Just Because Poem

Just because I am small,
doesn´t mean I can´t be bigger than you.
Just because I am small,
doesn´t mean I am not tall, in my own ways
in other things.
Just because I am small,
doesn´t mean I am not the age I have,
doesn´t mean I am not mature enough
and doesn´t mean your better than me;
Just because you are tall as a tree
"Like you I want to be". 
If just because I am small
doesn´t mean I am not happy
with how I am,
if I know that for me
 their is no better than what I am.

Germy Land

 Leader and his "soldiers"
Once upon a time their was a mini germ society that lived inside a body. Thousands and thousands of germs lived their. The biggest and the most powerful germ of all was their leader, called "Enit".Enit was the biggest and his disease was spread the most through out the body and he never died. . Enit had a name for everyone in their beloved town. He was the the father of all. He named Juanita, Joaquin, George, but most of them began with J and he every once in a while until that germ died, he chose one to be his right hand. He told everyone what to do, how to live and their purpose of their living which was the disease they spread. It was like a communist government; everything that Enit said had to be done and if someone did not obey him, his or her disease could not be spread inside that humans body, which killed the germ because their disease needs to be a part of the systems´s body for their existence. So,everything they needed for their survival was communicated by Enit but as well among their selves. They needed to help each other in their disease spreading. Enit was a really good leader and everybody liked him; at least no one had any complaints because they were all used to live upon Enit´s rules and custody but one day a new germ called Rae which came  from another body which had a complete different way of living began to complain. Rae said that it was not fair for every germ to be manipulated by one self-centered germ who thought was had the right to feel superior upon the rest of the germs. So, Enit did not have any clue of what he could do because he never had trouble with his "soldiers" as he called them. He thought and thought about what to do but he could not do it by himself and his right hand was about to die. He was devastated but he thought that his people somehow would be dispuestos to help him but he was facing a really bad situation. Everybody realized what Re said was the real truth and was the solution for their low population rates, even though nobody ever cared about it until now because they just lived for their-selves and for their survival in the society. So all the germs turned against Enit and they decided to do something that was good for everyone their including Enit. They came up with an exile instead of an execution which benefited Enit entirely just for the fact that nobody wants to get killed, and so indeed, the rest of the germs lived happily every after in their human body spreading their diseases the way they wanted to without any orders and restraints and with equality among everybody. And so Rae turned out to be the real leader but just without the need of being called  "the leader" and letting everybody do what they pleased; the most important from him was to teach that a real germ leader was the most loved and the most appreciated by everybody, even NEW GERMS.

blog #5 the strange traveller

The day I met this man, Jean Valjean, a normal day in which I was just having dinner with my family at my precious home after a long day of work and then suddenly a knock on our front door was heard from my oldest son. Me and my wife went to open the door and their he was, a homeless man who looked so bad with his dirty and ripped clothes. We felt awful watching a man like this asking if we could give him any housing. We were doubtful because we did not know who this man was, he might have been an assasin or a stealer but stillwe had a little of compassion and that poor man seemed so harmless, so we let him come in.

When the man came in, we gave him some bread and some clean clothes. He did not even say "thank you" and at the dinner table, he did not led a word out of his mouth. Later on my oldest son came back to me again and asked me why that man was in our house, so I told him that we cannot be like that cruel people which did not gave help to anyone, that were very mean and that they only connected with someone for some kind of interest, for somthing that person might provide. But my son told me, It is not about that what I am talking about father, this man is an ex-convict, we will get in big trouble if we do not get him out of this house right now. I did not know if what my son was telling me was the truth, I believed in him but if I did not know that, how would he know.

 I went and called a friend that propably knew who this man was, meanwhile my wife was still with the homeless in our dinning table. My friend told me this man, was called jean valjean and he was an ex convict, that had been in jail for 19 years approximately and he had escaped like 5 times and if I kept him in my house, the minister or government will put me and my family in big trouble. I was nervous because their was no way I could know how this man was going to react, so what I first did was to call upon my wife, and tell her. But that was a mistake, because the first thing she did after freaking out she just went directly to the man, took the clothes we lended and the little bread left from him, and kicked him out of the house. He knew why we had kicked him out, he said he just did not say anything because he knew that was exactly what was going to happen. I felt so bad for this guy, but still we could not hold him with us and let him stay. Even though I wanted to help him, I could not. I could not for my own saftey.

Abigail Adams to John Adams (Classical Parallels)

This letter, from abigail adams to his husband, john adams is just talking about how she misses him. That she is very worried about him and that she cannot think of anything else but about him and whatever horrority that could happen to him on his work as delegate. She also tells him about their friend Mrs. Warren and how she gives to him the best wishes as friend and patriot. Another thing she says is that one of the only things that distracts her is reading "Rolling´s acient history" and that she has fun reading it with their son, Johnny. At last she taks to him about how weather has been and how much she wants to hear from him; that she and their son miss him and give him blessings.


Rethorical Divices:

1. Emotion: "the great anxiety I feel for my country, for you and for our family renders the day tedious, and the night unpleasent."(Abigail Adams 676)
This quote is stating what the whole letter is about. Of how she feels being with her family but without his husband, how she misses him and how she is worried about him and  worried about the country and how he is going to help it.

2. Restatement: "I am determined to go thro  with it if possible in these my days of solitude."(Abigail Adams 676)
This quote is important to the entire letter because she repeats her self a couple of times of how she misses him and that she feels lonely so she needs to do what she can to get her mind off that for a while.

Blog #4 Refusing Patrick Henry

Mr. President: In a refutable but in a respectful manner of what Mr. Henry said  in his previous speech, we the British have no problem for them trying to fight against us for their “freedom”, they really know that there is no freedom to be gained because no colonist has his own freedom to display. The real truth here is that the colonists relay on us and even though they don´t want to accept it and they thinking that we are taking their freedom, it is not true. How do they think they are going to live your lives without us, without our power and our government controlling them? There is no war to be held and their should be a reconciliation among us, bringing us together to work this out together because we are not here to oppress the colonists, we just want to help them; are we the ones who want to continue with this temporarily war? The colonist should trust on us, and believe their petitions will somehow be made. Our ministry will give them the hope they ask for so they do not say more of it. We are not going to try to oppress them anymore and we will not consider them our enemies, and we know a war has been coming between us but don´t we want to stop it as well? We will free them out of the chains of liberty they say we have held them from but we won´t also free them from the union we both should take. We are listening and we will listen to their arguments and to every opposition they make to us. Is it time for both to change? We recognize the mistakes we have made in the past and we understand them feeling oppressed but none of this will continue happening. War is not the solution for the colonists, because a war being held will be in favor for us and there is no way this problem between us is going to stop and don´t you think all of us including you sir with al respect, are tired of this too, even though we shut our mouths? Sir, I want you to understand that being in the position which the colonists are is of becoming reckless and of no hope but to become wild and create war, do we want ten more years of it? It is not of a human being treating another as a slave and letting it supplicate for freedom, we are all the same, is their a better way to understand this? We should stop this sir, stop the conflict and forgive each other and forget of the idea of creating this war. The colonists are as strong as us, and we united will be the best partners because of all this time dealing with each other. For the colonists, if they accept my solutions for this conflict, we both will sacrifice the same things; we will unite the same way with everyone, have the same respect with everyone among us and forgive each other for everything to live in an equal place for every one among us.

Plan to change the world blog #3

In these moments we are living in, the world is a place where the majority of the people with big problems like economic problems, are not happy with how their lives are in the country they are living in. So the idea being purposed today is to persuade this people, mostly of Central America, of not leaving to the United States specifically, as migrants and then stay their illegally. This idea is for these people to understand that going to the United States is not going to make a better life for them. Their are so many problems given because of this. What these people need to do to get to the U.S. is to first cross the borders from their country to the country next to them illegally until they get to Mexico and then they need to do the same to get to the U.S. They cross borders illegally and so, what it is that has been taken out of this is that in the borders, in the process of doing all these, many gangs and drug trafficking or any kind of drug dealers have been around and so people are getting killed. This is not really what they want but they are so desperate of getting out of their country they risk themselves doing this, but they should understand that it is going to be better for them and for their children if they are with any, to stay in their own country even though they have issues, because this issues will become bigger, extremely bigger in the U.S. Being their illegally is their first problem, trying to get away from the government without any notice that they are living their as illegal immigrants. The other problem is they think they are going to be living better economically but they do not realize that it is going to be harder and tougher for them to get a good job their, that will maintain them the same way or better then in their country. If these people have any children it would be so much difficult for them to put them on a good school in the U.S. instead of just putting them in a public school on their country. If these people continue on doing this, then more people will be killed and more people will live their lives miserably and the worst is that the world will continue to be a bad and non safe place. So, what should be made for this problem to stop is for this people to have more opportunities of better jobs, with a better living in their own country but, how can this be made? Well, the government should give more resources to the poor people in their country so that they are comfortable with the way they live and after doing all these thing that will change not only the persons life but the entire country, if there is a small amount of people that are still trying to live the country, they should do what is possible to not let them for the sake of the country and for the sake of these unsatisfied citizens.

Blog #2 Captivity Narrative

Prisioner
fc.barcelona.com/es/el_club/palmares

 In august of 2015 I, playing with Madrid were playing against Barcelona and they were winning and then I came and almost make a goal but it did not happen, but after the game, the coach of Barcelona´s team, Josep Guardiola came to me and took me captive with them. He said that it was dangerous for them or any other team playing against Real Madrid and me being their able to make any goal or any good plays making them loose and even though I did not like this, he was telling the very and ultimate truth. I was taken away from my beloved team in which I have been from more than 5 years and been humiliated by my rival and enemies of forever. I was taken to the city of Barcelona and being housed in the Camp Nou but it was not that bad because they took me to a room with plasma and a delicious and very comftrable bed and couthes with a little kitchen, like apartment without having to pay the rent and every day they brought me food to fill on my kitchen, the problem was that they made me watch every tape they had of their important wins like the UEFA championship final against arsenal in 2006 or in 2009 against Manchester United; also the twenty five times they have won the Copa Del Rey or the 3 times they won the European Cup and so on, even every  game they have won against us in the history of the two clubs. Their was when I realized why the best players in the world were and are in that team, even though at that time I thought I was the best of all. At the beggining I did not even wanted to look at any of their faces because I had a big hate on them and I was hoping that one day my team mates will miss me or realize that they need me on their team because they are so jealous of me that they cannot accept the fact of me being the star of their team.but day after day I was getting more used to it and I realized that the team members such as Lionel Messi or Carles Puyol were very nice people and were very good as in their normal lives, as in football players with their team mates. Even thought we were rivals, and I may admite that I am very competitive I saw that this even was a better team than mine and that this was not that bad because they were treating me like one of them. Eventually, they began letting me go to see their practices and their games live which I enjoyed a lot and I felt like I was already a member of their team and I had forgetten of my team. 2 months had already passed and I did not really had the necessity to go back with my team even though I wanted my normal life back and I asked for it, and they told me that it was already time to tell the truth. That they had taken me captive because Pellegrini, my coach asked Guardiola to take me for a while and teach me how the real football was. That it is now only me on the field, that their is eeven of us and that we need to play as a team together and also that when I tried "joga bonita" I mess up a lot of important plays that could take us to an important goal, and I learned my lesson and even though all that spending time with Barcelona, feeling like a member of their team and wishing to hav been on that team on the first place, I would go to my real team and change every single mistake I have made and try to become a better player, trying to beat Messi, even though I knew it was going to be very difficult and it has been and I really don´t think I can become better than him, now I accept and may say that he is really the best but I don´t loose nothing on trying.

Blog post #1

A CNN report of the current event on this article, about the misery of the floodings in pakistan making people sick. Almost a million pakistanis had gotten illnesses and a big number of other diseases such as scabies, diarrhea,repiratory infections and malaria and approximately 1500 people had died in the floods. The article gives enough information to us about the floods and the approximate numbers of the people dying and getting sick from it, their are no problems with the article. The report is well written and has enough information yet their is no bias from the person or people who wrote about the article. Their is nothing about the event left out in the article, everything about it is told to us and it even has more details that helps us understand what this people are going through. My opinion of the article is that all this people need help and it is an entire country suffering this so someone like in the article is said, that the prime minister is asking for help to health officals and the U.N. agencies,should do something to try to stop this because this is affecting a whole country and this country needs him.
