The Peeved Pedestrian

In my opinion, Bradbury wrote this novel to inform. Not only did he predict the future, and describe what he thought would be in the world, but also to inform people what was happening in the world then. By discussing the book in class, and with my table group, the way he explains things and gives us little details in the book is the reason why i came to this conclusion.He foreshadows a lot in this story, along with indirect characterization as well as direct characterization.

Im a Poet and I Know It

                                                    My Sponge

Sometimes she wonders why?
Physically she knows he's not real
Or is he?
Not everyone sees him like she sees him
Girls think she's an attention seeker
Even guys think she is weird sometimes
But she really doesn't care
Often she feels as if he is a safe haven
Better yet, a way to, get away

Seeing him everyday makes her happy
Quiet underscribable
Unique much? Yeah she's unique, she's obsessed with a sponge damnit
Although, he isnt just a sponge, he is more of an idea
Rare idea yes, but an idea none the less. An idea that interests her
Even though he is a cartoon, he makes her feel like a kid
Parents dont understand the pressures they can apply to their kid/s
And sometimes its overwhelming, and at times unbearable
Not everyone understands, and that's okay
Thats fine with her, she understands her, i understand her
Spongebob. Yeah, she loves Spongebob, thats her sponge. Everyone has one, who's yours?

Theme for English 3

My school experimence is not the same as the narrators, i think. I mean im not colored so i cant really relate to him in that way. But i do kind of relate to him in the way that he doesnt feel that his instructor isnt apart of him. I do feel like that with some of my teachers. I do believe though that i am the person my teachers think i am. Some of my teachers think of me different than others, i can tell. But Dr. Preston, i hope thinks of me as i think he does. If that makes sense. Yes i can be myself, but sometimes i need to check my personality. Because when im with certain people they inderstand my jokes, when people at my school sometimes do not. Other than that im pretty much myself no matter where i go. I mean my main interests are competitive cheer, and medicine. I dont think cheer can really relate to school that mich, but medicine im sure can. I do want to keep some things private when im at school. I dont like to share some of my workout stuff and health stuf. I want to keep it private so when my results come through, people are suprised. If you know what i mean. I do hve that type of personality where i sometimes have to be the boss , but for the most part im kind of neutral. In projects and group activities i like to be in charge, just so i know it will be done properly. But other than that im kind of neutral

Spring Semester: Plan 1

My plan for this semester does not really have anything to do with English class per-say. Yet it has everything to do with it at the same time. My plan and goal is to, every week research a new fact about the human body. Whether it has to do with the brain, or the bones, or your bloodstream. Every week i want to memorize my fact, and have it down pat. That way, by the end of the semester, i will have learned so much about medicine, by just a simple little memorization once a week. The way this can help me in English, is it can help me with my memorization skills. Since, of course, Dr. Preston makes us memorize poems all the time, this is perfect for his class.

Spring Post: Music As Literature

In my opinion, yes. we can consider music as literature. Literature to me is words, words that have some sort of message or meaning. Just because music has another element to the meaning, doesn't mean it is any less or even not considered Literature. if anything, the noise, or background tunes is an advantage. The difference between music elements and novels, poems and books etc. is not really much at all. They all have meaning, lessons, stories, etc. The only difference, for me, is that music has the background noise, the beat behind it.
