I chose to write about the Jazz Age. I chose the topic because it seems interesting the gangsters, the use of alcohol, and the music. I also can just visualize the moments and the lifestyle of that time.The Camel's Back by F. Scott FitzgeraldThe Story was about a man named Perry Pankhurst who was in love with Betty Medill. He tries to marry her but she refuses to marry him because she isn't really sure about tying the knot right now. so Perry Storms off through the night just wondering around till he bumps into a strange man that offers him a drink. Perry is like sure what have i got to lose. he wasn't planning on going to any more parties because he did that all the time, but after drinking he changes his mind constantly.So there is this circus ball that he wants to attend. he was pretty sure the woman he loved was going to be there but it didn't matter. so he goes to this costume shop to get an costume for the party what he wants has all ready been rented to other people. so the employee introduces him to this camel suite. he likes it but can find a partner. The fact that he couldn't find a partner made him very sad and delusional so by now he's having flashbacks of Betty. so he gets in this cab and on the way to the wrong party he offers the cab driver a sum of money to be in the suite with him. The Cab driver refuses heavily because he figured he would lose his job by partying. He soon agrees and now they arrive to the wrong party but a local friend of Mr. Pankhurst. a little commotion gets stirred but soon everyone realizes it's Perry so they start back partying. The friend invites Perry and his companion to the circus ball the party he was meant to go to so Perry agrees to go with Mr. and Mrs. Tate. They arrive at the circus ball and he sees his love flirting with every guy in the party this makes him really mad but he knows he lose his cool because he don't want anyone to notice that's it's him in the camel suite. not because he's embarrassed or anything he just has this master plan to get his love back. so he dances over all cool and slick trying to get her attention and does, they dance and had a little talk. she wants the man in the camel to tell her she's pretty and just amuse her. This makes Perry so mad because the woman he loves is flirting with people she really don't know then she thought he was some one else out of town visiting the Tate's. so the conversation is over and they party, but soon it's time for the awards to be passed one goes to the snake charmer which is Betty Medill and the Camel with is Perry. as for the Ritual they are supposed to get married just by the Circus Ball standards. So this guy named Jumbo just a normal guy but funny is suppose to be the priest. Jumbo asked Perry do he has his marriage license but since this is a fake wedding it can be a piece of paper or anything. so perry digs through his pants and finds a piece of paper but little does he know that it's the actual marriage license that he presented to Betty when he asked her to marry him. Then Jumbo ask for the ring instead of Mr. Perry having one he forces to the cab driver to take his off or he'll kill him the cab driver is so scared that he does it. so he puts the ring on the snake charmers finger and as soon as they are about to kiss Jumbo realizes that its an actual marriage license and addresses it out loud. He read the names on the paper which were Perry and Betty Pankhurst she is astonished and so is the crowd. so there is the silence in the party and she breaks it by asking him to take off the camel head and having 5 minutes of alone time to talk. He agreed. Now their talking in this secluded hallway and she is basically telling him she doesn't want him and why would he stoop so low to marry her. He didn't plan on it though it just happened but he doesn't get the chance to say that because she is constantly running her mouth. so Perry interrupts her by telling her OK i will renounce our wedding even though it was actually fake but the marriage license all so real. The Cab driver finally speaks and say your my wife too you know. she is like who said that. But she thinks the cab driver is blind and deaf because perry told her that. so the cab driver say you didn't just get married to the head of the camel but the whole camel and perry agrees to that so he states that I'm heading west and I'm going to let you be with your husband if you need me i will be headed west kept repeating himself to make her feel bad. He grabs the door knob to leave but she stops him to tell she love him and she wants to go too.The story involves a lot of things that relate to the Jazz age philosophy. It involved Bootlegger's and Alcohol. "The Towns ends had determined to assure their party of success, so a great quantity of liquor had been surreptitiously brought over from their house and was now flowing freely". The after hours partying at secluded locations "The circus ball was in full swing." I think Fitzgerald was trying to say that America was not a land of opportunity and equal respect. For example the cab driver couldn't earn any respect because he was a black male. He couldn't Show his face no where till he was away from the people in the party.
Richard Corey:The people in the poem think that the man named Richard Covey is doing good but doesn't realize that even if your rich and famous you still can have problems.The poor people wants to be just like him so they do their jobs and then all of a sudden Richard goes home and kills himself. This poem is an example of Moderrnism .
Mending Wallby Robert Frost:The wall is is always getting broken and every year and the narrator always eb=nds up fixing it. the neighbor of the poet stated that "good fences make good neighbors" but as you continue reading the poem the only time they talked and hung out was when they worked on a fence to repair it from the damage that was done by the hunters and winter season.
A Dream Deferred: think the Poem was written during the Harlem Renaissance. It addresses how people in America was saying that America was the place to be but truly it wasn't in this poem Mr. Hughes questioned their belief. it wasn't really a question but you could tell he say ask where is the opportunity when you treat us (black people) like we are nothing but Horse manure to you meaning the white people.
The Negro Speaks of Rivers:In the poem he talks about different rivers he has been to over the course of history. He says that he has “known rivers ancient as the world and older that the flow of human blood in human veins”. He also says that he “looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it”.
Incident by Countee Cullen This poem poem to me is relly hard for me to notice what it is. I think it would be Dullisionment because he went to Balitomore and didn't expect what happend to happen. "Now I was eight and very small,And he was no whit bigger,And so I smiled, but he poked out His tongue, and called me, "Nigger."
By doing all this work, oi ahve learned new words and how to change the sentences into where i can understand it better!

Unit 3
1)ELAALRL4 The student employs a variety of writing genres to demonstrate a comprehensive grasp of significant ideas in selected literary works. The student composes essays, narratives, poems, or technical documentsI think this means that we are going to be learning how to write things such as essays and poems so that we can sow that we get the ideas in the things we are reading.
2)I think that I would have to be a Dark Romantic because I think that everyone has a bad side to them. I think that as far a Transcendentalist thinks, they just thought that it was only good ones and that was not true. Not everything that we do God would think is right. So, when they say god send you signs, they could be bad things you do and I don’t think god tell you to do bad things.
4) Black cat: This story was about a man that was obessed with animals, in particular obessed with cats. He loved cats so much that he killed his wife because she was in the way of the cat. When he drinks he gets mad. He got so mad that he cuts the cats eye out then later on he ends up killing the cat. the next day his house burns down....so they get a new house. He sees this cat and it follows him home. This cat looks exactly like the last one. He ends up drinking again and tries to do the same thing to this cat, but his wife was in the way of him doing it and trying to stop him from taking its life, and he ends up killing his wife with an axe because she tried to stop him.
This is a great example of Dark Romantics work because the man does alot of kililng when he is mad. One example from the story would be “I withdrew my arm from her grasp and buried the axe in her brain.”

Unit 2
1) I think the word theme means to find out what the whole story is about. I believe that theme has a reason.I think the standard is saying that you need to know the message they’re give off to know the theme.
2) Romanticism is made your imagination or could also be said to be things that are not real. Most of the stories took place in the nature away from the cities because this is where most people lived at the time. I think people really liked theses stories because they look their minds off of everyday things and took their immigrations on trips. People really loved theses stories because they could relate to them . It made it all little more fun to read because the people where jus like me and you. They where not big hero at first it took them time and effort to get there.Rip van winkle is very good example romanticism because it tends to take your imagination on a trip. We all know you cannot sleep for 20 years. He fall asleep and thought it was the next day but it was the next year. As he approached the village he met a number of people, but none"Whom he new, which somewhat surprised him, for he had thought himselfAcquainted with every one in the country round". What they where saying in this part was he went back to town the next day and nothing was the same.The very village was altered; it was larger andmore populous. What they where saying here was that he went back to town it was people he never saw before.
3) This is an example of romanticism because they are talking about you using your imagination. They where talking about nature and death as if they where a real person. For example in thanatopsis William Bryant says, “Go forth under the open sky, and list to nature’s teachings while from all around earth and her waters, and the depths of air comes a still voice.” You can’t really take to nature so you really have to use your imagination for this. In this they are saying you should not be sacred that everyone has to die. They’re celebration nature because this is where it takes place. For example in thanatopsis William Bryant says, “To be brothers to the insensible rock and the rude swalm turns with his share, and treads upon.” What he is saying in this that is you and rocks will be one when you die. No one was better then anyone else that when you die you will all be the same. This was an example of promotion of common people. A good example of this in thanatopsis William Bryant is, “thou salt lie down with patriarchs of the infarct world with kings, the powerful of the earth the wrise, the good, all in one mighty sepulcher.
4)ELAALRL1 The student demonstrates comprehension by identifying evidence (i.e., examples of diction, imagery, point of view, figurative language, symbolism, plot events and main ideas) in a variety of texts representative of different genres (i.e., poetry, prose [short story, novel, essay, editorial, biography], and drama) and using this evidence as the basis for interpretation.
I meet this because in every story I used evidence. For example, “I would have to say that the native were freer and had many different gods. For example one god was beauty and that if u thinks but this you are running with your daydreams. What they mean by this was beauty is so deep sometimes it can fool you in to believing people are who they are not. The Puritans where much different because they though everyone was going to hell and that gods save who he wants .For example God "saves" those he wishes - only a few are selected for salvation.” John Edwards's said, there is nothing between you and hell but air". Their ideas of gods differ because the Native American has many gods and the puritans have one. One of the ways I see that they would clash would be because the native are very free people and the puritans have a rule for their ways of living.”
ELAALRL2 the student identifies, analyzes, and applies knowledge of theme in a work of American literature and provides evidence from the work to support understanding.
I meet this because you have to know the theme when you are reading a story to know what it is about. For example, “Romanticism is made your imagination or could also be said to be things that are not real. Most of the stories took place in the nature away from the cities because this is where most people lived at the time. I think people really liked theses stories because they look their minds off of everyday things and took their immigrations on trips. People really loved theses stories because we could relate to them .it made it all little more fun to read because the people where jus like me and you. They where not big hero at first it took them time and effort to get there.” ELAALRL3 the student deepens understanding of literary works by relating them to their contemporary context or historical background, as well as to works from other time periods
I meet this because at this time everyone lived in city in to read this it helps them take their minds off every day things. For example, “Rip van winkle is very good example romanticism because it tends to take your imagination on a trip. We all know you cannot sleep 20 years. He fall asleep and thought it was the next day but it was the next year. As he approached the village he met a number of people, but none"Whom he new, which somewhat surprised him, for he had thought himselfAcquainted with every one in the country round". What they where saying in this part was he went back to town the next day and nothing was the same.The very village was altered; it was larger and more populous. What they where saying here was that he went back to town it was people he never saw before
5)They compared nature and the world to humans preferably man and how they worked from day to day. It seems like they felt work is the only way to keep everyday life going easy. I don’t think I really under should this writing. I think that it was a very good piece but it takes using your imagination to get this. What he is saying in this that when you go out into nature your its takes your mind away from everything. He says when he is out there he feel like he is one with god. I think that he is right when he says you need to be by yourself to be one with god. I think that he is doing a little too much when he says to have to go into nature to get all of this. But over all I think it was pretty good.This is a good example of Transcendentalism because they really think that its jus you and god. They believed that if you where to go out into nature that you could talk to god because its jus you and him. They didn’t believe in sin because everyone was good.And that you could talk to god when you go out into nature. An example of this is "standing on the bare ground-my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space- all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball. I am nothing. I see all."He is sayings his body and everything is gone and he is in the sky and is one with god.
6) Self Reliance: By Ralph Waldo Emerson. The story Self-Reliance is talking about how much work and the thought of trusting no one was taking so seriously. It was trying to get at the way boys where raised up to be men. Working to them is a way to show their strength and manhood, and how their power was. ‘‘A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best’. This was a perfect example of how much work meant to them and their everyday life. I think what he was saying was you should go with what your heart is saying because this is what god wants.This is a good example of Transcendentalism. They really think that it’s what god wants you to do. They feel that god wants you to be different. So you should just do what you feel is right. This is a good example because they are going ageist what everybody thinks about you. One example of this is “a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.” What he is saying here is that you are going to look crazy but you shouldn’t care because god is with you.
7) The video was a good example of Transcendentalism because the man was one with nature. He believed that it was just him and god and the animals. Something I thought was very cool was he lived out in the woods for 35 years by himself. An example from the text by Ralph Waldo Emerson is, “to go into solitude, a man needs to retire as much from his chamber as from society.” What he is saying in this is that you should go outside to think and talk to god. Because when you are with people it’s too much going on.
2) Romanticism is made your imagination or could also be said to be things that are not real. Most of the stories took place in the nature away from the cities because this is where most people lived at the time.

Writing 1
What is your approach to life? Reveal your life philosophy.
There are many ways to find success in life such as going to college, finding the right kind of job that has a really good pay rate, or starting your own business. This to me is the reason why every person has their own beliefs and morals. i have to distinguish between what are bad or good for me in life and therefore i am very conscientious about every decision i make. one of the approaches i take to living a comfortable and safe life is treating everyone as if they were in the same position i am in. treating people as if you would like to be treated could be one of the most valuable pieces of advice i could have. this seems to bring up the thought of karma. i remember that i did this girl wrong by leaving at a certain place and i didn’t go back to pick her up. Two days later, my tire went flat.
making sure i treat everyone with the utmost respect and loyalty keeps the thought of positive things happening. always entering a new task with positive thoughts and a steady focus also keeps me at a level of comfort and tranquility. this makes sure that i will do my best and finish the task. keeping a clear head, listening to the advice of others before me, and being very attentive helps with any new task i take on. if everyone had certain goals in life that required each of these things and took them all into consideration, then they would find themselves following through with all assignments and accomplishing more each day. An example is setting a goal on how much school work you will get done in that day.
no one has just one way to do certain things. the only thing a person has to do in order to stay on the right track to their goals is follow their conscience. Since everyone has a way to overcome an obstacle, it is up to that individual whether they can choose the best way to come out on top. it is not every day that someone will do the morally correct things to engage upon success, however there is a choice. we have a choice in treating every body with respect or just taking advantage of people. being taught this at an early age can have a big affect on a person because he/she has to learn this eventually.
If right and wrong is not taught at an early age, then who’s to say that that same person will ever figure it out? to grow up knowing right from wrong is one thing. to grow up actually doing only what is right or only whats wrong is basically what that individual will continue to do as he/she gets older. I had my grandmother to teach me what was right and what was wrong. there are cases in which a person’s perspective can change but is not likely unless there is someone along with that person who can show them different options.
To become the person you want to be there must be some level of discipline. if there is no discipline, then how could a person know that they are going about something the wrong way ? disciplinary actions may come from parents, peers, or idols, but who would have the most influence? for me the most influence would come from my parents. parents have the ability to nurture their children into adulthood by reading or by example or giving true life experiences to their young. this can only be if the parents themselves have taken into consideration the influence they have over their young to guide them in the right path.
As often heard, this would be an example of “the blind leading the blind.” this is explained as someone without the knowledge of one thing giving advice about it to someone else. how can someone give advice to someone else about something without ever experiencing it? It's possible to get a small percentage of it correct but never all of it because there will always be a lack of truth. my philosophies for life are categorized as morally correct approaches to all things in life.
Once a person has carefully looked at the obstacles ahead, evaluated the possible outcomes , and prepared themselves for the worst, only then can they set themselves up for success. success to each and every person is different, and as i explained, these approaches to life are the basics and should inform every individual that he/she has choices.

ELAALRL3 The student deepens understanding of literary works by relating them to their contemporary context or historical background, as well as to works from other time periods.

The link above is telling a story about a little boy who hates to be at home so he goes to the mountains early in the morning and doesn't come home until night. He tells his parents that there is more to eat in the mountains and they wouldn't hav eto work hard for it. But, if they do want to come to the mountains with him, they will have to fast for seven days.
In the native american culture is so different from todays. The Puritans ways was like EVERYTHING you do reflects if you to go hell or not."There is nothing between you and hell but air". It was all just crazy to me. My Native American example really doesn't have any religious stuff going on back then. they just live by nature itself. the little boys culture was different from the puritans. they lived off of natural things. he said, "It is better there than here, and you see I am beginning to be different already, so that I can not live here any longer. If you will come with me, there is plenty for all of us and you will never have to work for it; but if you want to come, you must first fast seven days."
Perseverance:steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., esp. in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.
Evidence: proof
Wrath:retributory punishment for an offense or a crime
Deism:is a religious and philosophical belief that a supreme being created the universe, and that this (and religious truth in general) can be determined using reason and observation of the natural world alone, without a need for either faith or organized religion.
Unalienable rights: rights which are not contingent upon the laws, customs, or beliefs of a particular society or polity
Rationalist are the smarter. They use their head to figure out things and make decisions based on theory.what they are reall y sying is that they dont need a god, prayer or anything else to help them through their problems. Puritans.....they think that everything happens because of the mood that God is in. They can't do one thing without the works of praying to god to help them.
Benjamin Fankilin was a good example of rationlist because they believed in sceinece and he believed in science also.Aslo the rationalist believed that god didnt make everything ,so did benjamin.So this far,it seems that he's very common to an rationalist.

Yes,i think you could reach your moral perfection this way, all you have to do is keep yourself focus on what you need to do.This is what Franklin did ,he went with his life by his thirteen virtues really. These will keep you on the right track,by doing these positive virtues.

Georgia Performance Standards
I believe it means that they just want us to know and really understand what we are reading or anything else. It really wants us to be able to do things in many different ways instead of one way all the time. I don't remember what figurative language is? I'm thinking that it is something to with maybe the type of language it is using. For example: Othello. or Lebron James Is the Bomb....No, he is not the bomb!!
