One of the most things I did was go to Universal Studios Hollywood with my little cousins. It was fun because my little cousin Maddox was finally tall enough to go on most of the rides. It was funny to watch his reactions and see him enjoying himself. My little cousin Maddie was making my brother and I laugh as well. We went on the tram which has the 'King Kong' ride and she was screaming really loud, so loud that it hurt our ears. After that, we ate at Denny's. We were able to have more fun and eat great food. ]]> 2022-03-29 17:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/2090405/as3726oz66kk86zt/wish/2119849076 2090405 https://padlet.com/2090405/as3726oz66kk86zt/wish/2161598735 Stories can be very powerful because they hold some truth about the world. Now yes, the truth is powerful, but it can also become dangerous based on how we choose to see it. Single stories especially can be powerful and dangerous. They are powerful because they give us the ideal perspective of a certain place even though there is a lot more to it than what we're told. We must be the ones to treat these people from these certain places as people who are just like us, not as people who need our pity.

You can clearly see, when you read the poem, that she is talking about her life experiences. The fact that she was able to overcome all of this and be the woman she was, is truly incredible and inspiring. ]]> 2022-05-12 02:10:36 UTC https://padlet.com/2090405/as3726oz66kk86zt/wish/2180415157 2090405 https://padlet.com/2090405/as3726oz66kk86zt/wish/2181398935 When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
For all the day they view things unrespected;
But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
And darkly bright, are bright in dark directed.
Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make bright,
How would thy shadow’s form form happy show
To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!
How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed made
By looking on thee in the living day,
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!
All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me.]]> 2022-05-12 14:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/2090405/as3726oz66kk86zt/wish/2181398935 2090405 https://padlet.com/2090405/as3726oz66kk86zt/wish/2184789684 It’s when I’m most soundly asleep that my eyes best see because all day long they are looking at things that aren’t significant; but when I’m asleep they see you in dreams and glitter brightly, directed to your bright image in the dark. So how would you, whose very shadow brightens the dark, appear in daylight with your even brighter light, when your shadow shines so brightly to unseeing eyes? How would my eyes be blessed by seeing you in the full daylight when they already look at your beautiful image when sleep lies heavy upon them? Every day is a dark night until I’m able to see you and the nights are bright days when I see you in my dreams.

This sonnet is saying, that when we dream, is when we see the most beautiful things in the world. The things we see in our dreams are beautiful because they things that were created from our imaginations. They are unlike the everyday objects we see in our lives, because in our dreams, we can have the thing we most desire at no cost. Dreams are beautiful and help us see other things with more significance. ]]> 2022-05-15 21:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/2090405/as3726oz66kk86zt/wish/2184789684
