Poem #1- Superposition Poem : Huckleberry Finn

Now you think it’s bad luck;
To touch a snake skin with my hand,
Spilling the salt
I made up my mind,
I wouldn’t ever take a-holt
of a snake skin,
now that I see what had come of it.
It’s a-comin’. Mind I tell you, it’s a-comin’

Poem #2- Southern Hospitality

In the South they could
be seen as Rapscallions,
From chinks and slaves to Native Americans
They live in their wigwams
They have their different Jimcraacks
While whites expect them to be
Obleeged to hew into society
They refuse to conform

Poem #3-Invisible Chains

These invisible chains they hold me down
You say we should have rights, but there are
So many holes in these laws
The United States government is completely flawed.
To be a part of this country while being
a minority is like being held down by
Invisible chains.

"There's No Fun in Christmas"

It's not all about the cool
presents and toys
or the mistletoe and boys
We’ve lost sight in what's
right and replaced it with
what's "tight"

"High school"

It's all about the "cliques"
These chicks fight about nothing
just to hear their own voices
Amazing how far someone would go
just to be considered cool
If your not being yourself you are
nothing more than another
CLONE

"Rollerblades"

What a stupid idea that was
it was meant to be a joke
Going faster and faster
trying to stop
Impact with the wall was
inevitable
*bam*
it all happened so fast

"You're bleeding" my friend said
I wanted to scream my head
Pounding
I felt like someone hit me in the head
with a sledge hammer
I wasn't even supposed to be outside

Didn't realize how bad it was
I looked in the mirror
Busted lip, cuts on my face
Great way to start the school year.



"Being a Kid"

Never being informed
always told it was for your
own good
The world looks so different
From a Childs eyes
They don't see the pain and lies,
they are being fed
Being misled
Why does everything have to be sugarcoated?

"Shopaholic"

Buying what you don't need
Designer this Designer that
to achieve dress to impress
while you can hardly afford the rent
The bills are pilling up
Oh, by the way
The IRS is calling

Amir began his journey to redeeming himself by physically go back to his homeland. When he was there he found that Rahim Khan had a secret to tell him that was kept from him for years, that Hassan was his brother. There was something else that Rahim hadn’t told him, that Hassan was murdered. Hassan left behind a son who’s name was Sohrab. He was sent to save Sohrab who was back in Afghanistan. Amir didn’t realize how risky that journey was going to be. He ended up having to fight for Sohrab. In the process of getting beaten up Amir was laughing. He was laughing because then and there he felt forgiven. He was ecstatic because in his eyes he was finally getting what he deserved, and it felt good. By the end of this story Amir was released from all the guilt he was under and finally felt free.

I have to agree with Sarah i probably would never want a boyfriend that was that over proctective and scary at times. At first i was ruting for Edward but, by the end of New Moon i felt that Jacob was giving up so much more for Bella than Edward ever could. I really didn't like the movie.. I just had to say that..all the scenes went by way to fast and i have a feeling that if i didn't read the book i wouldn't have known what was going on..
