011. Passer-by, These are words...

                       Yves Bonnefoy

Passer-by, these are words. But instead of reading
         I want you to listen: to this frail
      Voice like that of letters eaten by grass.

Lend an ear, hear first of all the happy bee
Foraging in our almost rubbed-out names.
      It flits between two sprays of leaves,
Carrying the sound of branches that are real
      To those that filigree the still unseen.

Then know an even fainter sound, and let it be
      The endless murmuring of all our shades.
Their whisper rises from beneath the stones
      To fuse into a single heat with that blind
      Light you are as yet, who can still gaze.

        May your listening be good! Silence
Is a threshold where a twig breaks in your hand,
      Imperceptibly, as you attempt to disengage
                 A name upon a stone:

And so our absent names untangle your alarms.
         And for you who move away, pensively,
      Here becomes there without ceasing to be.

I think that the controlling idea of "Passer-by, These are words..." by Yves Bonnefoy is that Bonnefoy wants the reader to know just because you know the names and dates on a tombstone, that you don't actually know anything about that person or their life. Bonnefoy uses personification - the attribution of human characteristics to inanimate objects - in order to make a person think more about something so small and of little importance. In the poem, you can tell Bonnefoy is trying to make you think about the names and dates on a tombstone because it says "A name upon a stone:...And for you who move away, pensively". The poem makes it seem as if Bonnefoy wants people to take a deeper look at the stones and think harder about what they are looking at. You can see that Bonnefoy uses personification in her poem because for example, its says "Foraging in our almost rubbed-out names". The word "our" in that phase shows that Bonnefoy is talking from a point of view of a group of tombstones. Tombstones can not talk, therefore she used personification to give an object the ability to do something they are not normally able to do.

Microfiction: I walked to school today

Dear Diary,

I walked to school today. I was hoping it would be an average school day but with my luck, it wasn’t. First, my alarm clock went off twenty minutes before planned because my brother had borrowed it. I turned off my alarm clock and went back to sleep. Unfortunately, it didn’t go back off until 6:30 when I usually wake up at 6. I ran down stairs, and took out my favorite cereal. Too bad my brother finished it up. Instead, I was left with the boring, bland, plain cereal that tastes like cardboard. I sucked it up, chose out my clothes, brushed my hair, searched the house for the tooth paste that my brother had taken into his bathroom and the finally brushed my teeth. Everything was going horribly wrong. Then I put on my make up, put on my perfume and packed my bag with all of my homework. At least I hoped I packed all of it. Then I grabbed a pair on sandals from my closet. I looked at the clock and I was 2 minutes late for the bus! I looked out the upstairs window and saw the bus driving away. By the time I got down stairs, it was too late; the bus had already turned the corner. My dad always leaves really early in the morning to go to work but my mom doesn’t. The one day that I miss the bus, she had left at 6:30 in order to take my grandma to the doctors for an appointment. It looked as if I would have to walk to school. Luckily for me the school is not too far of a walk. I picked up my backpack and started walking so I would not be too late. Half way to school, I realized that I had gym that day. I looked down at me feet and remembered I was wearing sandals. The coaches would not let me do gym in sandals. I took a closer look and realized, the sandals didn’t even match. I took one navy and one black! In my dark closet, the sandals looked as if they were the same color! I knew I would not be able to make it home and back to school in time so I had to just keep going. I would not be allowed to play in gym that day but it was okay, I could make it up. I finally was walking into the schools parking lot when I heard the bell ring from out side. I was hoping that it was just a 5 minute warning bell and not the actual bell. I had been late to math class twice before and if I was late one more time, I would get detention. Turns out that the bell was the actual bell and I was late. When I walked in I got scolded by my teacher in front of the whole class. Then he asked me for my homework. I looked in my bag and realized I had done my homework at the kitchen table and that was where I had left it. I had forgotten tot put it in my bag before leaving for school. Everything just kept going downhill when I thought I was at the bottom. I got detention, a zero for my homework, missed gym, and had miss matched shoes all before the first ten minutes of school How bad could my day be.

Love, Emma ♥

http://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Double-bombing-kills-2-in-northern-Iraq-2402685.php

I think that it is sad that Iraq is such a dangerous place. A war is going on there and it's own citizen are also setting off bombs. "Iraqi officials say a double bombing in northern Iraq has killed at least two people and wounding dozens." I know that there are some crazy people in this world who are very dangerous but I personally, would be so scared to live in the same area that bombs are going off killing people, and where a war is taking place. The article says "As people gathered at the scene, a truck packed with explosives blew up nearby, tearing through the crowd." I couldn't imagine being in a city and minding my own business when your average truck goes by and sets off bombs. In the poem, it says"I've thought about our military their struggles, their lives" people are dying in the war daily. I know that Americans also die daily due to the war but it is very scary to think about. 

Soldier's 'of the Iraq War' I've thought about this country This fighting, the war Things that never really Concerned me before I've thought about our military their struggles, their lives And how hard it must be On their families, their wives The things they endure For us all to be free We take for granted Everyday, you and me Their without the ones That truelly care But have a bond with their brothers Thats beyond compare They watch their comrades Fall in vain Holding onto much more than just the pain They carry the scars of war each day With not many a thankyou along the way They stand with there backs Straight and tall at the door With no fear in their eyes When its again time to deplore Straight into battle, into the core Our Strong Brave Soldiers, 'of the Iraq War'.

"Their eerie calls echo off the hills, and the yellows, golds and oranges of the changing leaves reflect off the water, so each time you dip your paddle, you set in motion a swirl of color"- Imagery: the use of words to create a certian picture in the readers mind.

"Enjoy the serenity and quiet of the motor-free canoe area"-Mood: the feeling a text arouses in the reader; happiness,peacefulness, calmness, ect.

"The fall is a great time to canoe"- Setting: gives the time or place in which the action of a literary work occurs.

In the article "Outdoors: Paddle and Hike", a women tells about her experience when her and her son Nate went to the Adirondacks "to paddle Long Pond and climb Long Pond Mountain". The women uses a lot of figurative landguage (mostly imagery) in order to help the reader visualize her trip or to convince others to take the trip as well. She really enjoyed her trip, as well as her son who "wasn't always the most enthusiastic traveling companion on [her] jaunts up mountains" Since her and her son's visit, she has gone back and done some more hiking and rowing to Pink pond. She said, "I had not heard about the short detour to Pink Pond. I have since been back and paddled up the boggy outlet to this pretty little water body. It's only a quarter-mile from Long Pond and worth a look."

http://www.timesunion.com/default/article/EDITORIAL-State-must-limit-waivers-on-22-1-2292908.php

After reading this article about a Texas state law, I was automatically intrigued. This law "limits class sizes for grades K-4 to 22 students". I think that younger students may need to have smaller class sizes because at that age, students are learning very important basic skills and need a smaller teacher to student ratio. I think it it important that this law be enforced but the article states it is not. This law is  "affecting... 6,988 [classrooms] this year".  Texas will try to "do more to solve this challenge internally when the next school year begins in August".

Opinion Prompt #13

I do not think number grades should be replaced with letter grades. In elementary school and middle school, letter grades are acceptable but I think high school students should be given number grades. I believe that there is a huge difference in a one hundred and a ninety. If a student is given an A, their grade could be anywhere within that range. When colleges look at a students grade and see all A's and one B. The B could be a 89 but the college would never know! Two different students could be given an A. One could have worked really hard to earn a 100 and the other one could have earned a 90 but for all the colleges know, they earned the same grade. I think the letter grading system is unfair. Even if the school uses plus and minus signs, there is a slight range that the students grade number could fall under. I like the grades that are given in numbers and I think all high schools should use number grades.

I Want To Write About # 92

Over the summer of 2011. My grandma and I flew to Minnesota, Minneapolis to visit my grandmas sister and her family. I had not met half of them and the half that I had met, I hadn't seen since my uncle's wedding when I was 5. All of the grandchildren were either my age or younger and we got along so well considering we had never met. We went to the Mall of America together and spent the week hanging out. The trip home was what I was frightened about. I have traveled to Minnesota with my grandma, but she was staying there for another month and I had to go home for school. I would have to take the airplane home all by myself. I was scared, but I am very good at navigating airports and I'm not afraid to ask people for directions. One I found my way to the gate, I read a book. Then on the airplane. I sat with a friendly man who was also flying alone and we talked. He was an author and he was telling me about his books! Once we landed home after a long trip, I was happy to be home safe and sound. Flying alone wasn't that bad and I am very excited to eventually fly to Texas to visit other family by myself.

Magnetic Poetry: "Celebrating Life"

P = Paris

I have never been outside of the United States in my whole lifetime and I think it would be really exciting to travel to Paris, France.


If I were to take a trip to Paris i would want to see...
http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-2775890-paris_things_to_do-i
1. Eiffel Tower. If i went to Paris, the first sight i would want to see is the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is a "symbol of Paris" and it would be a once in a lifetime chance to see such a beautiful building.


2. Avenue des Champs- Elysees. It is "one of the most beautiful mile-long stretch of road". The road has a lot of shops and restaurants and is a great place for tourists.


3.Disneyland Resort Paris. Disneyland in Paris "offers and astonishing array of activities to keep visitors busy throughout their stay". I love Disneyland and Disney world in the USA so I would enjoy visiting  Disneyland Paris.


4. House of Chocolate. The house of chocolate is very famous in Paris and their chocolate is made of "only the finest cocoa beans". Tasting their candies and pastries would be a once in a lifetime chance.


5. Chanel, Paris. Chanel is " One of the most famous... couture brands in the world. My mom has the Chanel perfume and I would love to see the place where it all started in 1909.


6. Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuitton is a brand that sells baggage. I am a fan of their work and I love the purses they sell. It would be a once in a lifetime chance to visit the actually store instead of the website.


7. Notre Dame Cathedral. The Notre Dame Cathedral was the "first great Gothic cathedral [which was] completed by 1212" In my gloabl class, we are learning about Cathedrals in Europe and this was one that my teacher had mentioned. I think that it would be an amazing sight to see.

Do as I Say, and Not as I Do

My father always used to say this to me when I was little. When i was younger, I never understood what it meant but now that I think about it, I get it. I remember one incidence when my dad and I were standing on the deck which was 3 stairs high. My dad jumped off of it without touching any of the stairs. He looked back and saw me jumping down the stairs one by one and then climbing back up. He told me not to play on the stairs because I could get hurt. I didn't think that it was fair that he could jump down them but I was not aloud to. I told him it wasn't fair and he told me, "Do as I say, and not as I do".
I am glad that my father had yelled at me and told me not to jump down those stairs because looking back, I could have gotten seriously hurt. He had much longer legs and I was only a little girl. At the time, i thought the saying "Do as I say, and not as I do", was unfair but now it makes sense to me.

heavily improvisational 
               improvisational: the act of making or providing from what materials are readily available


nary a swinging cane
               nary: not any; no; never a


percussive rhythm
               percussive: of, pertaining to, or characterized by percussion


 traditional flamenco
                flamenco: a style of instrumental or vocal music originating from southern Spain


conceptual artist
               conceptual: the forming of a general notion or idea


These phrases were taken from an article called " Dance: Tap Dance Gets Back to its African Roots. It talks about how a current dance style (tap) is originated from Africa but it will never be the same in America as it is in Africa. I chose these phrases to teach and clarify about unique dance words that are not well known. The author states "This is impressive stuff: heavily improvisational, fast-paced and sweaty with nary a swinging cane, glittery red shoes or jazz hands in sight." The author was trying to show the difference of the intense tap in Africa and the showy dance in America. The author also says tap dance in Africa is "Just pure, percussive rhythm".


In the article the author gives some background on tap dance in Africa saying is was "derived from traditional flamenco." There are some famous tap dancers like Butterfly and Xumo Nunjo who are "conceptual artist(s) and musician(s) from Cameroon" The article gives great opinions and facts about tap dancing.

Whenever I think of this book, I think of my childhood. I think of being at my grandmothers old house in the basement, sitting on her lap, listening to her read me this book from ages 3- around 8. My grandmother read this book to all of my cousins who are around my age and now that I have two little cousins, (ages 3 and 4) she now reads it to them. My grandmother would sing the words and her voice was so pure. This was my favorite book as a child and I still love it. My grandmother doesn't read it to us anymore but when ever she tells me she loves me I think, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." That is the line repeated throughout the book.

O- University of Oxford

Information taken from:  http://www.ox.ac.uk/

 I would want to attend based on...

1. One of my interests in Earth Sciences. "Oxford is one of the leading centres of geological research in the UK, with a score of 3.2 in the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) research assessment exercise."

2. I am also interested in the medical neurology. "The recent move to new high quality research and clinical facilities in the West Wing of the John Radcliffe Hospital, alongside the Department's world-class Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain (FMRIB), provides an ideal opportunity to translate our neurological research from bench to bedside."

3.The college has a lot of diversity."Our students come from 138 countries and our academic staff from 79."

4.This college is from out of the country and is located in the UK. They have offers and reduced prices on certain things for people overseas.

5.  "A wide range of library services provided by more than 100 libraries, making it the largest university library system in the UK."


 I would not want to attend based on...

1.Oxford college is located in the UK which is very far away. I am very family oriented and an only child to location is a big deal to me.

2.I like small schools because it would make me feel more at home. Oxford has "almost 20,000 students"


3.With the price of flights increasing, it would cost a lot of money just to get to the college as well is coming home multiple times throughout the year.

This picture represents fashion. These people are from the olden days but I think it it funny how the man's suit, looks very similar to a suit a man would wear today. The women in this picture are wearing huge hats with flowers and they are carrying fans and flowers in their hands. In the present people don't usually wear hats and they carry handbags and purses. The women are wearing very long and conservative dresses when people now might show some of their legs and arms. The people in the picture are also wearing gloves when you hardly see people now wearing gloves. The women all have short hair and even though some older women in the present time have short hair. It seems much more common in the picture. The only difference I see about the man's fashion is the hat in his hand. You don't see many men wearing hats like that anymore but the rest of his outfit is relatable to these days.

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

In my younger, and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.

My father would always say "Your family is the group of people who will always be there for you". At first I didn't understand what that meant but now I do. After high school, the drama will be over and my freinds will go away to college as well as me and my family will be the people who are always there no matter what. 

My father is a smart man. When my father said that, he had the intention of telling me to be nice to my cousins and other family because they would be the people in the long run who are there for me, even in my old age. 


The quote "Your family is the group of people who will always be there for you", has stuck with me. I am always nice to my family even in situations where they annoy me to no end because they are the people i love and care about most.

Zach Kilmer claims that he has OCD traits about certain things including the way his clothes are hung up, the way he organizes his online music player and his laptop desktop. Kach claims "I will not eat or sleep until every shirt is where it’s supposed to be in my color spectrum". I think he might be a little extreme, i don't believe that he actually "needs" his clothes to be in order that way. I believe he just like the way that looks and continues to do it that way. I think using the term OCD is dramatic and also disrespectful for people the actually deal with the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder life style. I'm glad that Zach gets enjoyment from his closet being in order but life's joys should not come from his organization, it should come from his friends, family, ect.

http://www.timesunion.com/default/article/Journalist-author-Christopher-Ringwald-dies-2189159.php

This article is about your average family man named Christopher Ringwald (age 55) who most likely took his own life by a three-story fall in a parking garage. Christopher was a very successful man who was  "a well-known Capital Region journalist and author". This article in particular caught my attention because Christopher had three children and a wife.  It surprises me that a man with a wife and family would do something so terrible." '...above all he loved his own family'...said Kevin Doyle, a lifelong friend". I do not understand the fact that a man with a seemingly happy life could be so depressed and feel so awful that they felt the need to take their life. 


I was touched by this article because I have parents and family that truly cares about me. The thought of them jumping off a three-story building and dying is terrifying. I have sympathy for Christopher's three children because my dad means the world to me, and i cannot imagine him dying so unexpectedly. This article is very emotional and moving, therefor i am left pondering few questions:

How old were Christopher's children?

What kind of relationship did Christopher have with his wife and Children?

What caused the depression Christopher had?

Was Christopher being treated for his depression?

Why would Christopher's family want to reveal their father and husbands suicide to the public?

No one should be allowed to carry credit card debt.

I don't think that people should be allowed to carry credit card debt. Our economy is so bad and they are just worsening the problem. People spend money that they don't have! We can blame the people with credit card debt for that but why are they even allowed to spend money that the don't have anyways? Layaway is acceptable on objects over a certain amount of money. But if a person has multiple things on layaway then they could go in major debt and cause the economy more damage. I agree with the statement no one should be allowed to carry credit card debt.

A Poem for Six A.M

Six is sick
Should be sleeping
Instead,
Changing, eating, brushing
A miserable time of day.

Seven is simple
Sitting on the bus
Socializing with friends
Simple.

Eight is educational.
Start of learning
To early to be learning.
Half asleep.

Nine is Fine
Eat a snack
Learn some math.
Want a nap.

Ten is Twisted.
Lots of learning
Still learning
Keep on learning.

Eleven is excellent
Eat lunch
Talk with friends
Excellent time of day.

Twelve is thrilling
I'm full of energy
Full of laughter
Just plain thrilling.

One is Original
Back to class
Almost done
Waiting for the day to be done,

Two is Terrific
School is done!
The bus is fun!
The blissful Sun!

Three, I'm Free
Free of school,
Free of  work,
Nap time.

Four's a bore.
Lonely and bored
Tired of homework
Bored.

Five is Faboulous
Food is fine
Friends are online
Not it's time,
For homework...

Six is sleepy,
Sleepy from school,
Sleepy from homework,
Time for TV

Seven is Special
Family time
Bonding with them
I love my family

Eight is great
Cuddled on the couch
Reading and TV-ing
Resting with the pup.

Nine is Nasty,
Need for a shower
Nice and clean,
Nice and ready for sleep

Ten is timid
Time to sleep,
Time to rest
Awaiting waking up at 6.

#22- 200 Words about my first toy.

I was born in October 23^rd, 1996. One of my first toys was a stuffed bunny rabbit that my Baba gave to me for my first Easter. I loved her and brought her everywhere with me. I even came up with a very unique name for her, Rabbit. When I was about 4, I brought her to a restaurant with me when we went out to dinner. I ended up leaving her there. The next morning, I woke up crying and my dad had to go back and luckily, she was still there. I have also left her at Gade’s Farms once when I was pulling around a wagon and Rabbit was in it also. The wagon hit a bump and she bounced out. I realized that night that I had lost her and I made my mom go back. Yet again, I was lucky we found her. Rabbit had to be re-sewn and patched together again with fabric. Just last month, my new dog got a hold of her. My dog ate off her nose and with lots and lots of crazy glue, she is put back together again. I still have my Rabbit today and I hopefully will forever.

My grandmother grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her and her sister Lorraine went to a private religious school. In the summer of 2011, my cousin and I went to Minnesota to visit Loraine who still lives there. My grandma and Lorraine took us down their childhood memory lane and showed us the school and the church that they went to. The church was bigger then most. The walls of the church were lined with stained glass. The sun lit up the room in beautiful shades of colors like blues, greens and reds. That is the church where both Lorraine and my grandma got married. This picture of the stained glass reminds me of my trip to Minnesota and that is a trip that i never want to forget.

You will be blessed with longevity. (110 Words)

When I got this fortune, I truly had NO idea what longevity meant. Now I know that longevity means you a long life. Then my mind was racing with thoughts.  I will live a long life? How long is long? Will I live to see my grand children? How about my great-grandchildren? This fortune made me think about my future life.  I would love to live a long life. Living a long life would be wonderful but the bad thing is that I will have to see all of the people I care about die before I do.  One of my biggest fears is death. I never want to die.

I used to believe
That everyone was perfect.
With no flaws or mistakes.
I know that isn't true.
Now,

If i put my mind to it.
But I know that sometimes
People fail.
Now,

I used to believe

Just because they are adults
Doesn't mean
They know everything.
Now,

I don't believe in perfection.
I don't believe in Santa.
I don't believe in genius'.
Now that i know more about life,
