Grey… Jace chadwick Speaker: The speaker in "Grey. . . " is someone who doesn't feel alive anymore. Occasion: He or she starts to see things in a neutral way as if it doesn't make a difference like it might have once. Audience: The poem might seem like it is directed towards someone she loves or someone who can make her feel better, but really it is directed at people who are like her. People who feel the same way as her can really relate to her and they would get along just fine together. Purpose: The author wants the reader to know what he/she feels and wants to reassure herself that she isn't the only one. Subject: The general topic in this piece is that the author isn't feeling very happy all the time. S/he doesn't like to think of everything as something nice and important and wants someone to comfort her and tell her that things like that happen sometime. Tone: The author sort of refuses to try to be happy and doesn't like the way things are for her. I relate to this poem because I write poems like this one all the time. The theme of this poem is “This is how I feel”. This poem might seem like it is meant for people who are understanding and who can know what she feels, but it is really directed towards people who are just like her. Her audience is made up of the same kind of people as her. I relate to both the audience and the speaker. All I see is grey water , grey people I've become so familiar with the color grey trees , grey grass I'm so scared of when I open my eyes I wont know what the other colors look like grey someone please help me before all I can see is black. . .

1962: US spaceman orbits Earth Text to Self: I chose this article because my father always wanted to be an astronomer. Anything that has to do with space interests him and me both. We love to know about the latest space news just as much as you would want to know when summer starts. I like things that have to do with the void around our planet. Text to Text: I remember that once I had read a poem in Language Arts about an alien coming to earth and thinking that the cars on the highways were the creatures that lived on this planet. It was funny because the alien seemed so oblivious to the fact that the "brains" in the cars could walk around on their own without their "bodies". Text to World: Even today we dream about things that we can't do yet. Everyday scientists are working on finding more about space and other space life. Things like this happen all the time. For example, just recently NASA launched their last shuttle into space. 1962: US spaceman orbits Earth The first American to orbit the Earth has landed safely in the Atlantic Ocean. Marine Lieutenant John Glenn, 40, travelled about 81, 000 miles (more than 130, 000 km) as he circled the globe three times at more than 17, 000 mph (27, 000 kph). Lieutenant Glenn controlled nearly two of the orbits himself after reporting "minor difficulties" with the automatic altitude control system as he completed the third circuit - the maximum anticipated. Messages from the astronaut were transmitted by radio stations across the United States and United Kingdom and his progress was monitored by 18 ground stations around the world. As he re-entered the atmosphere after his four-hour and 56 -minute journey Lieutenant Glenn said: "Boy, that was a real fireball. " His spacecraft, Friendship Seven, landed at 2040 GMT 240 miles north-west of Puerto Rico, where it was picked up by the US destroyer Noa. Altogether, 24 American ships were ready to pick up the astronaut and his craft from various locations across the globe.

What are my plans for the future? I’m more honest than most people might

What are my plans for the future? I’m more honest than most people might think. I tell the truth and express what’s on my mind. These are my answers to the questions I have to answer. Honestly, I don’t have any. Personally I believe that everyday is a chance for dying (not that I want to). Right this very moment you are reading this, someone could barge in the door and shoot us all. Someone could place a bomb outside the school and kill us without mercy. Why would someone do something like that? I don’t know. Ask them. But planning ahead is just saying that you know for sure that you will live until that time comes. No one knows that for sure. People die everyday. But if I had to find an answer to the question above, I’d say that I’d be a writer. A programmer. An app developer. Anything. I don’t know, really. I might be an astronomer. I might be anything. How will what I do change the world? It won’t. The world doesn’t change. The thought of it does. That’s just me being honest. Thank you.
