number ten!

Ouch! Suddenly, I am grabbed. I am trying to figure out what or who is touching me. I decide that it is not a human, it is an amimal, something with fur. Will it eat me? Save me? I get dropped off at peak of moutain. There is a bright light but it is not the son. I am not outside but inside. The pendulum is still right above me. How is this thing following me? Are they all over the building? I have the choice to jump from this mountain and possibly survive or get cut up by the pendulum, I jump. My fate is in the hand's of the controller.

I think that I would be for team Poe because after watching the video I kind of feel bad for him. I also like him because he wrote poems about his feelings and death about he feels about it. I feel like when I learn a little bit more about the other is when I can relate to their stories and understand where they some from with their writing. I am also interested in him because I still want to know the reasoning behind all of his stories, he is just a very interesting person.

number six!

Okay so this one was kind of hard but I got around to doing it....

So in the article I read about McCarthy attacking the Army. The article showed the government finally geting back at McCarthy for the things that he had done and said. So many people watched this event, 22 million. McCarthy didn't really what people had to say or putting others down and Welsh made himself out in the open for attack.

number eight!

The one poem that we read in class about the dad and he took his one daughter to grave sight of her sister, then gave the living daughter a kiss but it was really for his dead daughter. I forgot the title... I thought the poem was really interesting. It had kind of a different meaning though in a way like I felt bad for the dad. And then I thought about it more, kind of outside of the poem, I feel bad for living daughter because now she has to live up to the expectations to the dead sister now. That's just me thinking but I thought that the poem was very good and it made me think about things.

number seven!

This summer I saw an ant hill and it may sound silly but I still think about it. All of the little ants were gathering up little leaves and pieces of food and carrying them as a team. This makes me think about families working together and that everyone has important role to play wether it's big or small. We know that we can't do things without the help of others or God. So the little ant hill made me think of this.

number five!

I did not want to read the Crucible at all but I finally got around it to...I guess. So I thought the story was going to be like every other play that we have to be long..boring...and annoying. But as I started to read it I found interesting. The girls get away with everything! It's kind of funny. How did everyone start to believe these witches? and were the tests really accurate?.. I think not. I thought it was weird how nobody suppested Betty when she was fainted then just woke right back up and joined into the conversation, I guess we did talk about it in class how she faked the faint so she wouldn't be accusted. Well I think the play is starting to get interesting and I'm actually going to keep reading it.

number four!

Okay so this one has to be the hardest blog so far! Alright so this may be a stretch but my aunt showed me this really funny song on youtube and I am going to make it into a sermon because the guy doing is sending a warning out.

here is the link:

and here is my sermon:

God is ready to judge everyone.
The darkness is climbing in your windows and snatching Christs people up
So we need to hide our kids, hide our wives, and hide husbands 'cause the darkness is snatching believers up.
You don’t have to come and confess, Gods looking for you and He's gunna find you, He will find you.
God will find you just be ready to be tempted.

I feel really weird writing that..

number three!

I decided to research Squanto tonight, he was a very interesting person. In many ways I find him similar to Pocahantas. It is said that he is the reason why we have Thanksgiving. Now a little bit about him...Squanto was born into the Patuxet tribe of Native Americans in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, around 1585. Captain George Weymouth captures him and took him into Britian in 1605. When Squanto was in Britian he worked for Georges, after a while he was able to move back home. When he got back to America he was captures with some other Natives and we were took to Spain to be slaves. He was then rescued and moved back to Britian. Gorges asked him to go back to Cape Cod and help him start trading with Natives. Then the Pilgrims showed up at Plymouth and the Pilgrims and the Natives were unsure of eachother but then they made a treaty. Squanto ended up staying with the Pilgrims and helping them whenever they needed. If it wasn't for Squanto the colony Plymouth may not have survived. When Squanto died the Pilgrims were very upset because they considered him a friend and a member of their colony.

number two!

So when I imagine Pocahontas, I think of this beautiful young girl with big dreams ahead of her. Now after I read a few biographies about her I just feel bad, she was taken from her family and he dad used her as spy, well that is what we think, and she also wanted to help the colonists but she was put into such a horrible situation.

---The picture on the right is from the movie but it makes you think that Pocahontas and John Smith had a physical relationship but history shows that they were nothing more than friends.

Another thing that I found interesting was that Pocahontas got married to an Indian named Kocoum. Then after she was kidnapped she married John Rolfe and she died while she was still married to him.


---The picture on the left is of Pocahontas and her husband John Rolfe.

"Suddenly a little Indian girl rushed in and took Smith's "head in her arms and laid her owne upon his to save him from death." The girl, Pocahontas, then pulled him to his feet."

---John Smith makes it seem as if him and Pocahontas had a very unique relationship. I don't think that she thought that she was doing anything bad when she tried to save Smith and with her doing this she ended up saving his life and helping the clonists relationship with the Indians.

---The picture on the right, above, is showing Pocahontas saving John Smith. It is a little inaccurate with her age but I still think it is a good example.

So I do not know too much about the Native American culture but I do find it very interesting that they have a chant for almost anything that you could think of. I also think that it's cool that we are able to still listen and learn from their chants, of course I have no idea what it is saying but I think it sounds pretty. I also noticed that the chants are very different and unique from eachother. I also found Amazing Grace in Cherokee and that is really cool. So i guess for the first assingment this was kinda interesting.

my first post(:

cheerleading is awesome!
