Poem

Lights all around me, telling me where to go
I feel like I'm going to heaven.
Even though they have a dim glow,
they are almost as bright as a Kevin.

Lights everywhere, lights nowhere,
they help me feel comfortable when I lie here.

Rihanna and Jay Z- Umbrella

In this song, I notice many techniques that we use in class. After reading the lyrics to this song, I noticed one technique right off the back. The caesura technique is used throughout this whole song. I have spotted many commas throughout the middle of the lines in this song. Although the lyrics are meant to be sung, they would make a great poetry entry.

Also, I see a phrase that is in the chorus that is very hard to say over and over again. In another words, its a tongue twister. "Under my Umbrella ella ella" is very hard to say over and over again. This song is a very good poem and I don't think it was even meant to be one! If read right, this song can display many of the techniques we have learned in class.

Research list

This week, I want to go through all my bibliography citations, and take out any that aren't helpful to me at all. Then, I would like to replace these with new, better topics. Whats the point of having bad topics when there are better ones out there? After I find better topics, I will start to work on my notecards. Notecards help me realize the big picture. Notecards are like small thesis's about all your bibliographies and thats pretty cool.

Monday- 50 minutes research

Prompt: Evil by Deven

Evil is a bad thing. I see evil as not listening, not caring, and hurting people emotionally and physically. Ever since I was 12 i actually knew what evil was. Before then, I had no idea. When 12 struck me, i was sitting in class thinking to myself about this one kid in my grade. (not saying names). I thought about all the stuff he does, and how I am totally not like that at all. He talked back to teachers, he didn't have any friends, he even was mean to other kids. This one kid help me realize that everyone is not alike. There will be people in your life that are who they are and you'll just have to deal with it. Evil is bad, and if you feel it coming upon yourself, you should stop doing whatever you're doing.

Post one for 1/27 and times

My National History day project is on Egyptian Rights and History. I have learned so much over this school year about this topic. Did you know, the Egypt is the first state to ever become a state? This dating back to the 10th millennium B.C.? Even though Egypt might be the oldest, they aren't the wisest. Egypt has had political problems since it was initiated a state. Many of these problems have to deal with women and their rebellion against Egyptian government. These women believe that they don't have as many rights as the men do, therefore, the are causing a ruckus and rebelling against their own government to fight(with words) to get the rights they want.

My National History Day project is on Egyptian Rights and History. This project has taught me so much in the past few months about Egypt and its works. Although all countries are different, Egypt’s problems with rights and government deal with women rights. Egypt is the oldest state in the world dating back to the 10^th millennium B.C.. All of these characteristics about Egypt define what type of state Egypt really is.
