The topic I choose was The Jazz Age. The Jazz Age was about people sell alcohol, and they made bars and then they started having bootleggers sell alcohol. I want to read about how they started making bars and when can they started letting people bootleg.
The story “Gatsby’s Party” was about these people who came from every where and just wanted to go to this party that they have every once in a while. When they have the party a lot of people come to the party, some under the age of 21. When they get there all of them drink and have a good time like it’s a club.
The story was told by a man name Nick Carraway, who wanted to have this big party. It was a nice spot next door to the place called Jay Gatsby’s huge mansion. He had just gotten his first job, and then he uses some of the money to open his new club. It was when new people come to meet each other. They always had nice music playing for you, bars so that you can drink.
The story I read was “Gatsby Party”, the party was about this man who sold alcohol at his parties and had nice things there. I think that the way it has something to do with Jazz Age is that they serve alcohol and things like that. So they would be a bootlegger from what they talked about in the Jazz Age. "I was on my way to get roaring drunk from sheer embrassment when jordan Baker came out the house and stood at the head of the marble steps." It's telling how they use to have alcohol and it was illegal to have it then.
The story relate to the Jazz Age really good because they had a lot of illegal things going on at the party that they were doing. All the people who called there self gangster was there. At the party they found out about this person was at the party that had killed some women. There were fights going on while the party was going on. That’s how the people live there life in the Jazz Age.
The story about Richard Corey is a sad story. It about how other people seen that these man was beautiful all the girls liked him. It seems that he did feel the same way about his self. So one day Richard went home and shot his self. The poem probably is disillusionment because Richard Corey was not a happy man as everybody seen him.
The story Mending Wall is about two neighbors who had had a disagreement about a fence. One of the neighbors asks why they need a fence. The other neighbor wanted a fence because he said that a fence makes a good neighbor and keep the peace and them more separated. I think that it has something to do with disillusionment because it talking about people trying to free there self’s.
In the poem “Dream Deferred” is asking what happen to a dream that was lost and damaged. Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? it is tell you how a dream can just be destroyed. The poem is speaking about the time in slavery, because the slaves had dreams but they couldn’t come true because what they were going through.
In the poem “The Negro Speaks of River” he tells you how the Ancestor of how it was them that built the pyramid, and bathed in Euphrates River. In the poem he says “I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.” They are talking about the slaves had to built everything with there hands and with there minds.
In the poem “Incident” the author says that when he was in Baltimore he was very happy and he was also very young and some body nigger. He was hurt by this emotionally because of the name called. And so I smiled, but he poked out
His tongue, and called me, "Nigger." He is trying to get him down by calling him names. This poem has something to do with disillusionment cause the boy tries to avoid all the things the people were doing to him.

Tony Writing Four
Dallas Mavericks will make the playoff this year. The sports media are saying that the Mavericks will not make the playoffs because they have some hard teams to play at the end of the regular season. If they keep playing at the rate that there playing at now, they wouldn’t have a problem getting into the playoffs.
When Dirk Nowitzki, got hurt everyone thought that he injury will stop them from going to the playoffs. Nowitzki had twisted his ankle and the media were saying that he was going to be out for the rest of the season. Everybody was wondering how they were going to win without Nowitzki, but in the first game Nowitzki was gone they won and in the second game they lost. I guess Nowitzki saw that his team needed him, so he tried to come back the next game against the LA Lakers. They lost that game, but it was a good game. They had the Suns up next, and they needed to win that game.
When the Dallas Mavericks played the Suns, they are one the best teams in the league. This was Nowitzki’s second game back from being hurt, but for a man who was just hurt, he somehow came to play that night. Nowitzki had 32 points that night to lead his team to a win against the Suns. Everyone on the sports channels were talking about how they were going to lose that night. Now Dallas has come back to show them that they are not ready to go home yet.
The Mavericks had to win five of the next nine games in order to be in the playoffs. They have already won three of the games and now they have two more games to win so they will be in the playoffs. The rest of their games they have to play some teams that have been playing very well this year, but I still see them winning two or more of their last games.
The Mavericks have been in a run with the Warriors and Nuggets for the 8th playoff spot. Right now, they are in a good position for the number 7th spot. As long as Jason Kidd, Josh Howard, and Nowitzki keep playing the way they are playing right now, they will be ready when it comes for the playoffs. If they get in the playoffs, they will be a hard team to beat because they didn’t have a good season and they didn’t have Jason Kidd until almost at the end of season. It would be difficult to stop all three of them, and say that they will end up winning the whole thing. At the end of the playoffs, The Dallas Mavericks will the 2007-2008 champions.

Realism
1a. in the story “A Story of an Hour” it was about this woman Ms. Mallard that stayed with her husband. Then one day this person that they knew had came the there house and told her that her husband was one of the people who had got killed in the newspaper. Then after they told her that, she wouldn’t have anybody to live for and she would be alone for now on.
1b.one of the social issue was that Choplin wants to solve about female has to listen to everything there husband says to them. The woman for the story was happy about that her husband had died because she wouldn’t have a husband to tell her what to do. When she abandoned herself a little whispered word escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over and over under her breath: "free, free, free!" she is free form her husband having to make her do everything.
2a. the story “The Battle with Mr. Covey” was about who was free and no longer in slavery. Some of the slaves had to work very hard on the days it was very hot, like 3 of them had a bad head and dizziness and they still couldn’t leave after falling and running into things. The story uses in many ways by describing the many things that the slaves endured by his slave master.
2b. With it gave me a heavy blow upon the head, making a large wound, and the blood ran freely; and with this, again told me to get up. It is tell how they use to beat the slaves for not doing what ever they say or disobeying them.
3. An example of modernisms is “Training Day”. Training day is about this cricket cop from California. And he live in this neighbor that is really dangerous, they have people getting killed everyday. The Author uses realism having all theses gangs and people getting kill over nothing. At the end of the story some people from the neighbor ends up killing the cricket cop.

The Dark Romanticism
The three authors would not believe in transcendentalism philosophy because, transcendentalism believed that everyone was pure and good. But all the authors had bad things happen to them in their life and they also have made people have bad times in there life. Like look at Nathaniel Hawthorne he was a judge that was sentencing people to death and gets hung and things like that.
I think that I would be a dark romanticism because e the romanticism believed that everybody was good and people may end up doing something bad in there life. But I don’t think that everybody was good and pure and that’s why I say that I am dark romanticism.
The story “The Black Cat” is about this man who had a quick temper and he couldn’t control it. He was married and his wife was in love with animals and they had all kinds of animals. Then sometimes he go out and get drunk and comes home and then he start getting bored so he would end up taking it out on the cats, like cutting the cats eyes out. The narrator had a bad temper, so at the end of the story he ends up killing his wife and the cat.
The Dark Romanticism would disagree with the transcendentalists. The transcendentalists believe that everyone was pure and good and that god spoke through there mind. The Dark Romanticism did not believe that god spoke through people minds and they didn’t believe that everybody was pure and good. In the story they are showing you how the mind can just snap, and how man just killed his wife and the cat.
Let me see, then, what thereat is and this mystery explore-- Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;-- 'Tis the wind and nothing more.. Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door-- Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door. They are listing to there mind and it is showing transcendentalist.
The transcendentalist believes that everyone was good and pure and that god spoke through everybody mind and they did not believe in evil. In the story they called the raven a thing of evil, but the transcendentalist did not believe in evil through. They also believe that you turned to the over soul no matter what.
Edgar Allen Poe was recognized as a literacy critic and James Russell Lowell called him the most discriminating, philosophical, and fearless. After his brother death he began more earnest into and to start his career as a writer. He was found of the street where some man found him and toke him to the hospital and where he later died.
I think what made Edgar Allen Poe write like this is, because when he was a child he had been going through a lot of thinks. Like when he was a child his father had abandoned there family and his mother end up dying the year later. Then he and his sisters had to go to a foster home. So I believed that’s why he always mean and can’t control the things he does.

Transcendentalism
1. In the story “From Nature” they were talking about transcendenlists in all kinds of ways. They are also talking how god speaks through everybody mind and he doesn’t say the same thing to each other. He tells each person some thing different. While you going to into the society you will not be able to let your mind wonder off, but if you were alone you probably would be able to.
The story mainly speaks about the beauty of nature and the many things that we see. Nature never wears a mean appearance. What they mean about that is nature is going to have something to do with how you feel, like one day if you’re in a good mode it probably will be a good day. Or if you have a bad day you will start noticing things that will make you have a bad day.
2. The story “Self Reliance” talks about how you should trust in your self and you should believe in your self. God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. He says that if you are scared to do what he asks you, he will not ask you to do nothing else for him.
“And we are now men, and must accept in all the highest mind the same transcendent destiny.” Now that they are older they need to listen to there mind and hear what god is telling them. The transcendentalist believed that god spoke through the mind and there hard work.
3. Resistance to Civil Government talks about American government and how most of the laws weren’t right. Thoreau believed that too respect for the law could lead people doing things that they should do. They believed that they should do what ever god told them to do and not what the government told them to do. “Would never manage to bounce over the obstacles which legislators are continually putting in their way.” Like all the hard things that you have to over come in your life.
4. Each one of the writing is a good example of transcendentalism because they talk about seeing things through nature. And they also talk about god speaking through everybody mind and he don’t tell people the same thing, everyone is spoken to differently.

Classic City High School Goals
My goal is to graduate and try to go to school and get my licenses and start off driving 18 wheeler trucks. Driving big trucks is something I wanted to do for a long time. So when I graduate for high school that’s what I’m going to try to do. I’m not going to make it a life time thing. I just want to try to do it for a little while and then I would try to go to college or go to school and try to keep my own company, doing something like construction, landscape, or get my own big truck company.
The reason I have wanted to drive 18 wheelers is because when I was little my daddy drove 18 wheelers. And I use to ride with him sometimes when I would be out of school or something, then I would see what he do and I would want to do what he was doing. That’s how I started like driving big trucks. My granddad was also one of people who got me to like driving big trucks, because he had his own company. Then when summer time comes I would go and help him and see what he does.
In the summer time my granddad would let me come and work with him, he had his own company so that’s how I was able to work every summer when I got older. Then in the summer time when I go to work I would see him running the business and when I was little that just made me want to get my own business and tell people what to do.
I plan to go to school when I graduate from Classic city, and go to some kind of school. I may just try to go school and get my truck license and drive for little while, then later on I could try to get my own 18 wheeler company. And I know that it would be a lot of hard work to try to get my own company but, I would get some people who have some expires and get them to help me and it would probably would be that hard.
I really would like to do construction when I’m done with school or I would like to get my own company in that, but I know it very hard trying to get your own construction company. I would still like to build things if I don’t get my own company. Construction is one of the best jobs you can have because it looks like you would never got bored, and you would always have something to do.
The reason I said that I would like to do construction is because like when my house may need some building on to it, and if it do I could just do it myself and not have to pay all that money to get it done. Or when my family may need something to there house I could come and build it for them. Then soon everybody will hear about me building on to people house, and then I may be able to start my own company.
After high school I hope that I will be able to reach one of my goals. I would love to have my own business. I think that I would be I very good owner if I get my own company. If I do get my own company I still would do some of the work just because I like working. But I think as long as you can just finish high school and keep telling your self what you want to dol. I think that one day that I can be able to do or become close to doing it.

American Romanticism
Rip van wrinkle has a man that everybody in the city knew for doing things for them. He helps a lot of people in the town by doing odds things for them or just running errands for the people in the town. Then they said that Rip van wrinkle went to sleep for twenty years. But in the real Rip van wrinkle went too slept for about thirty to forty years.
When Rip van wrinkle woke up he came to the town that he grew up in, and everybody was looking at him funny because of the clothes he had on was making him look like a bomb or making him look homeless. No one in the town recognized who he was because he had been gone for twenty years.
What did I find romanticism about the story is how he went to sleep for about twenty years and how the streets has trash and killing everybody.
The poem is talking about Mother Nature, how everybody should be treated the same because when we all die we all are going to turn into dirt. they are using there imagation about mother nature like they saying that when everybody die they are all going to be the same.
Example:
Go outside and talk to Mother Nature
When you die you will turn into dirt
This poem was about things that they can do with ropes, it was this man was sitting at work making ropes and thinking about the things he can do with a rope. It was a lot of good things that he though about what he can do with a rope. Like make a rope so people could swing. Then he started thinking about how people can get killed with the rope that he was making. In this peom he is using his to make work go by faster. He think about all the good things that he can do with a rope and all the bad things you can do with a rope.
Examples:
How they use rope to let people die
The girl walking the rope and the carnival
The picture on the page is romanticism because it is an imitation of how they want things to look but cause the stay in a city that is dirty and really trashy. So that’s why they pick that picture to imitation how it could look.

The Rationalist
The Rationalist believes that anything on earth can be solved by science, and the puritans believed strongly in god. They believed he was the creator of all and that he was the reason we had most of the things that we do. The rationalist believed that god created the universe and left it up to people to figure out how to work it or to figure out the natural laws. The puritans believed that god created the world and man did everything else to build the earth.
Benjamin Franklin made chart of the days of the week and the goals he wanted to accomplish to become a better man. Ben may want to become a better man doing a chart so that he would forget nothing. The Puritans would pray to get them help unlike the Rationalist that believe science solve the problems.
Ben Franklin is a good example of rationalists because rationalist believes that Men and Women also believed that human society was run by natural law. They also believed they could take a scientific approach to self-improvement. And the reason Ben Franklin is a good example because he was a scientist and he believed that you can solve anything with science.
Role model- Be a good example for the kids and others
Kind hearted- treat people nice like you would want to be treated
Thankful- be thankful for all the things you already have
Grateful- be grateful for all the things that you have in your life
Honesty- don’t tell lies, tell the truth about all things
Respect- respect other like you wants to be respect
Open minded-willing to learn more or got more ideas
Cleanliness- keeps your body clean
Obedient-respect your elders and do what they say
Thoughtful-always thinking of other then your self
Neat- keep your body and house clean
Prideful-don’t let nobody tell you, you can can’t do
Self motivated- motivate your self and don’t listen when people try to put you down
I think that as long as you go by the things that you will be good in life. And as long as you go by the things people will respect like you want to be respect. When you wake up ever morning you should think about at least five of the things that I named to get your day started.
The rationalist believes that god put them to find out how things go. They thought that god put them on earth smart, so they started doing science and solving everything they need to know. The rationalist wanted to get rid of there king because he was there for so long and he did want anyone else to get elected.
The rationalist believed that the power of the state was different the laws of the nation.

Wilt Chamberlain
Wilt Chamberlin, 7 foot 1, center from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Chamberlain still holds records in the NBA, like when he scored 100 points in a single game, and he also hold records for rebounding. He was also the Most Valuable Player (MVP) two times while he was in the NBA. He has been in thirteen all star games and ten all NBA first and second teams. Chamberlain was named by the NBA as one of the 50 greatest players in 1996.
When Chamberlain was young, he didn’t like basketball that much. He was into track and fields events like the high jump and things like that. When he was younger he uses to say that basketball was a sport for sissies because he wasn’t interested in basketball as a child. When Chamberlain came to high school, he started liking the sport because he was taller than everybody and it was hard for them to stop him. When he first came to high school Chamberlain was already 6 feet 11 inches.
In 1953 when Chamberlain first stared playing basketball for Overbrook High School, he averaged 31 points a game. In his second season he scored 71 points in a high school game. They also won the public league title that year and they went undefeated that year 19-0. During that summer Chamberlain got a job at the Jewish hotel name Kutsher’s. One day Chamberlain met Red Auerbach, the coach of the Boston Celtics who told Chamberlain to play B.H. Born, the MVP of the 1954 NCAA Final. Chamberlain beat him 25-10. Born then said that he didn’t want to go the NBA because he couldn’t beat a high school student.
In 1955 Chamberlain joined the Kansas Jayhawks. He went to racist places and sat down and ate. The people got so use to him that they just didn’t mess with him no more; they just let him sit in the restaurants and didn’t say anything to him. One day at practice, the freshmen had to play the rest of the team and Chamberlain scored 52 points. At the time Chamberlain was playing under Allen, the starter for Kansas at the time. After that game Chamberlain started over Allen, and later Allen retired because he saw that he wasn’t going to play that much.
After the three years at Kansas he left early trying to go to NBA, but the NBA wouldn’t accept him until he finished his last year in college. Chamberlain instead decided to join the Harlem Globetrotters. On October 24, 1959 he was drafted by the Philadelphia Warriors, becoming the best paid player in the league earning $30,000 in his rookie season. In his first game Chamberlain scored 43 points and brought down 28 rebounds. In his first season he averaged 37.6 points a game and 27 rebounds; that year he won both the rookie of the year and MVP, as well as he won the MVP of the all-star game. Later on in Chamberlain’s career he was traded to the 76ers and to the Lakers. And then later retired and became a player coach and was getting paid $600,000 dollars for that.
Wilt Chamberlain will always be one of the greatest players to play the game of basketball. He still holds records right now that is almost impossible to beat. Even if someone breaks his records, I think that he will still be one of the greatest players who ever played the game. There hasn’t been I single player who held records as long as he has, and there has not been another big man who has accomplishes more on the basketball court.

In the NBA the eastern conference may be better then the western conference this year because if you just look at all the teams on the west coast and look at all the teams on the east coast you would say that the east coast is better, and that they are playing better basketball right now. All eastern teams have good records starting out this year, and they are beating some of the west coast teams. About this time couple years ago everybody would be paying attention to the west coast teams. Now basketball has gotten better. Basketball fans can almost look at any game from west coast to east coast it will be a good game.
I think the Celtics are the best team in the league right now. They have the best starting five in the league. I think their five is better then the Detroit Piston five from two years ago. They could win the playoffs this year because I don’t see anyone who can stop them from winning it right now. The only teams that I thought would be able to beat them this year was Pistons or the Heat, but the Heat are in last place right now and they have lost 11 games straight. This year Detroit did get the win against the Celtics, but when they meet up again, I think the Celtics will win the game easily.
Considering how the Heat is playing now, almost any team in the NBA can beat them. I don’t see how a professional basketball team can go from one of the best team in league to almost the worst team in the NBA. I understand that the Heat don’t have that many healthy players right now, but some one on the team has to step up before they miss the playoffs this year. I think Shaqu is ready for retirement because he is not like he used to be -- the most dominate player in the league. Previously, teams playing the Heat would have to practice hard and plan how they were going to stop Shaq. Now you see people just stopping Shaq, or he will be hurt and can’t play to the middle of the season. Another team is improving in the east is the Atlanta Hawks.
Since Atlanta Hawks picked up Al Harford, they have been I pretty good team. Last year when they were losing like that, all they needed was a big man and Harford has given them that. Now that the Hawks have a big man everybody on the team is starting to play better. Joe Johnson, he is one of the best players in the league also. I think that he will go to the all star game this year; I also think that he will lead his team to the playoffs this year. As long as Joe Johnson and Josh Smith play well this year, I know that they will go to the playoffs.
The team that I think is playing the best right now is the Cleveland Cavaliers; Lebron James is leading his team to some good wins right now. I think Lebron James is just like Michael Jordan back in his prime or better. Right now he is doing it all, like making other people on his team play better, Daniel Gibson for example. Now Gibson is one of the best three-point shooters in the league, and when James is being double teamed he is one of the people who will step up and hit some big shots.
If basketball fans look closely at the teams they will realize that the eastern conference is better than the western this year. The teams from the east coast are playing really well right now, and there are a couple teams from the west that are playing satisfactory, but not better than any of the east coast teams. Out of all these good teams in the NBA right now I think that the Celtics will win it all.

The Puritans
"The puritans believe that everybody was going to hell and they were going to go to heaven." Because of Adam and Eve they believed that everybody was born a sinner.
They also said that Jesus didn’t die on the cross for ever one he only dies on the cross for them not everybody else. "The puritans believed that it was no way to earn god grace and it was up to the saints to interpret the word of god."
When the puritans first came to land all of them started getting on there knees kissing the ground. When they got there them though that everything was ok, then they started getting hungry and thirsty and they didn’t have anything to eat. Some of them travel by boats and some travel by walking. The ones were walking discovered a near place to stay. But the one that was riding the boat had to go through the dangers river and all the storms.
When the puritans was walking down the riverside trying to find them some where to stay, they spotted out five or six men walking down the riverside with dogs. When the puritans spotted them they took off running into the bush running from the men they seen with the dogs. They ran into they lost the people and after running they ran into something with that had water and all kinds of refresh for them. So I know that was very happy because they haven’t had anything to drink or eat in a while, because of all the walking they had did.
Later on the puritans and the Indian started talking to each other and they stop running from each other when they seen each other. Then they made rules that they could hurt each other and if one of them hurt the other they can send there people after them and they can be punish. And if they had war they couldn’t kill some of the people. And when they came to each other they had to put there bows and arrow down or put them behind there back.
In the month of April the puritans governor was feeling sick out in the field. He was hot and they told him to lie down and he did say anything else to them and then later he died. And that was one of the worst died that they ever had he was a strong men for the puritans. And later on about five or six weeks later the governor wife died. Then later on William Bradford was chosen Governor. In which he had been near the point of death, Isaac Allerton was chosen to be an assistant unto him.
Total Depravity - through Adam and Eve's fall, every person is born sinful - concept of Original Sin.
Every one was born a sinner
Limited Atonement - Jesus died for the chosen only, not for everyone. Irresistible Grace - God's grace is freely given, it cannot be earned or denied. Grace is defined as the saving and transfiguring power of God.
Jeus didn't die on the cross for everyone on just the puritans
