Friends

     Why do I feel like my friends draw away from me more than they are ever really near me? Is it just my imagination or am I just not that great to be around? I really don't know. Most times I feel like my group of friends likes to talk within them selves and leave me out of everything unless I ask or it is important for me to know.They are always texting each other but I am never in those conversations and just feel like nobody ever wants to talk to me. Most of the time I feel like a bumbling idiot and never say anything right and that all I am doing is putting my foot in my mouth. Sometimes I feel like I'm just there because they take pity on me. I can't tell you why I feel this I can't even really tell myself. All I know is that sometimes I feel like I have friends. The ones where I can tell everything to and not feel like they are judging by the way I feel or by the way I may react to a situation.
      I just really don't know, maybe it is just the stress and this Thanksgiving break will just make all these doubts go away. Well venting felt very nice and who ever reads this thanks for listening(or reading...whatever). Have Happy Thanksgiving y'all.

Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Family Gatherings

        This year is my first Thanksgiving that I have to stay home and not go with my family to celebrate. I am actually not made at all but I am sad because I don't get to see my mom side of the family whom I haven't seen in almost a year. This years everyone is gathering down in Ridgecrest, California because my Grandpa had a heart attack and stroke earlier this year. I wasn't able to go and see him then either because of job obligations(which I am not complaining about) but I am sadden by the fact that I still don't get to see him face to face probably until Christmas and maybe not even then.
       I am not able to see any of them because of Black Friday, while I am excited to work my first one ever I to miss Thanksgiving with my whole family. Luckily though my older sister also has to stay home because of her work so we are creating our own Thanksgiving. If I didn't have her on Thanksgiving I would be very sad and would be a little depressed. We are going to stay in a hotel tonight then we are going to have dinner on Thursday at a family friends house and then I will work on Friday then afterwards we will do some fun girl stuff then watch a new movie on Saturday. So I guess it's not all that bad.
       I will also get to see my family through Skype(got to love technology) and get to talk to them and see how they are all doing. This year Thanksgiving might be different, but it will be fun and exciting too.
                             Have a Happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful time with family!!!!

Messy Rooms

         Why must we clean our rooms? I ask my self this all the time when my room is a mess and my mom says I have to clean it. Why? Most of the time i find it much easier to keep it a mess. I know where everything is. It is exactly where I left it. Yet there are those moments where a clean room is useful. Yet why can't the room stay clean.
         Today that is my dilemma. I know I should clean my room (not just because my mom told me, even though its high on the list), But why does it have to be so difficult and BORING! I have always wanted to be organized but it just so time consuming and not fun so I just never do it. You have wash landurary that has been on the floor for weeks you have to hang up and fold that landarury and then put everything away in a neat and organized place. BORING!! I would rather be reading a book and hanging out with my friends then clean my room.
         But because I have no school today I have to do this gruling task and do it before I can do anything fun and exciting today, says mom. Well that is just a buzz kill because I probably won't and just clean my room before mom gets back from vacation. Or not because then its more work. Better get back to cleaning so I can go to dinner with my sister. Hopeful it will stay clean for longer this time.

Hamlet Analysis 5

Act V Analysis

            Is it better to die with your best friend or live and tell his tale to the world? That is the question that Horatio had to ask himself and Hamlet right before Hamlet died. Horatio is Hamlet’s best friend in the whole world and both would do anything for the other. So when Hamlet is dying Horatio wants to also but Hamlet doesn’t want him to.

            Shakespeare shows that the power of friendship can be stronger than death. With his word choice he is able to show throughout the play how close both Hamlet and Horatio are to each other but it is especially shown when Horatio said he would die with Hamlet. Though Hamlet talks Horatio out of it and to instead tell the world of his story, Shakespeare portrays Horatio as the amazing friend who carried out his friends dying wish.

            Horatio also makes sure that Hamlet is seen as the hero of it all in the end when Fortinbras shows up after he has finished his battle. This just shows how friendship can last even when the friends are no longer living. Shakespeare crafts every word to show that even though death has taken its toll friendship always lasts. Shakespeare also show how much Horatio is moved by Hamlets death and how he wishes him best in heaven and that he will have peace after all that he has suffered recently.

            Though many of us go through trails and bad times we have friends who can elp us survive the worst and help us move on. This is the kind of relationship Horatio and Hamlet had and with Shakespeare’s careful word choices we see just how much each of them cared for one another and how one would die if the other was going to die. Friendship has no bounds and Hamlet’s and Horatio’s relationship is a testament to that.

Hamlet Analyis Act 4

Act IV Analysis

            In Act IV scene IV Hamlet is angry with himself because he hasn’t taken action and killed King Claudius. He just talked to a Capitan about how Fortinbras is fighting over a land with Poland that really means nothing to either side, but they are both taking action to have it. This spurs Hamlet into a rage that makes him question himself on why he has still yet to take action and kill Claudius.

             Shakespeare uses this speech from Hamlet to show that action even for something that is means nothing is better and nobler than sitting around and doing nothing. Shakespeare’s uses Hamlet to allow the audience to see that people will die for a cause that has no meaning. Which then in turn make one ask the question “What would others do for a cause that means everything?” Not only does he bring a new meaning to the word action but he allows people to see that if you don’t take action as soon as possible one will sit wait and never find a good time to do what is right.

            As a result of Hamlets epiphany, he is spurned into action and finally extracts revenge on Claudius.  Actions speak louder than words. This is probably what Shakespeare was saying when he wrote this scene. It is true if all Hamlet or anyone ever did was speak and not act nothing would get done, no wars would be won no new things would be made and no accomplishments would be finished.

            Through this scene Shakespeare is saying “take the bull by the horns” because if you don’t you will end up doing nothing with your life. You have to accomplish something others wise you are never remembered and you will just be another leaf that falls into the pile by the tree, unrecognizable and one like many other people. So take action and see what you can accomplish in your life.

Hamlet Analyis Act 3

Act III Analysis

            In Act III of Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, King Claudius has a revelation about all the bad he has done and all the strife he has caused. In this seen Claudius is depicted as a man who wants to be forgiven for all of his transgressions and wants to find peace with God. Shakespeare shows how that even though you commit the most horrible of actions, one can still have remorse for it.

            In this scene Claudius is asking for forgiveness from God. He knows what he has done is horrible and now that he has all he wanted he is neglecting it because of the guilt he is feeling. Claudius doesn’t think he can be forgiven and is praying that he can. This is how Hamlet finds Claudius when he went to kill him. But Hamlet couldn’t do it, he couldn’t kill Claudius when he is being forgiven his sins that would mean Claudius would go to heaven not hell like he deserved.

            But Claudius is a very selfish man and always wants more. He doesn’t really care that he killed his brother, married his wife and took the kingdom. He wanted power and now he has it, so why give it up? With that being said Claudius retracts his prayers and decides to live as he has been.           

            Shakespeare creates meaning through these words by alluding to the fact that even though we as humans have good intentions we will always fall back on be habits. He shows through how Claudius acts towards him murdering his brother and how Hamlet once again loses his courage to kill Claudius. By  using the language Shakespeare did to write this scene he show habits die hard and that once you start them you will continue to repeat them. Shakespeare is trying to get the point across that we are always in an internal tug of war match and that we will die from this match because we can never win.

Guy troubles

Why does it always happen that when I start to like a guy and start to try to get close to him, he immediately starts to back away. That happened today. I like this guy in my youth group named TJ. He is a supper nice guy and is always into people and cares about them and I thought he was starting to like me. But today when I was going to give his a ride home he called his mother and got picked up by her. The worst part was I was going to basakwardly ask for his phone number today. 

Also he was supper distant from me all day when we hung out with the student servantship team today. I don't know maybe I'm just putting to much in to all of this and I should just stop and just get on with my life. Or should I go after it? I have no clue. 

Hopefully this will all work itself out by the next time I see him. I just am confused and hope that maybe he likes me to because I kind of want to ask him to Prom this year but I don't want him to say no or it to be awkward between us afterwards. Gosh. I guess I'll just have to leave in Gods hand and hope for the best. 

Oh my offence is rank

In English we have to come up with a speech to memorize out if the book Hamlet. I chose the saliliquy by King Claudius when his is begging for forgiveness for his horrible sin that he has committed. 

O, my offence is rank, it smells to heaven. It hath the primal eldest curs upon't, A brothers murder. Pray can I not, though inclination be as sharp as will; my stronger guilt deafeats my strong intent, and, like a man to double business bound, I stand in pause where I shall first begin, and both neglect. What if this cursed hand were thicker than itself with brothers blood, is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens to wash it white as snow? Whereto serves mercy but I confront the visage of offence? And what's in prayer but this twofold force, to be forstalled ere we come to fall, or pardon'd being down? Then I'll look up. My fault is past. But O, what form of prayer can serve my turn? ' Forgive me my foul murder?' That cannot be, since I an still posses'd of those effects for which I did the murder-my crown, my own ambition and my queen. May one be pardon'd and retain the offence? In the corrupt currents of this world offence's gilded hand may shove by justice, and oft 'tis seen the wicked prize itself buys out the law. But 'tis not so above: there is no shuffling, there the action lies in his nature, and we ourselves compell'd even to teeth and forehead of our faults to give in evidence. What then? What rests? Try what repentance can. What can it not? Yet what can it when one can not repent? O wretched state, O bosom black as death, O lined soul, that struggling to be free atrocities more engaged! Help, angles! Make assay. Bow, stubborn knees,and, heart with strings of steel, be soft as sinews of the new-born babe. All may be well. 

This speech really resonates with me. I don no know exactly why but it mostly likly has to do with my faith and how I sometime I feel like this( well not to that extent anyways). But I do feel like sometimes my sins are so great that sometimes God can't forgive all I have done. In the end though I know he can so even though at the end of this speech King Claudius says it doesn't matter that nothing will change his heart I know tht God will forgive me. So when I proform this in front of the class I think I will be doing this like in actually trying to get my sins taken away. 

This won't just be an act it will be the real thing because it is something I struggle with all the time. 

Stress sleep and other crazy things in a high school seniors life

Senior everything changes. Some go the better, some not so great. But we deal with it an move on or try to. Today was the day that trying wasn't enough. I had a total break down. 

It all started when my alarm went off this morning. When I heard the Mission Impossible theme song play I dreaded opening my eyes, so I didn't for another thirty minutes. When I finally got the nota toon to get up and take a shower I was still exhausted from all the lake of sleep I have gotten these last few months. The shower woke me up some then, since I was so tired I fell back asleep in my towel. When I finally got dressed I had to be ready in fifteen minutes and have had breakfast and print out my homework. Did that happen? NO! It was all because on lead to another and I became so over whelmed I felt like curling up in a ball and crying. 

My mom just so happened to come home at the exact moment that all of this was happening. She sat me down and calmed and helped me fix everything and sent me off to school. My day wasn't great and was filled with craziness and some how I got through it. School, lack of sleep, work and  more lack of sleep. 

When I started writing this post I fell asleep. Why does my Senior year have less sleep and more stress in it? I don't know what I will need to do but I figure it out. 

New job

I have recently gotten a new job and I am so excited about it. Best but is such a great place to work. The people are fun and so nice, they always have a smile for everyone and make it a comfortable environment. 

Right at the moment it's the boring part of just being hired, training. Though I have to be on the computer for most of my work hours now I'm excited for what I will be doing once it's done. Another good thing about Best Buy is that they won't put me out on the floor until I'm ready which is amazing and so great of them. This means that if I don't feel ready I can train until I do. 

At the my training is on a computer. I have to read documents and then answer questions about what I just read (kind of like school don't you think?). The lessons go from really boring to fun game show type games to answer the questions. This gives me a happy medium of both worlds of how to learn something. This helps me a ton.

I am so glad for my new job and can't wait until I start really working. Look out Best Buy here I come. 

Success during the break

    Our break is about to start and there is so many possibilities that I can do to help me prepare for the rest of the semester. What I'm going to do this break is catch up on all my work that I have not done for Hamlet, also go back and reread sections and read ahead to try to better understand what is being said in the text for future reference. I will also try to relax so that I don't become over stressed when I come back and the semesters end and midterms start to come to closer. I will also sign up for the ACT and for another SAT and start practicing for both of them.

    Catching up on all my Hamlet work and even doing some future ones will help me become more organized and make me dig deeper into the text so that I maybe able to figure out what Shakespeare is saying before I come to class (or to at least have an idea). Then I will do all my assignments for Hamlet to so that I am all caught up. 

     Relaxing will be great. In my last blog post I told you how I relax reading and get my hair and nails done. Ahh relaxing . 

    The ACT and SAT are a big part of going to college. On this break I will sign up for both of them and start practicing for them. 

     So this break I have have a lot to do to be successful but I will have time to relax and not stress.

Relaxation

     I love to relax. Relaxing is one of my favorite things to do. I relax by reading. Reading a good book always makes me relaxed. It puts me into a different world where I don't have to worry about all my problems or anything that is going on around me. Reading is best technique use for relaxing. I can read anywhere, like in my room, at the park, at work, or even at school and I will be taken from that place and set right into the middle of a story that I love.

     Another way I love to relax is by getting my nails or hair done. This is so calming for me because I don't have to do anything, I just sit in a chair while someone else is pampering me. Who wouldn't love that? Having my nails or hair done just make me not worry about a single thing is done, all I think about is how everything is going. Today I just got my hair done and I was so happy all I did was tell the person what to do and then I sat back and just waited for the magic to be done. That is not even the best part. The best part is getting your hair washed. It's so nice to just sit back and have someone rub your scalp and wash your hair for you. It is one of the most relaxing process.

     Relaxing is great, everyone takes aside time to relax at some point. Though they may have different things that help them relax we all have to relax. I love to relax by reading books and getting my hair or nails done. What are yours? Is it fishing, Hanging out with friends, playing with children? Whatever it may be always find time to relax!

Not knowing

I don't what to write about this week. I don't know why it's just difficult to come up with topics to write about. Even this I'm having difficult writing. On a normal free write and can talk about whatever  writing about with such ease but today I am having writers block. Two hundred fifty words I can barley come up with sixty three. One hundred and eighty seven words to go before I can finish this blog why does foes it feel like such a burden today. 

Well I guess I'll try talking about something, maybe about why guys can't notice when a girl likes them and they are just oblivious everything they or how they act. It's being friend zoned and it sucks! Guys think it only them that get friend zoned, but they are wrong, girls get friend zoned just as much as guys. I know what this feels like because I am having this happen with two guys right now. I like them both more than just friends but they don't see me as anything else which is sad. I wish they could see me as more but unless I asked one of them out (which will not happen) I will be stuck in the friend zone forever. But that's life and I can't do anything about it. 

Well I have finished all the words I have to say and have to write for this blog. This is Waiting for Life to Start signing off for the night.

Hamlet Act 1 analysis

Even though emotion may arise, giving up virtue on words alone brings trouble and heartbreak. In Act 1 of the play Hamlet, Shakespeare shows this through Ophelia and Laertes conversation about Ophelia's and Hamlet's relationship. One reason Laertes has is that though Hamlet is the prince and has certain responsibilities to marry for the state. Another reason that he bring up is about the possibility of a child being born. The last reason he gives is that she will lose honor and everyone will know of it.

Hamlet has a duty to his country before his heart. This means that even though Hamlet may actually love Ophelia he will have to marry for the safety and health of Denmark before he can think about anything else. Laertes points this out to show Ophelia that the path she is headed towards is doomed for failure and hurt, not anything more. Laertes shows this using a image of a body as the marriage and the country as a whole and Hamlet in control of the head and speech but nothing else. This helps cast a different light on Hamlet for Ophelia and helping try to heed her brothers advice.

Children, they wanted especially for princes who will become king and need airs. But it's not necessarily great for the mother who, like Ophelia would be a mistress not a wife, would be looked down upon. Pregnancy before marriage can cause serious damage to the family of the girl, causing it to be difficult to have marriage to another person. But not only that it would cut short the days of being a kid herself and push her into something she would most likely be ready for, motherhood. This advice push Ophelia to think about all the trouble it would cause to give Hamlet what he wants.

Imagery is the last tactic Laertes uses to get Ophelia to see that an affair will cause harm more than good. The image of the peoples interesting as the body of the country and Hamlet being the head able to say anything and be able to think for him self shows that he has some control be the main control goes to the people because they will carry out any action that will be right for everyone. This allows Ophelia to see that every action Hamlet takes is always watched and put to question before it is done and that Hamlet has to go after the interest of the whole country, not just of himself when making a decision.

All of these reason together show that giving up honor and virtue for a fleeting love will hurt others more than ones self. Not only do most people not have control over there actions they have to think for others as well when doing anything that has to do with their country. Also there could be consequences that don't just effect the two people involved in the affair. Don't give up that which is a high commodity easily, treasure it until its appropriate to give it up.

I hate blogging

I hate blogging. I feel like it is a time consuming waste and I wish I didn't have to write something twice a week. Most of the time when I'm writing this blogg I don't even know what to write about. Most of the time I go through two or three topics before I finally decide on one. I did that exact thing today. I had no idea what to write about, so first I tried writing about sleep and that didn't go over well, I only got two sentences before I knew I couldn't write two hundred and fifty word blog. Now I'm stuck between knowing what to write and how to not fall asleep while accomplishing the fist goal. I'm trying not to sleep because this is one of the last things I do before bed and still I don't like it. In some ways I think blogging had it's purposes like with helping students more open about there lives and also to show how a child can do in informal writing but still maintaining a sophistication in the writing. Realistically thy not the hard part, the hard part is coming up with what you want to say. It is a little difficult to come up with either something that you learned about this last week or just something you want to talk about. There are only so many topic one can write about. I hate blogging but I understand why we have to do the assignment. It may not the best but it can teach one something about themselves.

College

It all just hit me today that when this year ends  I will be off for college. I came to this realization while watching the TV show Castle and finishing my first application to a college. It feels like just yesterday that I was jumping around my kitchen overjoyed that I had just been excepted into AACT. I have grown over the last four years, but even still I feel like I'm that shy little freshman sitting in a chair in the commons waiting for high school to begin. School has begun and is almost finished now. With graduation around the corner how can I deal with everything new coming into my life?

In the show Castle, the daughter was getting ready for graduation and  was coming up with her speech to her graduating class and the words she said made me think. Everything comes to end that is what graduation is the ending of high school, childhood and many friendships, yet we will always have those voice and people that made a difference in our lives that will always stick with us even in the end. But life goes on we go to college, we make new friends and we go on to better futures. The speech made me think this through and analyze what I'm going to do next.

High school will soon end and college will be our new beginning and that terrifies me. Am I ready for college? Will I be able to survive away from family, friends, and my home? I don't know but I do know that whatever may come will eventually end and may help me become who I am suppose to be. High school is not the final frontier it is really just the beginning of it all.

Shakespeare

     Shakespeare is an amazing writer. I have been able to understand a couple of his poems and play's; like a Romeo and Juliet, my mistress eyes, Shall I compare thee to a summers day and a few more, but this week in my class I have been charged with reading the first three scenes in Shakespeare's play Hamlet. Wow am I confused just a little about what he is trying to get across. 

      In the first scene it's pretty self explanatory and not that hard to follow where Shakespeare is going, but when the you read the first couple of lines about of scene two my mind has one big question mark. Like the line that says " therefore our sonetime sister, now our queen,...". What does that mean. I don't know how the rest of the play will be, but if it's like that I think I will have a hard time reading and understanding Hamlet. 

      Even though I may not know what is going on in Hamlet I have found that it is interesting so far and may prove to bra great story that I will reread in years to come. Anytime Shakespeare has a ghost in one of his plays things are always better and more fun to read about. I wonder how the rest of the play will be and how it will end. Shakespeare always makes things end very differently then how they will appear they will. This play makes for an interesting and enjoyable read. 

  

Can music be poetry?

     Poetry started out being said to music and told stories about an experience or a major event that occur. Then poetry shifted away from that to become the written form on paper that we know today. Some people say that the music that we listen to also had poetry type qualities which is why we listen to it so often. 

     This week in my AP English class my teacher gave us the assignment to find a song that was sophisticated and was in a way like poetry. The song I chose was The Dog Days are Over by Florence and the Machine. This song makes me think of poetry because it does have a rhyming scheme to it. Yes rhyming doesn't always mean poetry but the words that are being sung have meaning behind them. They are telling a story about whom ever the speaker is. This story allows the audience to resonate with speaker just like in a poem on a piece of paper like Shakespeare. 

     I believe that poetry can come in many forms and whatever the form is just for the help of the reader, either so they can understand the words better or so that the reader will be able to remember the poem for a while. So yes, music can be poetry it sometimes just makes it easier to understand and is helpful in memorizing. So listen to some music it might just be poetry.

The Art of Procrastination

       I have perfected procrastination to a tee. I leave myself with enough time to accomplish a task, nothing more nothing less (well...most of the time anyways). I don't know when or how I started to become a procrastinator I just remember the first few times being in middle school. I even wrote a paper about procrastination (and of course procrastinated on it). I don't call myself lazy because it's not like I'm not doing the work, I'm just wait until I have no other choice than do the assignment other wise I'd suffer consequences.    
       I have tried so many ways to change my habits, but none seem to work.  I always end up going back to my old ways . Which means staying up super late or getting up really early to finish the work, Yes, it's boring and is bad for getting good sleep, but I guess one these days I'll finally see the error in my way and change what I'm doing to better myself. 
       Most people think that procrastination is so easy that you can just do it one day and you will be a pro. Well your wrong not only is it just as hard to do the work normally the person procrastinating has to know exactly how much time they need to finish the assignment. Then they have to figure out the means to which to finish the project after doing nothing for so long. There are many more steps that a person can take but those are the main ones that will get one started (not that you should because it is a bad habit).
      Procrastination is an Art form, and many people do it everyday. I am one of the many "artists" that can claim that right, but in a way I wish I didn't. Life would definitely be a lot simpler if I didn't procrastinate, but this is who I am and I live with it.

 

35/10

    Earlier this week my class had the chance to read a poem called 35/10 by Sharon Olds. This poem made me realize somethings about how we see things in our everyday lives. Not only is the assumption at the end of the poem correct, that the world is a game of replacement, but we as humans are also see ourselves as old, ugly, and dumb when something new comes in to play.

    Us humans think that the new people are better, that they will succeed at something we can't, that they can do thing quicker and easier than us. Yet we, the 35 to their10, have so much more to offer in experience, wisdom, and efficiency. We have wisdom and knowledge of both successes and failures which can help us through many of the problems the new people will have in their first few years. This poem shows a great example of how society wants us to be seen and used. It is more likely that a job interviewer will likely higher the more experienced and OLDER who has knowledge and wisdom to work for them than the young, green, and wet behind the ear applicant who is just getting out in the game.

     This poem doesn't just show this work aspect it help tell people that yes the young girl of ten is beautiful and the  mother is not, but the role of the mother will soon be taken by the daughter herself and then the daughters daughter, and so on and so forth. Beauty is fleeting, but yet being old doesn't mean you aren't beautiful, you are pretty in your own way and people are going to love you just the same. Over and over again this poem show that by getting older you lose beauty but if you look at today's society most of our actors that are attractive are old beauty can stay with you even when you are older.

     35/10 shows a great deal of controversy in our world and shows that what may seem old and ugly may actually be wise, smart, and beautiful in their own way.


 

Familly Traditions

Most families have an activity or a recipe or something else that the do every year or when a special occasion happens. Well my family is a part of the most. We have many family traditions that we do every year (or try to do) together as a family. One that I love doing ever so dearly is wake up at 4:00 AM and watch Dawn Patrol and then Mass Ascension at the Reno Balloon Races.

My family has gone to this event since my parents moved here when my older brother and sister were little. Of course I don't remember going in the early years, but when I got older it became one of my favorite traditions to uphold. Not only do you get to see this beautiful light show you get close to family (mostly to do with keeping warm).

As the years have passed sometimes we weren't able to go because of one thing or another, or one of the family couldn't come. The one important thing is though that we always have tried to go. Take this year my parents weren't thinking of going because it was a week early and we wouldn't have all six of us, but in the end we went because we knew we would enjoy it. And we did, it was so much fun even though we may not have had a perfect view or had head lights blinding us the trip was so worth all the troubles just to be with family.

Tradition may seem silly to some people, but really it's what brings people together and make everything an amazing experience. What are some of your traditions? What do you do with your family year after year? What could you make a tradition? Ask yourselves these questions and remember, traditions are what bring families closer.

Ballard of Birmingham

The other day in class I was assigned to read the Ballard of Birmingham. This poem really settled with me because I go to church and I feel safe and protected when I am there. In the poem it shows church differently, it shows church as unsafe and dangerous place compared to the streets where a march is going on. That would defiantly seem more dangerous then church. But that is not what happened on that fateful day when that bombing happened. The bombing has changed how many people think things are safe.

Safety is a big thing for most people. If one feels threatened then they go to a place they think is safe and wait it out until the world rights it self. That is exactly what the mother of the girl thought she was doing, she thought she was sending her  daughter off to a safe place where she could be until that march was over but the church was the target in the ending because people thought it to be safe.

This poem is an amazing poem and can be read over and over again until you finally get sick of it ( which highly unlikely). Reading this poem you can will see into the past and you can see problems that occur now in the future. So read it and enjoy, I sure had a fun time reading it for my English class and I'm sure you will too. When you finish tell me what you think of it my comments. I would like to here others opinions on it.

Netflix, the amazing place where you can watch movie and TV shows all you want. That is how the addiction starts. I am currently addicted to the show Once Upon A Time. It is a great show about fairy tales and how they have come to the real world. However the fairy tales aren't just the normal kind they have changed them into a more realistic story ( which is nice). This show has caught my attention and many others to I am excited for this next season that is being made and can't wait to watch it, because it is an addiction.

I wasn't always addicted to Once Upon A Time, I have watched many other shows until there are no more episodes left on Netflix. I recently finished the TV series Charmed (it has eight seasons). Why is the shows on Netflix so addicting? Why am I able to just sit down and zone out and continually watch episode after episode? Those are very good questions, ones I don't think most of us can answer. Maybe it's the good feeling of accomplishing something. Maybe it's feeling like you have some how bettered your life by watching that show. I really don't have the answer, but I do know that if I didn't have Netflix in my life I wouldn't be doing a lot with my life (which is kind of sad if you think about it), but so would a lot of other people.

I hope I do gain something from the TV shows I watch on Netflix. I believe that I do learn lessons that I never would have learned as quickly without it. The great thing about all of it too is that all of the lessons that the characters go through I can apply them to my own life and gain so much from that knowledge. So yes I have an addiction but I think it is better for me than others that I could have at the moment.
