Unit 5: Is it all about the money?

To be honest most people think its all about the money because like now everybody wants to play the lottery because they think if they would win they could bnuy a whole bunch of things that they really want but they really dont look at things like how homeless people need places to go and places to sleep. Like if i was a persont hat had alot of money i would atleast try to help out all of the people on the streets that dont have homes or jobs. So really i think it's really not all about the money i think its mainly about what you do with your money instead of using it all on yourselfes . But like there are stingy people that just think about thereselves and not the people that are hurting . So really it's not all about the money because money comes and goes.

Assignment 8 2nd poem


Amputation being performed in a hospital tent, Gettysburg, July 1863

I see fear I see near
I see people I see clear
Amputation is always near
Amputation is always full of fear

Lies between fears
Lies between near
Lies between gods
My name is fear

Imagine life without walking
My fear is always near
My life under a tent
Full of fear but will always stay near
Let’s pray let’s imagine life without walking

More fear more tears
My life is always near and full of fear
I close my eyes think of fear but at the end

I see fear
I see near
I see life
I see clear

Assignment 8: Civil War Perspectives- Blog Post



33Freedmen's School Poem

33 young children
33 young lives as they wait for freedom
They starve they crave they mourn
33 young children wanting freedom

33 young lives wait for freedom
33 young children want to read
33 young children want freedom
They just want equal opportunities
Equal rights, equal rights to vote

Freedmen school 33 young children that need help
33 children that look for hope, pride
And opportunities like other white children
33 young children
33 young lives as they wait for freedom

Freedom as one priority
Freedom for slaves
Freedom for all blacks
33 young lives that want houses
33 young children that want nice clothes
33 people and children that need help
