Post 10 Image



The image that captures my life is "Home".  A home is not just a house, it is a place. Home is where I want to go because my belongings are there, my toys that I grew up with, my childhood memories, and so much more.  Home for me is a place where my family is. Home is where I feel safe and loved.  This comes from my amazing family, the sense of security I have at home, and the love that is always present, no matter how awful things appear.
The poem that I am comparing my image to is "Snapping Beans" by Lisa Parker. Parker uses several lines of the poem to describe the scenery, painting a picture of a quiet house in the countryside at sunrise. The imagery can be seen in the lines such as “as the sun rose, pushing its pink spikes / through the slant of cornstalks,”.

    There is no place like home, and the best part about home is that it is where the heart is. This image reminds me of Dorothy's line in "The Wizard of Oz." Only if we could just stay at home and never leave the house. To me, living in the country is way better than the city life because of the peace and quite. Thinking of home, my heart melts and I wish I way there right now.

    I agree that home isn't just a house. Early in my life my family moved fairly often, and as such we never had a house to attach many memories to. Despite that, I still know that my home was where my family was, and that any amount of changing scenery wouldn't change that.

    "Home is where I want to go" is a great way to phrase that. Home might not be the place you live, its what you want it to be. However I do recognize people not always having a choice of where you can make your home.

    As Mr. Hall stated home isn't a necessary element as to where but as to whom, this presents itself as the same thing I went through as a kid moving around a lot and not necessarily making memories at a certain place but with certain people.

Post 4 "Last day of Class"

     Sitting in class on the last day of school.  Anxious to get out. I look at the clock, 10 minutes to go.  I flick my pen on the desk to distract my brain before the bell rings. The tassels on the AC vent are blowing but it's hot and I'm about to burn up. Sweat rolling down my brow and back. I look at the clock again, hoping that time is almost up but only two minutes went by. I flop my head down in frustration.  I know! I will draw something to burn more time. I pull out a note pad that I rarely used and began drawing doodles of animals and characters that only I can recognize what they are. Ricky, the student next to me started to laugh at my drawings and make fun of them. I never liked Ricky or his Hawaiin shirts he always wore. Ricky continued to mock me and make fun of my doodles.  My blood was boiling, and I was mad. Right when I had enough of him the bell rang.

       The tone of my life is confidence. To me, confidence is a source of satisfaction. I believe that the more confident you are in yourself, the better off you are. I maintain my confidence while remaining humble about it. In a manner, I combined the humble and confident sides of my personality. Even if I am confident, I must have a humble attitude so that I never get ahead of myself. Being humble and confident also brings out the side of myself that is misunderstood. My friends and family wonder why I like to spend a lot of time alone and do activities on my own. Although I consider this to be a good quality, most others do not.  I believe that being self-reliant is a positive attribute to possess. Confidence helps me to accomplish anything I set my mind to, making me extremely high minded and confident in all I do. Confidence enables me to maintain a high level of self-esteem and hold my head high even when confronted with negative people. I utilize confidence in my daily life, e
