immigrants in our own land

my impression:  I like how he was talking about how they have hope for a new life but it all stays the same and they have to work harder than before.
Theme: The entire poem in expectations versus reality the immigrants come "each with their heart hoping they'll get a chance to change their lives." the reality is that barely anybody will change their goals.
tone: The poem has a hopeful tone "we are born with dreams in our hearts/looking for better days ahead.
mood: the mood of the poem is feeling bad for whoever the author is talking about.
devices:

An earth shattering fart

my response to sound of thunder is that  I like how much detail there was it is crazy how even after the guy told him to not go off the path he still went and didn't believe the effects that that one step had on his whole existence. The story was very nerve racking when they came face to face with the dinasour. I loved when they were saying six million years into the future their president kieth just won but after they came back and after he stepped on the butterfly everything changed I feel like this story is a very good example of the butterfly effect where one thing can change something forever.

Emersons child

4. If I was walking down the street and a 10 year old stopped me asking about Emerson and self reliance I would say that his main point is about believing in your self. Throughout his whole article the main idea he talked about is individualism taking matters into your own hands people will try to bring you down your whole life but just to remember that you have the key to yourself and that is the only thing that can change the way you feel or change how you think about your self. I would tell the 10 year old just to remember to be themselves even if some one is putting you down so badly just be you.

My Emerson

I want to make a poster where I put down quotes and explain them in my own words

EMERSON FOR THE YOUNG BUCK

What I have learned from on self reliance is that everybody has something to contribute into the world one way or another. Emerson believes that all of us have potential to be something and we are either to shy or lazy to do anything about our dreams our whole lives we are put in a tiny box just to get the life sucked out of us but this essay shows that that is a waste of time we really only have one life maybe and this is really how we want to spend it scared to say something afraid that someone will judge that is what Emerson taught me.

Dear Neal M. Goldsmith PhD,
 I recently became interested in the human concience on how we are able to remember things like speech and peoples faces. This really fascinates me , I would love to know more about this I feel like you are the right person to talk to about this. As I read your article about our concience the article intrigued me more and more.

response to conscience of a hacker

My response to this story is that I really didn't understand what it meant I really liked the meaning behind I just can't put what I read into words.

Young Goodman Brown

1)I think Hawthorne's purpose was to teach us that everyone we meet is who they say they are.
2) her name fits her because she has the pink ribbons and that means joy
3)the pink ribbons represent happiness and joy
4) the old man is the devil because he says that he has met his father and his grandfather and him and young Goodman brown are the same age.
5) the staff represents the devil and how he is able to look all young and bring people into the woods to die or get possessed.
6)i feel like he would have had a good life and would have still been able to trust but him going to the forest was good at the same time because he can tell who are fake and who are real.

literature analysis questions #1

 My Book is Pride and the Prejudice

1. Mr.Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett despise each other because Mr.Darcy broke her sisters heart.

2. The theme of the story is pride Elizabeth let her pride get in the way of things.

3. I feel like Jane Austen wakes up in the morning has her clothes neatly set out to wear for the day drinks her coffee has no dark circles under her eyes she has her whole life put together. I think her time to the story is joy cause I believe she loves writing and reading this story.
4.
irony: "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." pg.1
simile: " your profusion makes me saving; and if you lament over him much longer,my heart will be as light as a feather." pg.152
imagery: "smiles decked the face of Mrs. Bennett, as the carriage drove up to the door;herhusband looked impenetrably grave; her daughters, alarmed, anxious, uneasy." pg.210
motifs: "For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn?"

alliteration: "oh, my dear Eliza!pray make haste and come into the dining room, for there is such a slight to be seen!"pg.152

the big question

Are we alone in the universe or are we not?

ANCIENT STORIES

The language in this text is different from our everyday language because they went into more description than us

It's important cause the story can change meaning and not be as true
