What Poetry is to me

To me Poetry is like telling a story, but in rhythm and rhytmes.

Paraphrase/Direct Quote

Paraphrase:
The Darfur war has been named world's worst humanitarian crsis by the U.N. Chad has now become part of this conflict. Also in there own country, thousands of chadians have now become refugges.

Direct Quote:
"The war in Darfur has led to what the U.N. has called the 'world's worst humanitarian crisis.' Over the past year, the conflict has spread into chad, and hundreds of thousands of chadians have become refugees in their own country." (Polgreen 19)

Antony Monologue

I do think his speech was effective. He gave very good reasons to prove that Caesar was a noble man. He's being very sarcastic during his speech by saying that Brutus and the others were honourable men. He also gave good reasons that caesar cared for rome.

Night's Theme

My theme is No one has the right to play god and judge and kill whoever he or she pleases. The nazi's would pick who was strong and healthy enough to work for them. If they were not good enough they would send them to the gas chambers or the creamitorium. For the babies they would throw them in the air and shoot them. Even if you did survive the selection that doesn't mean you'll live. You can still die from over-working or starve to death on the cattle cars.
