In fact I think its very upsetting to know that "The Obama Administration" made 50% more deportations then when Bush was president and that is only in the first year of been our president. If it has only been the first year of Obama as our president just imagine how much people are going to be deported just in the years to come.I thought Obama was going to make a change ,now as I see it he is making a change but that change was not the one promised when he was running in the election. We cannot pretend that just because Barack Obama got elected as our president, suddenly everything is going to be OK.

Liberty For All

"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
By Emma Lazarus, 1883





My reaction to this poem is that it has a meaning of freedon it suppose to inspire immigrants from all over the world that they are welcome in this country.A fact is that it does not work this way.
Honestly I think freedom does not exist for no immigrants what so ever. Building a wall between the U.S border and Mexico is really not freedom, to me its more of a stay away sign and keep out we dont need you here.Sometimes I question if their really was freedom for everyone,every race then why is their walls between some countries and not others?Why can only documented people have jobs in the U.S?the answers to my questions will probly never be answered.
To me it seems that America only wants to stand free by them selfs.
