On Wednesday of last week, I was introduced to a poem called "Richard Cory" by Edwin Arlington Robinson. When my teacher first read it to us, I thought that it would be a nice one where it had a happy ending, since it described Richard Cory as a perfect man. But once it got to the last line of the poem it had a twist to it. It went from happy to sad in just a flash.
Another thing that came up in mind was, that people who maybe read the poem or not would have related to it (maybe not physically but emotionally/mentally). Basically we build this person we what to be or what we want others to see. Which can end up in lies, and it can be exhausting to the point where you can't take it no more. Well these are my thoughts on the poem.

The digital divide

Digital divide : Def. gulf between those who have ready access to computers and the internet, and those who do not I do have access to a digital device and wifi. Using technology nowadays is very help like if you didn't understand what you teacher thought you you can search it up. And it's very easy to access since we have our own phones. Our data is neither private nor protected. On online if people research my name I won't have any bad things. All you'll see is baby pics, school , achievement etc. but referring to Snapchat that's a whole different story. Don't get it wrong I don't do illegal stuff or anything else. But you'll probably find me doing weird stuff like dumb funny stuff. Like any normal teen does like goofing around.

Emerson's Child

           These past few days we discussed Emerson's essay, I think I've got some ideas on how Emerson thinks, yet again I'm not him and these are my opinions. If Emerson would here to see the 2016 presidential election,  I think Emerson would view the presidential election like any of us quite confusing on how we ended up with such two candidates. "... God will not have his work made manifest by cowards." this quote means if any of those two candidates where to become president that he/she better do a good job in keeping the humanity safe because god didn't send his son for him just to be executed to save the world and then one of these two end up ruining it. And since one of them is going to become president we " must accept in the highest mind the same transcendent destiny; and not minors and invalids in a protected corner, not cowards fleeing before a revolution, but guides, redeemers, and benefactors, obeying the Almighty effort, and advancing on C

Questions pg. 148-158

"Don't judge a book by its cover" cliché thing to say, they considered themselves books  Montag still cares for Mildred since he her husband and feels sympathy towards her. I think the  author is showing us how montag is becoming more human like and how he is changing  The hands show the person personality. Meaning grangers grandfather is dead and mildread was lifeless, her hands wouldn't do a thing basically like grangers dead grandfather ( her hands didn't want to get " dirty" )  Granger told montag the story of his grandfather and how he did these things which many can do but not the way he used to do it ( it's not the same) 3 seconds was the time going slow in slow motion like in movies, but for me when I first read three seconds " all of the time in history " I automatically thought of it as, my life flashed before my eyes Phoniex , it would did in the flame of fire and  reincarnate but it wouldn't take in mind what he did w
