The Statue of Liberty

The New Colossus

By Emma Lazarus, 1883

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

This poem really makes me think how alot of people can be so hipacrit,because the statue is welcoming people need of liberty but then again the people of high class the ones that have the liberty want to judge and miss treat the ones who are willing to work and earn their liberty.They just want and need to earn a better life here in this land, in the home that we once took away from somebody else. In my eyes and in my belief immagrints diserve a chance beacuse on this soil we are all immagrints and thats why we have the statue.The statue that symbolises what we are all here for,FREEDOM.

Global Warning

Global warming is a big issue here in this whole world,and it is still happening because we do not change our ways of living. I agree that we do need to change to live in a better atmosphere and that is why I signed the pitition"Urge the U.S. Senate to help struggling wildlife by passing comprehensive global warming legislation". Global warming does not just affect the poor nor just the rich it is in affect with everybody living in this world including the animals. We all have a right to live and if we want to live we have to make changes and sacrifices.

Take Action again!

Our brothers and sisters from Haiti have sufered a big tragedy they need our help to get through this whole thing. Some are still dieing do to hunger and thirst. Haiti has always been the poorest place in the western hemisphere. I do not agree credit card companies are taking in profit from charitable donations and that is why i signed the pitition at http://www.theliteracysite.com/clickToGive/campaign.faces?siteId=6&campaign=CreditCardProfits I hope it does make a change because they need all they can get even if it is just $1.00.

Take Action

Today 2-9-10 our english honors teacher Mr.Leh gave us an assignment to post in our blogs. We had to sign a pitition "take action" in any thing we wanted like for example i signed the pitition for "Save Sumatran Tigers from Extiction".Tigers are one of my favorite animals,in my eyes they are beautiful creatures who diserve to live and my grandchildrens children diserve to see them.

In the site http://www.theliteracysite.com/clickToGive/takeaction.faces?siteId=6&link=ctg_lit_takeaction_from_campaign_sidetabs gives you the oppertunity to make a change. Their was pititions that I did get bothered by but all I had to do is ignore it and just sign the ones that i do want a change in.

Unexpexted Life

Life has many lessons to give you and all one has to do is learn from them. At times the unexpected happens or lessons happen that you are not prepared for and you just feel as you were put down in a selor or room underground. All one has to do is find the door way and ladder that leads to the light to get you out of that misery. Everyone has the right to be happy but you just have to find it. Life is not all pretty colors but its not just dull colors either. It is important to enjoy life because it is only borrowed not bought and god can take it away any second he pleases.So climb the ladder that leads you out of the ground towards the light and close it shut to never be put their again.If your close to the edge of being put their smile and remember things happen for a reason, if life is making us cry now it is because many more smiles we have to put on are coming our way.
