Dulce et Decorum Est
The united states of american has lost many soliders in the war, and will keep on lossing them if we dont stop these. They have turn the death into an honorble thing; making it an honor to die for your country, when in reality it isnt solider dont decided to die for there coutry they have to because its the law to serve. Who would really want to end his or her life when they have just begun. I really admore them because if they werent there for us who would be there? But like this story states it it something they dont choose to do but they have to do.

The Guard at the Binh Thuy Bridge
A guard in a bridge is order to shoot everything that passes by, he see a women in a small boats get closer, he aim his gun at her and in a second react to what his doing. He drops his gun and can't believe what his doing he was about to shoot an innocent lady for no reason. I think a man behind a gun becomes a totally different person as if the power of a gun seem to take over people making them fell invincible. I dont know how we can decided in a split of a second shoot someone with out feeling guilty.
On Not Shoplifting Louise Bogan's The Blue Estuaries
A girl falls in love with book she find in the college book store, it's an ordinary book nothing special about it. Like every other college student we are all broke, that's where the dilemma starts when she thinks about stealing the book because she really wants it. The picture in the book of two white doves, represent to her purity which she think she would stain the moment she leaves the store with it. That is her conscious speaking out to her, we all have gone throw that stage where we want to do something that cant be either against the law. I think when we reach to the point of stealing something we end up lossing a part of ourself.

A noiseless Patient Spider
It is said that patient is a virtual, we tend to lose ourselves in society. When are soul get lost are bodies are of no use, It is said that spirit is what keeps us humans alive and are body moving. In A Noiseless Patient Spider we read about a human comparing his soul to a spider. In the sense of if he were more patient with his life, he wouldn'tÂt be lost, and would be able to enjoy things the way that spider does, just launching filaments and making webs. I can relate because lately I've have lost my patient in driving I've become an aggressivee driver. Time has converted me to a person i dont even know how to describe.

Fishin' 4 Religion
A guy radar go fishing and do nothing then to church. That something I can somewhat relate to, because I'm not a big fan of church I will be honest I remember when I was young I would fall asleep hearing the pastor talk and talk for about 2 hours. I wonder if that's a sin; I mean I believe in god and have read the Bible about 5 times in my hole life I know the story but why do I have to go to church to hear it when I can anytime I want I just have to pick up the Bible and read. Don't get me wrong I respect the church and would never talk bad about it in any way; I plan to get married in a church dress all in white one day. To me I just not fair for me to go on Sunday when I'm not feeling it, dont you think?
Revised Research
For the past couple of weeks I've gone back and fort trying to find information to do my research project on. Stigmata has been something I've been interested in sense I first watch the movie but I've been trying to look into it with no luck. I haven't been able to find much on it just what it is, I tried looking up cases of people to get a better understand but that hasn't help me much. So instend of going insane I decided to do it on something else, it was a coincidence that one night flipping the channels the movie JACK starting Robin William was on. Watching it made me want to look up if there was such a an aging disease. Let see if this works...

Rapture
In this poem the writer Galway Kinnell describes how he sees his women body. The way he describes every inch of her body as if he worships it. Could this poem be cause by the moment that inspired him to write. The human body is a beautiful thing that should treasure because its something that natures make in different way there is no two bodies that look alike not even in twin they always have something that distinguish them from the other. It's a beautiful poem, how would it be if you describe a mens body?
Homage to My Hips
Looking more in these poem I find out that Lucille Clifton is black; and has a little extra weight around her. In the poem she goes on to talk about a part of a women body which she controls, the hips. In the poem she manifest the hips as a celebration of beauty in our bodies, the confidence it bring to our lives because if we think about it our bodies introduce us when we first walk in a room. She tries to states that it doesn't matter what size you are, as long as you just work with out you got, because when people see that confidence you bring out they look at you in a different way.

Samuel
When we are young most of all tend to get out of hand especially boy, they joke around all the time and basically act like jerk mostly, when they around there friends trying to show off. There are people who take that type of behavior fine but other get annoyed. In these case the four boy happened to trigger a nerve in one of the citizens and he "accidental" pulled the emergency cord in the train, because the boys where joking around not in there sits. One of them lost control and fell head firstto be crushed up. Everyone has a dark side where situation make you bring out that bad side where you imagine yourself doing something to harm another person. We all tend to hold it in as just a mental picture in your mind but other loose that control and thats what happened in this story, they lost control.
Antigone
Antigone did want she felt was right; buried her brother so that his spirit could rest in peace. I mean family is the number one thing in everyone's life I believe. Which makes it a normal form of reaction, one would do anything for ones family. When you are passionate about something you want to accomplish, in the back of your mind you accept the consequence it will bring. If I was in the same position she was in I wouldn't care if I die because the love for family overcomes all the obstacles. I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing i didnt even try to do something, and that must of been how Antigone felt.

O Brother, Where Art Thou?
George Clooney, John Turturro, and Tim Blake Nelson play the parts of Evertt, Pete and Delmar three friends who are fugitives that escape from prison and there journey. Everett the head of the group fools the guys by telling them that they are heading to recovered a buried treasure, which later we find out that there is no treasure, and that he just want to go back to his wife and 7 children before she marries again and losses her for good. When this movie first came out in the theaters it never really caught my eye, because its not my type of movie, but now that I so it. I was taught a lesson to never jugde something with out first giving it a try. In a funny way they have powerful themes like religion, racism, and change. Pete and Delmar both really believe in religion and when they were Baptist they believe that they were reborn again. We also have racisim where the sence of the Ku Klux Klan capture a men of color and try to burn him alive. It's a very good movie that i have to watch again.
