There once was a man,
Who lived in a can,
It wasn’t vey big,
Yet he owned a pig,
Until he cooked it in a pan.

I guess I knew this mouse,
Who lived in my house,
I put out some cheese,
To give him a squeeze,
But I didn’t know he had a spouse.

I was sentenced to court,
When I arrived at port,
When he slammed the hammer,
I was sent back to the slammer,
And never had to go back to court.

Dark turns into light
Bad doesn’t turn into good
Well doesn’t that suck.

The government really sucks,
They watch your every move,
They know all that you do.

Angry Guitar
The angry guitar,
Snapped its string,
So it didn’t have to listen.
So I replaced the thing,
Oh it made such a scene,
Going down with a fight,
You would believe I couldn’t win,
But it ended not so angrily,
And that was it.

My Pic
The pics that I use are unique all around.
They aren’t at work if you hear no sound.
I hold them tight,
To not give them flight.
They can come thick or thin,
It just depends on the mood I’m in.
Some appear to be clear,
Others enjoy to stare.
But whatever my need,
I’ll find one for me indeed.

Music


Beautiful, pleasing, interesting,
Created by voice or instrument.
It starts with an idea,
But ends in creativity.
It can be quiet,
It can be loud.
We can be soft,
Then again we can be heavy.
But which ever you like,
There’s many of us around.





Detention


I feel restrained,
These shackles have always remained.
I await the day,
That they will say,
You are finally free to go away.
Slam goes the hammer,
I must go back to the slammer.
I step out of the room,
I know they’re watching me,
But I can’t say hello or goodbye.
I hear the sound,
As the van comes around.
I arrive at my cell,
Which feels like hell.
Morning shift is at end.
My door flew open,
But I couldn’t believe,
It was my turn to leave.

I believe that the dominant theme of Hamlet is tragedy. Every action in the play leads to some ones death. Around every corner drama awaits. People betraying one another or even hiding the truth from the world. For example, Hamlets uncle kept to himself that he had murdered the king. Hamlet and a couple others didn’t speak of the ghost to anybody.

I believe the moral of the play is revenge isn’t the answer. Hamlet was told to seek revenge upon his uncle for the murder of his father, but in the end Hamlet dies as well as his uncle. Personally I believe judgment and consequence should be left up to God. The ghost was the one who told Hamlet to seek revenge. I believe that was not right.

The message I got from Hamlet was when you seek revenge upon someone watch out for your likely to have revenge sought upon yourself. For example, Hamlet killed Polonius who he mistook for his uncle. Then lead to Laertes, the son of Polonius wanting to seek revenge upon him for killing his father.

What is betrayal? I believe that betrayal is hard to explain. I would say it is kind’ve like being a traitor. I believe that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern did not betray Hamlet. They didn’t know that they were taking Hamlet to England where he was going to be assassinated. I think Ophelia will be very upset about hearing about her father’s murder. I believe that she will be pissed off when she finds that hamlet was responsible. How will Hamlet escape his assassination in England? I’m guessing that he will run away when he gets the chance or has one of the people that is transporting him let him go.

Headphones in School

I am all for allowing music in class. I believe this for three reasons. Music can help some people concentrate, it is entertaining, and it calms people down.

The first reason why I believe music should be allowed in class is it helps some people concentrate. For example, a lot of my friends and I focus a lot better on something while listening to music. It also helps me concentrate by taking the nerve off.

Next, I believe that music will entertain us in class when class gets boring. When your teacher gives you the assignment to do and he or she wants it done by the end of class its usually boring, so I feel it is more entertaining to do my school work while I listen to music.

Finally, my last reason I have is music can be calming. My sophomore year my welding teacher allowed us to listen to our music while we welded because it helped relieve the stress of it. You’re not as worried about making a mistake because you’re listening to something you enjoy.

I am open for compromise. For example, I’d be okay with allowing only one head phone in with the volume at a level that only you can hear it. I would be just fine with not allowing music in gym class for people wouldn’t get involved in activity because they don’t want their music broken.

In conclusion I am all for allowing music in class for it can help some people concentrate, it will make class more entertaining, and it can be calming. As I stated I am open for compromise. These are the reasons why I believe that music should be allowed in class.

Music

The type of music I listen to is heavy metal. I love the guitar in heavy metal because there is a lot of it, and it is played at a fast and heavy pace. In my opinion the thing that makes music suck is if it doesn’t sound good. For example, if the rhythm of your guitar doesn’t resemble the rhythm of your bass, drums, or vocals, it will sound off beat and off tune. Also, I feel that music that doesn’t make any sense sucks. Does genre matter? I believe genre does matter because it helps in organizing music. For me it is a lot easier to say which genre of music I like rather than name a whole bunch of bands until the other person gets a feel for what I like. There isn’t a genre out there that I believe shouldn’t be respected. Every genre of music is appreciated by someone, and I don’t like it when someone harps on me because of what I listen to which is why I don’t harp on others for what they listen to.

How long should someone grieve after a loved one death? I believe it would depend on who you are. Everybody is different, so I personally do not put a time limit on how long someone should grieve after a loved ones death. Especially when you realize the relationship they had between another.

If my father died I wouldn’t expect her to remarry. If she did plan on remarrying I would say she should wait till she was ready for it. I feel that because it is her life, and not mine, she should remarry if she is wants to and is doing it for good reasons. But yes, I would be upset if she got remarried within six months of his death because that would, in a way, show me that she didn’t really love or care about dad as much as she said.
