expression art

this peice of art shows the living conditions on a boat that slave would have ridden on to America through the middle passage trade route. the boats were very unsanitary, and cramped. Slaves often died from sickness's they caught on these boats. i think this peice of art shows this very well.

having my say

i am a little late on this blog but as i have said before "better late then never!". So i am having my say on all of the complaints about weather on facebook. I HATE it when i log onto facebook and see everyone's hate about snow or the cold. We are all experiencing it. i don't need your negative status to remind me about what the weather man announces everyday.

Late is better then never. Childhood poem

This Emily Dickinson I beleive is very easily relatable to. I beleive this because I have never met a kid or person who has never been through a "phase" in there life. I think this is really what I think this poem is about. Just children going through phases in their life. That is why I can relate to this poem. When I was a kid I was a power ranger. I dressed up as a power ranger and would run around the house doin ninja moves. I am no longer a power ranger. This is because I am no longer surrounded by childish things like that. That is what I think this poem is about and how I can relate to it.

Emily Dickinson

Flowers -- Well -- if anybody
Can the ecstasy define --
Half a transport -- half a trouble --
With which flowers humble men:
Anybody find the fountain
From which floods so contra flow --
I will give him all the Daisies
Which upon the hillside blow.

Too much pathos in their faces
For a simple breast like mine --
Butterflies from St. Domingo
Cruising round the purple line --
Have a system of aesthetics --
Far superior to mine.

this is the poem i found that is about flowers. it is written in Emily's usual odd style, but

does use a rhyming scheme this time. In this poem i think Emily is talking about death. I think 

this because all the things she describes would fit in at a funeral.
