Q's Experiance To A New World

       The Dinosaur(that is his mane), just had his first interaction with the New Ones. He seems to feel relived that he is accepted after long years of being tracked down, but finds himself feeling lost from his past.

‘’They gave me a nick name: ‘’The Ugly One’’, because I was different from them, for no other reason. These New Ones, I don’t know how in the world you call them, Pantotheres or whatever, were still a rather formless species; in fact, all the other species descended from it later; and already in those days there was the greatest variety of similarity and dissimilarities from one individual different type, I was finally convinced I didn’t stand out too much.’’ pp(99-100)

The way Dinosaur reacted to the salutations of the New One’s was is sometimes the same way that people react to differences. People can be rude, or friendly when one interacts or comes in contact with new things. An example can be when we meet new people. I f we feel insecure (which is most of the time) we change our personalities and our beliefs.

    We feel that people won’t accept us, and we will be alone. Dinosaur was nervous when he met Fern Flower. People can react in a different way to something they meet. When II meet new people I  might like the company or dread the time I have to spend with that person(s).We also judge people  before we even get to meet them. That can make conflicts between the differences people can share, and neglect those differences. Dinosaur was very different from the New Ones; from his physical features, to.his characteristics. He soon found out that if he wanted others to like him and fit in, he would have to change. Change can be a good thing at times, but make others fake. You can share differences and be able to use them, but not make them change you completely. These are problems many people face with changes to meeting new people and their differences.     What we can learn from the experiences from Dinosaur  can help us with our future experiences. This experience for Dinosaur show a lot of our world today. Are people accepting each other? Or Are we changing people? What we can do is learn to accept new people. Q dealed with his situation by becoming one of the New Ones. Maybe in his own opinion, his choice was the correct thing to do. My advice to people would be to be able to accept differences. Invite someone new to eat at your table, or talk to someone you haven’t talked to. This will be able to create a better relationship between people.

Goverment

      I found this quote in Susan's blog that explains a lot of what the government does to people

''Instead of holding people back and telling them what to do, we must facilitate all of our rights of freedom.''

       Government has been taking our place in our say in what we think is right. Sure, they have many important people representing the ''whole America'', but really just represents the people who work for the government.
Government has been taking away our freedom by not letting all people vote, deciding things for us, and making up stupid laws that can go against a lot of people who have done nothing wrong.
       It is like the government is speaking for us. The problem is why do we let them do that, and no I am not saying let us make a riot and kill them all, but have more of a voice in our nation. We should be able to spread  our opinions to others in a safe way that does not neglect others. It is a way in which we can make new ideas that can benefit others as well. This a poem in which we made in seventh grade that I give out my ideas on the freedom people have today.

                                                        Is freedom out there

I ask myself this question
I guess others do too
What is freedom?
It seems to be lost in a puddle of honor, power, and strength
that comes from those who speak for us
Is it true?
Freedom is still out there?
In the laws we have to follow
Constricting us and our morals
Or the men in black suites who seem to always have more power than me
 Is  my yellow top and skinny jeans not enough?
The lesson we need to learn is this:
Learn to accept the differences
the choices
the opinions
the looks
the personalities
the fame
and fortune
the poor
 and stupid (well, the not so smart)
the colors
and race
the culture
in all people.
Do you think this is a way to a new beginning?
A way to let others know
Hey, I am somebody who needs respect and wants to help
So, listen up goverment

(This is the second part of ''The Day I Saw You)

          Poetry has been written since people have been able to write. There are many different types of poetry that we may not even think are poetry. Examples could be: songs, a diary, your opinion, and your own writing. Writing poetry in my opinion, is a way of expressing my feelings toward something. Maybe I was mad about something and wrote a poem to express my anger, or I could have had a great day and described how it went in a poem. The problem is not how the poem is itself, but what it shows about us. Poetry is a powerful tool that is used by many people, and through it we learn more about others.
        Writing poems is also a way of writing anything you want to get out at an audience. You have the freedom to write. Unlike, in an essay you may have to write about a certain topic.  In a poem the writer can change from topic to topic, write about something and then something completely different, but it is poetry.
         People should start writing more poetry. Not for writing a simple piece of writing, but a masterpiece that can be portrayed by others in discovering more about yourself.

Please cheack out this Poem?

The Day I saw You

I was in the street

You were in a hotel

I was in the cold

You were in the light

The sounds I heard were my crying

All you heard was laughing

You dressed in Vans, Levies, gold, and a hundred dollar shirts

I was dressed with the same thing every day

Tyring to love you is like asking time to stop

It would be just you and me 

But I see how harsh reality is

 The differences that I saw where far to vast for us to love

If only you knew how much I loved you

This poem is from my Friend. I do not want to mention her name, but I love this poem.

Sure, she did exaggerate, she did not where the same thing everyday.

But, this poem is much more than love

it explains the way we look at each other.

Ten Words

These are words I need to practice:
validity
subsequent
entity
parameter
derive
convention
reliance
mechanism
regulation
