Some albatrosses we see in our society today are racism, starvation, and crime. These are all major things that impact daily life. Racism is huge because it can make an entire race feel unwelcome in life and people are still doing it today. Starvation is a lack of care for yourself and helplessness so you can’t get any food and you need someone to just reach out and help. Crime is people stealing from one another and getting things for free, the wrong way and it impacts the people you stole from who had to pay for it. Ways we can deal with all of these albatrosses are extend some love to everyone no matter what color their skin is, donate to the poor and arrest criminals. We need to live clean supporting lives not criminal ones. Moeller high school responds to these issues by doing community service, giving donations to the poor, kicking out thieves and there isn’t that much racism around school.

An Ode to Cars
Cars, always there to move us around
They can drive good or are broken down
Either look good or piece of crap
Can be comfortable or a steel trap
Constantly going fast or rolling slow
They always get us where we want to go
They can be big, small, slow or fast
Either way we wont get there last
Any color you want, from blue to pink
Makes buying a car harder to think
Your metal body, soft cloth seats
Make sure you don’t have muddy feet
Small convertible, big sedan
We drive you as long as we can
Dealing with rust and bad weather
Make driving conditions even better
The older you get, the less we care
Costly repairs make us rip out our hair
We will always love you through your evolution
Automobiles started a whole new revolution
The similarities we see here are they both follow a rhyme scheme and show love towards an inanimate object. I made it look like a person by describing age and different sizes and colors which can reflect personality. Rust can be signs of age in people like it is in cars and lack of care for yourself. describing features are like human talents

Blog Entry 4
there are many ways we should respond to the situations of “lost youth”. the reason we are losing our youth is because kids today are growing up too fast. we see this when we make kids go to school at very young ages, and give them homework they have to do instead of being with friends and and going out and enjoying nature. there is a proper time for kids to start growing up, and having homework in the first and second grade does not help kids. the only thing i remember from the first and second grades are the fun i had with friends at school at recess. they are taking the fun out of kids and taking away their youth too early. for young kids like that to not have any fun outside or with friends is not that good. they might learn stuff but that also takes away social skills later on. school for first and second graders needs to be half a day so they have more time for fun and relaxing. its not time for them to grow up yet. in Africa, kids are getting kidnapped at ages 5-11 to become recruited as soldiers. they are stripped of rights and basic needs to become soldiers of the rebels. the people of these towns need to fight back against the rebels to keep their kids from becoming rebels that will continue to kidnap children. the cycle needs to break.
ways to fight social injustice are to support the people that are victims of these attacks. they need someone to stand up and fight for them and they also have basic needs just like everyone else. think about how you would like it if you had your rights striped from you,like being able to do anything you want and not have to watch your back for someone to judge you or beat you up. no one deserves to go through this and people need to care for others more and not be so self absorbed.
Blake’s ideas are that he is somewhere outside of everyone else. he doesn’t follow the grind of everyone else and he follows the positive actions of Christian belief. he says that a children’s innocent faith is a beautiful universe. in my opinion this is something that should not be stripped at a young age and should have some freedom until they grow up a little.

blog entry #3: Tintern Abbey
last class we read Tintern Abbey and it is crazy how he had that whole poem memorized in his head. it was good and easy to go through and analyze and study lines and meanings of the poem. it got more into the meaning rather than just the rhyme scheme and syllables. its a poem about nature.

blog entry 2: poem
The world today is too electronic
We need to get back to the outdoor life
Where the air is clean and the grass is fresh
No disturbances or interruptions
A place to clear our minds and think happy thoughts
About life as we live it everyday
We will always be in our devices
And people should reconnect with nature
How can people start to enjoy nature?
We need to put down our electronics
And take walks in the woods with no bothers
Go swimming with friends and have a good time
Go camping under starry skies and moons
And go driving all over the farmland
