The worst or saddest part of animal farm is a bit hard to say. It would be a three way tie I think between Snowball being run out, Boxer and his end, the seven commandments. Snowball's story sure is a sad one him working so hard for the farm only to be run out and blamed for bad things happening. Boxer worked possibly the hardest for Animal farm and what did get for death in the end.
The seven commandments at first were at first thought up by what Old Major said. I think a major turning point was reach when the rule about killing was changed then they were no better than humans in my mind. In the end the last change I think is the saddest "All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others" that's pretty much the same as saying all animals aren't equal. Would you believe I wrote this entire thing while listening to Across the Universe "nothin's gonna change my world.....nothin's gonna change my world......"

Freewrite/Insight: Animal Farm
Well I don't really like animal farm that much so not much to say about it. But it does give some in sight as to what some body is willing to do to stay in power. Weather it was running Snowball off the farm or blaming him for crimes he didn't commit. Or even braking what I consider one the the most important rule never kill another animal.
I also sort of like Boxer as a charter he also makes sad. His first motto is "I will work harder" this is good in the beginning he is a true believe in animal farm. He listen to and believes the pigs but this is also his undoing he believes there lies and continues to work harder. I believe Communism is good when it works trouble is it never has there's always been some greedy son of a-

What I expect to get out of high school
I expect to get a basic education that much is for sure. A high school diploma would be nice. 3.7 GPA or higher that's a prediction. hopefully a chance to go to collage.
These next 4 I don't what my expectations are. I really don't know about learning either and I certainly don't know about what I'm going to do. Some might say I don't have plan but I do it's just a bit sketchy on the details.

The peace of wild things by Wendell Berry
I think this poem is about: The first part is about lying awake at night in fear of the future. Seems like a valid point considering the state of the economy. The secound and last part is about finding peace and just not worrying about it. Maybe there's some greater meaning but if so I'm missin' it.
As for getting ready for the classroom competition I'll just keep practicing saying my poem. I don't know how well I'll do. Probably not first any way. hhhmmm maybe in the top 10 though. That is my prediction now let me alone.

The road not taken
I've chosen the road not taken as the poem I'm going to write about. From the surface it appears to be about the author choose of a path to talk. metaphorically speaking it speaks of paths in life that one can choose. the author said "I took the one less traveled by" and wondered if he choose the right one.
I unlike the author had no choose in road I took and still do. Though my road is far from pristine I still travel it day after day. I look for away of this road but I don't see anyway. The road is paroles and presents many challenges I must face for there's no going back. Only forwards I say no looking for there must a way of this track.

The court room
So the scene I've selected is the court room and all that presides in it. Starting with the acting and actors I think that most of the actors did a good job . All though Atticus never did show more of his human side. Another problem I had was with Mayella it was described that she was a think bodied girl accustom to labor that to me didn't describe the actor at all.
And so it is we get to the set. It really wasn't described or described well in the book with only whites at ground level and blacks on the balcony. That much I pictured I didn't tho a that the balcony was so curved and that the floor was so colored. I pictured more a straight line across the balcony and the whole court room and floor being a lot bigger and more spacious.

How This Book Changed My Life
I suppose To Kill A Mockingbird has made me more racily and stereotypically aware. For example when someone says that all terrorist are Muslim that clearly isn't wright. Same with assumption that Tom Robinson had done something wrong just because he was black and a white woman accused him of it. That and "A mob..."(156) came to lynch him on the night of his trial.
I also don't think it's ok not just for being prosecuted for being part of a gourp but that we should have to have such ideas in the first place. I've also be come more aware of my own stereotyps as well much as I'd like to say I don't have any. One the other hand this book hasn't really changed my life. I already knew most of what this book was about so it was more like just a story to me.
