Richard Cory

BY EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON

Whenever Richard Cory went down town,

We people on the pavement looked at him:

He was a gentleman from sole to crown,

Clean favored, and imperially slim.

 

And he was always quietly arrayed,

And he was always human when he talked;

But still he fluttered pulses when he said,

“Good-morning,” and he glittered when he walked.

 

And he was rich—yes, richer than a king—

And admirably schooled in every grace:

In fine, we thought that he was everything

To make us wish that we were in his place.

 

So on we worked, and waited for the light,

And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;

And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,

Went home and put a bullet through his head.

RESPONSE:

 

This man named richard cory is perfect in every way , but when he put a bullet through his head he was probably sad about something or someone that was very dear to him who died, a girlfriend or, wife ,no one knew. Even though a lot of people can look happy some people have something inside them it torments them and haunts them and obsess them and tortures them but people like that find more peace than a rich man could so he could’ve been depressed so much he committed suicide.

book review of sunwing

Have you ever had to fight a war, and find your family at the same time.  Shade Silverwing had to do that all at the same time in the book Sunwing by Kenneth Oppel.

 Shade Silverwing a small male runty bat looking for his father along side his strong female brightwing friend Marina .  But they only have one problem on this journey Goth a strong vampire bat,  whom has been struck by lighting and has been resurrected and healed by the bat god Cama Zotz .  Also Goth was made king in the Vampyrum where his father died out looking for food so, Goth was made king “The stone says that a solar eclipse will occur and Zotz will reign ,but this requires 100 sacrifices”.  Will Shade find his father stop the war in time, or will all the Earth be obliterated by the power of Zotz, read to find out.

 My favorite part was when Goth and Shade are battling and shade is turning into many sound bodies (forms),and Goth is getting confused and scared. The reason why I like this part is because is has a lot of good imagery and action words. Also another reason why is that you can see the battle happening right in front of you.

 As you get into the book more, and more its starts getting better and better.  On a scale of 1 to 10, overall I would rate this book a 10.

Taste is everything!!!!!!!!

The sense of taste is my favorite sense. I love the sense of taste because I can taste the foods I love. Also another reason I love to taste because I get to try new things!!!!

 

What would I do if I didn’t have the sense of taste?

I would go crazy because I love food and every thing would go bland I’d never eat food gain and probably die because the 3 important things you need to survive are FOOD, water and shelter my dad says If you go 3 or 4 days without food you would end up starving and die.

 

Taste is my soul mate and I hope I never leave him.

My Dad and I

out on the lake,
in our pontoon,
catching catfish and crappie,

next thing you know we’re in our garage,
fixing and fixing an old used off-road car.

From one to ten to one hundred to one thousand miles,
I can’t find a better friend than my dad.

My dad tells me things that I don’t understand
but when I’m with him I make it the best!

When it comes to cards it is all about luck,
I’ll win a game,
he’ll win a game,
and it doesn’t make any sense,
but when it comes to poker,
I’m just plain beat.

I love my Dad,
and he loves me,
we will do every thing that we love,
until the very end.

Dad told her that he did need one. Mom told him that Tucker wasn’t stupid enough to be friend’s with someone he didn’t know.Mom helped me put up a picture of me.When we got home I sent friend requests to all of my friend’s. Then I thanked mom for helping me and I’ve been on face book ever since.

The Time I Slept in Heaven

 

My church camp and I went to this chapel called the chapel in the sky.We went towards this mountain I couldn’t see the top. My counselor said” keep as close as you can”when we were traveling up the mountain.We probably went up 1,000 feet.Somebody was behind,I waited for him to catch up the counselor said”keep up!”We were trying as hard as we could.We stomped almost all the way up. It was getting very dark.

  finally we reached the top we stayed up til 12:00 telling jokes,looking at the stars,and we even had a flashlight party it was fun.eventually we went to bed we had to sleep on benches I got the biggest one.I went to sleep (rarely). But after a couple of minuets I woke up . I looked at my watch it said 2:00 I tried going back to sleep but I couldn’t so I went walking around with my flashlight .I saw alot of animals like raccoons , and squirrels .I went back to my bench as soon I got back one of my friends Kaitlin was sleep walking. she took another friends hat named Logan ,Logan was also up he said “huh” .looked at my watch it said 4:00 . I went back to sleep I fell off my bench onto the dirty hard rocks ,it hurt . I got back on my bench and went to sleep the counselor woke me up ,I looked at my watch it said 5:00 .I said”Awwman !“ I didn’t get any sleep but luckily we got two extra hours to sleep when we reached the cabin I got in my bunk and said” Now this is sleeping in Heaven.”
