Immigrants in our land

 Theme:Expectations vs reality
Tone:sad,lonely
Devices: Imagery, symbolism
Free verse because it doesn't go together like a normal poem
My Impression: I thought it was serious and very calm.I liked how he used immigrants as prisoners and his land as jail.Also on how immigrants they have exceptions and later on those exceptions become nothing to them they are worthless dreams they had.

A sound of thunder

From this story i understood that Eckel is hunter who went out to the safari , but not just any safari but the one of the pass where no man was alive yet to hunt a dinosaurs.He get strict rulers where he can't step out of the pass and he was only allowed to shoot when he was told to.If he didn't follow the rules he would be charged an extra 10,000 and also he would mess up the future.

NOTES

1.trust thy self, every heart vibrates to that iron string
speak up, trust their feelings and mind
2.Nothing can bring you peace but your self
Now in days you ask others for advise ask but you really just need to ask your self
3.don't give up and they can accomplish anything if they work hard for what they want
trust yourself

Emerson for the young buck

Emersonis trying to tell us to follow our  individual will instead of conforming to social expectation.Where you should do what you want and makes you happy not what others want.

Emerson said it

1."What i must do,is all that concerns me, not what the people think"
-indepent spirit behind yourself
2."To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart, is true for all men that is genius"
-each person can achieve his greatest genius by listening to him self.
3."Not for nothing one face,one character,one fact,makes much impression on him,and another one
-something express him alot.
4."The serect of fortune is joy in our hands"
-joy in our work.
5."The gods love him because men hated him"
-people aren't going to like you if dont do stuff that they like .
