This Poor old Man

The writing wasn't that much different. Except the for the old man. it the reading it says the old man seat outside by the electric pole, but in the reading they have him in the cafe in the corner by the window.There was other little thing the video missed or skipped. The video shows the mood and the feels of everything that's going on around them. Well the reading piece didn't let it show at come out at you.

Also in the reading you couldn't see the emotions in their eyes and body language. But in the movie you could really see who was mad, sad, or depressed.In both the written piece and video, they both some how make it seem on anything that it converts to real life. They both also leave you with the same feelings. Feelings of kind of sadness. I thought of all the times I could of just waited and stopped but i kept wanting what I wanted. Both of these pieces care out the same act on me. did they do the same to you? if so what did you feel?  

I didn't like it how they made the lighting and the movement of the movie and i like how I could see everything that was going on around the text.

a clean, well -lighted place

Write a brief analysis of the two waiters.  What do they represent about life? What does the café symbolize?

one of the waiters are not in a hurry to get out out of the cafe and doesn't care how long the man stays. but the young waiter doesn't. he doesn't want to wait for the old man. i think the waiters represent how some people have time to spare and then some that do but can't wait for others. then that how in the past it was a lot different from now. now every one wants what they want. 

I think the cafe stands for the center point of everything and cafes are clam and nice areas. So they could make it seem like in the nicest and calmest place there is still stress and madness inbetween people. 

At Any Moment

Unbroken

Authors note: The rough and tough life from a thief, to a mad man runner, to the air of war. Can Louie survive death at its fullest it the deep, dark, shark infested Pacific Ocean.

How would you survive in war and life? How would you feel if you were the one that was watching out for 8 other men that your plane held? [1]There was around four hundred thousand soles ( lives ) taken during World War II. Unbroken is a true story of survival and shows how everything can be taken away at any moment.

 In the beginning Louie Zamperini grew up being a really sneaky kid. Pulse he was growing up during the great depression. Louie stole many things from neighbors and got away with it because of his sneakiness. But got in plenty of trouble with his parents and with the law. Even getting so sick of people, his friend and Louie ran away from home and hopped on a train and went to the west, till they turned back for home because they missed their families greatly.

After a while, Louie found what he really had in him. The thing he found was his speed. He was so fast and great at running he broke school records like they were nothing. Louie even went to the Olympics for his running right before Hitler started his march across Europe.    

Everything turned when he heard of the Olympics where going to get canceled. Louie got out of shape and couldn’t run far for a good time anymore. But there was a answer. He heard that the Air Force needed men. The turning point really came after his crew got shot up and the men that could still fight were transferred to a different flying squad with a different plane. The mission was to search the pacific for a downed plane and its crew, but Louie and his crew get stuck in the middle and have to fight to survival in the deadly Pacific.

As you can see everything can be good one second, then the next there is chaos. Just because this happened in a wars doesn’t mean anything. But don’t think that ways because you see it every time you watch the news, a shooting here, a shooting there, fatal car crashes, and fatal fires. Everyday could be your last, so live it up to the max.

story of survival

Unbroken

Authors note: The rough and tough life from a thief, to a mad man runner, to the air of war. Can Louie survive death at its fullest it the deep, dark, shark infested Pacific Ocean.

How would you survive in war and life? How would you feel if you were the one that was watching out for 8 other men that your plane held? [1]There was around four hundred thousand soles ( lives ) taken during World War II. Unbroken is a true story of survival, so now unbroken is my favorite books.

One second you can have everything and the next it could be all gone. That is what the author and the book want to get out to the reader. Louie was a  track star and icon to his home town. But it all changed. As soon as the “crab hits the fan” for his crew and him.

                                                   

There have been many raft bound men in wars. Most get lost and die off or some get found. But most fought through death and live to tell to story of real survival.   Surrounded by sharks and the scorching sun. there are the point from going insane. First you will forget everything in the real world, then starvation, then you start thinking of  cannibalism because of your hunger. After that Louie says “I couldn’t think of the idea, because I could never live with that”.

What would you do if you got into the position Louie and his crew got into? God threw them all a really big curve ball in life. But if you want to know what a thriller Unbroken is and if you read it all I bet you will tell your friends about it and it will become your favorite book.

figurative language piece

Dreams
By Langston Hughes

Hold fast to dream For if dreams die     -   Simile. This means that if a you don’t fallow your dream you will not achieve it and you will forget about it

Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly.       -    Metaphor. Life is not easy, there is going to be hard ships in it but you have to get up from them and rise above everything 

Hold fast to dreams when dreams go     - Metaphor. this means if you let a dream go it means you stopped fallowing it and let it leave you. 

Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.            -    Metaphor. It means life maybe easy but there will be hard spots in it.  

Dreams

Authors note: Dreams is a poem that was to do with life and the dreams you set in it.

Although same people may make life look easy and smooth. Even though life isn’t not. Same people dream big, some dream small, and same don’t even dream at all. But you have to dream to get over those bumps and cracks that life sets in front of you. Dreams that may or may not happen. I am not talk about the dreams you have in your sleep, but the dreams that you live every day. That is what the author, Langston Hughes wants to get over to the reader. Including  The aspect of life as it lives. I think this poem describes life in a negative and positive aspect.

In “Dreams” the text is using figurative language to describe life with a dramatic and depressing see on life. Like in the saying “Life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly,” describes the hurt there is in life and the dreams you set in it. It also adds despair in the poem to make it pop out at you.

In addition it adds pains and suffering in to the poem. The author made the poem clear on what his or hers aspect on dreams come out into open sight to describe feelings. But dreams may touch on a lot to some people but little to others. The author hides a lot of feeling in the poem too. Like the saying “Life is a barren field frozen with snow,” can speak for many thing. Be I think the author is trying to say life may be soft and plain but there are going to be spots were you get cold and freeze from what you want to accomplish in the dreams you set.

Even though this figurative language puts tone in this piece, but also makes the reader feel what the writer is trying to get over to the reader. For example, it make you feel sad, but at the same time it want you to push to your limits.  But there was some language that wasn’t as powerful. Like “Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die” and “ hold fast to dreams for if dreams go” may have a impact on some but not to me. But throw out this poem it made me feel different in the mood aspect.

In conclusion, “dreams” made me feel how the poem wanted me to. The feeling of sadness and the harsh of life as we know it feeling in this poem. You may be able to dream and dream with others but only you can make those dreams come true. Every one dreams one way or another. So in that case what is one or a couple of your dreams?  

re do Point of View

Football Champ

Authors note: Football Hero is about a 12 year old that has a talent for football. It is in his amazing mind and he can play like a pro.

How could you get out of the knot Troy is in? Troy the main character is persevering to be like Seth. Troy is the genius in football. He can see the plays of the other team so the Falcons can go right to the ball. But there is a turning point in it and it could end everything Troy and Seth’s careers. And they are out to tell the truth, unlike the reporter that may just end their careers in the NFL. Troy puts a picture in the readers mind as the story keeps going.

Mainly it seems it is told in the point of view of Troy. It is told in many perspectives. Like there are sense it is told by the enemy, Peel the reporter that switched the words of troy to his own to make Troy, his family, and Seth hated by other people. But Troy’s friends have his back the whole way. Troy’s friends are Tate and Nathan are out to prove they aren’t bad but to prove Peel is the bad one in it all. Throughout the book you start to notice that everything you wish for can change in seconds.

Although it is written in the point of view of Troy. So it makes you feel like they didn’t do anything to deserve it. But there was  reason. Seth ended Peels football career in college. So Peel wants to end Seth’s. feelings and actions of everyone is sad, mad, and wanting to redeem themselves. Troy and his friends Tate and Nathan helped Seth. In chapters fifty to fifty – seven are the way they helped Seth clearer his name for using steroids and other preferment’s  enhancing Drugs.  Are when Peel wanted to know how the Falcons where doing so good but they never told him it was because of a football genius. 

In addition, the events would be a lot different if it was written in Peel’s or anyone else that wants to take down Troy and all them. For the scene of them getting the doctor to confess about lying about Seth used steroids. If was told by the doctor he would have been shocked or nervous. He would of thought of Peel as a enemy too, because Peel threatened the doctor. Then the doctor found out that is was to cleaner Seth’s name he got mad and almost got the proof.

Another is if Peel was telling the story. If Peel was everything would get flipped. Peel’s enemy would be Seth. The reason why would be because Seth ended Peels football career in college. So Peel wants to end Seth’s career. But with troy there he can’t complete his task. So Peel starts lying about Troy.

In conclusion it is a great book. This book you will never want to put down because it keeps leading you and keeps you guessing. How could anyone get out of the knot Troy is in? That is the question that got in my head when I was reading this book. Troy put a picture in my head when I was reading it  but will it put one in you?  

Creative Piece - My Favorite Sport

My Favorite Sport

  

Could it be the most brutal sport?  How can we protect the youth from concussions? That is the question that everyone is asking themselves today. It is probably the biggest populated sport Pewaukee guys play today. I’m talking about Football. I find it the most fun and adrenalin pumping sport I have ever played. Just to get the feeling you get from it. The wind going through your helmet as you run down the field well you know you can change the outcome of the game by something you do.  

There are many sports you can play but I find football to be the best. I play baseball, basketball, track, and football. But football brings the man out of  boy. It is a punishing, till you die sport. It teaches you discipline, mental and physical toughness. That’s why I love it so much.

The feeling for power and energy makes you feel like you are unstoppable till you meet your enemy at the line of scrimmage. There are good teams than the team that don't win but works as a team. The team I play on is neither. We only depend on one player. But I don’t like that get to me, to think that I have to do nothing for my team.              

Almost no one tries that’s why we don't win. A team that wins works together, works hard till the end and never depends on one person. You can’t accomplish anything if you don’t try hard or work hard. Do you think all famous people just got that job or do you think they earned it?

There are many thing people try to talk you down and you might fell at first but you get back up and soon enough you stay standing. Will you follow only  you and not others? Or will you be the follower for the rest of your life? Only you can make that decision.
