POEM

THIS PEOM WAS SELECTED AS POEM OF THE YEAR


No One Like You
By: Rodline Rocques

My heart has been broken many times,
And I thought I wouldn’t date anymore.
My friends fall in love too quickly,
And don’t want that to happen to me at all.
But when I met you,
I thought the world went upside down.
We got to know each other,
And I knew there was no one like you.
When I think about your name,
Many things run through my mind.
When I lie down and think about you at night,
I wonder if I’m on your mind too.
But when I say your name, there is this feeling that I get,
And I’ve never experience it when I’m not thinking of you.
Seeing you leave for the day gets me sad,
And want to cry at times.
The way you say my name,
The butterflies I get when you run your hands through my hair to keep me close to you.
When you are gone, I can still smell you on my clothes.
Is there a reason why we were put together?
To hear your voice is like the sounds of happy bells,
And the angels singing in heaven.
We wake up in the morning to watch the sunrise,
And it’s the most romantic thing that I can think of.
It was like a dream come true meeting you.
I give you my heart, and I have yours.
Broken hearts doesn’t have place in our relationship.
Tears and anger shall I not experience any more,
Because I have you.
You are the root of my heart and our love shall grow through eternity.

Spring Break

For spring break, i had a lot of fun. Such as going to the park with friends and with some church youth. But i had lots and lots of fun. We went swiming and we had egg toss and ballon wet fight. We also had a lockin and we were lock in the church dinning room from friday at 7:00pm till Saturday morning at 8:00am. So there were lots of food, drinks and games. Then dinning room is very huge.l so we played tennis and basketball. Hopefully we didnt break anything. and we had a marshmelow contest and it was the big and huge marshmelow. so it was fun and i only got eight marshmelow in my mouth because my brother and the other kids tried to make me laugh and it actually work. So again there was a rule that if you sleep just asspect for something to happen to you. so as for me, i happened to falol aspllep. i was probably sleeping for like two hours. and so when i woke up, i found ketchup, musturd, and pickles on my fae. also i saw melted cheese on my hands and marshmellow. it was discusting. the kids also wrote on my face with permanate marker and i had hot sause on my hands and around my eyes/. i was so angry but i could not do anything to the kids thaqt did that mess to me. so my spring break was cool and exciting. but im happy that im back in school because my mom had me doing chores every day in the week and the weekend.

Critic's Review

To sumerize critic review of the book called: When the Rain Clouds Gather, is that one daythere was African boarder police sped past with sirens wailing and this caised an unplesant sesation to some people the lived there in their stomach. There was thing that the block Afican could not do. You can almost say that it was a lock down for the people who lived in that area.
To fast foward to chapter seven and eight, the critic that would be made in those two chapters, there were some violece taken place and they also gave potatoes that were like a gife.

EVEN THOUGH I NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO TALK TO HIM IN PERSON BUT I KNOW THAT HE WAS A GOOD PERSON. I WOULD SEE HIM IN SCHOOL, BUT HE WOULD RECONIZE ME IN PERSON BECAUSE I LOOK SO DIFFERENT IN PERSON. BUT HE WOULD PROBABLY SEE ME AND MAYBE SAY IN HIS MIND THAT I MAY LOOK FAMILIAR TO HIM BUT HE WOULD GIVE ME THIS FRIENDSHIP LOOK AND GIVE ME A NICE SMILE. BUT I WISH THAT I HAD THE HEART TO GO UP TO HIM AND SAY HELLO OR ASK HIM ABOUT HIS DAY. BUT NOW HE IS GONE, AND I CANT TALK TO A DEAD BODY, OR LOOK UP IN THE SKY AND TALK TO HIM, BUT I KNOW THAT HE WAS A GOOD BOY. WE(BOOKER HIGH) STUDENTS WILL MISS U TRAVIS.

RELIGION

THE SUBJECT ON RELIGION IS A BIG THING THERE. BUT WHAT U ALSO ABOUT LETTING PEOPLE BELIEVE WHAT THEY BELIEVE IS KINDA
THE RIGHT THING TO SAY.
THE REASON WHY I SAID THAT IS BECAUSE IF U BELEIVE ON WHAT EVER TYPE OF god AND U WASTE YOUR TIME ON
PRAISING THAT god,
THEN THATS A WASTE OF YOUR LIFE. BUT THE "GOD" THAT I SERVE IS THE ONLY TRUE AND ONE GOD. IM NOT SAYING TO NOT SERVE THE god THAT YOU SERVE, BUT THINK ABOUT. YOU ARE LIKE ABOUT 60 YEARS OLD AND
EVER SINCE YOU WERE A CHILD AND WASTE YOUR TIME AGAIN TO SERVE THAT god AND WHEN YOU DIE, AND YOU
APPEAR TO THE ONLY TRUE GOD THAT I SERVE AND MY GOD TELLS YOU THAT THE GOD THAT YOU HAVE BEEN SERVING DOES NOT EXIST? YOU WILL BE SHOCK. BUT FOR SOME PEOPLE, THEY MAY SAY"WELL THATS NOT THE FIRST THIME I HEARD THAT", BUT I AM NOT SAYING NOT TO SERVE YOUR GOD
BESIDES THE GOD THAT CHANGE WATER INTO WINE, AND THE ONE WHO RAISE THE DEAD AND ETC. SO THATS WHAT I WANTED YOU TO UNDERSTAND.
I REALLY KNOW A WHOLE LOT IN THE BIBLE AND ALL
THE DIFFERENT gods.

Think Through Literature

1. Oedipus is really not real meaning fake, but he likes his way over exaggerating how much he really cares. He started out by trying to make the priest feel bad for him, when really Oedipus should have felt bad for the priest and tried to help him. But after that, then he went into how much he loved and cared for his people, so he could be really sincere or just being fake.
2. The cause of the plague was that they never tracked down Laius's killer and punished him.
3. "Thebes is like a great army dying and there no sword of thought to save us."
4. A curse that basically he'll be living hell and be banished from the city and that he, as well as everyone else, will die.
5. I think that Oedipus's father is the murderer if Laius. Or maybe Laius's father is the killer.

THINKTHROUGH.
1. He sends for Tiresias to learn the murderer of Laius because he's the only one that knows the exact truth.
2. They feel he's blind and not really using his head to figure things out. He's not thinking before he's acting.
3. Oedipus wants to know the killer so the plague will stop killing his people. Also I think he might want to find out about his family, it somehow may be linked. I think it was Oedipus's father who murdered Laius.

PAUSE&REFLECT.
1. Oedipus thinks that Creon and Tiresias are plotting against him to kill him.
2. Oedipus is realizing that he is the murderer of Laius. Although he doesn't know Laius is his father.

THINKTHROUGH.
1. Oedipus killed the travelers as well as Laius at the place where the three roads meet.
2. He ran because he didn't want the prophecy to come true and he didn't want to kill his father.
3. She doesn't really believe in the prophecies or fate. What happens, happens.
4. The chorus believes there is a greater being of determining the prophecies as well as fate.

PAUSE&REFLECT.
1. Oedipus finds his fake father, Polybus, has died of an illness.
2. Oedipus's dad didn't want the prophecy to come true so he pinned his ankles together and gave him to the messenger. The messenger then gave Oedipus to Polybus.
3. Oedipus discovers that Laius is his father and his wife is really his mother. (gross).


THINKTHROUGH.
1. The shepherd gave the baby to Polybus.
2. They now look down on him, they're ashamed of their king.
3. Oedipus left Corinth causing him to cross paths with his real father and kill him.



PAUSE&REFLECT.
1. I think Oedipus will leave Thebes and travel far away from this travesty.2. He blinds himself because he is so ashamed at what he's done and what's become of him and his life.

Opedius Pause & Reflect

Think Through :The Pillow Book

1. I thought that the "Graceful things" was the most interesting. That section along with "I Remember a Clear Morning". It was interesting what exactly she found graceful and elegant. In "I Remember a Clear Morning" I enjoyed the irony of how the listeners didn't find the morning as interesting as he had.

2. Shonagon didn't want to tell Tadataka that the dog really was Okinamaro because she feared that he would hurt the dog since it was he who banished Okinamaro from the palace.

3. I think that the author is really down to earth based on her entries. She just really told things as they really are. She didn't butter everything up or exaggerate at all. Things in life are hateful, beautiful, and embarrassing, and her accounts of these thoughts are right on because in reality things like this aren't buttered up.

4. The people not finding the morning beautiful told Shonagon told her that they, too, stop to appreciate the little beautiful things in life and don't take them for granted.

5. I do have to agree with Murasaki Shikibu because based off The Pillow Book it almost humbles you. You connect so well with what she's saying and it's almost as if you're speaking them through her. It's always satisfying to know that there are others who have the same views as you.

6. I really agree with "Graceful Things" and "Embarrassing Things". Human nature hasn't changed that drastically over the years. People always get embarrassed and find certain things graceful or elegant.

Women In Botswana

Women that are living in Botswana today have many problem. Women problem in Botswana are that there are many women that have HIV/AIDS and are trying to find a cure for that type of diease. There have been given medicine that has been given out to those women and actually cost lots and lots of money. Life for them is pretty hard.
The womens in botswanna professions mainly cover crafting house and they hold materials and handcrafts; materials such as crafted baskets and dyes. Many families in Botswana are not settled. They rarely stay in one place for a long amount of time. The reason for such mobility is food and income. Many people rarely have ownership of large amounts of cash, or make individual achievements. In the cases that someone has made an individual achievement, or has ownership of money, the end of witchcraft is assumed.
The condition of the women in Botswana is a hard life. They have to find food to eat and find a a place to protect them selves and their children. So in my point of view, the women's in Botswana are living a pretty hard life. Such as to provide for themselves and their family. And they are always treated for some type of sickness, such as HIV/AIDS.

Taking The Responsibility Of A Teen Parent

Being a teen parent is a big responsibilty. To begin with, having sex at an early age can caause the fact of being an early teen parent. Im not saying that having sex is a bad thing, but being safe and using protection will prevent about 50%
of being a teen
parent.
But it would be better if you have sex after you turn 18 years old because it would be better than being a teen parent under the age of 18. But there are some circumstance that the child never had a talk from there mother or anyone that is close to them to give them a speech or a little talk to tell the child how to protect themselves
from that kind of
life.
There are children at the age of 11 and up who are teen parents. Some kids have good mothers to talk to them about staying away from things like that, but the child just want to have fun and do thing that relate to any sexual activity and forgot about
protecting themselves.
Then it turns out that the child is pregnate and will become a teen parent. So that will be an embarrasment for the mother, child,
and the the family.
So my adivce is to use protection and stay safe. Remember if you going to involve sexualy, just think in your head that you may pay consequences. You only have 50% chance of not becoming a teen parent.

The Chinese Poetry

1. The poem that appealed the most to me was still night thought because tthe reading wasn't as hard as the other and really like understandable.

2. The relationship between the river merchant and her husband were that far away or distants.

3. In "still night thought" the speakers feeling is that he likes the moonlight very much and admires it also.

4. Effect on seeing the waterfall in grazing out is that the speaker can imagine when he sees the waterfall and kind of drift off away.

5. In the mulberry, the speaker is loving and joyful in the river at all times.

6.Today, people make music about recycling, have commity and also make movies about it.

Crime In Sarasota

Well to say in exzact that there are crimes in Sarasota is unpredictable. To begin with, I just moved here in Sarasota and its kinda hard to say. But looking at different areas, you can tell that there have been crimes and drug dealers and other things that aren't apporpriate in society. Comparing Sarasota with Miami, its a big, big, difference. I know because i have lived there for all my life and just moved to sarasota in January. So its knid of hard to imagine the crimes that take place here

September 11,2001

THAT DAY WAS A TRAGIC FOR ME. SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 MY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY WENT THERE FORA TRIP IN NEY YORK CITY. AT THE TIME I WAS ABOUT 10 YEARS OLD. IF I CAN REMEMBER THAT DAY, WE AS IN MY PRINCIPAL AND THE PASTOR PASS BY THE TWIN TOWERS AND NOT KNOWING WHAT WILL HAPPEN. AND ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES AFTER, WE HEARD IN OUR T.V IN THE VAN THAT THERE HAS BEEN A TERRIOUS ATTACK AND 1 PLANE JUST CRASHED INTO ONE OF THE TWIN TOWER. AT THE TIME WE WERE SHOCK. OF COURSE WE WERE NOISEY AND WE TURN BACK TO SEE IT FOR OUR SELVES. WE FINNALY GOT THERE AND WE GOT OUT OF THE VAN AND OUR JAWS JUST DROPPED AND WE ACTUALLY WITNESS WHAT HAPPEN. THANK A SECOND PLANE CRASHED INTO THE SECOND TOWER. IF I CAN REMEMBER, ABOUT 20 AFTER THE FIRST ONE CRASHED INTO ONE OF THE TOWER. SO THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE WITHNESSING THE TRAGEDY AND THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE CALLING 9-1-1 AND YOU CAN TELL THAT WHEN YOU CALL YOU CAN HEAR THAT THE LINE WAS BUSY. SO THATS ALL I CAN REMEMBER BUT WE LEFT BEFORE THE TOWER CALLAPSE. SO THAT DAY WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AND ILL WON'T FORGET ALL THE LIVES THAT WERE LOST IN THAT. ALL THE FIREFIGHTERS THAT TRIED TO SAVE LIVES AND NEVER MADE IT BACK BEFORE THE TWIN TOWERS CALLAPS. SO TO ALL THE MEMORY AND THE LOST WILL REMEMBERED

TEEN LIFE

As you can see, teen life is a life that you have enjoy. The reason why I say that is because you dont have to pay a mojor bill, and you dont have to work so hard. The only thing that you have to do is just work hard in school, make in infort to get long with your parents. It can be hard to do that, but it just takes a matter of time. So a teen life is supose to be a happy life. But when you get your self into trouble, your parents will be there with you, but you will pay all your consequences all by your self. Teen life is fun because you have time to go to the movies and go places with your friends and etc. But parents have a hard life. My life as a teen is very enjoyable. I enjoy messing around at school and just come home and just relax and just enjo watching the t.v that my parents hard on. So I think that TEEN LIFE is a good life to live. Some parents will love to be a teen again but thats part of life.

Analysos of Women's Role

The speech in my point of view is base on National Hero and how the leaders are sometimes called upon to honor those who have died for their country or ideals. They honors those who have past away and to show respect to the dead. No matter how the person acted when he/she was alive, you still have to honor and show respect to the dead. Also it talks about having memories of all the heros and heroines and to keep alive the flame.

A Poem Called: Love By: Rodline Rocques(me)

When I lay down to sleep at night,
your face shines in my mind so bright.
From the moment our eyes saw each other,
This has to be right
I knew that we’re meant to be together.
We go on a date at night,
seeing the stars in sky twinkling
and gather together to form a big bright heart.

Thinking about love just makes my heart race-
beat even faster than its normal pace.
Sometimes I sitdown and think of all the good times we had together,
and it makes me wonder if we will last forever.

There are two meanings of love –
One is that love comes from your family members
the second comes from the one who sleeps with you at night
the one who comforts you when you are in trouble and in pain.

Our love is like a red rose that needs sunlight and water to grow.
Our love is way too far for us to turn back now,
But what my Lord showed me from above,
A relationship is what they call love.

Poems by Sappho

1. Of the three Poems that I read, the one that I understsand is the one that titles He Is More Than a Hero. The reason why I chose that Poem is that its telling the truth about God and how he listens. I'm very Happy when I hear the word "God".
3. The first case she describe its that he is saying that human has kind in beauty and etc. The second case is that she describe how God is always there. God sits beside you and how she can hear the sweet murmur of your voice. In my opion, the way he describe the third case is that he is probably describe nature, and how roses leave the shadow on the ground and how cold springs babble through apple branches.
4.The best sentence that best apply to Sappho is the one that says "She appreciate the beauty of nature"; and the second one is"She values intimate moments of friendship".
6. If Sappho poems were to be set of music today, the comtemporary singer I think would do justic is Mry-Mary because she talk and sing about God and also relate to Sappho's poems.

My Life

Only myself knows how my life is. My life is kind of crazy in some way, but with God its spritual. Sometimes I think to myself and say that my life is perfect and when a bad moment comes in my life, I say that my life is not worth living. Life is a thing that you are suppose to enjoy and to experience new and many things.

Writing Option 2

To recall my best teacher that I ever had that had veery good method and getting me excel is my Algebra teacher back in the ninth gra. The reason why I chose my Algebra teacher is because she was different from the all the other Math teachers. One thing that I love is that she had her on way of teaching students and knew how to explain something in her own method. My Algebra teacher made me EXCEL in math and she had me love mathl. Till now i still love Math. Even though there are some times that I get stuck on somethng, I still love it. My teacher was like and different.

Think Through Mahabarta

1. My reaction of Arjuna was that was really the best weapon and that he distinguoshed by his excelent even though the arms drill.

3. The trait that were admire in the ancient India was the

4. My opion on Drona as a teacher is that he seems to be a dangerous teacher. Meaning what he make his students do.
*He answers Arjuna with pressure sometimes.
*The reason why he scold to others is because he wants them to be excelent in what the things he teach.
*The reason why he did not save himself from the crocodile is because he probably wanted the students to see what can happen if you dont fight back. But after that he he threw five arrows and killed the crocodile under water.

5. The reason why parents in Indian tell their children stories is becasue they want them to know the history from India.

6.Well Drona reminds me of one of the ancient movies that they play on telivison but I can't put my finger on the name of the movie.

7.Well based on this story, this lesson has things that I have experience. Based on my opion, I think this fiction

Women Playing Sports

Thinking of women playing sprots is a good thing. To see women on Television playing any type of sports is the best thing for me to see. For example I love basketball and I love watching them playing ball. The reason why is because I, myself is a basketball player and I learn new moves and get tips fron the players in their interview. Also I learn some type of tricks so u can trick one of the players.

The Ancient Literature and People

1. Some differences on the culture of the Mesoptamian is that they had their own ruler, own army,their owen patron deity, along with a towering temple or "ziggurat". The similarites are that they both are ancient and started from years ago.

Egyptian Literature

2. The tone of the book the dead is that it describes Speech and his speech and his speech is very strong and on point. It gives a lot of information. Thetone relates to the situation described in the text because they both talkabout how the person feels.

3.In the Adoration of the disk the speaker thinks that ra should be praised because he brings life to the sun,earth when he leaves everything stops.

4.In im going down stream I think the speaker delights in dreaming of herself standing like a bride because she thinks that Ra will find the one who is rightfor her.

6.The selection that gave me the strongest sence as a speaker is whenever I leave you I go out of breath. It gave me a strong sense because it talks aboutsomeone really caring for another. There saying they don't want to be with outone another. It hurts them to leave them.

7. In ways the to storys are different is because whenever I leave you I go out of breath talks about a women in love with someone.Im going downstream on kings water canal talks about a women wanting to find true love.

8.People of ancient egypt connect with the people of today's attitudes because they both care about every second of there life,and they both care about whenthere's a death.

Greek Culture

1. The religion of the ancient Greek is different from that Jews,Christian and Muslim because the religion of the ancient Greeks had no scared writtings (such as the bible) and no commandments.

Think Through Gilgamesh

1. How did you react when you learn the result of Gilgamesh quest for immorality?
** Well i was not suprise

3. Why can't Gilgamesh accept the fact that human beings die?
** Then reason why Gilgamesh can't accept that human die because he is afraid of death becasue he heard the dream of his friend that had died and he heard that the dream was going to happen after his friend die. So Gilgamesh is afraid that he will go though the same thing that his friend is probably going though.

4. Why do you think the story ends with Gilgamesh proudly showing Urshanabi the city of Uruk?
**I think that Gilgamesh was happy was because he probably saw Urshanbi enjoying looking at the city and he was satified and saw new mysterious and secret things before the flood.

5. **The part that had the strongest effect on Gilgamesh is maybe the part that his friend died because they sent a loin to kill Gillgamesh and his friend and then they both kill the lion so theu had to kill one of them. Either Gilgamesh or his new friend . And they actually chose Gilgamesh friend.

6.How you think the story of Gilgamesh might continue?
** What kind of person-and king- will he be in the future? Well it probably continued by Gilgamesh and Urshanabi when they continue looking at the city and the king probably may be a different person and nice and maybe not afraid of death.

7. In our world today,what are sone different attiudes that people toward death?
** Well my suggestion is that the world take death seriously and thre more emotion that goes on between the family and freinds and other people that is close to one another. And todays world we and others have some respect the the death.

Quest Story: Deja vu

The movie deja vu was an excelent movie for my self. This movie was about a bomb that was set on a New Orleans ferry and there was a big bomb that had set on that day and thousand of people had died in that ferry. There were thousands of lives lost and there were serious burns. Investigator Denzel Washington and other investigator had through an investigation into a shattering crime that was called in to recover evidence after a bomb sets off a cataclysmic explosion on a New Orleans Ferry, Carlin is about to discover that what most people believe is only in their heads is actually something far more powerful – and will lead him on a mind-bending race to save hundreds of innocent people. I also remember in that movie that Denzel went back in time and There was this lady I believe her name was carla and she was kill and Denzel Washington went back in time so he can she who kill her and how she had died. so thats the parts that i had remember from this story.

**Saddem Hussein Execution**

Well I think that he did lots of bab stuff but not him alone. What I think is that Saddem Hussein is a perosn that does't care for the life of ANY human bean. But I'm very concern on the part that the American killed Saddem Hussein. I don't think it was necceary or worth it of taken a life of human bean because it's not right. Even though Saddem and his people killed thousands of people on Setember 11, 2001 there was no reason why american had to kill him.
Saddem Hussein is not an innocent man but they should have place him in a jail for life tills he dies. My point of veiw was that I think the people in iraq of where ever Saddem is form was not pretty happy about that. Im scard for my life because I think that they will get revenge and make America pass though hell. And that my point of view of Saddem Hussein Execution.
