The poem I really like on this page was "Life" by Jovenia g. Salazar. I like this poem because It tell you all about life and the positives and negative things that can happen. It tells you that being on earth is a very good gift from the above and how god is the reason why you are living today in this world. I like the way they talk about love because it says '' with out love no one will see the beggining and the end. The poem was very easy to understand and would consider someone to read it.
The poem connects to my life because i do in my lifetime have bad things going on and then good things going on but no matter what happens, i will always be grateful for being earth espacially for the person who brought me to earth in the first. Talks about how tears and laughter is a good way to express your elf witch i totally agree because tears of joy and laughing out loud is a good thing to have and do. Talks about how love is importand and good to do. I have loved lots of people and it does feel good to have loved some one.
My definition of poetry would be a piece of writing that catches your feelings and emotion about what is being said. Most poems rhyme but all poems dont have to. As long as you are feeling whats is being said and feel the flow of the poem. A poem could be your own ideas about something, some of your own experiences and emotion you have or have had.

Moral Dilemmas in Huck Finn In the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck faces a number of moral dilemmas which reveal much about his character.
Huck faces a lot of moral dilemmas which is a problem with no clear right or wrong answer. On his adventure with Jim he says lots of lies to get himself and Jim out of trouble and after he lies, he feels that he has done something wrong. Well here is a moral dilemma that Huck had to make in order to be safe and not get in trouble.
When Huck and Jim are escaping and two hunters come there way, Huck has to make a decision on what he was going to with Jim to save his life because he knows that Jim is black and if the hunters find Jim, Then Jim will get taken away a maybe killed. So Huck makes a decision and he decides to lie for Jim to save him. So as Huck is talking to the two hunters he says that he never saw a black person around even though Huck is escaping with Jim and he is black. When Huck lies for Jim he says that he know he have done wrong and he should have gave Jim away but Huck is his friend and he wants to keep Jim. I think that this will change Huck child development and when he has to lie about things, he will do it and not feel sorry about it because it is the right thing to do for his friend.
Huck decision is very lenient but I would have to agree with him. I agree with Huck because I would not want to be taken away after all that hard work of escaping even though back then it was bad. Yes, it would be very crude to give your friend away after both of you did so much together and helping each other out like finding and building new shelter and finding and cooking each other food to eat.
Huck Decision was right to do when he did not give away Jim because if Huck would of gave Jim away then Huck would be on his on through his own adventure. Huck is a child and Jim is an adult and even though Huck is smarter than Jim because Huck can read and right and Jim cant, Huck would still need Jim because two brains is better than one especially when your in tight situations and you need more than just on opinion.
All in all, Huck has lied a lot on his adventure but he had to lie to save a friend. Yes, lying might be bad and he did feel stupid for not doing the right thing but it was even better of the decision that he made for not snitching on Jim.

Huck Finn Reader Responce # 3 (ch.14-ch.18)
Huck is impress about the grangerford's house because the grangerford house was really nice and it had lots of style to go with it. It had a brass nob to turn the door. It had a very good fireplace in it and had big brass dog-irons and even a clock with a good picture around it on the glass front and some on he wall. They had parrots and a good table laying on the floor with oranges and apples on it.This says about huck that he likes a well splended family thats clean and rich. Quote - It was a mighty nice house and a mighty mice family. (pg.75, chapter 17, paragraph 5)
The books thats in the house was so special because they were all piled up so perfectly on each corner of the tables and the books were interesting. Some of the books he saw was family books, hymn books, henry clays speeches, Dr. Gunnls family medicine and one that was called "pilgrims's Progress". Huck was so interested in them because the book told about a kid running away from his own family and he read it a little because this was pretty much the same predicament he was in since he has run away from the widow and pap and every one else he was with at some point. About hucks's education this says that he likes and is interested in book and learning new things he have not knowned before. This says about twain's education that he a smart person and was interested in those types of book that he put in the story. Quote - There were some book to piled up perfectly exact, on each corner of the table. (pg.76, chapter 17, paragraph 2)
The drawings, poems and the scrapbook was unique because all of them was about people that were dying or people that have died before. The Significant of the painting of the girl on the brigde with three sets of arms was that this picture was a prayer for her to be allowed to live intill she have finished it. Three arms was to see witch arms goes best for the picture. She was sick while she did this and ended up dying when she finally got her mind made up. Twain discribe this so specifically because he wants to catch the readers eye when they read this part and make it sound so observing and realistic. This mights say about his view of death is that he takes death very serious. Huck is so touch by this girls life of art because he never heard such thoughful and crazy situations like this before and is a new experience for him. Quote - There was some that they called crayons, which one of the daughters which was dead made her own self when she was fifteen years old. (pg.76, chapter 17, paragraph 3)

Huck Finn (reader response 2 (7-13))
The Widow Douglas was a positive influence on Huck Finn because she is the reason why huck has a place to live. Huck has lots of good things like a bed so he can sleep on, bed cloths to where and even a carpet where he stays at and if it wasn’t for her he probably be living in a house
Pap is a bad influence on huck because he had tried to make huck quit his school. If he had quit his school then he would be getting stupid because he might forget how to read and write. Pap also tries to get money from his own son and was going to bully judge Thatcher to get money from him. “I don’t have a dollar and I want that to"
Jim is a good influence on Huck Finn because they are friends and they help each other on the island. Together on this island they gather food, find shelter, and help each other around the place by exploring the place. With out each other help, Jim could of gotten caught already by searchers of him and huck and Jim could have starved off food that they have not gotten intill they search for it together.
Tom sawyer is a good influenced on tom because back then they help each other with things just like friends do now. He made things fair like when huck did not have a dad to be killed if they had snitch on what they were doing, so he was about to be excluded from the group intill huck finally said widow Douglas could be killed and tom still had him in the group.

Huck Finn Reader Response 1: (1-6)
Education
A quote from the book that deals with my theme (Education) is “Well, I’ll learn people to bring up a boy to put on airs over his own father and let on to be better’n what he is. You let me catch u around that school again u hear? Your mother couldn’t read and she couldn’t write nuther, before she died. None of the family couldn’t, before they died. I can’t and here you’re swelling yourself up like this. I’m ain’t the man to stand it u here. In my own word this quote says that his father wants him to drop out of the school so he can be like the rest of his family that couldn’t read and write (Chapter 5, Page 4, Par7)
What being said is that his dad want him to drop out of school because his mom
who died could not read or write and his dad could not read or write and everyone
in his family could not read or write. So huck dad wants him to be like his family.
He does not want huck to be better than his own father.
What mark Twain was probably thinking was that to catch the reader's attention or eye, he would make it seem suspence and crazy for having the dad all of a sutten show up in the room. Then make it interesting when having the dad and the son argue about school.

Do you think that in today's society, African american and white american talk different?
I think that African americans DONT talk Different than white americans because yea, most african american people do talk slang most of the time but some of them also talk proper. As for white americans, There are not alot of them that talk slang, but still there are some that still talk slang and some that talk proper
If so, do u think that one is right or more wrong than the other?
I do a little think that one thin is wrong than the other because slang makes u sound a little stupid and ignorent and proper talk makes u sound smart and good but every one talk different in there own way
