Honduras:

Great producer, great exporter
bananas, shrimps, clams, melons.
Big dreamers, big fighters
that work hard to overcome themselves.
Fantastic coasts and amazing beaches
with one of the worlds most extravagant coral reefs.

Some say making it through the day is tough without getting mugged; it is true fore most of the people have been mugged more than twice.
Others say getting home alive is an everyday adventure to face
i say yes; hence the newspaper is only filled with daily numerous murders of innocent people.
They also say that politicians are here to cause us more poverty and suffering instead of mending our troubles; this is so true since they are only known to steal the countries money and put it in their pockets.

And having answered so i turn once more to those who sneer as this my city, and i give them back the sneer and say to them:
Come and allow me to look at another country with as much beauty as mine.
Filled with exotic people that are proud of their accomplishments,
that give it all to get more and make their Honduras heaven on Earth.

Roughneck as a hurricane, demanding for people's all, giving life at what it can give.
Demanding
unyielding
unwavering
destructive, violent, rough
Below the poverty revolving its cities, it shines with its proud people
Below the ignorance of most uneducated people, it shines with the smiles of its children
shining for everything that it can give,
knowing that someday it will reach its peak,
it shines!
 Great producer, great exporter

Claire

Claire paced across the crowded hallway on this first day of school. She peeked rapidly to her left, and then to her right. Then, she cut through and mixed with the throng of students. Was anyone paying any attention to her? Although she craved to glance at her surroundings, she continued to stare straight ahead. However, it appeared that none of her classmates noticed as they trotted quickly to their classes.

Just because poem

Just Because

Just because I like to have fun

Does not mean that I can’t control myself

Or that I am stupid

Just because I get lazy

Does not mean I do not care for my responsibilities

Just because I am young

Does not mean that I do not know what I want

Or that you know more than I do

Just because I do not speak my mind

Does not mean I do not have feelings

That I do not notice things

That I agree with everything

That I am not confident

That I do not have a voice

The Strange Traveller

Jean Valjean

A new day and new things to face. I had just woken up and God I felt awful! The party last night was tremendous, and definitely I was hung over. Well my sister seemed to be feeling worse, or would feel worse. She was just lying on the floor. I decided to go get something to eat. My family was already up; I could listen to my mother fixing the kitchen and my father’s on the phone. As I went in the kitchen, apparently my mom knew what my sister had bin u to last night. She had a big breakfast for us so we could feel better. I then decided to go and watch some television, but apparently that would ot be possible. I was about to sit down on the couch with my breakfast, I looked over and saw this awfully dressed, dirty man sleeping on my couch! My immediate reaction was to start screaming and running around to my father’s, but the saddest part was that I threw my breakfast and it was completely ruined. It was definitely a new day and new things had to be faced.

When my hysterical yells got to my father, mother and my passed out sister, they all came running to see what was going on. My sister saw that man and she freaked out as well. My mother just told us to stop screaming and led us to the kitchen. My father went to say something to the man who was pretty embarrassed by my reaction. When my father finally came to the kitchen, he sat down and explained to us why this man was here. We said that his name was Jean Valjean and needed a place to stay, so he gave it to him. A friend named Ronny told me who this man was; he was just freed from jail. No wonder he had such a dreadful aspect. My sister and I definitely did not want this ex-c0nvict to be staying at our house, but father said that we had to be good people and not judge him for that; he deserved to be treated as a person. Well he was right on some part.

It was noon, and we all got together to have lunch. My sister and I were still uncomfortable with that man sitting with us at the table. As my father started conversation with Jean Valjean, I understood that he was not a bad man; he was incarcerated by a decision that he made to sustain his family. Poor man went to jail for 19 years just for stealing bread. He was not evil. I thought that he was a murderer, but Jean Valjean seemed like a good hearted man. He began to tell us how he was so grateful with my father because no one wanted to give him shelter or food just for who he was. He was not that well mannered, but deep down in his heart, he showed that he was a good hearted man and wanted to remake his life.

When we finished lunch, I took my father aside and spoke to him about Jean Valjean in private. Admitting to him that he was right and that Jean Valjean deserved a second chance was hard, but has to be done. I told my father that I would like Jean to work for us. He could be of great help around the house and we could give him food and shelter. My father thought it was a great idea and went to speak with Jean about this.

My sister and I waited anxiously for Jean’s decision if he was to stay or to go. As my father came in the room, his face expressed disappointment. My father offered Jean Valjean the job, but he denied it. Jean said that he wanted to remake his life in a new place and doing that here would be pretty hard; everyone already new about him and his past. My father decided to give him some money to make it to a new lace. Jean accepted it and with much sadness said how grateful he was with our family and would never forget us. He then said good bye, and never saw him ever again. That was my story with Jean Valjean.

Prejudice in Favor of New England

Summary: In this letter, John Adams tells Abigail Adams how the world humans live in is tied to social relationships. He also tells her how out of all the colonies, New England is the best one of them all. This is because people there are purer english people and are not mixed with other cultures such as the irish cultures. Also because New England enforces grammar schools for the young people and they also support religion and morals very much in difference from other colonies. They also provide many jobs for the people and prove that they can put their knowledge to work. Unfortunately, even though they have all of these things, as they are only a colony, they are still exploited by the governors of the country.

Rhetorical Devices:

Appeal to reason: "The poeple are purer English Blood, less mixed with Scotch, Irish, Dutch, French, Danish, Sweedish, etc., than any other; and descended from englishmen too who left Euorpe, in purer times that the present and less tainted with corruption than those they left behind them." (John Adams 681)

                  This quotes shows appeal to reason, bevause John Adams says how New England is a better colony than the rest. With this quotes he says how english are pyrer peole than the ones in other colonies, and this makes the reader think how this is actually a reason for them to be better.

Persuasion: "The public institutions in New England for the Education of Youth, supporting colledges at the public expense and obliging Towns to maintain grammar schools, is not equalled and never was in any part of the world." (John Adams 681)

                 This quotes shows persuasion, because John is talking about how education is not equal all over the world. This quote makes the reader feel like this should change and there should be equal education for the youth no matter where.

Refuting Patrick Henry

What is it that we have always believed in? This is a simple answer; God. He has taught us everything that we are. He is who has given us everything that we are, our parents, our goods, and the power to fight for what we want. Now, there comes this common man, who thinks that what he says is what right and is what should be done. Who is this Patrick Henry to come and tell us what we are supposed to do in order to live happy? Who does he think he is to come and change what we believe in? Yes, we all want one thing in common; freedom, but what he wants in order to obtain it is just atrocious. Ever since the history of time, we have been held in God’s hands, and he has taught us things that we have followed and respected. For example, he has said that we have to value life as a gift, and we are no one to be taking it away. How is it possible that after all the blood that has been shed, this man wants more lives to be taken?! There has been enough war already and it needs to stop. Patrick Henry is acting just as all those bloodthirsty British pigs. If we want liberty, we need to act as the bigger people here and do it in a civilized manner. By making revolts we are just making the situation worse for us because the British army will just react in a more violent way. Patrick Henry has just been fooling you and does not let you see, he is the one making us blind. Henry tells us that it is better to die than to be prisoners, but we all know this is not true. We all prefer to be alive. This man also says how after all the petitions we have made; the British still do not listen, and yes it is true, but his reactions to all of this result in violence that is just embarrassing. He makes it seem as if all of the colonists want freedom and will take war as the only option. This man is just making our situation here worse than ever. People, we need to stay civilized. We need to keep on protesting and protesting. We need to continue this and never stop, do it until a point where it becomes so annoying that something will be done about it. I just ask you to please rethink your options and take the wiser one; think about what God would want you to do. God bless America!
