People Change by Rocky Shattuck


ok, so this poem is something I want to post. I wrote this and wanted to get feed back.
Mr. Inloes, you don't have to count this if you don't want to. Thanks everyone.



Stuck in a world you thought you once knew
Now everyone's turning their backs on you
Once quiet girls, changed and its strange
Have turned their backs and started doing drugs
The chick next door that you liked for years
Has turned her back and started drinking beers
All of these changes are going around
And you kick and scream but they don't hear a sound
What happened to the innocence so easy to find?
You wonder if you're the only one who still has their mind
They try to pull you in and you know you might fall
But nobody knows there's a solution to it all
Right over this wall you can have your life back
Of friends, and laughter, be back with your pack
There's no need to worry, no need to fear
All of the innocence you know is still here
There are just a few obstacles you know you must climb
Persuading and begging to get back your mind
You cannot give up the prize is far too great
Just hope your obstacles don't make you too late
Do all you can to help your chains break
This is all real, nothing is fake
You're stuck in a world you thought you once knew
Turn your back on your world and they've turned theirs on you

Obama!


The world is dramatically changed. Our nation is no longer ran by republicans. Obama is the new leader, the new way, the new light. Obama brings hope for many people in the United States. Different and more modern Obama took the election away, and for the first time in four years the democrats rule the white house. I’m proud and honored to be apart of history. I’m pretty upset that I couldn’t vote. Now I have to wait four years, but I know and you know that this was one of histories finest elections, and I couldn’t be apart of it. It’s all over! The Bush era is over. Countries are celebrating the fact that Mr. George “W” Bush has moved out of the white house! It feels good to look at the president of the United States and actually smile, because you’re proud of your leader. That’s the feeling that the American people haven’t felt in awhile.

What do you think about President Obama?

Paul Newman is the MAN



Lets face it people Paul Newman is the man. Just look at that picture. Smooth, creative, unique, different, just a few words that describe this man. He is magnificent in "cool hand luke". There is to much to say. Come on! hes on a ranch bottle. Paul absolute does a hell of a job in the movie "cool hand Luke".


After watching "Cool Hand Luke" it became one of my favorite movies. I loved everything about it. The dry humor was awesome. His insane smirk was something that no one else can perform. Paul engaged himself with the movie script. Newman wasn't alone, the film also features an outstanding supporting cast that includes George Kennedy, Strother Martin, and early screen appearances by Dennis Hopper and Harry Dean Stanton.


Paul Newman and George Kennedy are at their best at this popular prison drama. Quote to remember: "What we've got here is a failure to communicate." When I hear that line i just smile :D. Also the title of the movie is perefect representation of everything.


Did this movie win you over, like it did for me? Or was it just another classic movie that you will forget about?


Do you admire Luke?
