My Expectations for High School

what i expect to get from high school would be an education for college. also skills that can help me later in life. Also an experience that i can look back on and feel mostly happy about. i expect to learn something of worth that can help me get the job i want or a good paying one. i expect to get good grades to do all that.

my expectations for the next four years would be to have decent grades and to have fun. by the end of my four years a expect to have good friends and a path. by the time i graduate i expect to have learned enough in each category to get by. also to go to a good college.

Poetry Out Loud

for poetry out loud i chose the poem in just by e. e. cummings. i chose it because it was different and i liked how it was written. when i read the poem i think the author is writing about a memory of some thing he saw a long time ago or something. to me this poem means that maybe cummings watched the kids run to the lame baloonman or maybe he knew him.
i feel like this poem is going to be kinda hard to say out loud because it has some big spaces between some of the words and no spaces between others. the poem is not very long and the lines are short. when i recite my poem i think im going to pause for the spaces and speed up when there is no spaces. i kinda dont think im gonna be in the top ten because i get really nervous when im in front of a bunch of people and i might say something wrong......but i hope not memorize

My boo Radley

someone tell me if this sounds weird or is alright.

My Boo Radley
I never quite know what to say to you
You seem slightly distant
But you are content
I never understood some of the things you did
Like smiling… at everyone
Or saving everything you received
What is your life like?
Was
But you saved me more times than I can remember
Like when I tripped on the ground you fixed me up
Or when you told me not everyone is the same and people work in different ways
You seem like you need to say something but don’t know how
I wonder what were you going to say all those times
But you smile and move on
I’ll always think and wonder about you
You are my Boo Radley.

Stopping by woods on a snowy evening

i think the poem "stopping by words on a snowy evening" is saying that the writer of the poem is stopping in the woods to watch another guys woods fill with snow. the writer knows that the guy who owns that wood is not there so he wouldnt mind the writer stopping and looking at them. the horse thinks its weird that hes stopping without a farmhouse near and its the darkest day of the year. the horse shakes the harness because he is wondering if there is a mistake. the only other sounds there are the wind and the snow. the writer think the words are dark and deep. he has promises and responsibilities to keep and miles to go before he sleeps.

i chose this poem because it is probably something i would do. i probably would just stop and look at the snow falling even though i had things to do. i like this poem because i kinda understand what he feels like sometimes. in the poem it says "the woods are lovely,dark and deep," i think that could also mean his life is like that and he isnt all that happy.

Changing Perceptions of Boo Radley

One of the mysterious occurrences that can be traced back to boo radley would be him folding up and sowing jems pants for him. he sowed them as if here were a little kid to make it seem as if jem did it. an other mysterious occurrrence that can be traced back to boo radley is him putting little things in a hole in the tree in his yard and jem and scout find the things. these things change my perception of boo radley by me thinking he is weird and doesnt come out of his house but he is nice in a way and kinda cares for the kids. these things show that boo radley might be nicer than the kids thought and that he isnt as scary.

the conversation between miss maudie and scout shows me that she is hiding something from scout and she wont tell her. atticus doesnt like the kids playing the radleys, that might mean that he doesnt like any of the things the town is saying about boo and he thinks the kids shouldnt take part in that sort of thing.
