Open Question: Where is my error in this essay i've written?

So, I wrote an essay and my English teacher on my online high-school told me to proofread it. I have done this but see no error...can someone help me point it out?" Who is Maya Angelou? She is an African-American poetry and autobiography writer who has published many different pieces in the 21st century. She writes mainly about how it was growing up black in her generation and speaks mostly about important lessons she has learned throughout her life. Her New York Best Times seller, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, is a prime example of a wonderful autobiography written about black civil rights. It has been a controversial piece since it was written and is widely read in American Schools. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings was and still is a controversial topic discussed by editors, author’s schools and regular, average Americans. In her book, she takes you through some of the critical social triumphs she had to endure during her time and some more personal issues such as the rape of her mother’s lover when she was a child. I think the best thing about this book is the fact that it is being told by a child. The reason I say this is because you’re getting a child’s point of view on adult issues and things that aren’t usually talked about with children. When looking, I could really only find good criticism on this book. “It is considered the strongest of Angelou's autobiographical books,” as Janet Witalec states in her critique. Along with her number of autobiographies, Maya Angelou is also known for the many poems she has written about civil rights and morality. One example of one of her most discussed poems is “Phenomenal Woman.” The poem discusses how women should succeed and just be who they want to be. It talks about how you don’t have to be beautiful on the outside all the time because it’s who you are that matters. I think the thing that I like about it is that it’s not cheesy or something that a mother would just tell a child to make her feel better. She’s saying it in such a way that she admits her faults and that she isn’t a perfect ten or a model, but in the end if you have beauty but no personality then that’s just as bad as not having looks. She also says in the poem “Men themselves have wondered what they see in me, they try so much, but they can’t touch my inner mystery.” What she is saying here is even the men cannot see why they love her but there is just something about her that makes her special or unlike the rest. I think her purpose for this piece was to show what she has learned throughout her lifetime and share what she has learned with today’s generation since it is partially based on looks due to magazines, music, movies and the media. As hard as I have tried, I really couldn’t find any bad critique on this piece. As Vatily Kotyakov says in the critique and analysis she has written “The message is effective in conveying that quality of character standards are the only standards by which women should judge themselves and the way they see others.” I think she has said it all. more

Resolved Question: A poem about (age 13 at the time)?

I believe this was written in either 98' or 99'. Let me know what you think! I think at the time my grandfather was my inspiration for writing this particular poem. As I typed it, I realized I must have been pretty confused-- some words shouldn't have been used! Grammar problems but...its ok. Teachers My teachers, I look up in admiration They challenge our minds in education To build up on our future Which stays throughout my life The people who don't take part in our lives But make it worse Is a stab with a knife Their actions take great affect The advice they give In the air is swept, through my ear and In my mind it is cherrished and kept Teachers provide us with information Their love for children is never mistaken Their encouragement sets pride in me For this raises my determination to succeed Reaching far and beyond Setting my goals straight and strong My appreciation and gratitude for teachers Will always stay in me They struggle to help us master the work Makes it possible and capable for me to reach out deep in me And see what's worth All the trust and high respect I hold Unfolds and opens up to teachers Opportunities are awaiting Let your heart do the creating Hold on to Faith Let life open up its gate For the "Real World" isn't fake Don't be a dreamer Stay awake Sometimes fantasies carry us far out Reality can take dreams about Teachers stress for our best And keep us alert Our dreams will sink If we don't set our minds straight and think Teachers can teach But our job is to catch and grasp everything And remain open-minded For dreams could be like a shining star Dreams can prove and be apart of who you are If you want to be a dreamer Keep dreaming You'll soon find out reality is worth something The treasure life holds you'll never regret Be prepared Have your future all set Life can be bumpy and a smooth ride to get Life is for enjoyment not something to fret more

Resolved Question: How can people be so rude and inconsiderate?

At my school, we have a week where people who write stories and poems and such can present their work in our auditorium in front of other students, and one poem today that a girl read was about her best friend who died and she got quite emotional, like any person would. At the end of the reading, we were able to ask her questions and comment on her story, for example that she was very brave to be able to get up there and speak about something like that, and basic questions, like, "How often do you write, and how long have you been writing?" and things like that. So, one person in the back row raises their hand and a teacher gives them a microphone to ask her a question. She then very rudely blurts, "How did your friend die?" Obviously this would bother me, seeing as the poor girl on the stage was in tears after reading her heartfelt, beautifully written poem. How can people be so insensitive and impertinent to others? Honestly. more

Voting Question: Is it okay for me to be laughing about an emotional breakdown I had?

I lost my mom when I was 7 (im 14 now) and really, I've bottled it all up until last thursday. We were writing poems about our life, and I Just completely broke down. So my teacher took me and my 2 best friends out. and went to see my form tutor with me + my friends. I cried for about an hour and just let everything out. My form teacher then told me I could have the afternoon of, and my friends were aloud to stay and comfort me. So we spent the afternoon in her room because she wasn't teaching. and then by the end of the afternoon. I felt a lot better. But now I've started thinking of using it as an excuse. Like, if I have a lesson I didn't like, I can just start crying. Me and my friends have been joking about this. But after I say it, I always feel wrong. Like, it's using my dead mother as an excuse. Is It wrong that Im joking about it? because I didn't think Id ever actuallyy have the guts to USE it as an exscuse. more

Resolved Question: What's wrong with me? Social Phobia maybe? Or something else?

I can't be in the hallways -unless they're empty-, talk to a teacher, be on the bus, go shopping in a crowded place, or go to dances and things without having the beginning stages of an anxiety attack (I know what these feel like, I've had them since I was about 5). I sit with friends, but don't really talk, and sometimes, I feel like my best friend is a poster on my wall (I know this last part sounds bad or weird, but it's true.) I feel like I have to hide, even from my family. I've been writing poems lately, and that seems to help, but other than that, I don't know what to do. I'm against therapy, and ... well... Yeah... What's wrong with me? Is it just normal teenage angst, or something else? I'd really like to know... Thanks in advance. Me.Agoraphobia is a fear of being in places where help might not be available. Not the same thing. Sorry... more

Resolved Question: Can you help get me started in this?? thanks?

Choose two of the following four essay prompts. Note: Your teacher will grade your response to ensure that you receive proper credit for your answer. 26. 1. In "The World Is Too Much With Us," Wordsworth expressed concern for the society in which he lived. He felt it had gone astray and explained how in the poem. Write an essay discussing his concerns. What were they? How did he express them? If he were alive today, might he have the same concerns for our society? 4. Shelley and Byron considered themselves to be artists, yet both were also passionately political men. Using references to two or three of the selections you've just read, write an essay in which you discuss the relationship between politics and art. Is an art form such as poetry suitable for delivering political messages? Do you think politics and art are best kept separate? Is it possible to create a work of art without political content? Do the goals of the artist and the political commentator conflict with one another? (10 points) more

Resolved Question: What would happen if.....?

What would happen if AC/DC did a cover of Smells like Teen Spirit? What would happpen if turtles started listening to Death Metal? What would happen if you caught your teacher taking a dump on a Led Zeppelin poster? What would happen if Avril Lavinge and Larry King went to a Best Buy and bought every country CD and then ate them in a bathtub full of expired dog food? What would happen if Aerosmith wrote a Techno song and called it Happy Farmer is Happy? What would happen if Mick Jagger went to a Miley Cyrus concert to count chickens, eat out a porta potty, and yell "2012" at the audience?

Resolved Question: My question is random, and all over the place. So i don't know how to put it, but yes it's about the boy kind.?

My ex and i broke up about a year ago. Now we see each other constantly, every where we go in the hallways. He is always telling me that when we hug i should be the one to the wrap my arms around his neck, instead of me hugging his waist. Should i follow his intake or should i keep hugging the way i feel is best? I like him a little, and i feel like the connection is getting better day by day. He says he likes me, and so do other people. But i don't know if he is just saying that to have a girlfriend. He is always asking me to hold his hand in the hallways, but im afraid of what people might think. Does that mean i am embarrassed to be seen with him? He is always saying that i am such a huge flirt, but he wont tell me who the heck i flirt with? I honestly thought i just flirted with him, but apparently not. Unless he is just saying that, so he can have me to himself? I just dont know what he wants from me, hes hot and cold. (Ha, i took that from Katy Perry's 'Hot n' Cold') I know it seems like i asked about a billion questions, but can i just get at least one answer. More would be better, but i dont expect any one to really get what all that jibber-jabber was. Oh and might i add that i wrote a poem about him, and his ways and how things were back when we were a couple. I had to turn that in, and my teacher hung it on the window. Now to be viewed by my whole school. Awesome. more

She charges at me with her crooked walking cane, i run back to my house to keep away from the pain. An hour or two later it is safe to go back outside, I look at the inches of thick snow, and my heart is filled with pride. Snow angels must be made and a snow man too, Where are my gloves i really have no clue. two days later when the snow begins to melt i quickly pick up a snowball of which i pelt the snow of which i love it will miss very dear though don't worry as it will be back next year. PARENTS For some they might be sweet for others they might be sour but to me one is petit and the other like a tower. Children which they be is annoying to the full it can be hard for me but it can be rather cool. They embarress you so much that you have to walk away you have the need to lock them in a hutch for the price which they need to pay. the jokes which the tell become annoying and lame i know they mean well but to them it is all a game. this isn't over revenge will come your way i will stuff you in our land rover and i will be the one to stay.

Resolved Question: Tell me what Shakespeare is trying to say about Hamlet thingy?

My teacher says if i get the best answer of what this poem thingy of hamlet then he will buy them a soda he also said that we can use the computer so dont think im cheating This is the poem so dont freak To be or Not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer,The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them. To die-to sleep, No more; and by a sleep to say we end, The heart- ache and the thousand natural shocks, that flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation, Devoutly to be wish'd. To die to sleep: To sleep, Perchance to dream- ay, theres the rub:, for in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,Must give us pause-there's the respect,That makes calamity of so long life. For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,the pangs of dispriz'd love, the laws delay,The onsolence of office, and the spurns, that patient merit of th'unworthy takes , when he himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, to grunt and sweat under a weary life,But that the dread of something after death,The undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn, No traveller returns, puzzles the will, and makes us rather bear those ills we have,than fly to to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, and thus the native hue of resolution, is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, and enterprises of great pitch and moment, with this regard their currents turn awry, and lose the name of action more

Resolved Question: How can I get some of my writings/books published?

I am 15 years old and in the 9th grade. I have been writing books/stories/songs/poems...etc...since I was 6 years old and in the first grade. I started reading books when I was 4, and english is by far my best subject (I am currently getting a 98 %) I am sort of a shy writer (I feel nervous and self conscious if someone reads my writings) I want them to get published somewhere, but I really want to start small. Maybe in a magazine or something? I am not aiming for world wide fame at all, I plan on being some sort of teacher...either an elem. teacher or an english teacher, not really an author. I have so many books that I have writen, and it is starting to collect dust. Is there a website or a magazine maybe where I can submit my writings in?? any help or advise would be great! thanks! more

Resolved Question: what do you think? i dont know?

i wote whis because i feel so twisted up inside and i wore this.. so what do you think? thankyou. btw its kinda long so be ready...Dreams are shared by all, whether they are Black, White, or Mexican. No matter what age or where you live. When I think of dreams I think not so much a goal but a passion that you love to do. When I think of a dream I think it’s what makes you who you are. And for me that dream, that thing that makes me who I am is the arts. When I say the arts I mean things like music, poetry, and art, those things show your emotional side. I want to teach the arts to anyone who wants to learn. I think that if you only work and never cut loss and relax then it may hurt you in the end. I have always thought that when it came to things like school, work, and responsibilities then you should always work hard to do the best you can. But always working or always worrying about school or chores can cause massive stress on your mind and body. It can cause things like wearing out the body's reserves, leave a person feeling depleted, overwhelmed, or depressed, weaken the body's immune system, and cause other problems, sometimes even leading to suicide. So that is why I think that having an out lit for stress that can be beneficial instead of hurtful. My personal dream is to teach this out lit of expression through music. I have been playing music for 5 years and ever since I played my first drum beat I have loved the way I feel after band class, refreshed and vented. I choose the drums because when I’m walking and listening to whatever song it may be I will walk to the beat of the song, or snap my fingers to it even when the song has gone off. I can hear the beat of whatever I hear. Not only with music but also with poetry, I think that my poems show more of my inner feeling than anything else that I do. Most of my poems are somewhat emotional and my give the wrong feeling toward what I’m actually feeling but I still feel much better after I’ve written a good poem. My poems talk mostly about love and how it is bad or good. I think that a poem can let anyone share their feeling in a way that is not judgmental, or makes other look at them in a different way. Pomes are a gateway of emotions and expressions. One thing that goes along with poetry is art. When I say art I mean paintings, drawings, and sculptures. I don’t draw but I still like to look at art and some paintings really make you think. Paintings like Katsushika Hokusai, “Great Waves Offshore Kanagawa" by Hokusai, made me think of great power that the sea has and how it can destroy as well as create. Some painting make you think of how you feel about yourself. To have a dream is to a have a passion that will always be with you. And I think that it is good to have a dream because it gives you something to drive for, it’s that thing that gets you up every morning and start your day. And for me that drive it to learn as much as I can, because being a music teacher is my dream, and achieving that dream is not easy. There are many steps to making to that dream. Things like doing good in school. That means good grades and having my bachelors’ degree, and staying with it from 8th grade up until I leave collage. Also having a good back ground, as in having no problems with the police. I think that if we all just take it one step at a time, day by day we will all reach that goal in life. As my reading and writing teacher use to say, “reach as high as you can, then give it six more inches.” So to everyone who has a dream or is going to give up on a dream, it can be the thing that makes you who you are... more

Resolved Question: Read this poem, what do you think of it? It made me cry!?

Ok, so a couple of years ago, my cousin showed me this poem and I saved it. I was looking at my favorites today, and this was in it. Tell me what you think of this poem? It is so sad, it made me cry. I don't know who the author is, when my cousin showed me, it was an anonymous author, but this is from a different website! A Little Girl's Poem Her hair was up in a pony tail, her favorite dress tied with a bow. Today was Daddy's Day at school, and she couldn't wait to go. But her mommy tried to tell her, that she probably should stay home. Why the kids might not understand, if she went to school alone. But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say. What to tell her classmates of why he wasn't there today. But still her mother worried, for her to face this day alone. And that was why once again, she tried to keep her daughter home. But the little girl went to school eager to tell them all. About a dad she never sees a dad who never calls. There were daddies along the wall in back, for everyone to meet. Children squirming impatiently, anxious in their seats. One by one the teacher called a student from the class. To introduce their daddy, as seconds slowly passed.

Voting Question: romantic way to ask a woman out?

hi guys and girls. first of im 17 and i wanna get to know my teacher outside of school i'm leaving for college in 2 weeks and i thought i could bring her a dozen red rose's and read her this poem, i know she likes poems and i talk to her a lot. during a conversation one day she told me that she broke up with her boyfriend and that she wished a guy would come along and sweep her off her feet and be all romantic. she's not that much older then me she's 23 so it's not like the age gap is a big thing can everyone tell me what you think of this poem i wrote for her thank you I don’t know the best way to ask this question to you, so I thought “I could write you a poem” and that's what I've decided to do. I don't know exactly how good this poem is going to be. or even if i’ve wrote effectively I guess you'll have to read it and maybe later you can share your thoughts of it with me. Even though we kind of know each other, I'd like to get to know you even better. That is one of the reasons that I am writing you this personal letter. From what I know of you, I can tell that you are very kind. You are funny, pretty, and caring. That is why you are on my mind. I thought that maybe if you had the time, and if you wanted to we could possibly go out sometime and find something to do. I will confess to you that in my entire life I've never had a perfect date. but something about you has made me act. with this feeling I can no longer wait. I've had crushes on girls before, as most men tend to do, but you are the first REAL woman that I have ever really expressed my true feelings to. I don't know what it is inside of you, or what it is you've got but it's something that I like, something I like a lot. getting to meet you has made such a change in me. For instance, it has driven me to write you this piece of poetry. I know that you are not around the same age as me. I don’t know if to ask you out would be OK, so I am asking you to see. If you think that this is something that you do not want to do with me, that will be OK. I will not be upset if you don’t want to try with me . If you decide that you do not want to go out in the end, I will accept that, but I'd still like to be your friend. But if you think that going out with me is something that's OK, just name to me the the place you want to go, the time, and the day. i’d go to peckham for you and wait in the poring rain every, every single day. We can go somewhere together, to any place you want. We could go out to the movies or to a restaurant. We could go bowling if you wanted or go to a park and walk. We could just go somewhere quiet where the both of us could talk. I’d like to learn more about your life. I’d like to learn more about you. I want to know what things you do and do not like to do. I’d like to know what makes you happy, I want to know what makes you sad. I’d like to know what gets you through the good times as well as through the bad. I know what makes you laugh, but i’d like to know what makes you cry. I’m interested in your likes, your dislikes and all the reasons why. I’m intrigued to know what kind of music, movies, and books you like and such. tell me about these things. I’m attracted to know you so much. Why do I want to know these things? What is my reasoning? It is because I just find you so very interesting. To go out with you would really be such an honor for me. There are other things I want to tell you, things about me I'd like you to see. Can we go on a date? I'll wait for your answer and see. danielle I do not want to rush you, so I will just wait patiently. more

Resolved Question: what is the title and author of this poem?

Her hair was up in a pony tail, her favorite dress tied with a bow. Today was Daddy's Day at school, and she couldn't wait to go. But her mommy tried to tell her, that she probably should stay home. Why the kids might not understand, if she went to school alone. But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say. What to tell her classmates of why he wasn't there today. But still her mother worried, for her to face this day alone. And that was why once again, she tried to keep her daughter home. But the little girl went to school eager to tell them all. About a dad she never sees; a dad who never calls. There were daddies along the wall in back, for everyone to meet. Children squirming impatiently, anxious in their seats One by one the teacher called a student from the class. To introduce their daddy, as seconds slowly passed. At last the teacher called her name, every child turned to stare. Each of them was searching, for a man who wasn't there. "Where's her daddy at?" she heard a boy call out. "She probably doesn't have one," another student dared to shout. And from somewhere near the back, she heard a daddy say, "Looks like another deadbeat dad, too busy to waste his day." The words did not offend her, as she smiled up at her Mom. And looked back at her teacher, who told her to go on. And with hands behind her back, slowly she began to speak. And out from the mouth of a child, came words incredibly unique. "My Daddy couldn't be here, because he lives so far away. But I know he wishes he could be, since this is such a special day. And though you cannot meet him, I wanted you to know. All about my daddy, and how much he loves me so. He loved to tell me stories he taught me to ride my bike. He surprised me with pink roses, and taught me to fly a kite. We used to share fudge sundaes, and ice cream in a cone. And though you cannot see him. I'm not standing here alone. "Cause my daddy's always with me, even though we are apart I know because he told me, he'll forever be in my heart" With that, her little hand reached up, and lay across her chest. Feeling her own heartbeat, beneath her favorite dress. And from somewhere here in the crowd of dads, her mother stood in tears. Proudly watching her daughter, who was wise beyond her years. For she stood up for the love of a man not in her life. Doing what was best for her, doing what was right. And when she dropped her hand back down, staring straight into the crowd.

And if he could, he'd be here, but heaven's just too far You see he was a firefighter, and died just this past year. When airplanes hit the towers and taught Americans to fear. But sometimes when I close my eyes, it's like he never went away." And then she closed her eyes, and she saw him there that day.

Voting Question: Critique my literacy autobiography plz?

Literacy Autobiography: Draft One A wasted life is one that ignores all of the knowledge that mankind has gathered throughout our centuries of existence and chooses to live in the shadow of ignorance. This is just my personal opinion, and what I mean by it is the great of history, from Archimedes to Einstein, have spent generations gathering all of this knowledge that we take for granted that it would be a waste and even an insult to not attempt to absorb as much of it as is humanely possible. They have given us a gift and it is our responsibility to protect and contribute as much as we can to this collection that people have given so much for. During my childhood I developed a deep passion for reading. I suspect this resulted from me being very good at it from an early age. By the fourth grade I was already reading at a high school level. There were very few things I enjoyed doing more than sitting in my basement, in this old reclining chair we had, and just spend hours reading the “Redwall” series by Brian Jacques. My parents were always very supportive of my desire to read. From what I can remember they were always willing to get any book I requested. I think they were proud that I loved to do what other parents had to force their children to do. However, my desire to explore written works may have cost the friendship of my classmates throughout much of elementary school; which I directly attribute to my reading. I had to go outside of the classroom to find my childhood friends, many of whom I’m still friends with today. So, do I find my desire to read and learn worth the friendship of my classmates? To be brutally honest—you bet I do! Recently, I discovered none of the eight students I graduated with are going on to a four year university. That along with some other factors led me to the conclusion they probably aren’t the best people to associate with. As I got older I lost interest in fantasy novels and yearned for something that had more depth to it. In eighth grade I learned the book “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” by Harriet Beecher Stowe in history class and I decided to give it a read. This book opened a whole new world for me. Not only did I read the book, I analyzed it, recognized the themes, and for the first time read a story between the lines. This ability I soon realized was invaluable, and I had a talent for it. When I got to high school I began to work with poetry. I was asked to analyze my first poem when I was in ninth grade. I could pick any poem that I wanted and I had to write an essay analyzing what was beneath the surface. I remember my teacher was impressed with my choice which was “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Coleridge. In hindsight, this probably was not the best choice because it took all of the allotted time to complete. But my teacher was so impressed with it that she showed it to her senior poetry class. At this point every time I read a book, I analyzed what I was reading. As a result of this process, whenever I read I developed my critical thinking and reasoning skills. The more and more I read the easier school became and the more I was able to apply my critical thinking skills to other school subjects. I began to learn concepts rather than memorize problems. And I began to go much further in depth in my course work than my high school required me to. I started to pick up more classical literature, such as “The Prince” by Machiavelli and “The Divine Comedy” by Dante Alighieri. I started to feel as if I owed it to the great minds that have passed through history to understand the things they left behind for us—their legacies. Such as the work of classic poets: John Keats, and Percy Bysshe Shelley, or the work of great scientific minds: Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, and Albert Einstein. I always enjoyed going over their specific contributions to humanity whenever we stumbled upon them in a course, although we would only talk about them briefly. This was always disappointing to me—not giving proper credit to the people that deserve it. What a lot of people fail to realize is that many of these significant people who made a real difference in the world were persecuted in one way or another for their work: Socrates was sentenced to death for his philosophy. Galileo had been imprisoned for his heliocentric theory. Isaac Newton was afraid to publish a lot of his work on calculus for fear of criticism. Confucius once said, “No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance." I agree whole heartedly with this statement. Maybe there are issues with our current education system, or maybe it is something else entirely. But we are currently living in a world where the majority of the population seems too concerned with current popular culture. Whatever the case may be one should not choose ignorance. Since civilization began man has searched for answers. That is human nature so it escapes me more

Resolved Question: What can I do if my teacher hates me?

I have an English teacher who doesn't only give me bad grades, she is also mean to me and she never smiles. No matter how hard I try, whether by showing her I studied or giving her presents, or even talking to her, she never approves. Since we never do tests in which there is only one right answer and we usually write essays/stories that the teacher grades, she can give me any grade she wants. All my friends, even the ones that aren't very good, and whose tests I read and considered them worse than mine (I don't mean to brag) get straight As while I keep getting Bs or Cs. I've tried to be polite to her and ask her what the problem is, but whenever I start talking to her, she is mean. I don't know what her problem is. Another story: we had to write a poem for a test. Everyone wrote things like 'I have a cat, I wear a hat, my name is Pat' (you get the message, they weren't so good) and I wrote a poem about love that didn't rhyme. All my friends got As. I got a B. She wrote a comment: 'Your poem doesn't really make sense.' I tried to explain to her what it is about. She said it's not clear enough. I honestly don't know what her problem is anymore. I try my best and she keeps shouting at me and giving me terrible grades, as if I had done something bad. more
