Poem 2

                                                                     Pride-U2
I think that this song is talking a lot about Martin Luther king junior. I think it's talking about in general people who die for what they believe in. I think it's  talking about people who die for other people. The song is asking the question how many more people need to die before people realize what's right. I think that the reason it's called pride is because people can kill people like MLK but they can't take away their legacy. The song shows allusion when it refers to Martin Luther king junior.

Poem 1

                                                                  Cough Syrup- young the giant
I this that this song is talking about a persons problems. I think that the cough syrup that the song is talking about is the person temporary remedy. I think that it's temporary because cough syrup doesn't cure a disease but it provides temporary relief. I think that his sickness is depression. This poem has alliteration when it says "my mind". I think that this poem also shows personification when it says "a wet world aches for a beat of a drum" and " a dark world aches for a splash of the sun".

Current Event

                                                               Current Event
The Olympics  in Sochi Russia began this week. They seem to be having some problems. Some of the athletes and news reporters have complained about the condition of the hotels. I want to see the athletes compete. I'm excited to see the athletes compete because they have trained for years. I like to watch the down hill skiing. I also like to watch the speed skating. I think it's amazing how fast the speed skater go. I hope that some day they bring the Olympics back to Salt Lake.
