Homework # 2

From reading the poem I started to see that he can talk about one thing . I started to see that he has ideas and that I could understand what he is talking about. In the first this poem he talked about how we should all just be one. They there is no difference between me and you,or from him and her. And I keep on reading I started to think more and more how he is right. I think in while reading the quote tat made we really see what he was saying was “If you meet some stranger in the street and love him or her, do I not often meet strangers in the street and love them?” All he is doing is asking someone id you do thid what makes you think I don’t do it either. That we think we are alone when really we all go thorough the same thing but at different time and in different ways. In ways that it feels like no one can conncet with you , when really we all can conncet with eachother .

Reading the other poem I started to see that he was saying that why does time matter. That we pay attention to time with out knowing if this time will always be there for us. Who is to say that today is not you last day or that isn’t “Have you feard the futurre would be nothing to you” That there will be not future for you. These are the things we can’t control or want to thibk that we can’t do anything about it. I believe that Walt Whitman wants us to see that we need to live for know not tomorrow and not for yesterday . that the only think that matters in now ,because nothing is promise.

So I am reading “Leaves of Grass” by Walt Whitman, and it is really hard to really understand what he is telling. I mean while reading you start to see little bits of what he is trying to say but then at the same time you don’t really know if that is what he is really trying to say. So I start to read out loud to see if that would help me see what he is trying to say but not really. As reading I feel that Walt Whitman writes in a way that is so simple that it is hard.

Homework 47

1. The students teaching the teacher how to have fun.
2. One student teaching the teacher how to connect with the kids.
3. Have the kids be all one race with a different race teacher.
4. Have a class of just females or just males and a different gender teacher and see how they get a long and the respect they give and get.
5.


In the movies you have the kid spending a lot of time with teacher showing them how if they do this kids with listen more and if they do this kids will not listen. And you can also show how the students helps the teacher realize what kind of person they really are(because in everyone movie the teachers help the students see that they can do this or are good at that. I think that they students should also have both parents to show that even if have both parents you can still have problems at school

The Stranger 2

I feel that that this book is good. I feel that the book really makes you think about life and how you look at life. I think that from reading this book I find myself thinking more about my life and what what I really think is the right road for me. I also feel that as a teenager looking at college and trying to find their way in life this book helped me do that. It made me see that life is something that I kind of have a say in how somethings go. Whereas some things happen and I have no control over it. I am still a little confused about that all murder thing like I really don't know why he really did what he did, or why he thinks the way he thinks? But I feel that from everything the book was good and can help people out in life

WHO IS THIS GUY?!

So for I like the book. It is one of those books that is not like any other book which I like. I like the love life he has, the friendship he is growing, and his mother's death. I do find it weird as to how he reacts to everything. About when his mom died,to when the old guy Raymond was beating up on his girlfriend, to when he is talking to his girlfriend. I think that is the whole mystery thing about books and people. Because to me he can sound cold and non caring where as to someone else he can just sound sad. I think from that day in th park I notice that we as people or should I just say that me as person makes up stories about people with out even knowing them. And even with books we or "I" do that. Even the author things me about the characters I still add in my on details about the character because you never really know what the author is getting at unless you sit down and talk to them. So to read this book is pretty cool because you don't know what to say or think next.

I <3 Huckabees

From watching I <3Huckabees I feel that I live my life in a world that is meaningful and makes sense at some points. I do agree with Bernard and The Blanket “Everything is the same, even if it’s different.” I feel that even if I am differnet then someone else I am still the same say them because we both have feeling, dreams and wrongs in life. I feel that we all my look different but deep down inside we are all the same. We all scared of something, we all want something some good, and we all want to feel safe. So in away is makes sense and it’s meaninful to me.
But then I sometimes feel that “Once you realize the universe sucks, you got nothing left to lose.” I mean you realize that everything you learn or even cared about does not eve matter because in the end it may not even end the way you wnat it to and then you die. And if that does not matter then do I even matter, which I can is no. At some point in life you are not to matter. People are not going to care about your feeling and what matter where as other points in life people are going to care about what you think and what matters to you. But then who I am to say what matters and what does not matter? Who is anyone to say what matters? Just because you have a bigger degree then someone else doesn’t mean you should be able to say what matters or does it?
And people are telling other people what matter and what does not matter then that goes back to are we really being ourselves? And who is to say that is not the reall you? In the movie both Bernard and Caterine had very good points and ideas about life. I don’t think tat one ideas where better then the other because I am not every person in the world, and I think it depends on what kind of person you are to say who you would agree with. To me I think that if you are more of a happy person you will agree with Bernard, if you are more of a sad/ mad person you will agree with Caterine and if you are in the middle you will agree with both. But then agian who I am to what is happy and what is sad? In the end I think that my life is meaninful and makes sense at some points. And in the end I think the most importnat thing that is meaninful and makes sense is my life, Because I can’t think and speak for everyone in the world, or can I?

Hey Shirley, I kind of disagree with you because I the choice to either give them the money or let them kill my friends but I am still doing what they want them to do so how am I free? To be free is to think of my two choices and them doing what I say but they are not. So really what I think you trying to say is that we are free to make our own ideas and thoughts but really you are not because every second you have so many people telling you what to do or what not to do. And if you do it then you or not free to make you own ideas or thoughts and you do not it them you are still not thinking for your self because someone told you not to do it.
