Poem
I wonder what college I will attend or if I will even go to college
I hear that it cost alot to get into college
I want to become somebody in life
I am a scared high school student
I pretend that I am not scared
I feel worried about how my future will be
I touch my dreams everyday but I am scared they will slip away
I worry that I won't make it to college
I am a scared high school student
I understand that I can make it
I say that I can make it no matter what
I dream that I will become a lawyer
I try to do my best in school
I hope I can acheive my dreams
I am a scared high school student
Poem
When it comes around im sad
It is very bitter
but as soon as it goes away I'm glad
People say that I should leave him alone
Sometimes I feel so low
But he completes my soul
but he makes me glow
I love him so
I want to find another
but sometimes I wish he would go
but I have to be undercover
I have to let him go
cause he is messin up my flow
Poem
the poem
this song has one of the major things which is sound it has rhyme. for example in the song it says "you're gonna be a shining star with fancy clothes and fancy car -ar and then you're gonna go far."another example is "where you from who you know what you make and what kind of car you in. seems as though you lost sight of what's important with the postive. another major thing it has is repetition. most of the songs repeats it's self. for example one thing that repeats in the song is" live your life". another example is" just living my life". sound makes this song sound much better with out it this song wouldn't be a poem.
imagery is another way to get people to see what you see and TI and Rihanna has it. they use visual imagery. for example it says "immaculately polished with the sprit of a hustler the swagger of a college kid" TI is trying to get his fans to imagine his style. he also uses sound imagery. in the song it says " the hootin and the hollerin back and forth with the arguing.this is something you can hear.this makes the song even more into a poem.
the last thing this song has is ti changes your mind on things. for example TI critizies the way the rap game is right now. he changes my mind on who i think I'm listening to is it really hip hop. another example is when he says just keep getting your money but watch what you do with it. this last thing makes this song a complete poem
this song has everything to be a poem it has sound, it brings a clear picture to your mind, it also changes your mind on things.

Thurgood Marshall motivated people just by being a lawyer on this case. He gave people the hope to say we did it. It also gave the people something to look back on it and smile.
The other lawyers that helped Thurgood Marshall George E.C. Hayes, Thurgood Marshall, and James Nabrit. They helped thurgood Marshall win the case brown v board of education. It happened in 1954 in surpreme court. Thurgood Marshall has a lot of
talents but the one talent that he did use to win this case is his ability to use the constitution. He used it so well when he presented his case. The case brown v board of education had a big effect on their time because schools were still segregated and segregation was still going on in some of the states in the south. It’s ovious to see the long term change that happened because of the outcome of the case is that thurgood Marshall had won that case schools would have still been segregated and whites and blacks would not be able to get the same education.
Thurgood Marshall connects to the theme “The indiviual in history: actions and legacies” because if it was not for him winning that case blacks and whites still would not be able to go to the same school. Also blacks and whites would be treated equally if he had not won that case. We should care about thurgood Marshall because if it was not for him our lifes would be totally different and we prabally would not be able to do some of the things we do today. Thurgood Marshall is a very famous lawyer and he is a household name when it comes to cival rights. Marshall was also known for becoming the first black man to become a judge on the supreme court board. He also was the first black man to present a case in front of the surpreme court.

What is the quality of your intent? This is one of thurgood marshal s famous quotes. This quote shook up some people just because they didn't understand what it meant.

Just for giving African Americans an opportunity to look forward to when they look back and say we did it.

animal farm essay
George Orwell uses exaggeration,irony,symbolism to make Animal Farm effective satire of dictators and the people who follow them.
there is a lot of irony in the story Animal Farm. one example is when boxer got sent to the slaughter house. in the story we thought that boxer was going to be able to retire but instead he got sent to the slaughter house." some of the animals had noticed that the van which had took boxer away was marked horse slaughter." another example of irony was when we thought that snowball was going to when the debate with napoleon but he lost. everybody thought that just because snowball was a good talker but napoleon had another plan up his sleeves. for example in the story napoleon all along were training the dogs to be vicous.one last thing is that the pigs were supposed to be against humans. for example they started to sllep in beds and they started drinking acohal.irony in this story shows that everything can happen and you cant always have to trust your leaders to do what you expect of them.
in this story they use sybolism in a lot of diffrent ways. in the story they used the song the "Beast of England." like americans sing the pledge. it is a symbol of there dreams. in the song it said "soon or late the dayis coming tyraynt man shall be over overthorwn." this was one of there dreams where they want to takeover and no humans will have control.another example of sybolism is the windmill. the windmill was a symbol of hard work. for example when the windmill got ruined the animals had to work twice has hard. in the story it says "this very morning we begin rebuilding the windmill we will build all through the winter ,rain or shine." the author use smybolism to show people how they use things to symbolize things. one of the other things that George Orwell uses to show the reader's the big picture is exaggeration. one of the way he uses it is when the animals think that napoleon lied and said snowball ruined the windmill. in the story the windmill got deystroyed by a storm but napoleon made the story bigger than it already was. another example is when squelar went around telling the animals that the windmill was napeloen's idea all along but he lied in the beginning so he could get snowball out of there. the story said that "he seemed to oppose the windmill, simoliy as a manoeurve to get rid of snowball who was a dangerous character and a bad influence."
George Orwell uses symbolism and exaggeration to show how dictators use these things to take over a country.symbolism is used to show how people cherish thins that mean something or reminds them something about something else. exaggeration shows how dictators bend the truth so that they can get there way. irony shows usshows us that e should not trust our leaders because they can change the way we think. the things that are in this essay matter because people use irony,symbolism,exaggeration to persaue people to do what they want or when they try to twist a story. this has a lot of connections to the real world because a lot of polotics use these methods to persuae people to vote for them. some lessons that need to be learned his don't believe everything your leader says.
