[ P. 755-Critical Thinking ]

1. How would you describe the mood of "Seal"? Find at least three words or images that help create this mood. Seal is very watery, and slippery. It gives the feeling that it is slippery, since it is moving on the ice, sliding. Three words that describe the seal's movement is sheer, diverge, and swerve.

2. Although the speaker in The Pasture is going out to perform chores, he makes them sound attractive and inviting. What images contribute to this feeling? Some of the images that contribute to the feeling are in the beautiful scenery of spring where you're doing your chores. It brings a very pleasure feeling, that it gives you the idea to contribute the feeling from images.

3. Who might the 'you' be that the speaker of 'The Pasture' is addressing? Who do you think is being addressed as 'you ' in 'Seal'? "You" that the speaker of "The Pasture" is addressing is probably a friend or one of your families who will be helping you with the chores. The "You" addressed in "Seal" is probably a person who is watching the seals move or maybe in the point of view of another sea animals who is watching the seal, since they are giving how they feel and look when they saw the seal.

4. Suppose 'Seal' became 'Shark.' In what ways would this change the poem? The way they described the feeling of seal's movement will be totally different, since seal move in swerving way, but shark will move more fast, and sharply. Shark will move so much quicker that will give totally different feeling with seal.

5. What do the speakers in 'The Pasture' and 'Seal' have in common? support your answer with details from the poems. 'The Pasture' and 'Seal's speaker have in common of being good at attracting the reader's mind and eyes even though it is just a simple image that they are showing. Also, the two different speakers have wrote with the feeling of reality and with the words that are very affective on attracting readers' minds.

[ Langston Hughes Poems ]

Dreams Message: Don't give up on your dream, and keep go for it. 'Hold Fast to Dreams' This line is saying never give up on your dream. 'Hold Fast' is saying no matter what, do not give up on what you are going for.

The Weary Blues Message: How Black can sing and dance. "I got the Weary Blues And I can't be satisfied-- I ain't happy no mo' And I wish that I had died." I like this part, since is talking about continuing the dance - Weary Blues, unitl they satisfied. I don't really exactly understand, since I don't really have idea with black people, but I see that they are going for hope.

The Negro Speaks of River Message: It tells the history of river 'My soul has grown deep like the rivers.' This line tells me how the poet felt. I was able to see the river flowing with the soul that has grown deep down in the rivers. I don't really understand the black, since I never had anybody close who was black. However, I can still feel the river and the feeling that has in the poem.

A Dream Deferred Message: Never lose dream 'Or fester like a sore-- And then run?' This line gives me the feeling how it would hurt to lose your dream. If your feet is sore, you are not going to be able to walk. However, if you run with it, it would hurt like crazy. So, I can tell lose your dream, it would be very depressing and hurt.

I too Message: How black are still American. 'I, too, am America.' It tells how determined the black are that they are American.

If I had invented a time machine I would go to the past with my macbook and my ipod and sell the ideas for 10million dollars. Then I would make my own company called apple. I would make it possible so that the people from the 50s can use the internet and computers. Then I would fly back to the 40s and kill Hitler before the war happens. Then I would take all my money and fly to the 21st century and live a wealthy life.

[5 Paragraph Essay Writing]

23. Everyone has something or someone that is important to him/her. Pick an object, a person, or a feeling that is important to you and explain why it is so important in your life.

-SMILE-

‘Smile~ Cheese~ Whiskey~’ You have probably heard these words a lot in your life. When you are taking a picture, these are the words that everybody uses. You not only use them when you are taking pictures, but maybe also when you see your friends crying, or you say them to yourself when you’re sad. For example, everybody ‘smiles,’ and it has a very strong affect on people. Smiling affects people by giving them good relationships. It cures diseases, and makes your face more beautiful.

Do you know why some people are popular even though they don’t seem to have anything special? In any group, there are always those who are packed with friends. Sometimes, they don’t have anything especially special about them, but everybody would like them, and stick to them as they are glued. If you watch them closely, then you will always see that the popular person has a smile on their face. A smile tends to attract many people because it gives a comfortable feeling that makes people think the person is entertaining, delightful, and affable. If you have a smile on your face every time, you may be the one loved by everyone.

‘Smile is the panacea.’ Panacea is a remedy for all diseases. Believe it or not, a smile is called a panacea, and scientifically identified. It creates cells that lessen the chances of people catching a disease. It also helps to slow down the spread of a disease. Most importantly, when people laugh or smile, it puts people’s mind in a positive state, that it helps people to age more slowly, and to live more healthily. Instead of spending a lot of money, it would be better to keep smiling to cure the disease.

If you see people on the TV, they are always appealing, and handsome and they look like they are beaming. People try to be like them, so they follow their style of make up, dress the same, or get plastic surgery done. However, people should realize that the celebrities always have a smile on their face, and that this is what makes them attractive. When you smile and laugh, it moves many muscles in your face, more than making any other faces. For example: the face you make when you are upset, or crying. Smiling moves a lot of muscles, that it makes the face more flexible. Smiling makes you look prettier, but also makes your face itself pretty.

Smiling is the most important expression that people have. Smiling can make you popular, cure some diseases, and make your face adorable. You are not smiling, because you are happy. Instead, you are happy because you are smiling. Everybody should start smiling and have a look of confidence, not only for better relationships or being healthier, but also for having better life. Everybody would be happier if they always wore a smile on their face.
