The Solar System

            The article that i read is a very important article. I read this article some time ago but i decided to read it again. this article is about new discoveries in our solar system. This article is about how scientists discovered a new planet. The new planet is very similar to many planets but also very different. This planet can be dangerous and both a good place to live. This discovery could be very interesting to people that love science or like to learn about planets.
            The New planet is very big and very hot. The new planet can reach up to be 2,000 Fahrenheit. Because of the intense heat of this planet scientists can't really go up to space and go to the planet or they can die of the heat. Also the planet is 50 light years away. The main idea of this article was that theres more out there then just the 9 planets which is now 10. This is the main idea because the author gave this new planet as an example of many more things out there in space then just stars and sky which many people think is only up there. This wasn't the only new planet discovered but other two planets named Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f. Like the new planet these other planets are also very far away which is 1,000 light-years away
           This was one of the best articles I ever read. I don't usually read or write about science but this article caught my eye and got me very interested on space. I always wondered on what else then planets, stars, and the sky was up there and this article really helped me out on learning more about our solar system. The main idea of these planets was my favorite part of this article. This is my favorite part because I heard about a new planet on the news a long time ago and I didn't know if it was true but now I do because of this article. Probobly this article could be interesting to almost everybody because people might want to learn about others planets besides the one we live in now, which is Earth.

Life Doesn't frighten me

           The poem that I read is called "life doesn't frighten me". This poem is about a person who said that he/she isn't afraid of many scary things. The poet gives many example of things that he/she is not afraid of. readers could think that the reader is trying to convince herself that she's not afraid of anything. Others readers may think that she really is scared and she saying things in this poem that she really is scared of. The thesis of this poem is that she she's really not scared of anything and she's talking about it in this poem. At the end of each stanza she said, "life doesn't frighten me at all" which gave me this idea.
         This was a poem that i read a long time ago but I read again. The poet was trying in this poem that she isn't afraid of anything. She backs this up by giving examples of things that are dangerous like what she said in the poem, "Lions on the loose". She also used many things that happen in everyday life like, "Tough guys fight, All alone at night". The readers uses this to show what she's not afraid of or what readers may think she really is afraid of. Many readers may think that the poet wrote this to show that she/he is afraid of the things of what the poet is talking about and is trying to convince herself that she is not afraid of these things by writing this poem.
         This poem can really relate to everyday life. This poem can also relate to almost every person in this world. This poem relates to life itself because it talks about many things that a lot of people are scared of like snakes, alone in the dark, strangers in the dark,shadows on the wall, big ghosts in a cloud, etc. all of these things were talked about in this poem. No one should not find something in this poem that their not afraid of because everyone is afraid of something which the poet explains that she is saying that isn't which readers may think different of.

The Life of Guy

               The poem that I read is called Please "Don't take my Air Jordan's" by Regie Gains. I read this poem some time ago. This poem was about a young man who's desperate on staying cool. The guy has no money but gets cool gear by through worst ways possible, stealing and killing. The thesis of this poem was that you shouldn't steal or kill for things because you might end up how this guy is living which nobody wants. Regie Gains wrote this poem to introduce what you shouldn't do and why the things this guy did in this poem is not right.
               This thesis has everything to do with the main character. The main character seems to be living a sad life because in the poem he said, "and i gots no job no money at all". The main character seems to really care about his reputation in school because he''s always getting new gear. he has no money so he has to steal his gear. He keeps stealing from the mall and never gets caught. Now the main character needs new gear but he can't steal because he said, "but security's tight at all the shops, everyday there are more and more cops". This meant that there are more police guarding the stores where he robs his clothes and shoes. I infer that the main character won't stop stealing because at the end of the story he was so desperate for shoes that he shot a gut and took his air Jordan's. The main character won't probably stop stealing in till he gets caught shop lifting and goes to prison for a long time.
                   This poem can really relate to many people that lost their ways in life. Not many people live like the main character of this poem but some do live a similar way. A person can become like this main character by not being loved or not having someone to take care of them like parents. People like this aren't really happy with there lives and live with gangs or the streets. There are many people in this world that live like this and aren't loved or doesn't have a choice. I believe that people should not live a life of crime because it isn't right and it's not a way of life. People like this should change really find help and change their way of life so they can live a good and happy life which is what almost everyone wants.
