Credit To Amazing blogs- Many besides 3

In class 810, there are many students. And though we like to fool around, and act churlishly,  we write elaborately. This is because we express our feelings very well, and we do it "straight up". when we write, we don't joke arounjd. We are serious, and that helps us grow. But some of the students in this class really caught my eyes with their posts, and here are just 3 that are show good work, in many areas:

1) Isaiah nardone. What I like about Isaiah's writing is his mood. His poetry is very wel written. He puts so much emotion in his writing, it seems unreal. The conflicts that go on in his writing are very realistic. they are real. I've felt his writing more than once. He wrote an amzing sonnet for ELA as well. His writing expresses alot of emotions and it is usually long and great! =]

2) Melody Wallace. The vivid colors of the writing grab my attention. In that case, it makes me want to read it. And her posts aren't bad at all. I like how she selects different colors to respresent the different words. Some are obvious like for orange joiuce, she uses orange. And brown for bread. And that makes it exciting. I feel like her posts are very meaningful to her because they are funny and she is has a very lively personality. I really like her posts.

3)And Last, but not least, is Daniel Bortoluzzi. I love his writing in general. He writes with passion, and with real live situations. It's all very enchanting. I love his poems, they might be very short, or they can be long, but either way, I love them. It shows many emotions and I can relate to all of them. I feel like his posts are meaningful to him, all of them relate to our daily lives. Some of his posts are hilarious, but are situations that happens to him. For example "promotion in doubt". That's a poem he wrote about a letter being sent home from the board of ed, and he might not pass the grade. And he talks about raising his grades even if it costs him not bursting out laughing in class like he always does. Even if it costs him to not talk while other people talk which he always does.  But he has a very creative mind, and I really enjoy/love that.

Interpretation On Famous Langston Hughes Poem (Entry # 8)

         A few days ago, in class, we talked about a famous poem by Langston Hughes called Mother to son. The reason I think that it is famous, is because it is easy to relate to.  I find it very interesting that we can do this, because it has a theme, that i've mentioned alot in the Past. I've mentioned this in entry # 7, maybe # 6 and I did on my appreciation. This is what I think if it.

"Well, son, I'll tell you:
life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
and splinters,
and boards torn up,
and places with no carpet on the floor--
 Bare.
 But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
and reachin' landin's,
and turnin' coeners,
and sometimes going in the dark
where there ain't been no light.
So boy, don't you turn back. Don't you set down on the steps
'cause you finds its kinder hard.
don't you fall now--
For i'se still goin', honey,
i'se still climbin',
and life for me ain't been no crystal stair."
No one should have to jusdghe you... no matter what, becuase one will never be perfect. Life is God's test, and it's not about passing, it's just about not falling. Tjhese are things that keep steady, that will not change, or are chaning. Never give up becuase bad times, can definitely make you stronger. Pull yourself through, and don't back down.  Life's a rollercoater, has its ups and downs. This can all be a concept of depression, stress, worries, preoccupations, lifelessness. There were barriers.
*Cryastals are clear, perfect, a diamond to fit right in. Life is sadly the opposite. But you can't go back to what is done. You cannot reverse time to make things look better, you can't take things back.

That was my interpretation of it. i feel like there are many emotions stressed out largely, falling deep, feeling alone, not knowing what you did wrong...

But this poem is not only to explain all, but to let us remmeber what we're here foor, becuase things aren't doomsday, and it's not the end of the world. Things are going to get better...
Just hope so.
