Robert Frost uses an allusion of garden of Eden. This garden of Eden represents how the perfect nature sinks and disappears, because of many things; this event is just like how Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, and things started going down the hill..

There is an alliteration of a h sound in line 2. This sound makes readers feel the sighs, and the suffering from nature trying to hold on to the hue of mother nature.
There is an alliteration of the d sound in line 7. The sound of the letter d conjures a thought about time, because the sound of seconds crawling by is similar to the d sound.
Summary of the “Bill of Rights”:
The bill of rights is basically a list of rights and laws. It is the list of can dos and can’t dos.
The list contains things on freedom on religion, speech press, and so on. In the right for religion it talks about how the congress or Governor can not support or go against any religions. In the right for speech it is said that people can say “NO” to things that are unfair or not right. We also have the right to protest about the president if he is not doing a great job. In the right for press it basically means we have the right to say anything we want on the newspaper. These are the most important things on the bill of rights most people should know.

Hughes quoted that “crystal Stairs” is a metaphor for an idealized lifestyle. The crystal Stairs is like a smooth and clean stair case that has no flaws. It is it has carpet that will protect your feet from pit falls of life. These stairs are trying to show us all how much our own stairs filled with flaws.
The quote, “ stinks like rotten meat” that as the dream is differed. The author of this poem, Langston Hugues is trying to create an olfactory image saying that the dream will start to smell bad as time goes by.
In the quote, “explode” .Hughes is make the reader think that if the dream is marooned by the creator it would explode. This means that there would be a a strong auditory imagery of violent explosions.
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night/ Went home and stuck a bullet in his head.
-Richard Cory Edwin Arlington Robinson
Dream deferred
What happens to a dream when deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
and then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a sugary syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
-Langston Hughes

Monday’s HW summary of the courts.
Criminal Case: A criminal case is when there is a police or a persecutor against the defensive [defendant] or the person that is called guilty. In this kind of court it can also be judgement against unanimous when 12/12 people must agree in order for the person to be guilty or innocent.
Civil Case: A civil case is when it is a one on one case, or the formal way plaintiff against defendant. This is when it is a damaged person against the person that is accused for attacking the plaintiff. In this court it can also be fought as a Judgement against preponderance of evidence during this court the majority of the votes (5/9) will decide who is guilty or not.
The Double Jeopardy law: The double jeopardy law is when you can not be accused for the same case. In other words it means that you can be tried for a case once, once and that is it.
Class action lawsuit: A Class Action Lawsuit is when it is many plaintiffs are against one defendant. This is when a company like Tobacco company sells their cigars on TV, which makes many kids want to smoke, and also makes many people addicted to it. With this many people would start suing the company for damaging their lungs or liver. So the people are suing but they ALL need a lawyer. For the whole people there is just one lawyer, but let’s say that all the people were really poor from buying the cigars, if they can’t afford how would they pay? This is how they would pay they would say e will pay an contingency fee of n% of our money we make from this case. And that's how the money comes into the lawyer’s hands. Not ours.
Compensatory Damages: Compensatory damage there is an actual damage suffered as in cancer from some medicine or some addict. With this the company will go through what we call an actual money loss.
Punitive damages: A punitive damage is when the company makes a big mistake on some costumer. With this the customer suffers from something and sues the company for the suffrage. The company will probably just need to pay couple millions of dollars, which would be like change for them. The court knows that it is not much for them so in order to punish them they make it big amounts of money that will really effect them. So they make the company pay, the money all goes to the plaintiff just to punish the company for their flaw.

Good job!
In many places you say “this is when...” Try writing instead “this is a situation in which....” Using “in which” is much more advanced form of saying the same thing. You can replace the word “situation” with any other appropriate word, like “case, place, event, etc.”

The imagery “fester like a sore” is trying to make the reader picture how the dream will start to rot and ooze.
This imagery helps the meaning of how the dream will start to decay in your head or other dreams.
The quote “raisin in the sun” is trying to explain about what would happen to the dream while it was stowed away.
This imagery helps the meaning of how the dream will lead to a suffocating and dry feeling.
The quote “he fluttered pulses” means that he was like a celebrity that made everybody feel good even in bad times.
This makes him a idealized person
In the poem about Richard it is quoted that he was “admirably schooled in every grace” this means that he was perfect in etiquette and manners.
Had I finished college, I wouldn’t be as poor.
Had he gone to the park, he wouldn’t be as bored.
Had Sophie not opened the letter, she wouldn’t be learning philosophy.

Were I a teacher, I would teach.
Were he a 16 year old, he would drive.
Were I making food, I would be a chef.
In this poem he is described as “gentleman from sole to crown”. The word crown reminds me of a king, idealizing him as a king.
You see boy, in this story about a perfect man says that the man was “imperially slim.” This means he was something like a king, but even more an emperor.
HW
Plato, who was a student of Socrates did many things like making the Allegory of the cave. And a book called The Republic. This Book advocated eugenics. Not only did he write a book he also had a theory about how nothing physical is perfect, but an idea can be perfect. That is basically what Plato is.
Socrates, who was a great teacher taught many things. Some of the main events in his life is that he was arrested for teaching philosophy. With this he was thrown in prison many of his students tried to save him, but Socrates did not escape. He did not escape because of his thinking, which was that he accepted the benefits of the societies, therefore he had to accept the rules. This is what the mighty Socrates was like.
Descartes was a philosopher that thought about consciousness. He created a phrase, all things are dubitable except the idea that is indubitable, meaning that all things are doubtable except the idea that something is undoubtable. One of his famous quotes was Cogito ergo sum, which meant if I am thinking I am alive. Descrates was a famous philosopher.
Hume was a man that was a very thoughtful man. He founded the difference between causation and coincidence. He said we can observe events, but not causation. He believed in observing, and that everything was based on the sensory observation. With this Hume is a very important person to history.

schadenfreude- feel good when something bad happens to another.
I felt schadenfreude when Joe, my enemy was being disciplined by the teacher.
I felt schadenfreude when Bob, the boy that pushed me fell down the stairs.
Building the mosque should be allowed because in the states there is freedom of religion. If we say that there is a religion of freedom then we should keep this rule. If we disagree and be discriminative about it, then it just makes them more angry. We should allow building the mosque and keep our promise.
Toys in happy meals should be banned because there is a big concern for obesity. Many kids buy this meal because of the toy but because MacDonald's food is fatty food it causes obesity for many children that want the toy.If we ban the toys then less kids will be obese and have a better health. Banning the toys for Happy Meals is right for the obesity concern.
Topic sentence
------- should be allowed/ disallowed because---------
Factual statement
Explain
Conclude allowing or prohibit will ——
Dr somebody said the n word should be fired
overly sensitive public.
Marijuana is being advertised on TV
Potential for abuse; first step to legalizing drugs; increase in drug abuse; promotes drugs; legitimate medical use.
Finish the two paragraphs by next week
Dr. Laura should not be arrested for saying the N word because the public was over sensitive. The N word maybe a really bad word but, the way Dr. Laura said it was not offending the African-Americans. She said the statement in second person so that she didn’t mean it. But all because she said it doesn’t mean she should be fired just for giving her opinion on the word. Dr. Laura should not be fired because the public was being overly sensitive.
Marijuana on TV should be banned because it promotes drugs on TV. Promoting drugs on TV is not good because little kids or teenagers will learn about this drug as a medicine and not a drug and learn a lot about. Then the kids would get older and want the drug. Banning the advert should be right because it promotes drugs to kids.

The age for the rides runs the gamut from 10 to 20.
Al qaeda group.
In Afghanistan hidden. can’t find
Jihad crusade
pre emptive. attacking something needed to fight. like arms or legs.
The idea for preemptive attack is very unpredictable. Making it hard to think. As in should I attack first or should I attack after. But if you were attacked first you’d die or only block. To make this kind of situation fair. I would just drop the guns and ask them to too.
Axis of evil. Iraq Iran NK thought to be al qaeda helper.
Iran major oil. muslim. most are shi’ia not good relationship with US
Iraq. Long time ago US supported Iraq and Iran. Gave them nukes to both countries.
Attacked Kawait. US saved Kawait. What Bush said was a LIE. Preemptive attacks are ILLEGAL
1. NO there was no clear and present danger in Iraq. Because there was no WMD to threaten the US. Nor did they have any missiles that would reach the US.
3. NO not at all because all America did was make the Iraq’s a lot more angry. The Iraqis are hungry maybe homeless. And becoming more impatient, and thirsty for revenge.
4. IT would be pretty bad. Because if the troops left then the sunnis and the shiite. Then there would be war between the two. Because the sunnis used to be king and the rulers. But now that everything changed the shiite becomes the ruler and would want war with there enemy.
