What I would change

Honestly I don’t think that I would change anything in my life. I believe that everything happens for a reason and that this is how my life is supposed to turn out, but if I was going to change one thing I think that I would change is what I did in the first grade. I did something bad; I don’t really know what it was that I had done; but somehow I got a red light. I knew that I would get a whooping if I came home with a red light, so I came home went straight to my sister’s room and got her markers and for some reason I thought that black would be a good color to make the red go away; not thinking about when the teacher saw it, so when my mom got home she had asked for my progress report for the day and I handed her the card with the black light on it and she looked at it and said “What does a black mean? What did you do to get a black light?” I just looked at her and thought about it long and hard and finally said “I don’t know what I did to get a black light.” She just continued to look at the card and then finally just signed the card and put a note at the bottom of the card saying “How did David get a black light and what does that mean?” I don’t remember what happened after that but all I know is that to this day I have not told my mom or dad that I was the one that made the black light!

The Hunter

The mask was hot and slipped slightly on his head.  This equipment had not been made for him.  He had to move.  Staying still was a bad idea.  Instinctively He moved to the next place of cover along the east side.    He was just over six feet tall and he had tucked his brown hair into his helmet as much as he could.

He kept his gun close to his chest and listened.  I got one!  Move left!  Move up!  Cover me!  He felt invisible almost excited as slight movement in an abandoned van caught his eye.   He turned slightly and looked down the barrel of his gun and executed two precise shots through the van window: one to each eye.   He ran again.  

Some old oil drums concealed his body from his pursuers.   Two shots to the head!  Move to the right!  Watch that side!  They were better trained than him.  They had years of hunting, stalking, and winning.  There was no time to be afraid. He got down on his stomach and peeked out from his hiding place.  

Then he saw the flaw.  He had been forgotten.   There they were: the last two enemies.  They were laying down fire at his friend.  This was his moment!  He ran noiselessly and pointed the gun at the first man his body was painted with splotches of green.  Then he rounded the barrier and pointed at their leader.   “Freeze, dirt bag!”  It was all he could think of to say.  He collapsed and threw up his hands and with tearful laughter, he conceded, “I surrender.” The rest walked on to the field.  A young blonde man reached down his hand to the man on the ground and said, “Sorry Gunny, my best friend is awesome!”  He took off his helmet and said, “three out of five guys! I like this game!”  As the sun went down on a great day, he smiled and thought, “I am a beast; I can play paintball with Marines.”

The Show Goes On

The Show Goes On

I think the Song is trying to tell you to be yourself, to get your dreams high and remember where you came from. Meaning it does not matter if you are broke growing up or very well off you can do amazing things when you put your mind to it. Also that you don’t have to get people to like you by changing yourself, others should like you for you and not for whom you are not but by who you really are. I think that the artist composed this song to show that he made it big and he grew up most likely very poor or with not a lot to look forward to. You can have a bad childhood and still do great things in your life.

We Wear the Mask

"WE wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs? "
How does the poet use literary devices? Why might he/she use these devices?
I think the poet wrote this because he knows what it is like to hide something and have to act like there is nothing wrong with him. He also may have wrote this because he knows that people all the time are trying to cover something up by acting different then they normally do trying to act normal. The feelings that the poet is trying to convey is a sad feeling. I think he succeeded because it makes you think of all the times you have done it trying to hide their feelings from the world. In the Poem the poet used literary devices like, bleeding hearts and a mouth with myriad subtletics. He used these devices to symbolize the ultimate meaning of the poem, and feelings.
