Smelly kid

          Kids spend more than 720 unwilling days in high school. I can't think of a better way for kids and their confidence building. You have your kids who show up that think their is nothing worse, and more than a waste of time than going to school.The kids who think that they are the "cool cats" of society that know they are better than everyone else. So nothing could be better than making your kid go so school and spend their day if these kids. When a kid comes to school with his brand new ant farm, with glow and the dark lights and shows the cool kids. Nothing is better for confidence than when they point and laugh and tell their friends and then text the rest of the school, within hours the whole student body knows. Of coarse the ant farm never makes it home, but ends up in the school's garbage can. You know that the kid went room with less confidence and self respect. I applause these kids of the "cool cats" clang with a inspiring clap. You think to yourself what else can these kids do to benefit your sons or daughter's education. Well in class kids get the privilege of working in pairs. How great is that. Anyways the teacher will let the kids decide and what happens, all the "cool cats" go with each other and most likely a couple of them wouldn't be there due to reasons that would make them skip, so they would have to pair up with the acne and smelly kids. Wow what a tough life, I feel horrible for them. So well the smelly kid does the work, the "cool cat" sits and talks to his friends and aspects for the work to get done. When the teacher collects it, they would both put their name on it and not asked how much work they put in. So the marks come back, and of coarse it lacks the brain storming of ideas. Who's fault is this? well don't worry its the smelly kids. The "cool cat" will get angry and complain to the teacher about the work his partner did, and will most likely get the sympathy card, and get a chance to redo it. But don't worry the its not 2012 the "cool cat" won't end up doing the work, the smelly kid will. So when he has to redo it and then get the same mark the next day, you just know that he will be riding on high of confidence from all the positive feedback. So 720 days seem tough but believe me your kid is being like a "cool cat" and is doing a great job in class and is a great role model to the class.

their is more to a song

Come on come on
I see no changes. Wake up in the morning and I ask myself,
"Is life worth living? Should I blast myself?"
I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black.
My stomach hurts, so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch.
Cops give a damn about a negro? Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero.
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares? One less hungry mouth on the welfare.
First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the brothers.
Give 'em guns, step back, and watch 'em kill each other.
"It's time to fight back", that's what Huey said.
2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead.
I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere
unless we share with each other. We gotta start makin' changes.
Learn to see me as a brother 'stead of 2 distant strangers.
And that's how it's supposed to be.
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids,
but things change, and that's the way it is.

[Bridge w/ changing ad libs]

(Come on, come on) That's just the way it is. Things'll never be the same.
That's just the way it is. aww yeah...
[Repeat]

I see no changes. All I see is racist faces.
Misplaced hate makes disgrace for races we under.
I wonder what it takes to make this one better place...
let's erase the wasted.
Take the evil out the people, they'll be acting right.
'Cause mo' black than white is smokin' crack tonight.
And only time we chill is when we kill each other.
It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other.
And although it seems heaven sent,
we ain't ready to see a black President, uhh.
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact...
the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks.
But some things will never change.
Try to show another way, but they stayin' in the dope game.
Now tell me what's a mother to do?
Bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you.
You gotta operate the easy way.
"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way.
Sellin' crack to the kids. "I gotta get paid,"
Well hey, well that's the way it is.

[Bridge]
[Talking:]

We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.

And still I see no changes. Can't a brother get a little peace?
There's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East.
Instead of war on poverty,
they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me.
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do.
But now I'm back with the facts givin' 'em back to you.
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up, crack you up and pimp smack you up.
You gotta learn to hold ya own.
They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone.
But tell the cops they can't touch this.
I don't trust this, when they try to rush I bust this.
That's the sound of my tune. You say it ain't cool, but mama didn't raise no fool.
And as long as I stay black, I gotta stay strapped & I never get to lay back.
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs.
Some buck that I roughed up way back... comin' back after all these years.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat. That's the way it is. uhh

[Bridge 'til fade]
Some things never change.



This song is a good example of poetry because it does not only have six examples of poetic terms in it but so much more. For starters it has a allusion and a apostrophe in the line "'Its time to fight back', that's what Huey said". Also it has a example of onomatopoeia when they put the sound of "Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat" in the end of the song. They also have repetition with the word change every time it comes up in the chorus. This a first person point of view song. In the eyes of  Tupac. In this song the theme is society has to come together as one to make changes to a corrupt world.

unknown stranger

       The doors burst open. A man walks in with a stare that made all the tough guys quiet. His tilted hat gave off a dark black shadow over his eyes. The squint of his eyes were as focused as a lion haunting his prey. On the head, was a hat Sharper than the point on a spear. He and opened his mouth spat out the left over tobacco left on this tongue. With his eyebrow as thick as caterpillars he raised one and stared at my face. He walks over, his boots pushing against the wooden floor making a squeak sound which got louder as he got closer. He grabs his gun with a grip like it was a hand of his long last love. He pushes the cold barrel of the gun agianst my bruised ferckled cheek. He grins and shows off his yellow mastard teeth. Bang.

Bravo Mr Sinise

Bravo!. well done Gary Sinise for recreating the classic novel "Of Mice and Men", written by John Steinbeck. Sinise did a great job of reveling the plot and characters, well recreating the events in the novel. One character Sinise did a great job with was with George Milton, who actually was played by Gary Sinise. Him and George had the same body type. A small man with a good heart but is easily tempered. Which really showed the perfect relationship between Lenny and him. However one thing I think Sinise should have done was follow the book a bit better about the death of Lenny. Because it really displayed the final emotions of George with Lenny, However the movie showed George killing Lenny real fast and sudden. Well never less  I give Sinise two thumbs up and a high five on the betrayal of George.

Their must be a other way!

       Where is that no good waste of a man, "he just opened a can of worms" shouted curley."Please curley cool your jets you know Lenny, He ain't that bright" says george. Curley runs up to geroge yelling "put a cork in it","You and I both know Lenny has been cruisin' for a bruisin"."Hold your horses curley your going bananas","Get a grip of on yourself". Don't get as mad as a hatter at him he didn't mean to do it. It was just a accident. "To tell you the truth George there's a sucker born every minute and well Lenny is that sucker" screamed Curley laughing igorantly. George gets a last bit of strength and yells at Curley "can't you just bury the hatchet with it, You and I both know he is as strong as a ox and will mess up your hand agian". "Well I don't give a toss" shouted Curley. And all the men go up the hill to hunt down Lenny.

Not So Perfect Marriage

     "Honey look they're having the biggest sale day at the Art Foundation store!",stated George with a overwhelming smile.

     Mary shrieked back,"Oh here we go again, don't you ever learn?"

     "Learn what?, this sale could change our lives"

"Time after time you go out on these sale, thinking that your going to find the next big time painting to sell and you never do," explained Mary, " find anything and it just wastes our money when you buy waste of time paintings"

      George muttered back," That's not true I''m going to find one, and when I do its going to put this family on the map"

     "Oh George give it a rest," remarked Mary, "my mother was right about you, I should have listened to her and divorced you a long time ago".

      " Well go on then, leave me, I'll just give your part of the money to our dog Russ." replied George with a greedy smile now on his face.

     " Then have a good life George, I'll be moving in with my mother"

 Mary left the next morning and George never ever saw her again or never brought a waste of time painting again.
