Jake L's Blog: 2016 Aspirations
http://16jlillis.blogspot.com/2016/01/2016-aspirations.html
Monday, January 11, 2016. In this day and age. People young and old. Are endlessly rushing from one place. Filled with thoughts of stress. Their only motivation being work. People living without rest. Endlessly anticipating the arrival of the weekend. Only to repeat the cycle again and again. Even the sacred gift of sleep. Has been tainted by dreams of stress and anxiety. No rest for the wicked it seems. What would happen if. We adjusted our outlook. To not approach life's challenges so logically. Upfron...

Monday, February 29, 2016. Social Issue Synthesis Page. Thursday, February 25, 2016. A boy stood alone in a graveyard, a single lily clenched tightly in his hand. He stared intently at a tombstone, not moving. The rock read,. Edna Michaels, a mother, a wife, and a shining star in the eyes of all. The boy stared down at his feet when he heard a voice from beside him. The boy stared blankly at the manifested image of his dead mother. He sighed and stared back down at his shoes. The sun has dimmed, the sky ...

Wednesday, October 28, 2015. The piece of art that I’m choosing to write about was. Monday, October 26, 2015. Reading Response for "Party Crashers". Sunday, October 18, 2015. Monday, October 5, 2015. A Symbol of Hate. A Symbol of Hate. Striking fear into the hearts of some. And pride into the hearts of others. The hardships of an entire race. A war and a century that followed. A time of discrimination and segregation. It represents heritage others claim. The pride of the South. For a misguided cause.

Thursday, September 17, 2015. ELA My Ideal Bookshelf. One of the books that would have to be on my “bookshelf” is,. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. The story itself was very engaging and appealing to readers regardless of age. Who didn’t want to read about an orphan attending a school where magic was everywhere and imagination was the limit? Another one of the books that would have to be on my “ideal bookshelf” would be,. You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost). The Diviners by Libba Bray.

Sunday, March 6, 2016. A small boy walks through a packed hallway,. His freshly-ironed shirt falls around his slim frame,. Comb tracks evident in his hair. He is content with how he looks,. Neat, prim, and clean. But he is a target,. Because he is not a man. No, a man has to be huge,. Skin tanned and muscular. A man has to be gritty,. Finding pleasure in hard labor. A man has to put his friends. Before any of his family. How dare a man show vulnerability. How dare a man show compassion. He is this boy.

Monday, November 9, 2015. We live in awe and disbelief. Of a world facing. We think that our society is still practicing the same old rhythm. That our behaviors are changing. Our actions are conceited,. May be nearer than we think. What with ruining our atmosphere. And failing to perceive. Our billions of dollar in military spending,. That is tearing nations further. We jest of a world consisting. Due to the unbreathable air. In the hands of cryptic. That foresee a world lacking in an immortal.

Thursday, February 25, 2016. A boy stood alone in a graveyard, a single lily clenched tightly in his hand. He stared intently at a tombstone, not moving. The rock read,. Edna Michaels, a mother, a wife, and a shining star in the eyes of all. The boy emptily chuckled to himself. It was so funny that such a woman as his mother could be described in three phrases on a stone in the middle of hundreds of other identical memorials. How could such a shining star fall in such a fashion? The woman’s gigglin...

Olivia W's Blog: Social Issues Poem
http://16owohlgemuth.blogspot.com/2016/03/social-issues-poem.html
Sunday, March 6, 2016. If music be the food of love, play on.". The twelfth night, the twelfth year, the sixth album. In a world where ruling trumps reason,. Mentors can quickly turn malicious. A contract of eternal bond of love.". An unbreakable contract,. Full of loopholes,. Even so quickly may one catch the plague.". How quickly and unexpectedly it can creep up,. And she was afraid to speak up. But let concealment, like a worm i' the bud, feed on her demask cheek.". But when she did reveal.
