Values of Poetry

Poetry is very important to learn because you get so much from it. You get a different viewpoint from people from races, cultures, and time periods. When you start to read a poem, you learn so many things about the author and how that person expresses themselves and the views on the subject they are talking about. The poem also paints a picture, which is unique from a story being told. Poetry is also the type of writing where it is not just in black and white, people can get different opinions from each poem they read ,versus, what you may think.

American Dream

The American dream is to suceed in whatever or whoever you want to be. To be equal and not be discriminated against religion, race, and disabilites. Have a fair chance and be looked up in the same respect, not be treated differently. The American dream is also to have our children surpass us and keep gettting better as generations unfold and move forward. I mostly have the same opinions as my classmates, some of the ideas are prettly similar. My classmates went into capitalism, by how smaller companies have to compete with much bigger, well known companies and how a lot of people would rather spend more money on name brand items instead of consuming or purchasing items that were made in this community or state. A lot of people wonder if there is something like the American dream and if they can grasp and achieve it.
