The Great Gatsby

Yesterday during my 6th period we started to read "The Great Gatsby" and we had to takes some notes while our teacher was reading. But I didn't really wrote down much then i would expect to write down. However I did wrote something that popped up to me in page one of "The Great Gatsby" says "When you feel like criticizing any one just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had." When I think of it I never thought in that way when I criticize someone. However I will keep that in mind when I do now.

Today I read a really great poem from Jimmy Santiago Baca named "Immigrants in Our Own Land". To me he put so much feeling into like I could feel what he is feeling. It also makes me think about how other people feel when they go through the same thing.

Theme: It is about how we all have our own goal but sometimes we don't make. We go through the hard times once when we come out of those hard times we don't know what to do.
Tone (the author's attitude towards that story): i am not sure
Mood (The emotions that provoke the reader): I think the mood in the poem is kinda sad       
Devices: i don't really know what kind of devices he use

My Mad Dream Of An Essay Part One

Remember that time you ate that spicy taco just before you went to bed on the night before the big reopening of the Charlie's Chocolate Factory?  Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election.  When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the scary details, but after reading "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder" it's all coming back to you now.

The dream started badly.  You were in line with your family at a restaurant waiting to be sent to  Hometown Buffet. Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect Jasper, looking like a crazy monkey who could eat a whole Paris.  

Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "What I must do is all  that concerns me, not what the people think."  You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to dancing.  But it wasn't easy.  First you had to put on a fancy tie and suit and then you had make a snake to go back in time to the library so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the immigration.

But right there in the library there was a giant clown and it started picking at everyone.  People started to run.  You grabbed a pickle from a nearby Mickey and yelled "Say hello to my pickle" .  Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.
