IMMIGRANTS IN OUR OWN LAND

I think jimmy was in a very dark place when he wrote this poem because it starts to decline as he writes.

SOUND OF THUNDER STUDY GUIDE

I.
annihilate-destroy utterly
expendable-unneeded
infinitesimally-too small to measure
primeval-ancient
resilient-strong
revoke-to cancel
sheathed-protective covering
subliminal-unconscious
taint-trace
undulate-move with a smooth wavelike motion
foreshadowing-to signal
An example of foreshadowing is when the guide tells Eckels not to panic at the first shot of the T-Rex and he does and it makes the other guides panic.
simile-uses words "like" and "as"
An example of a simile is when Eckels compares Africa to Illinois and uses "like".
metaphor-unstated comparison
An example of a metaphor is when Bradbury compares pterodactyls to night fever.
protagonist-main character
The protagonist is Eckels.
II.
Visited the Time Safari Inc.
10,000 and government action
live in 1492, because Deutscher had worst kind of dictatorship.
6 safari leaders died and 12 hunters were killed
Mr Travis
4 others
2 shots in the eye and then go to the brain

AN EARTH SHATTERING FART

I think this story is really suspenseful. The way Bradbury uses a lot of words that are giving hints on what's happening but he makes you figure things out by yourself. I really like how they go back in time becuase I've always wanted to do that!

EMERSON PRESENTATIONS DAY 3

we can't sit around and wait for happiness
don't rely on other people to bring you happiness
Emerson urges his readers to follow their individual
don't be a person your not people only judge us from what they see
can't hate something you don't know

EMERSON PRESENTATIONS DAY 2

everyone's opinions say something
speak the truth no matter what
don't give into labels becuase we're our own person
do what ever makes you happy
rely on our own beliefs
your not living life to please others but to please yourself
being great and try to understand yourself
society might judge them
people don't wanna say what they think becuase they don't wanna be judged

EMERSON PRESENTATIONS DAY

every hearts vibrates to its own string- relates to some people
kids are capable of great things
nothing can make you happier than yourself
you give yourself the advice you need wants everyone to open their mind and see what other people think
