rape of lockkk.

this was a confusing story, and the rhyming made it hard to concentrate on the meaning of the story. what i got out of it was that she was going to give him a lock of her hair to show that she liked him and that they had feelings for eachother.. ?

Rape of lock

this poem story thing was pretty confusing which is understandable because it was 10 pages long and all in rhymes, but i think i got the general jist of the story about a girl named belinda who is warned about a bad thing that will happen to her and then she goes to this party thing and this guy, the baron, is determined to take a lock of her hair and when he cuts it she gets reallllly pissed!
weird story though.

poem (:

haha mrs. stariha i guess i finally got a poem , ehh its still bad but waaay better then nothing, right ?(:

people these days
messed up in many ways
we've lost substantial values
people have become so shallow
it's all about what pleases us
like money, drugs, and forbidden lust
obama says its time for a change
apparently that was just for the fame
we've lost all drive
replaced with selfish pride
text, tweet, talk all day
while the world fades away

how the world has changed..

The world has changed from 300 years ago because it has become more technologically advanced and dependent which has in turn created many inventions that change the way life is with the help of automobiles, Internet, and phones. The world has also become a more "i want it now" society, along with that mental attitude people's outlook towards life and decency has been wildly change because subjects like sex, drugs and alcohol have become more common subjects and aspects of life and the common courtisey, mannors, and proper etiquett have been lost. However some thing have changed for the better, like the abolishment of slavery which has lead to abolishment of racisim and also giving woman rights. The addition of immgration also has brought along many changes to the world because america became a melting pot because people came from all over the world and brought their cultures and customes especially during the gold rush in california where people rushed to come to try to find gold and make a living for their familys. More violence is assepted too beacause of video games and the changed view on life and whats right or wrong this confusion stems from the change of religious importance where america used to be known as the nation under God and now in todays society there is a lack of any religous values at all because off the melting pot bringing in so many different religions into one area politics think its better to altogether eliminate religion as to not upset any one religion.

My Poem

Our economy is failin
We're in a recession
But what do we value?
Nothin' but possessions
We got drugs, alcohol, and money
And don't really care
Or put forth our best
This is not real rare
So what happened to education?
Technology has fried our brains
We sit on the couch
It's pretty insane
There's this new generation
Of cell phones and music
And we got a lot of drama
It's cuz of that Obama
So what should we do?
Now I'm askin' you
We're a new generation
Let's bring in change
To reach a destination
Come together, act as one
Our battle has just begun

The Rape of Lock

This reading was really weird. I really didn't like it at all. The whole thing was about a guy trying to cut a piece of a woman's hair. It was just not normal. The way Pope wrote the story I didn't get it at all. All the rhyming didn't help. It was a really boring story!!

Best day ever

today in class was probably one of easiest days we will have in this class, it was not stressful at all. Even though we read the rape of the lock. about that poem it was so hard to comprehend with the ryming and how it spoke. I had no clue it was about the man trying to cut off the womens lock of hair.
