Poem Analysis

The connection I see between “You want a social life” and “Contents of a Dead Man’s Pocket” is choosing the right and wrong things in life. In the poem “You want a social life” the writer mentions that you have choices but only some will ever help you into the future. Love life, friends or work but making the right choice will help you in the future. I would choose to have my job, then my love life, then friends. There isn’t really time for friends but if they were true friends they wouldn’t go anywhere. In “Contents of a dead Man’s pocket” Tom Benecke chose work over his love life. In the end he regretted not spending quality time with his wife. In life you can go both ways but you need to spend your time equally. From my point of View I would choose school work before Marcus, but when I’m done id spend time with Marcus.

Yellow Paper Paragraph

The most possessive thing that I would risk my life for is the picture I have of my grandma. I would risk my life for this picture because my grandma past away when I was only 1 years old. I didn’t know her very well because she died when I was a little girl. I regret being born so late so that way I could have met her. My mom always told me stories about her being a great mom and telling her stories when she was little. I would be so hurt if I lost the only picture left of my deceased grandmother. I’d do anything for that picture to stay safe under my responsibility. It means so much to me even though someone who I barely know is sitting on my dresser as I sleep at night.

Tom Benecke chose to go out and get the yellow piece of paper. In the end it caused him to get trapped outside of the window with out any help while his wife went to the movies. Instead of going out onto the ledge I would have left the yellow piece of paper outside the window. I wouldn’t want to put my life at such a risk. The plot of my decision would be different from Tom Benecke’s decision because mine would have been less intense as his was. I do think that Tom Benecke was brave because he risked his life and after everything he regretted not spending more quality time with his wife.

Friends or Studying

Id rather study than to hang out with my friends. I think it's smarter to choose homework over friends at the right time because no one can help your education as much as you can.Hanging out with friends during school days will only distract me. If I happen to have time after doing my homework then there is a small chance I will decide to hang out with a friend. If one of my friends is trying to help me in a positive way to help me finish my homework then of course I would love to hang with them. Most of my friends distract me so I decide to study on my own.

Paralyzed By fear

The most recent time I rember being “ Paralyzed By Fear” was on my way to basetball practice. We were walking from the barn after watching a replay of an recent game and I was walking down with Tierra and Becky. We decided to walk ahead of eveyone else and take the shortcome. As we were turning the Marquise was coming aroung the same corner. He screamed and the the only thing that came to mind was a cures word. I cursed, Tierra screamed, and Becky just stared laughing. My heart was beating fast and in the end all I could do was laugh. We went to practice and the entire practice that was all I could think about.This was the time I was “Paralyzed by fear”.

This weekend I watched an episode of SpongeBob Squarepants. Mr.Krabs runs out of his secret recipe so he orders a new shipment. He tells SpongeBob that the brief case that the secret recipe will arrive is his life and if he lost it to never come back to the Krusty Krabs. SpongeBob goes out to the swat team truck get the brief case the recipe will arrive in. He gets the recipe and come back inside the Krusty Krabs and notices that the recipe is missing. He doesn’t tell Mr. Krabs that the recipe was missing because he didn’t want to get fired. He tries to retrace his steps to find the recipe. He can’t find the recipe so he finally confesses to Mr. Krabs that the recipe is missing. Mr. Krabs calls the police and as he pulls out his cell phone he pulls out the recipe that was missing all along.
