Found Poem

The north and the west are good hunting ground,but forbidden to go east.
Its forbidden to cross the great river and look upon the place that was the place of gods
these things are forbidden they have been forbidden since the beginning of time.
This is a very strong dream'',he said.'it may eat you up.
It is not true what some of the tales say.....
Within,there was a place of great riches.
were they happy?? What is happiness to the gods
there will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
and frogs in the pools singing at night,
and wild plum trees bin tremulous white
Robbins will wear their feathery fire Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire
and not one will know of the war,not one
Will care at last when its done.
Not one would mind,neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly
and spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
would scarcely know that we were gone.

McDougal Littell,The Languge Of Littature

Narritive with song lyrics

This song is called lose yourself by eminem.i chose this song becuase it shows that you can do what ever or be what ever you want if you really think about it and be up for it.when i heard this song it actually made me think to myself how the song and lyrics fit each other.this song shows that you should never give up for anything.Eminem is a freestyle rapper and has alot of heart in his music that he produces.. Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
to seize everything you ever wanted
One moment
would you capture it or just let it slip?
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
there'ss vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
he's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
to drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
what he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
he opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
he's chokin, how everybody's jokin now
the clocks run out, times up over, bloah!
snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity
oh, there goes rabbit, he choked
hes so mad, but he wont give up that
is he? no
he wont have it , he knows his whole back citys ropes
it dont matter, hes dope
he knows that, but hes broke
hes so stacked that he knows
when he goes back to his mobile home, thats when its
back to the lab again yo
this whole rap shit
he better go capture this moment and hope it dont pass him
Hook:
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
you own it, you better never let it go
you only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
this opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
The souls escaping, through this hole that its gaping
this world is mine for the taking
make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
a normal life is borin, but superstardoms close to post mortar
it only grows harder, only grows hotter
he blows us all over these hoes is all on him
coast to coast shows, hes know as the globetrotter
lonely roads, god only knows
hes grown farther from home, hes no father
he goes home and barely knows his own daughter
but hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
His bosses dont want him no mo, hes cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
he nose dove and sold nada
so the soap opera is told and unfolds
i suppose its old potna, but the beat goes on
da da dum da dum da da
Hook
No more games, ima change what you call rage
tear this mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged
i was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
i been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
but i kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
best believe somebodys payin the pied piper
all the pain inside amplified by the fact
that i cant get by with my 9 to 5
and i cant provide the right type of life for my family
cuz man, these goddam food stamps dont buy diapers
and its no movie, theres no mekhi phifer, this is my life
and these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
see dishonor caught up bein a father and a prima donna
baby mama drama screamin on and
too much for me to wanna
stay in one spot, another jam or not
has gotten me to the point, i'm like a snail
i've got to formulate a plot fore i end up in jail or shot
success is my only mothafuckin option, failures not
mom, i love you, but this trail has got to go
i cannot grow old in salems lot
so here i go is my shot.
feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that i got
Hook
You can do anything you set your mind to, man

Violence Essay

These days our whole life seems to revolve around violence. There are so many channels on TV that advocate violence on a daily basis. Sports that we see every Sunday stir up aggressiveness and bring anger to a high level. Around school conflicts seem to occur frequently. We get excited whenever we come across these situations and sometimes don't know what caused the ordeal in the first place but nevertheless it grabs us and we become involved, mentally or physically.The television set is a virtual fire hose of violence being forced into our minds. Whenever there is a boxing match that is a bigger fight than usual, Pay-Per-View is always there charging anywhere from thirty to sixty dollars so we can all sit back, relax, and watch two men(or women) dance around a ring and beat the hell out of each other.Then pay-per-veiw leads violence to school when the students talk about what happened on the violence show and students start fights. The 'violence' label flung at the animal rights movement may be, ironically, the unfortunate result of well meaning, but imprudent error on behalf of animals.

Theirfore there is also school violence such as the bullying, slapping, punching, weapon use, and rape will not be their major concern. To top it all, what is School Violence? As defined in the Oxford Dictionary, School Violence is a subset of students or teachers violence, physical force exerted for the purpose of violating, damaging, or abusing, the act or an instance of violent action or behavior at school, abuse or injury to meaning, content, or intent, vehemence of feeling or expression. What is sad is that school violence needs to be a concern at all. The fact is; violence of one sort or another is part of many schools today. Fortunately, this usually involves a small group of people fighting amongst themselves. School Violence is becoming more and more prevalent in today’s society. Gangs are a violent reality that people have to deal with in today's cities. What has made these groups come about? Why do kids feel that being in a gang is both an acceptable and prestigious way to live? The long range answer to these questions can only be speculated upon, but in the short term the answers are much easier to find. On the surface, gangs are a direct result of human beings' personal wants and peer pressure. To determine how to effectively end gang violence we must find the way that these morals are given to the individual. Unfortunately, these can only be hypothesized. However, by looking at the way humans are influenced in society, I believe there is good evidence to point the blame at several institutions. These include the forces of the media, the government, theatre, drugs and our economic system. iolence is one of the most primary and controversial issues in today’s society. And true that violence is on the rise. A major concern for many parents is the violence within television shows and movies, and the effect on children’s aggression.

I particularly do not believe that violence in television affects children’s aggression, but who am I to say such a thing, for I am not a qualified psychologist. But I have many reasons for my accusation and references to back it up. Now television plays a major role in today’s society, and it occupies almost every home in the United States. Parents have such a big concern for the children watching television, but children throughout the U.S watch an average of twenty hours of television. So I posed the first question. Who allows these children to watch so much television? Obvious question answered with the complainers.Many studies show that television does have an effect on children’s aggression, but also on their knowledge, and their ability to decide from right and wrong. In a certain study, researched showed that young boys who watched non-violent television tend to be more aggressive than boys who watch violent television. Another point is that violence is apparent regardless where it comes from, whether it is from cartoons, movies, or the news. Family violence affects all segments of the family. In most cases of family violence the family has conformed to a pattern in which the line of family violence started generations ago. This pattern must be broken before more children growup and live in a family that resorts to violence. But there are also children who live in loving families who do not resort to violence and as these children mature they start resorting to violence to help solve and deal with their problems. Studies show that physical punishment could cause aggression in children, but other studies show that even abusive parental violence does not always lead to an increase in children's aggression.

Violence in the media is a very complex subject; extracting what actually causes aggression and what is just arbitrary circumstance can be a very sticky process. For instance, as a recreational player of video games, I play what might be considered violent games (mostly an online "shoot 'em up" game called Counter-Strike) in the eyes of someone who perceives what I am doing as "killing" or as violent, but there in lies the problem: I make no association with the death, killing or violence. Yes, I realize that on the screen there are guns and that to someone unfamiliar with the game it might look like mindless killing, but for me, it is truly just a challenge, a very engrossing and difficult one at that (due to the nature of the game I play, online, I am playing other people with real minds trying just as hard as I am to "come out on top"). The object isn't killing, the object is winning, competition and honing your skill, which takes practice, like anything else. Now, admittedly this is a bit tangental, but the point I am making is that it is not the actual video games that are causing these deviant behaviors, but rather outside stimuli cause the ills we are experiencing as a culture.Most games like ‘Grand Theft Auto’ and Call Of Duty are really violence games because of the shooting and killing.Most Of the times when people buy vdeo games they really don’t pay any attention on the ratings. As technology brings new types of media to the fore, the issue shifts to depictions of violence in these new media. Both popular sources and scholarly address this issue, asking in effect how violent video games change children’s behavior and make them more violent, assuming that it is believed that this is the case. The first issue is clearly whether or not violent video games have a detrimental effect at all. This issue has long been argued with reference to television in particular, with some seeing violence in society as in part caused by violence on television, while others see a minimal effect if they see any at all.

Wild Cart Essay

This is skateboarding
My favorite sport is skateboarding because it’s a thing that I really like to do. I started skating like 2 years ago on March. I never thought that I would like skateboarding as much as I do now. The time that I got my first skateboard and started skating I sucked a lot, but a soon as I kept pushing I started to get better. Some times I even wonder if Ill ever stop skating. I don’t think that’s ever going to happen because I can barley go 3 days with out skating. Skateboarding feels like my life and ill never give up anything for it. I always go skating on weekends for sure. The only thing that would keep me from skating is school and that’s what im afraid of. School takes a lot of my skate time and especially if I would go to collage. Most of the time I feel like I have a choice to make because school is also important for me. If I didn’t care about school I would skate every single day and won’t stop. I wonder what I would be with out skateboarding. I would of proberly make different decisions that I do know.
Even thought I have a lot of things going on with my life rite now im always going to continue skating. I go skating every were when I get a chance to skate and in the mood for skating. I’ve skated at Culver City, Hawthorne, Wilshire, Venice beach, culver high, Venice high, La high, and mostly every school around here. Theirs a lot of good things and bad things about skateboarding. What I really like about skateboarding, which is the good thing is that once you’re good and you get sponsored by a real company you get to travel around the world just to skate and film. The thing that really putting down skating is when you get kicked out of places that you go to. Most skaters get In fights with the securities just because they get kicked out. I’ve seen like four videos on you tube were a security would get down with a skater just because their getting kicked out. There are local skate parks around here, just that they get to full. That’s why many people just skate around schools. Every time I get on my board I feel like a different person, and it also makes me feel like theirs noting in my way but a road. I think that the road leads to another level. The thing that mostly sucks about skating is that every time you go to skate at a spot you get kicked out by the security. That’s something that also effects skateboarding a lot because when we try to go filming you get stop at the fourth minute by security. Their also goes another reason why skateboarding is another world because in the real war you don’t get kicked out from were ever you go. Skateboarding has alot of aportinities for skaters becuase if you get up in the skateboarding life and get knowned they start paying you just to skate. I just hope that never to quit skating for anything becuase itz who i am.Some times when i hop on my board it feels like a feeling that i need in my day.Skating is also a risk that people take becuase mosst of the time many skaters break their legs and ankles.not just that,also any body part.Most of the time when people get hurt in skateboarding it changes the way that they feel on skate boarding,usally just quit on skateboarding.Out of all the time that been skateboarding i have never got seriosly injured dong that sport.i have olny spaind my ankle and hand but thats preety much it.Most people have much to say about skateboarding.Many pro' start talking about how it changed their lifes and when they start doing it.
