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.
