20 Minutes with the President

1)Dear Mr. President,
Congratulations on winning the election, you are now running the United States of America. Although you know how to do the job much better then I do, I have a few suggestions regarding how time and money could be spent to better our country. I feel money should be kept to the people who make it, and taxes should not be raised to much. I do understand taxes must be raised because money in the end helps better the future of our economy. I think you should put money towards a new source of energy because oil is gonna eventually run out, or a way to make oil at a cheep price. I think time needs to be spent first off to fix the economy now, our future is very important but in order to get there we need to fix the current problems at hand. What do you think is the best way to go about fixing the issues I brought up?
Sincerely,
Minnesota5

a) In the year 2012 I will be leaving college and things will have changed. I think Obama will try and quit the war in Iraq so I'm guessing that in the next four years we wont have troops there. This will be a big change from now. I hope by pulling out our forces that the war stops. If we pull out and Iraq comes after us again, we could be right back where we started only with more drama and a loss of more money and lives. I hope by 2012 the war is over with no consequences.
b) Thinking ahead to when I will most likely be a husband with a family, I don't know if I'm confident that we will still be the world power. I once heard a statistic that said something along the lines of; no country has maintained power for over 100 years. When I heard this I was also told that we were not getting close to, but over the 100 years. Therefore, I think the biggest issue will be to maintain our status as a country. I would hope we could stay a dominant country because, if not, we could potentially fall under rule of another country.

Halloween

Halloween is a fun time for everyone. From kids trick or treating, teens and adults partying, everyone loves halloween. Yesterday I went out and baught a halloween costume for a party on friday. It was a tough decision but I ended up getting a genie costume. I think it will be fun to dress up as and funny at the same time. Also, I found out that when a friend of mine comes back from college over thanksgiving break they're throwing a party with the theme of "G." This means dress up as anything that starts with a G. My genie costume will be great for halloween and for the "G" party. This is cool and also makes me feel better about spending $45 on a costume.

10/13 Playing with poetry

1)Hard to explain
but surely wont fade
concepts may not be understandable
just as a proof
you must work for an answer
math is better done by two
doesn't mean they will ask about you
time it takes
and time it will consume
maybe in the end
more will bloom
not always taught
and hard to answer
love is like math
eventually you'll find an answer




2)The Road to Love(revised)

hard to explain
the feelings won’t fade
Concepts not understandable

you must work,
a proof nonetheless

Math is better done by two
maybe their answer,
as priority to you

time problems take,
and time learning will consume
hoping at the end,
an answer will bloom

not always taught
and sometimes hard to answer
so donate dedication
you’ll find an answer.

Monday Week


Today is monday,
the start of the week

with school and tutor,
i feel so weak

i get to hockey,
what a reliefe

the weekend is soon,
a mear belief

As monday goes bye,
i relief with a sigh

mondays are long
not as the weekend-
which i long

monday is a start,
which has no end

therefore i know
this cycle never ends

Oct. 7th blog

Love poems are deep. They show a theme of love. The thing is, there are so many different aspects of love that it makes it hard. So far this unit i have learned more about love, and actually started to look at love in a new way. If not in just one new way but many ways. There are endless ways to look at "love."

Love Is Like a.. my own words

Love is like hunger,
it comes and goes
even if you think you are in love
love is like a baseball game
feelings grow and grow
untill the 9th inning
when you go home
feelings are lost
as new oppurtunities unfold
youll find yourself wondering
what your next love might behold

Love Is Like a...

By: Sara Teasdale
I Am Not Yours

I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.

You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.

Oh plunge me deep in love, put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.

4)Author, Sara Teasdale, displays the theme of love when love is not found anymore between a couple. She explains how someone can be in love and then lose their spirit. Someone can have once been in love and then lose the feelings while the other person stands to believe the love is mutual.

5)"Lost as a snowflake in the sea." This metaphore explains how feelings are lost because obviously a snowflake in the sea with just melt and die just as feelings for someone can do the same.
