43 barbara padilla history map of u.s.
1. Original 13 states [1776]The original 13 colonies are formed when the United States declared independence. Once they formed the declaration of independence they became their own country.
2. Treaty of Paris [1783]The treaty of Paris was signed by the U.S. and British Representatives on September 3, 1783, ending the War of the American Revolution. Based on a1782 preliminary treaty, the agreement recognized U.S. independence and granted the U.S. significant western territory. The 1783 Treaty was one of a series of treaties signed at Paris in 1783 that also established peace between Great Britain and the allied nations of France, Spain, and the Netherlands.
3. Louisiana purchase [1803]The United States needed New Orleans because of the port there, but when Napoleon controlled Louisiana we feared that he might stop shipping and close the port to New Orleans. Then, the United States decided to offer to buy New Orleans, but Napoleon offered to sell all of Louisiana for only 15 million
4. Ceded by Spain [1819]The United States were having troubles with Florida because their Indians were invading our land and our run-away slaves would be accepted by the Indians. Then General Andrew Jackson invaded Florida illegally and Florida got disturbed. The United States then got Monroe to tell Florida to govern their state or get out, and they decided to get out.
5. Texas annexation [1845]Texas became a separate section of Mexico and Moses Austin was told to bring in American families that were willing to become Mexican citizens and convert to Catholics. They became the old 300 because Moses Austin got 297 families to live there. Then when Moses dies his son Stephen arrived, just as Mexico declared independence. But the success of Austin’s colony created a conflict because then a rush of settlers went to Texas. They came into Texas with the idea of not becoming a citizen and not following any of the circumstances that Moses had made with Mexico. Then some Texans wanted to revolt while others wanted asked to make Texas a separate Mexican state. After they threw Austin in jail for planning a revolt, though he only went to talk to the Mexican government, the Texans revolted. Then there was a big battle at the Alamo and all of the Texans died. This caused the other Texans to rise from the fall and once again fight! Then Texas declared independence and after a while, they wanted to become a part of the United States. This made Mexico upset. But the united state still annexed Texas.
6. Oregon territory [1846]The Oregon Territory stretched from the Pacific coast to the Rocky Mountains and four nations Claimed Oregon. Spain was the first to drop, but a few later in 1825 Russia agreed to limits is claim to the territory that lay north of the 54˚40’ parallel of latitude. Many American settlers liked the Oregon land and used the Oregon Trail, so Oregon was of great use to the untied states. When Polk ran for president he used the slogan “all of Oregon or none!” but in the end, we neither got half or none of Oregon, Polk didn’t want Oregon enough to risk war with Great Britain, so they agreed to a compromise treaty that divided Oregon roughly in half at the 49th parallel.
7. Mexican cession [1848]When America annexed Texas, Mexico and the U.S. relationship got a little rough. When the Mexicans and Americans could not agree on a border for Texas, the Mexican shot Americans patrolling the Rio Grande and both places considered that an act of war. During the war between Mexico and the United States, a group of Americans led by explorer John C. Fremont launched a rebellion against the Mexican rule in California. The Americans were able to capture and arrest General Mariana Guadalupe Vallejo the Mexican commander of Northern California. The Americans were able to fight their way through Mexico to the capital, Mexico City. But despite the resistance they went through, the Americans captured Mexico City in 1847. Then in 1848 Mexico and the United States signed the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo agreeing to give up Texas and an immense amount of land known as the Mexican cession. In the agreement the United States agreed to protect the Mexicans living in the newly obtained states.
A few years later in 1853 James Gadsden arranged the purchase of a strip of land just south of the Mexican cession for railroad builders because the land was considered a good place for railroads. This was called the Gadsden Purchase. Another thing to know was that the six cadets that died fighting for Mexico are known as Los Niños Héroes or as the heroic children they’d rather die fighting than surrender.

THIRTEEN ORIGINAL COLONIES:
When we came to the United States of America we had thirteen colonies but we had to be paying taxes to Britain but we got fed up so we decided to come independent. Then we didn’t want France to boss us around and many other countries so we decided that we wanted to get rid of them.
CEDED BY SPAIN:
Spain gave it up. In 1819 Spain decided to yield Florida to the United States. Jackson marched into Florida and replaced the governor.
LOUSSIANA PURCHASE:
The United States saw it as a great opportunity to expand. Jefferson sent Monroe to France to make a bargain with Napoleon for Louisiana. A few years earlier there was a peasant revolt so Napoleon no longer needed Louisiana.
ADDED AS A RESULT OF TREATY WITH PARIS:
After the American Revolution because of the thirteen colonies it was just added.
TEXAS ANNEXATION:

16 eliza- Carl Sandburg's "voice"
Carl Sandburg is an observer. He observes little things and sees them with a big imagination, like in Margaret: he looks into her blue eyes but saw a blue pool. Or in Fog: he sees fog creep up, unnoticed, until its actually arrived, like little cat's feet.
Sandburg is very in the box but hes a very detailed poet. His poems are very normal, realistic, but his word choice makes the emotion deep and rough. The emotion that he is trying to display in your mind is loud and clear. Sometimes you can relate to the poem and that only makes the words more vivid to you.

How to Read a Poem
Introduction
To read a poem the first thing you need to know is that poems aren't aways what they seem, such as a art, to get the full meanig or picture you are going to need to look at it more then once.
it also helps to read a poem out loud ecause in your mind word could gt mixed up or some what transleted to a false meaning. An other important thing to about poems are stanzas their tittle may make them seemm complicatated ut they are simpy how th poem is organized like paragraphs to an essay
Repetition
Repetition is when a phrase or phrases are repeated. The most common reason word phrases are repeated is because the poet wants the phrase to really get into the readers head. Repetition can really be useful, because it might help you find the theme or message of the poem by pointing out what is important. An example of this is Jack Frost were he writes “ and miles to go before I sleep and miles to go before I sleep” which simply ment he has a long time to g before he dies.
Imagery
Imagery is basically when the peot tries to put a picture or pictures into your head. It actuly dosen't even have to be a visal picture. It could be taste, smell, hearing,or feeling. do you rememeber as kid when to th library,they had children books with buttons that made noises or patches of fur glued on to the card board pages
Metaphor
A metephor is when a poet is saying somthing that means some diffrent then what he is actualy saying.(weird Huh?)I am not positve on the comeplete meaning of a metaphor, actuly i think metaphors are exsist to help explain meannig or to entertain the reader by giving them somthing to figure out other wise a poem would seem extremely boring . if you would be able to find a poem without a metaphor it would defenetly be a very odd poem
Rhythm,
rhymeI am not sure ryhming is when the writing seems to blend together.iF a peom you would read a poem with out ryhming you would probly notice each sentance better but if there was was you would get the big iddeathe best example would be i wil not eat green eggs and ham sam i am by dr suess
Theme/message
the theme is what the poem whole poem is about. this the main reason a poem is writen
wlliam carlos williams
In a majority of william carlos williams poems he seems to talk about diffrent types of sensations or feelings. He talks about them by comparing them to other situation such as flying for happiness wich is some obious. other times it isn't so obuois . such as the poem A Sort Of Songwich he wrought in his own way how to write a poem. in this poem he seemed to be annoyed by recent songs of his times content.

'Twas the apple that in Eden
Caused our father's primal fall;

She's the apple of my eye.

Sympathy
I know what the caged bird feels,
alas! When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals
-- I know what the caged bird feels!
I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting--
I know why he beats his wing!
I know why the caged bird sings,
ah me, When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,
-- When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings
-- I know why the caged bird sings!
Paul Laurence Dunbar

Caused our father's primal fall;

For I want to tell my darling
She's the apple of my eye.

Sympathy
I know what the caged bird feels,
alas! When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals
-- I know what the caged bird feels!
I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting--
I know why he beats his wing!
I know why the caged bird sings,
ah me, When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,
-- When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings
-- I know why the caged bird sings!
Paul Laurence Dunbar

This Is Just To Say
1) I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving for breakfast.
Forgive me
they were so delicious sweet
and so cold.
Peace On Earth
2) The Archer is wake!
The Swan is flying!
Gold against blue
An Arrow is lying.
There is hunting in heaven—
Sleep safe till tomorrow.
The Bears are abroad!
The Eagle is screaming!
Gold against blue
Their eyes are gleaming!
Sleep! Sleep safe till tomorrow.
The Sisters lie
With their arms intertwining;
Gold against blue
Their hair is shining!
The Serpent writhes!
Orion is listening!
Gold against blue
His sword is glistening!
Sleep!
There is hunting in heaven—
Sleep safe till tomorrow.
Waiting
3)When I am alone I am happy.
The air is cool.
The sky is
flecked and splashed and wound
with color. The crimson phalloi
of the sassafras leaves
hang crowded before me in shoals
on the heavy branches.
When I reach my doorstep I
am greeted by the happy
shrieks of my children and my heart sinks.
I am crushed.
Are not my children
as dear to me as falling
leaves or must one become
stupid to grow older?
It seems much as if Sorrow
had tripped up my heels.
Let us see, let us see!
What did I plan to say to
her when it should happen
to me as it has happened now?
Dawn
4)Ecstatic bird songs pound
the hollow vastness of the
sky with metallic clinkings--
beating color up into it at a far edge,--
beating it, beating it with rising,
triumphant ardor,--
stirring it into warmth,
quickening in it a spreading change,--
bursting wildly against it as
dividing the horizon,
a heavy sun lifts himself--
is lifted--
bit by bit above the edge of things,
--runs free at last out into the open--!
lumbering glorified in full release upward--
songs cease.
Love Song
5) I lie here thinking of you:---
the stain of love
is upon the world!
Yellow, yellow, yellow
it eats into the leaves,
smears with saffron
the horned branched the lean
heavily
against a smooth purple sky!
There is no lightonly a honey-
thick stain
that drips from leaf to leaf
and limb to limb
spoiling the colors
of the whole world-
you far off there underthe wine-
red selvage of the west!

How to Read a Poem
Introduction
When you read a poem, you carefully read it either out loud or to yourself. If you don’t understand the poem, read it again. This is called re-reading. When your reading a poem, you’ll see that there are little paragraph like stanza. Stanzas do the same job as paragraphs do.
Repetition
A repetition is when a line from a poem repeats throughout the poem. A repetition helps you understand the poem by basically showing you what the theme of the poem is. An example of a repetition from a poem is from The Road Not Taken by: Robert Frost. In the poem he says, “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood” He wrote this line twice in the poem.
Imagery
Imagery is when the poet describes something with a lot of great details to the point where you can see the picture in your head. Imagery really helps in poems because you understand what the poet’s trying to show you. An example of this is from the poem, Fog, by: Carl Sandburg. “The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on.”
Metaphor
A metaphor is when the poet writes a line, but it means something else. When reading a poem you should know what the metaphors mean or else you’ll think the poem means one thing, but it means something far off from that. Here’s an example, “Crystal stairs” This is compared to life, though through the poem, the poet says there are rough things on them. So their saying life is uneasy and rough. It’s also saying to be prepared.
Rhythm, rhyme
A regular rhythm is when there’s a beat to the poem. When the rhythm is irregular rhythm is when it doesn’t have a continuous beat. Rhyming helps the beat a little bit by keeping it almost like a song, making the sound flow. When there no rhyme it’s more like a story. A poem example is from the poem, Annabel Lee by: Edgar Allen Poe.
Theme/message
A theme is the message in a poem. This is important because you will understand what the poet is telling you about a milestone or point in life this happened to them. It’s also important because it’s a moral you should follow.

So Bashful by: Emily Dickinson
So bashful when I spied her,
So pretty, so ashamed!
So hidden in her leaflets,
Lest anybody find;
So breathless till I passed her,
So helpless when I turned
And bore her, struggling, blushing,
Her simple haunts beyond!
For whom I robbed the dingle,
For whom betrayed the dell,
Many will doubtless ask me,
But I shall never tell!
1. What words or phrases are repeated? Why does the poet repeat these words?
There aren’t any.
2. What images (using any of the five senses) does the poet use.
Spied, so pretty, so bashful, so breathless till passed her.
3. Explain the metaphors.
She betrayed the valley, meaning she’s letting down others.
4. Is there a regular rhythm? Is there regular rhyme? How do rhythm and/or rhyme affect the poem?
Yes, the poem has a constant rhyme, so this gives the poem a rhythm.
5. What is the theme or message of the poem? Use text examples from each stanza.
The theme is she’s very shy and she lets down others. She also struggles in life for being shy.

Heel & Toe To The End
Gagarin says, in ecstasy,
he could have gone on forever
he floated at and sang
and when he emerged from that one hundred eight minutes
off the surface of the earth
he was smiling. Then he returned to take his place among the rest of us
from all that division and subtraction
a measure to and heel
heel and toe he felt as if he had been dancing

16 eliza How to Read a Poem.
Introduction: When you read a poem you don't read it the way you read a book. You read each line carefully, aloud, and more than once. Instead of paragraphs a poem has stanzas. Each stanza has a different picture–like a paragraph.
Repetition: Repetition is when a metaphor or a word is said more than once. Repetition always has something to do with the theme or message, or it just helps you understand the poem better. Like Robert Frost: "And miles to go before i sleep. And miles to go before I sleep."
Imagery: It is when the poet paints a picture in your mind using the five senses. The picture painted in your head helps you understand the poem by you seeing, feeling, hearing, tasting, and smelling what the poet is experiencing with his five senses. Like Carl Sandburg: "The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent hutches and then moves on."
Metaphors: A metaphor is a word that has a different meaning behind the ones your reading. You have to think outside the box to get what the poet is trying to say. Robert Frost uses his in a very complex way: "And miles to go before I sleep," it means that he has responsibilities, and things to do before he dies, so he doesn't give up to rest...he keeps on going.
Rhythm and Rhyme: Regular rhythm is when it flows, when the words go together like a puzzle. Irregular rhythm is when it doesn't flow, its more straight forward. Rhyming makes the poem flow, and it gives it a little note of something depending on what the words are telling you. Like Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe.
Theme/Message: The theme or message in a poem is what the poet is really trying to say behind the metaphors. Its important to know the theme or message because if you don't know it, you don't know the poem at all.
Repetition: Repetition is when a metaphor or a word is said more than once. Repetition always has something to do with the theme or message, or it just helps you understand the poem better. Like Robert Frost: "And miles to go before i sleep. And miles to go before I sleep."

19 Christian--How to Read a Poem
Introduction
First you have to look at the title and then the headings. After you read the poem you have to re-read and re-read again. The paragraph in each poem is not called a poem, it’s called a stanza.
Repetition
Repetition is when something repeats again and again. A poem helps you understand a poem by repeating because when something repeats it helps you remember. For example,
I've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human body in human veins.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young.
I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.
I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it.
I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln wentdown to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy bosom turn all golden in the sunset.
I've known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
Imagery
Imagery is when you can see an image in your head that you get from either hearing something or reading something. Imagery helps you understand a poem by giving you images of the poem so you can see a little movie in your head and have the script in your hands.

My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
Metaphor
A metaphor is a comparison of the real thing. Also a metaphor is something that says something but means something completely different. for example,"I have you rapped around my finger."Metaphors help you understand a poem by seeing what the metaphors mean in the poets perspective.
I would liken you
To a night without stars
Were it not for your eyes.
I would liken you
To sleep without dreams
Were it not for your songs.
Rhyth, rhyme
Regular rhyme makes the poem flow and irregular makes the poem choppy. No rhyme doesn’t make the poem bad, but it doesn’t make it better either. The rhythm and rhyme make the poem flow because a poem without rhythm is like a song with out a beat.
Theme/message
The theme/message in a poem is like the whole poem summarized. which is kind of like a metaphor turned into a literall thing. It's important because if you don't have the them/message then you don't get the poem at all.

How to Read a Poem
Introduction
when you first start to read a poem you look at each stanza carefully and evaluate the unimportant words and with the other words you order them in the right order.
Repetition
when words repeat that usually means that they have something to do with the message.
Imageryif you look at words that are like: smell the flowers, that is an image.
Metaphor
if for instant you took: crystal stairs = the easy road to take in life, splintery stairs = the hard road in life.
Rhythm, rhyme
if you put: my name is Marie,
I climbed a tree,
I ate my apple pie,
Then I reached for the sky.
That is a rhyme with rhythm.
Theme/message
the message has everything to do with the poem. If it weren’t for a message you wouldn’t understand the poem. A message is like a bud you can see what it is on the outside, but you don’t know if the flower is going to be pretty or ugly. Just like a message can be bad or good.

Miracles
WHY! who makes much of a miracle?As to me, I know of nothing else but miracles,Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan,Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky,Or wade with naked feet along the beach, just in the edge of thewater,Or stand under trees in the woods,Or talk by day with any one I love-- Or sit at a table at dinner with my mother,Or look at strangers opposite me riding in the car,Or watch honey-bees busy around the hive, of a summer forenoon, 10Or animals feeding in the fields,Or birds--or the wonderfulness of insects in the air,Or the wonderfulness of the sun-down--or of stars shining so quietand bright,Or the exquisite, delicate, thin curve of the new moon in spring;Or whether I go among those I like best, and that like me best--mechanics, boatmen, farmers,Or among the savans--or to the soiree--or to the opera,Or stand a long while looking at the movements of machinery,Or behold children at their sports,Or the admirable sight of the perfect old man, or the perfect oldwoman,Or the sick in hospitals, or the dead carried to burial, 20Or my own eyes and figure in the glass;These, with the rest, one and all, are to me miracles,The whole referring--yet each distinct, and in its place.To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,Every cubic inch of space is a miracle,Every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with thesame,Every foot of the interior swarms with the same;Every spear of grass--the frames, limbs, organs, of men and women,and all that concerns them,All these to me are unspeakably perfect miracles.To me the sea is a continual miracle; 30The fishes that swim--the rocks--the motion of the waves--the ships,with men in them,What stranger miracles are there?

1) My life closed twice before its close
It yet remains to seeIf Immortality unveil
A third event to me,
So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
As these that twice befell.Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell
2) Walk and touch peace every moment.
Walk and touch happiness every moment.
Each step brings a fresh breeze.
Each step makes a flower bloom.
Kiss the Earth with your feet.
Bring the Earth your love and happiness.
The Earth will be safe
when we feel safe in ourselves.
3) I died for beauty but was scarce
Adjusted in the tomb,
When one who died for truth was lain
In an adjoining room.
He questioned softly why I failed?
"For beauty," I replied.
"And I for truth,--the two are one;
We brethren are," he said.
And so, as kinsmen met a night,
We talked between the rooms,
Until the moss had reached our lips,
And covered up our names.
4) I had no time to hate, because
The grave would hinder me,
And life was not so ample I
Could finish enmity.
Nor had I time to love, but since
Some industry must be,
The little toil of love, I thought,
Was large enough for me
5) It was not death, for I stood up,
And all the dead lie down;
It was not night, for all the bells
Put out their tongues, for noon.
It was not frost, for on my flesh
I felt siroccos crawl,--
Nor fire, for just my marble feet
Could keep a chancel cool.
And yet it tasted like them all;
The figures I have seen
Set orderly, for burial,
Reminded me of mine,
As if my life were shaven
And fitted to a frame,
And could not breathe without a key;
And 't was like midnight, some,
When everything that ticked has stopped,
And space stares, all around,
Or grisly frosts, first autumn morns,
Repeal the beating ground.
But most like chaos,--stopless, cool,--
Without a chance or spar,--
Or even a report of land
To justify despair.
It yet remains to seeIf Immortality unveil
A third event to me,
So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
As these that twice befell.Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell
2) Walk and touch peace every moment.

Could keep a chancel cool.
And yet it tasted like them all;
The figures I have seen
Set orderly, for burial,
Reminded me of mine,
As if my life were shaven
And fitted to a frame,
And could not breathe without a key;
And 't was like midnight, some,
When everything that ticked has stopped,
And space stares, all around,
Or grisly frosts, first autumn morns,
Repeal the beating ground.
But most like chaos,--stopless, cool,--
Without a chance or spar,--
Or even a report of land
To justify despair.

Love Is
Some people forget that love is tucking you in and kissing you "Good night" no matter how young or old you are
Some people don't remember that love is listening and laughing and asking questions no matter what your age
Few recognize that love is commitment, responsibility no fun at all unless
Love is You and me
1: love is
2: someone being tucked into bed.
3: it’s pretty up in your face.
4: it stops
5: love is everywhere when your mom is tucking you in “good night” or when your with the person that you love.
rain is god's sperm falling in the receptive woman how else to spend a rainy day other than with you seeking sun and stars and heavenly bodies how else to spend a rainy day other than with you
1: rainy day
2: rain pouring down nature growing.
3: rain
4: it’s fast.
5:that God sends the rain to help things grow and reproduce.
when i die i hope no one who ever hurt me cries and if they cry i hope their eyes fall out and a million maggots that had made up their brains crawl from the empty holes and devour the flesh that covered the evil that passed itself off as a person that i probably tried to love
1: I hope
2: bugs crawling out of someone
3: maggots evil
4: it’s slow
And it gives me the creeps!!!
5: she hated the people that didn’t like her because she tried to give them a chance but they just threw it away.
CHOICES
If i can't do what i want to do then my job is to not do what i don't want to do
It's not the same thing but it's the best i can do
If i can't have what i want . . . then my job is to want what i've got and be satisfied that at least there is something more to want
Since i can't go where i need to go . . . then i must . . . go where the signs point through always understanding parallel movement isn't lateral
When i can't express what i really feel i practice feeling what i can express and none of it is equal
I know but that's why mankind alone among the animals learns to cry
1: if I can’t
2: signs pointing in the direction, things I want to have
3: there aren’t really any metaphors
4: it stops
5: that even though we want things and wanna do things we have to be satisfied with what we can do. Since i can't go where i need to go
Sky Diving
I hang on the edge of this universe singing off-key talking too loud embracing myself to cushion the fall
I shall tumble into deep space never in this form or with this feeling to return to earth
It is not tragic
I will spiral through that Black hole losing skin limbs internal organs searing my naked soul
Landing in the next galaxy with only my essence embracing myself as
I dream of you
1: none
2: someone flying someone dying
3: black hole
4: it stops
5: it’s like dying but you aren’t afraid because you know that you’re going somewhere special.

Poem (as a cat)
As the cat climbed over
the top of the jamcloset
first the right forefoot
care fully then
the hind stepped down into the pit ofthe empty
flowerpot
william carlos williams
1. What phrases are repeated? None
2. What images (visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory)?
3. Explain metaphors. I’m not sure exactly but I do know that in some way this poem is trying to relate to the events of a cat
4. What rhythm or rhyme scheme does the poem have? How does this affect meaning? None, because the poet wants you to stop and think about every line.
5. What is the theme or message of the poem? Give text examples from each stanza. I am not sure, maybe it has some ting to do with the first step (you should be careful) to get to your goals, (like the cat carefully taking its first step into the jamcloset. I have inferred that the jamcloset is some were people store dry goods which the cat might have smelled and is trying to get to. His goals basically.)

19 Christian--Life is Fine
I went down to the river,
I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn't,
So I jumped in and sank.
I came up once and hollered!
I came up twice and cried!
If that water hadn't a-been so cold
I might've sunk and died.
But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!
I took the elevator
Sixteen floors above the ground.
I thought about my baby
And thought I would jump down.
I stood there and I hollered!
I stood there and I cried!
If it hadn't a-been so high
I might've jumped and died.
But it was High up there! It was high!
So since I'm still here livin',
I guess I will live on.
I could've died for love--
But for livin' I was born
Though you may hear me holler,
And you may see me cry--
I'll be dogged, sweet baby,
If you gonna see me die.
Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!

5. What is the theme or message of the poem? Use text examples from each stanza.

6. Write you reaction (what you liked or didn't like, agreed or disagreed with)
- I liked how Langston really repeated so the audience could remember more and I also liked how he really put the poem of how the message should be.

After a hundred years Nobody knows the place,--Agony, that enacted there,Motionless as peace. Weeds triumphant ranged,Strangers strolled and spelled At the lone orthography Of the elder dead. Winds of summer fields Recollect the way,--Instinct picking up the key Dropped by memory.
1. no repeated words
2. weeds triumphant ranged, strangers strolled and spelled.
3. instinct picking up the key: means how fast your instincts react to something important. motionless as peace: it is quiet and still like peace. Dropped by memory: is like something bad happened because of you memory.
4. there is no rhythm or rhyme
5. she explain her theory of hundred years from now
6. I like the poem I love the words she uses
I died for beauty but was scarce Adjusted in the tomb,When one who died for truth was lain In an adjoining room. He questioned softly why I failed?"For beauty," I replied."And I for truth,--the two are one;We brethren are," he said. And so, as kinsmen met a night,We talked between the rooms,Until the moss had reached our lips,And covered up our names.
1. “died” that word is repeated cause she is saying that she will DIE for beauty
2. he questioned softly why I failed, we talked between the rooms, until the moss had reached or lips, and covered up or names
3. in a adjoining room
4. there is no rhythm or rhyme
5. she thinks she is ugly and wants to die for beauty but there is a man who loves her
6.the poem is alright I think it showed have more rhythm and rhyme
A door just opened on a street--
I, lost, was passing by--
An instant's width of warmth disclosed
And wealth, and company.
The door as sudden shut, and I,
I, lost, was passing by,--
Lost doubly, but by contrast most,
Enlightening misery.
1. "door" "lost" she explains about a do opening and closing and she lost something
2. "A door just opened on a street" " the door as sudden shut"
3.And wealth,and company: means the important things in life, A door just opened on a street: means she lost something good
4. there is a little rhythm
5. when you do something bad you loose something when you do something goo you gain something good
6.i like how she used the open and closed door as a metaphor
Ample make this bed.
Make this bed with awe;
In it wait till judgment break
Excellent and fair.
Be its mattress straight,
Be its pillow round;
Let no sunrise' yellow noise
Interrupt this ground.
1. "bed" she is saying make my bed good
2. "ample make this bed" "make this bed with awe"
3. be its mattress straight: guide me thought the night, be its pillow round: comfort me thought the night
4. there is rhyme in the 2nd stanza
5. Guide me though the rest of my life
6.the only thing i didn't get was the part where she said "be its mattress straight"
A long, long sleep, a famous sleep
That makes no show for dawn
By strech of limb or stir of lid, --
An independent one.
Was ever idleness like this?
Within a hut of stone
To bask the centuries away
Nor once look up for noon?

Death sets a thing
1 fingers .because the fingers are being used
2death the eye perished creature crayon heavy stitches dust shelves tears
3death is bad .and a dead creature. to work a little . rest feels good .
4 yes .it affects because it makes the poem sound better
5death aint good and rest is good .
6 I liked it because its like death is calming its like rest
Death sets a thing significantThe eye had hurried by,Except a perished creatureEntreat us tenderly To ponder little workmanshipsIn crayon or in wool,With "This was last her fingers did,"Industrious until The thimble weighed too heavy,The stitches stopped themselves,And then 't was put among the dustUpon the closet shelves. A book I have, a friend gave,Whose pencil, here and there,Had notched the place that pleased him,--At rest his fingers are. Now, when I read, I read not,For interrupting tearsObliterate the etchingsToo costly for repairs.
The only ghost
The only ghost I ever sawWas dressed in Mechlin, --so;He wore no sandal on his foot,And stepped like flakes of snow.His gait was soundless, like the bird,But rapid, like the roe;His fashions quaint, mosaic,Or, haply, mistletoe. His conversation seldom,His laughter like the breezeThat dies away in dimplesAmong the pensive trees.Our interview was transient, --Of me, himself was shy;And God forbid I look behind
Since that appalling day
1 like his and . so he can make better phrases
2ghost no sandal mistletoe laughter trees god day
3quiet while he walks .he was like silence. looking mosaic . laughing dies away lie the wind do look back at all to the past or don’t remember the past
4 yes . it makes it sound like what it is meant for .
