Good Enough Isn't

"Good enough never is" Debbi Fields. This quote is just so true I couldn't get it out of my head. We never have enough, or something is never just perfect, there's always room for improvement. This is a poem I wrote about this quote.
Good enough won't work
Good enough will never lurk
Around because it never is
We always want
Something better
We say we need perfection
Enough is never quite enough
Good enough never is

Science has been fun lately. We have been doing a lot of experiments ,which I, like and I have learned a lot. I have learned how many types of cells there are and how important they are. There are so many types of cells, skin cells, braiin cells, nerve cells, animal cells, plant cells and bacterial cells. Cells are the building structures of all life and even though they are very small. The only part about this unit that I do not like is all of the vocab.

ROAD OF LIFE
In a nice, clean house
Across a daily black route
To the best learning prison
With all my friends
Among my cruel enemies
Under the influence
Of my fellow peers
Against some of their hobbies
Throughout the entire day
On top of my learning
Into my favorite class
With my teacher Mr. Howard
Without any breaks
Down the road, Success
To high school and college

Lately I haven't read any books. Right now I am reading Heavier Than Heaven by Charles R. Cross. It is a biography of Kurt Cobain, the singer of Nirvana. I like it because it goes into detail of his life which is very interesting. The only problem with it is that it is very sad. At the age of 9 his parents divorced which made him get into some bad stuff.

At first blogging wasn't that bad but now I just don't like it as much. I honestly think that it would be a lot more easier just to write it down instead of doing this. You don't have to hit 100 different links to get there and it's faster for the kids that can't type well. Well that is just my opinion, call me crazy, but that's what I think.

Poetic Effects

There are many tools that poets use to have a special effect on their poem. Some of them may use emotion while others may use tone or a story. Emotion can be used to make the reader feel what the poet or character in the poem is feeling. Tone is also a big part in poetry because if the tone is very angry then the reader will likely read the poem as angry. In the "Highwayaman", when he is angry that Bess died the tone gets more angry and you read it as if you are angry.

"Compassion and tolerance ae not a sign of weakness,but a sign of strength." Dalai Lama.I think that this means that reaching out to someone or tolerating them is a good thing for your character and it is harder to do this instead of just ignore or hurt someone.I could apply this to my life by reaching out more like stopping someone from getting insulted repeatedly. If everyone followed this quote it would make the world a better place. It would mean that people would show compassion and help others not just walk by while someone is trying to pick up their books off the ground.This saying could be used to brighten someone's attitude because if they told one of their friends to stop bullying something and they were no longer friends you could tell them this saying. This could impact the world because if everyone followed this saying and did it people would be nicer.

This project went well for the most part. Working in a group this way was hard for me. We couldn't talk face to face and work things out. Getting your own part done was the easy part. Putting everyone else's work together was the hard part. Communicating was okay with our group. One thing that would have made this easier would have been if we would have had skype on this computer and talked to them.

Greece

Greece was a large place. I know that it made up of several city-states and each one had different laws. They often went to war with one another for land, money or some other thing. The city-states were also very prideful in their polis.
Right now in class we are doing multiple activities with the city-states. Right now we are trying to memorize the Greek alphabet which isn't easy. We also roll dice or spin a spinner to see if we gain or lose points for the day. I don't know what happens if you are the one with the most points by the end of the quarter.
