adult and to stay true to yourself. This poem uses a lot of
personification to help it make it intresting. the author of this poem
is named Rudyard Kipling, he wrote many poems and many books he is a
famous author/poem writer. this is an excellent poem, because of its
sound, its figurative language and the new perspective. this poem has
a lot of repition in it. this poem has a lot of phases like "if you
can". Kipling use the phrase if you can a lot to help young readers
realize what adult-hood is all about. Kipling wrote this poem
originally to his son I guess when he was down writing it he read it
and said this will inspire millions of people one day. Second would be
that this poem has kind a a rhyme scheme. Like this poem has words
rhyming like "waiting , hating ".this poems figurative language is
really weird because figurative language has metaphor simile and
personification but this poem only has personification. last is when
you read this poem it sounds good. When you read it out loud you hear like a rhyming thing like kind of a heartbeat. This poem has a lot of metaphor in it. This poem the metaphor it is “if you can dream -- and not make thoughts aim“. in this poem
Kipling uses metaphor’s very excated with his words. Second would be that Kipling also used a lot of personification. the personification in this poem like “if you can meet triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters the same.” Kipling is trying to say stay true to yourself rich or poor never change your attitude. Last would be personification and metaphor. Kipling choose these words carefully. Kipling choose this words carefully because he wanted rhymes all sorts of stuff. First why he told this lesson. Kipling choose this lesson for his son. Kipling told his son this so he knows what his heading for in life. Second is why he choose this. Kipling wanted to inspirer little kids to not make the wrong choice. This is like a guide to help kids like don’t change because people tell you to . These are the many reasons why this poem is a great poem. One would be it has a great figurative language. The seoond one would be the way it sounds. For example this poem has rhymes in it and it keeps it in with its tone. This poem is a good poem and I encourage people to read this poem. In conclusion many people should read this poem it helps young readers realize wake up and wise up like right now.

nhd project
Joseph McCarthy was a senator from Wisconsin many people knew him as a cruel and a
unfaire person they though because he cheated his votes to become a judge. Joseph
McCarthy was a senator from Wisconsin but other people no him as Joseph McCarthy.
Joe was born and raised in Wisconsin. Joe was born November 14 1908." At age 33,
McCarthy volunteered for the United States Marine Corps and served during World War
II. He successfully ran for the United States Senate in 1946, defeating Robert M. La
Follette, Jr". People know Joe as a senator others no him a anti communist. “McCarthyism
was a modern day witch hunt with anyone who had ever even talked to a communist being
immediately guilty“. The problem was he’s a cheater at campaigning giving out false info
on people. Joe only did this so he can win the elections because he doesn’t know how to
play fair. Joe just wanted to win and that why he acted cruel and unfair because he want to
win. When he won he didn’t keep any of his promises. When he was running for judge he
lied about the other candidate. Many people died because joe didn’t wan them to know
what commuision and if the wanted to know they got killed. The victims in the
commuisions were all different some died and hundreds were thrown in jail and thousand
lost there jobs. There to many place that it happened and now its unknown. In this time
period the cold war was going on and this just made it worst around 42 thousand people
lost there jobs and hundreds were thrown into prison so at this time period they had a lot
going on joe just made it worst. It lasted around the late 1940’s and ended around the late
1950’s so it lasted maybe around ten eleven years. This person connects with my theme
because the cold war was all depression and the McCarthyism only caused more
depression and while all of this was happing it was in the middle of the cold war. The cold war was a big great depression war builded up with all different connients were apart of
this great big dpression because it was south america, north america, Europe, and aisa all
of them were apart of this millions of people died just because of this.
We should care about this person today because if we don’t know are history it will be
guarantee that it will repeat itself that’s why we have history today. Joe is only famous to
people who lived in that time period if you say his name some people get scared other
have no clue who he is and where he come from people don’t like to say his name because
it reminds them if fear. The only thing is that people depression on there face and talk to
people who been through it and that’s about it. Joe change history a lot he made a big
great depression, deaths, lost of jobs many people cant get over it how one man was so
powerful. This man was only this powerful because people thought he was good but one
they elected him they found out about the real Joseph McCarthy and now most people
should really think about who they should elect because its your choice and you must no
it.

animal farm
then the animals found out that squealer stole the extra food and he said "we need the extra food its our brain power". next squealer twists his away around that to. some of the animals notice that squealer and Napoleon are sleeping in beds. "squealer told the animals that the commandment is no sleeping in sheets we were not sleeping in sheets we were sleeping on straw." finally squealer is now living the life. squealer is now sleeping in a bed just like a human he is now no more a pig his has transformed into a human. squealer was fat and rich in the end he had anything his heart desired.
first boxer believes all of the pigs stories. next is boxer always believe Napoleon was always right. boxer always said "Napoleon is always right"he went around always saying that. boxer had his heart set on a retirement because he is so old. next boxer knew that he knew Napoleon was all good. boxer would also say "work hared" as a chant. boxer worked this hard to improve and be one of Napoleon pets. finally boxer thought he was going to a retirement home. boxer thought he was going to a retirement. boxer actually gotten sold to a glue factory. boxer always believe that Napoleon was good.
first benjamen nose that napolen is lieing. next ben noes his lieing and dosent want to say anything. ben always said "a donkey lives a long time". ben noes what napolen is doing he doesnt want to say anything because his scared. next ben can read and right so that means he noes the commandments. ben knew the commandments were falling one by one front the start . ben hated the way they lived when people are diening from starvation. next ben knew that snowball did no harm to the windmill. bem knew that snowball didnt knock thta over he knew that the weather did it. ben died from starvation and cared but didnt car enough to do anything. in animal farm the characters fate lies in their own belifes in realation to the story. squealer maniplates the stories for his own sate. boxer beleives the stories so he gets a once retirement. ben keeps quite so he dont die. animal farm realates to a old russian story where people died for no reason just like this story.

why do the animals let Napolen take control. first is the animals let Napolen take over. Napolen takes over because the animals are not as smart as the pigs so the pigs take advantage of the animals. In animal farm the pigs make the seven commandmets and make animal farm a little bit better by getting more food but there first lie is "we need more food its like are medicen and when we eat more we get smarter and when were smarter we get more food for us on animals farm. Second is that the animals are forced likes slaves. Napolen forced the animals ten times harder then he has ever pushed them. In animal farm the pigs said to the animals about the windmill "this windmill was nock over by snowball < (napolen) we all no who nocked over this windmill it had to be snowball who else would nock over < (spualer). Third is that the animals finally relized that napolen was no good. most of the animals fought aginest napolen but the either ended up dead or starved to death. Napolen had this planned out all the way from the start he knew that the animals would bow down to him and once he got away with more food he pushed it till he got what he really wanted to be ruler. The conclusion is that napolen had made all of the animals slaves and he new that once he gained there trust he was leader but then some of the animals have rebelled agiaenst him and they either got starved to death or got killed by the dogs.

3 Annotation
More than 400 years ago, Giordano Bruno, an Italian monk, wrote that "In space there are numberless earths circling around other suns, which may bear upon them creatures similar or even superior to those upon our human Earth." Bruno deserves to be remembered in the millennium year -- he was burnt at the stake, in Rome, in the year 1600.
In the late 19th century, the science fiction of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells popularised the idea of alien life. Percival Lowell, a wealthy American, built his own observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona primarily to study Mars. He believed that its surface was criss-crossed by 'canals', dug by an advanced civilisation to channel water from the frozen polar caps to the 'deserts' near the Red Planet's equator.
