Music of my life
by Kacey Storm

The music takes my soul
Takes it through the wind, and around the autumn trees
As the earth turns slowly
Each song, makes me wonder what really goes on while I'm asleep.
As a disco ball shenes through my dream.
I wish I was awake, as the music plays.
And wished instead of school, I'd get to party and dance all day.
As one song makes you move, and happy
The other makes you cry, and sappy.
Each song with its own act,
Life reacts back.
As each tune, makes you
the way you are
That's why I'm kind of bizzare.
It's hard to believe your song,
is more than just a song
Or a bell is more than a bell.
And a voice, could be as hell
You could lose your soul
Regain it again, each feeling fills you full
As each tune tells you what to do.
Nothing is better than the feeling of the music's 'tude.



Get Lost In The Music
by Roxane Faulkner

Music is part of my everyday life,
it's the one thing that makes me feel alive.
No matter what it could be,
all music influence me.

Music teaches me everthing I do,
After hearing the words, you know it suits you.
Without music I don't know what I would do,
when I'm feeling bad it's the only place I can go to.

Music is my life, my desire,
As I listen, it builds me higher.
No matter what kind, rock, country, or rap,
you can't convince me that any of it is crap.

What ever you're feeling, whether its happy, sad or fear,
just turn it up and listen what you hear.
To me music could never go wrong,
I could listen to it all day long



The Loudest Shadow
by Anthony

It begins as a noise in the background
keeping steady beat as it makes its round
it can be found at any time of day
it's so simple, just push play

It creates a story for everyone's life
as if it understand your struggles and strife
it's impossible to stop, it's purpose will bevserve
as if not to judge on wheter or not you deserve
to feel absorbed in something begger than yourself
where there is nobody to ever ring the bell

Of complete reality and worry filled days
when life gets too real there's omething that says
I'll be with you through the HAPPY and SAD
the really GREAT days and event the BAD

It lingers as if ready at any possible time
to lift you off your feet and begin to fly
away from al the grief, sorrow and pain
to tell your mind that it's free again

No judgin or casting a nasty glare
nope, just to let you know that it's always there
as the shoulder to cry on when no one else cares
and casts you alone to face all of your scares

it will give you a feeling that no one else can
and open your eyes to the ever growing span

Ethnography Reflection Essay

After struggling with the instruction paper, we quickly figured out what we have to do. It was very confusing for us at first but we managed to get through. At first, we planned to do only video and put it on the blog, tumblr that we created but after a week, we plan to have a prezi to show what we found out while we did the ethnography project. We also have some last minute change because things don’t work out the way we planned it to be but we changed it back because we thought that it would be confuse to change everything at the last minute and we solve our problem by work together and now, we stick with the prezi, the video and the “tumblr” blog
After several weeks of surveying and researching, our group finds out that although we all live in an AIS community but we have different opinion of different categories. We also found out through Mr. Patrick’s blog posts that in AIS, Vietnamese population takes up to 90.69 percent, American only take up 4.36 percent, and other countries like Chinese, Germany, Australia, etc. take up 4.98 percent. Different to other groups, we ask what adults think and we compare it to our group. We ask adults in school like staffs and faculties and we compare to each of our opinion. We’ve done these works through recording people’s answer into a camera and it will be shown through a video that was edited by Mickey and Steve. After everything is finish and ready to be due in, we put all of our works onto a blog that Aeris created. We think that we will work on the blog even after the Ethnography project. May be we will but video bloopers on the blog and also the processes that we’ve been through. I think that we may also put who and what helps us to get to this point and I believe that Mr. Patrick was our biggest help.
I think Ethnography helps us understand the people around us and it helps us know that we are similar to each other. We might disagree with each other but I think that we

Lit. Focus - # 6

I think that camp harmony can be considered both inappropriate because when people look at the word harmony, they would think about a melody right away. Harmony is something cool to people. A lot of people won't take a very long time to think about the title but they'll get straight right into the events. They won't take time to think about that does the author means when she named it "Camp Harmony". When I asked, right after they heard the word harmony, they suddenly think of a sweet melody. Even when I look up on online dictionaries, it says harmony is an agreeable sound property, agreement of opinions, a harmonious state of things in general and of their properties as of colors and sounds but is it?

There's a part in the story(page 520, paragraph 2, 2nd column), the author said. "What was I doing behind the fence, like a criminal? It doesn't sound like a harmony any more. Also that part, "May be I wasn't considered an American anymore. My citizenship wasn't real after all." and it doesn't sound equal like the meaning of the word harmony so I think that the name Harmony is not appropriate for this short story.

ESSAY
How have economy affected you and your community? Well, if you live in a mixed economy, your country is likely to be success either right now or in the future. A mixed economy is control by both government and individual. Countries all over the world are moving rapidly to a mixed economy.In a mixed economy, the common good and individuals work together to control chaos and provide protection to its citizens.A mixed economy is the best for the people because it balances the power between the individual and the common good.
Chaos is cause by individuals.Usually, individuals do before they think, and that actions make the country falls into the deep, dark valley.The best example that proves my idea is the story “Wise Old Women” Written by Yoshiko Uchida. The government abandons all of the old people in the village. A young farmer doesn’t want to give his aged mom away, he then hide his mom.All of the problems would be solveif the government and individual work together cohesively. Government also has their own problems. They make you work hard and take your credits. They make stupid rules that only benefit themselves. They make you give up what is most important to you but mixed economy is different.Mixed economy gives us a chance to live in a peace world.
Individuals always make horrible decisions and then regret.Government is here to protect people from making wrong choices that lead them into a dark cave without a way out. For example, in the story “How Much Land Does a Man Need?” written by Tolstoy, it shows that man’s greed make people regret and disasters will just hit them without them notice.The man in the story isbeing greedy so the price he has to pay is that he has to give up his life. If the government involve, they would not let him do such a thing by give him his needs. Needs is different than greed but the government could provide you enough. When the land is free, you will have what you want and your greedy might disappear or gone for a while. Mixed economy is the best economy and it gets you out of hard solving situations. That’s the reason why mixed economy is present in this world.
A mixed economy is the best for the people because it balances the power between the individual and the common good.A mixed economy affects you and your community in positive ways. A mixed economy protects you and control chaos happen within your area. Mixed economy help you success because mixed economy is control by individuals and government. A mixed economy is the best for the people because it balances the power between the individual and the government. And those are the reasons why countries all over the world are moving forward to mixed economy.
