I would want to be a Singer because I love to sing for an audience, but I want to teach and share music with others. I don't want to be an interior designer only because it has nothing to do with music. I intend on being a Music Director, because I love music and I want to teach everyone to love it and make beautiful music.

GOOD

You are to read one book from our library that has to do with love. It can be any form of love. I must know the name of the book ASAP. 1. On your website, you will write an FULL (physical, emotional, relational) description of three of the characters in the book. I highly recommend __Breathing Underwater__ by Alex Flinn; __Twisted__ by Laurie Halse Anderson; __Shattering Glass,__ and __What Happed to Cass McBride__ by Gail Giles. __Homeboyz__ is also a good one. 2. Find a song that has to do with love –Post the words on a webpage and explain the speaker of the song (not the writer, nor the artist) and his or her attitude toward love. Support your ideas with quotes from the song. Are there any allusions or imagery used in the song? If so, explain. 3. Find an article in a newspaper or magazine online that has to do with metaphysical love (love that transcends the physical). Put a link to the article on a webpage and on that same page, explain how the people in the article would meet those characteristics. 4. Find another article that seems to illustrate the characteristics of cavalier love. Put a link to that article on the webpage and explain how the people in the article exemplify cavalier love. This may be done on one webpage with two columns and two rows, or you may create four webpages. This is due March 8.

HONORS Love Unit- 1) The three characters that I chose from __What Happened to Cass McBride?__ were Cass McBride herself, Kyle Kirby, and David Kirby, Kyles brother. Cass was very insipid and simple. The love for her father was not like a father-daughter love, it was pretense. Cass was "like one of the expensive cars in the dealership - beautiful and shiny..." where her father could see his reflection. Cass had a Crush on Kyle when she saw him half naked attacking the weeds in the country club flower beds. when school had started, she made it her business to find out his schedule and it was a first for her to purse a boy. Yet, the only reaction Cass got from Kyle was a troubled gaurded look so she forgot about him. Kyle kirby was a person who kept to himself, he didn't try to look good. he is very disturbed when he knows of his brithers death, this is why he decides to take it upon himself to kidnap Cass McBride to get revenge for his brithers death. He believes that Cass is the reason for him falling if the tree because of the note that she wrote which was not meant for David to see. David started to have feelings for Cass towards the end of the book. David was Kyle's little brother and he had a crush on Cass. He mustered up the courage to ask her out on a date. Cass was running for prom queen,and she didnt want to level herself down to his level, so she turned him down. David fell off of the tree displaying a sort of love to Cass and he died. 2) In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense And still I feel I said too much My silence is my self defense

And every time I've held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns And so it goes, and so it goes And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows

-The lyrics to this song are surrounding the idea of not saying anything and loosing love because of it. =-Fla. man gets 30 years for killing wifeThe Associated Press= A Tallahassee man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for killing his wife. A Leon County judge sentenced 47-year-old Daniel Tappen on Monday. He was convicted last month of second degree murder. He had faced a first-degree murder charge, but jurors decided the slaying was not premeditated. Authorities say Tappen strangled his wife, Kimberly, with a belt at their home in September 2008. Prosecutors said that Tappen killed his wife because she was planning to leave him. Defense attorneys brought up the wife's history of drugs and depression, arguing that the death could be been suicide.

Posted on Sat, May. 08, 2010 =A bullet in Baghdad, a son's need, a mother's love=

By MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Medical Writer There are mothers who will spend today missing sons and daughters fighting overseas. There are women who have lost children in those wars, for whom Mother's Day will never be the same. And then there is Eva Briseno. Joseph Briseno Jr., Eva's 27-year-old son, is one of the most severely wounded soldiers ever to survive. A bullet to the back of his head in a Baghdad marketplace in 2003 left him paralyzed, brain-damaged and blind, but awake and aware of his condition. Eva takes care of "Jay" in her suburban Virginia home where the family room has been transformed into an intensive care unit, with the breathing machine and tubes he needs to stay alive. Try to imagine this life. Each day starts with two hours of bowel care, an ordeal as awful as it sounds. She labors over his body, brushing his teeth, suctioning fluid from his lungs, exercising his limp arms and legs, and turning him every other hour to prevent bedsores. She sleeps a few hours at a time, when the schedule says it is her turn, often slumped in exhaustion by his side. She has been out to dinner with her husband, Joseph Sr., once in seven years. She could have a better life if she put Jay in a nursing home. Or if she went back to using the home health care nurses the government provided. But one looked indifferently without wiping Jay's mouth when he drooled. Others fell asleep on the night shift, inattentive while Jay suffered seizures. It's hard for a mother to watch such lapses. The nurses don't love Jay. His parents do. So they have chosen to care for him on their own, and you will not find them feeling sorry for themselves - only for him. A lesser man would leave, Eva says of her spouse, whom she has known since grade school in their homeland, the Philippines. A lesser woman would cringe at the wound care and bodily indignities that Eva has learned to manage for her son, Joseph says. "I can't walk away from this. She can't. I'm very proud of my wife," he said. What keeps Eva going is hope that stem cells or some future treatment advance will help her son. "I do believe in miracles," she says. Yet desperation clouds her prayers. "Most of the time I ask God if I can take Jay's place," she confesses, unable to suppress a sob. Hearing his mother, Jay cries too, the tears silently slipping from his blind eyes. For Eva, the tears began the day Jay shipped out, on his 20th birthday in 2003. He was a student at George Mason University, hoping to become a forensic scientist. He had joined the Army Reserves and was surprised to be called up so soon. Eva took a cake to his unit before he left. At first, she wasn't very worried: Jay was assigned to civilian work, building community relations. A few months later, the call came. One of those civilians had shot Jay in the back of the head at point-blank range. His spinal cord was shattered, and cardiac arrests led to brain damage that left him unable to see or to speak more than an occasional word. His family became a mass casualty of the wound. His parents quit their jobs and drained their savings to take care of him after he came home from hospitals and rehabilitation centers. His younger sisters, Malerie and Sherilyn, help when they can, and Joseph does a big share. But much of the care falls to Eva, a small, doe-eyed woman who weighs 100 pounds to Jay's 147. At first, she took care of Jay in the basement, using a hoist that some charities provided to lift him into a wheelchair and the shower. But descending those stairs became a descent into hell. After a while, Eva could no longer bear caring for him in that cavelike setting. So they moved Jay upstairs, surrounding him with white walls, bright flowers and Washington Redskins gear so he will have cheerful things to look at in case he has glimmers of vision the doctors can't detect. Eva fills his days by reading him news stories, telling him how good he looks and how nicely he is dressed, and playing the "young people music" he likes on the radio. He grins when the Redskins win, or when Linkin Park, Eminem, Jay-Z or Beyonce are on. Others get a grimace. "He doesn't like Mariah Carey or Kelly Clarkson," Eva laughs. She reminisces about Jay as a teen who loved track and field, played pranks on his sisters, tested her nerves when he was learning to drive, and hosted parties with friends in that basement she now avoids. Jay's care requires a schedule with such military precision that trips to the grocery store or to church must be planned two days in advance. It starts at 6 a.m., when Eva gives Jay medicines, logs his blood pressure and temperature, and begins his bowel care. That involves properly positioning him, giving suppositories and bathing him afterward. If it's not done right, he can suffer obstruction or impaction, and they've been down that road before. Next comes grooming, and cleaning the breathing tube that attaches to his respirator. By noon, Jay is dressed and into a wheelchair, a lunchtime sludge of nutrients draining into his feeding tube while he listens to the TV. Afternoons bring physical therapy and twice-weekly prayer sessions with a deacon who comes to their home. At night, they give Jay breathing treatments, empty his urine bag and weigh its contents, because a change in volume can be a sign of trouble. When taking care of such basic needs in babies, "you see them grow" and have the joy of watching them progress, Eva said. "Now, every day is the same," and the only changes are bad ones, she said, starting to cry again. A year ago, Jay had a setback and lost the ability to swallow. Two months ago, he suffered a nicked kidney and internal bleeding after an operation for kidney stones. When the doctors showed Eva his big wound and how to care for it, "I thought at first, 'I cannot do it,'" she said. But again, she rose to the occasion. The degree of care the Brisenos provide is unusual, said Dr. Mitchell Wallin, one of Jay's doctors and a neurologist at Georgetown University and the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Washington, D.C. "Most patients in this kind of condition would not be able to live at home," Wallin said. The Brisenos "are doing an incredible job," he said. "They don't take enough breaks. They're almost too dedicated." Jay's father has a plan: forming his own home health care agency to supply nurses for Jay and other wounded veterans. "The only way we can move on with our lives is to hire and interview, from the start, these nurses," he said. "One of them straight up told us, 'I'm in it for the money.' We just looked at each other and said, 'You're in the wrong house. You're not coming back here.'" The Brisenos are proud of their son's service despite the price they all pay for it now. "This is the effects of war, its effects on families. War is ugly and the American people need to know this," said Jay's father, who spent 17 years in the Army himself. Eva admits regret but also feels gratitude. "Probably other mothers regret having their sons or daughters go to war, especially when they come home hurt. It's not easy seeing your child be in this position," she said. "We are so proud of Jay and we thank God every single day that we have him."

Giselle Herrera 03/17/10 Period 2 Mrs. Sisemore Donne and Simon Comparison Essay

“Meditation 17” was written by John Donne in 1624, and almost 350 years later Paul Simon wrote “I am a Rock.” Although these two works were written centuries apart, they share the same imagery as in the relationship of mankind. They differ in that Donne writes about the relationship with mankind and God and Simon writes about mankind alone. The speaker in “Meditation 17” is John Donne himself, however in “I am a Rock” the speaker is a man who feels alone and feels that friendship causes pain. The tones in the works are not too __different, they__ are both seemingly somber. __The sermon’s tone is also revealing,???__ and Donne is meditating about the unity of mankind. Conversely, the tone in the song is lugubrious. __Simon states__ "I have no need for friendship; friendship causes pain…" proving the distressing tone. The literal meaning in “Meditation 17” is that there is a bell tolling for one who is ill, he thinks that the bell may be tolling for him. He believes that we are all part of mankind no matter how big or small. The literal meaning in “I am a Rock” is that there is a man who is alone and wants to be isolated. He needs no friendship, he need not talk about love, he's built walls up, and he doesn't want to have companions.YOU COULD HAVE USED DQS HERE TO STRENTHEN YOUR ARGUMENT. On the other hand, the figurative meaning in both works uses the same idea, but applies it in a different way. In the meditation Donne uses the imagery to describe the clod and promontory, the bell, the one volume book, with one author and pages and chapters. HE DOESN'T USE IMAGERY TO DESCRIBE THESE. THESE ARE IMAGES HE USES TO DESCRIBE MANKIND AND THE RELATIONSHIP WITH ONE ANOTHER. He uses the book to describe how all mankind has one author and we are all part of one volume and each chapter, which is a life, is not torn out of the book when someone passes, but translated. Then he uses the clod and Europe, "...if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less...,” to __state__ that if one man passes, we are all devastated by it. Donne __states__ "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind,” meaning that if one man dies, we are all affected by itUSE SOME TYPE OF TRANSITION In __The Rime of the Ancient Mariner__, the ancient mariner learns a very important lesson "He prayeth best, who loveth best all things both great and small; For the dear God who loveth us, he made and loveth all." This is a reference back to Donne’s meditation because he believes that we are all one, no matter how great, like Michael Jackson, or how small, like a regular John Doe. EXCELLENT Simon’s song uses the same idea as Donne uses in his meditation, but applies it in a different way. He is referring to Meditation 17 by saying he is rock and an island yet, he is saying he is alone, and Meditation 17 describes the rock (clod) as being part of a huge promontory, part of all mankind and being joined together in a union of life. Simon, however, is stating that he wants to be alone, isolated from mankind. He __needs to friendship__ because it causes pain. It seems like he went through something that made him believe that he could be apart from mankind. These two works, though written in two different centuries, are similar in many ways and they differ in numerous ways as well. It’s mankind as a unity versus mankind alone. USE QM AROUND NAMES OF WORKS. WHAT SOURCE DO YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT YOUR STATEMENT THAT SIMON WAS REFERRING TO "MEDITATION 17"? CONCLUSION THAT RELATES IT TO TODAY?
