     When I first walked into my second class on the first day of school I was very scared because you never know what to expect when you do. You always think to yourself, "I wonder who's in my class", or maybe "Is my teacher going to be nice and chill". And when I walked in I was nervous because I couldn't find a seat so I had to dig myself through filled seats and sit in the back. Once I sat down I was calm and I payed attention to Dr.Preston. He was very nice. Super chill. And I was very surprised because both my second and third period teachers cursed. I was surprised because I'm not used to teachers cursing. But it does give you a different perspective on teachers. Once I heard Dr.Preston curse I knew he wasn't going to treat us like kids. He was going to be realistic with us and wasn't gonna treat us differently based on the way we work. I knew he was gonna think of us as independent individuals and was gonna let us make our own choices. I ...

To be great is to be misunderstood. When you have a unique idea it doesn't need an explanation. Voices can travel through a wire. Not all of our great ideas are going to be understood. Our genuine character always come through after everything that we do. It takes time to accomplish all your goals and desires. This essay doesn't really get to me because I've heard all of this before. But it is imporant to reflect back on these things.

The author reflects back many times. It's hard to say something is good without something to compare it too. Be good and do good. People feel like their good deeds are somehow covering for their bad deeds. If you're a good person you don't need to show that you're a good person to look like a good person in other eyes because you are a good person. Its better to stay true in what you know and live your life even thought people are always going to have a different opinion. You're more powerful to live as to who you are. Whatever you tend to become you become used to wear it and optimize it. Intelligent people can get upset and later get over it, but when worthy people get upset you got to find a way to do it smart and not throw and tantrum. You can be truthful and people can still disagree and later become arguments which can later find the truth.

As I read this it seems very dark, it's kind of hard to understand this poem.I don't really know what its talking about. I think it's talking about a mans life. It uses words I haven't really heard before and don't know what they mean which is why it's difficult to understand.

"The Pedestrian" is a short story written by Ray Bradbury. This short story is an experience that Mr. Leonard went through. Leonard loves to walk through the streets of his neighborhood. He sometimes just walks non stop and doesn't get back home until midnight. One particular evening he decided to begin his journey in a westerly direction toward the hidden sea. Then he explains how the weather is like good crystal frost and how it made his lungs blaze like a Christmas tree inside of him. I'm assuming it was cold out. He would pass by houses and talk to them.Or he whispered I must say. He also explains that out of all the years he's been walking through the streets he's never seen anyone else walk through them. He was a block away from his destination until a car went up to him flashing a fierce white cone of light upon him. It was a police officer and he started shouting "Stand still. Stay where you are! Don't move!. Leonard was really confused. The p...
