- The first element from the poem is dramatic situation. The speaker of the poem is the rapper 2pac and from the poem we can tell he is a sad guy who often is upset. We can tell from his circumstances that the people around him don't care enough about him to help him with his depression.
- The structure of the poem is it is one stanza but has three last little lines by themselves. All the lines in the poem relate to the fact that he is depressed but has to hid that from the people around him. Each line is a complete thought that continues off of the last one. There is only repetition in the lines with "I Cry" in them and the poem has a rhyming scheme to it.
- The theme of the poem is that most people do have as sensitive side to them. Tupac was supposed to be this bad guy who is tough and doesn't let anything get to him. When really he was more vulnerable then almost everyone gave him credit. He even had to act like this tough guy in front of the people around him because they didn't care about his soft side. The theme is don't judge a book by it's cover.
- The grammar the author uses is proper but the lines are fragments. The author doesn't continue off of these fragments so his thoughts are complete to the audience. There is a lot of meaning to his words that go beyond the literal meanings of the words.
- I think that this poem does have a lot of literal and figurative language. When he repeats "I cry but only when I'm alone," he is literally meaning that the only time when he does get to cry and let his emotions out is when he is by himself. The figurative language he uses is like, "they flow with life but take no form," by that he is talking about his tears and how they don't really show up but they flow throughout his daily life.
- The important words of the poem are, "I Cry", "only when I'm alone", and "I would cry among my treasure friend." These are the most important words because the author is letting us know that he does in fact cry but he only does this when he is alone. If he did have a friend that cared then he would spill his emotions to that person, but since he doesn't he has to hide those feelings.
- The tone of this poem is sad and gloomy. He wants the audience to know that there is this side to him that is depressed and is going through tough times in life, but really has no one to turn to and help him out.
- There are some literary techniques like metaphors and a hyperbole. His metaphors compare his tears to the way people perceive him. He says that his tears are bitter and warm, and this may be because he doesn't want to have these emotions to keep his tough guy image but it does feel good to let them out when he can. He exaggerates the fact that his crying takes form and is with him all the time.
- The procedure of the poem is there is a distinct flow to it, that is easy for the reader to comprehend what his message his. There is also a rhythm to it and that also helps to the reader. The rhyme is ever two lines are grouped together throughout.

9 Elements of Poetry
The poem I choose awhile ago was "I Cry" by Tupac Shakur. It meant a lot to me and I thought it brought a different side to the rapper Tupac.

Why he wrote it?
Charles Dickens wrote the book Great Expectations to portray life during this time in England. It is a semi-autobiographical story and is claimed to be his darkest writing. It is supposed to be his greatest use of plot, characterization, and style and the masterpiece of Dickens' works. His use of symbolism of the mist shows how some might consider this too be his darkest writing. He uses diction and syntax that is very descriptive and that's why some consider that to be his greatest use of plot, characterization, etc.

Great Expectations (1st 10 pages)
In the opening of this novel we are introduced to the main character whose name is Pirrip. He starts off in a churchyard in England. A man with a iron leg confronts him and we learn that Pip has lived with his sister his whole life. This is some what similar to how Dickens was raised because he had to grow up without his family and have to over come not having a lot. The man threatens Pip to bring him back some food and if he doesn't then this young boy will find him and kill him. This shows that it was hard growing up in Englad durinf these times because food was scarce and people would have to steal.

Literature 4
Bless Me, Ultima
By: Rudolfo A. Anaya
1. When Antonio is young, the old healer Ultima comes to stay with him and his family in their small house in Guadalupe, New Mexico. The family has taken in Ultima out of a respect for her healing powers, her knowledge of plant lore, and her long use of folk magic in service of the community. Though they have great respect for Ultima’s spirituality, the family, especially Antonio’s mother, is devoutly Catholic. When he was born, Ultima served as his midwife and buried his afterbirth. As a result, it is now thought that she alone knows what lies in Antonio’s future. One night, Antonio's innocence is threatened when he witnesses the death of Lupito, a soldier who recently returned from World War II. Lupito is shot to death by a mob after he kills the sheriff in a moment of post-traumatic delirium. After seeing Lupito’s death, Antonio begins to wonder about sin, death, and hell. Antonio walks to church with Ultima the next morning, and she tells him that each person must make his or her own moral choices, must choose a set of values to use to understand the world. Antonio goes to visit the garden of Narciso, the town drunk. Afterward, they go to see the golden carp. Antonio’s friend Cico tells him that only true believers can see the carp. Cico says that if the people cannot stop sinning, the carp will flood the land to rid it of humanity’s evil. Antonio wishes sadly that there were a god of forgiveness. He idolizes the Virgin Mary because of the ideal of forgiveness that she represents.Ultima continues to teach Antonio lessons about moral independence and goodness. He goes with her to dispel the ghosts in a haunted house, and they discover that Tenorio has caused the haunting in order to take revenge on the man who owns the house. Ultima drives away the ghosts, but when the second of Tenorio’s daughters falls ill, he begins to regard Ultima with even more hatred. Not long after that, Florence drowns while swimming in the river. Ultima sends Antonio to stay with his uncles to recover from the shock, and he spends a happy summer with them, learning how to tend a farm. On the journey there, Antonio and Gabriel talk about some of the questions that have been bothering Antonio, and Gabriel tells him that he will end the conflict between the Márezes and the Lunas and let Antonio choose his own destiny. As Antonio makes his way from his uncles’ fields to his grandfather’s house one day toward the end of the summer, a murderous Tenorio chases after him. Antonio escapes, but Tenorio shoots Ultima’s owl. When the owl dies, Ultima is doomed to die as well because the owl is her spiritual familiar, or guardian. Antonio sits with her at her bedside and buries the owl as she requests after she dies.
2. The theme of this book is the importance of independence. Antonio’s progress toward moral independence is the main marker of his maturity and development throughout the novel. Antonio’s struggle to reconcile the complexities of his experience with his religion leads him to conclude that he must make his own decisions. He becomes increasingly frustrated by the failure of the church to explain the most pressing questions about morality and human experience. Ultima acts as Antonio’s guide as he learns the importance of moral independence. Ultima teaches him that the most difficult questions about life can never be answered entirely by a single religion or cultural tradition. Antonio has questions about evil, forgiveness, truth, and the soul, questions he can answer only for himself. Antonio once believed that the Communion ritual would answer all his questions, but Ultima teaches him that he must think for himself and arrive at his own conclusions.
3. For the most part, the narrator’s tone is serious and lyrical, with simple, poetic language used to describe Antonio’s struggles. The tone of the novel generally matches the mood of its main character. "The orange of the golden carp appeared at the edge of the pond. . . . We watched in silence at the beauty and grandeur of the great fish. Out of the corners of my eyes I saw Cico hold his hand to his breast as the golden carp glided by. Then with a switch of his powerful tail the golden carp disappeared into the shadowy water under the thicket." "God! Why did Lupito die? Why do you allow the evil of the Trementinas? Why did you allow Narciso to be murdered when he was doing good? . . . A thousand questions pushed through my mind, but the Voice within me did not answer. . . . The mass was ending, the fleeting mystery was already vanishing."
4. There are symbols used in this book one being Golden Carp. The golden carp represents a magical religious order not connected to Catholicism. The golden carp legend offers its own brand of wisdom, comfort, and moral guidance. There is also Ultima's owl represents represents her life force and the power of her religious mysticism. The owl sings softly outside Antonio’s window at night. Its song symbolizes Ultima’s comforting presence in Antonio’s life and the protective power of her magic. At the end of the novel, Tenorio’s killing of the owl literally destroys Ultima’s life force and leads very quickly to her death. Antonio equates Ultima with the owl when he buries it, he says that he is really burying Ultima. One of the motifs is family The recurring presence of various family relationships uncles, siblings, and parents, especially provides a subtle commentary on the nature of identity and ultimately underscores the book’s main theme of moral independence. Many of Antonio’s family members seek to define his future, especially his uncles, who argue about whether he will become a priest or a vaquero. Antonio looks to other members of his family to help define his identity, especially when he tries to model himself after Andrew, his older brother. In the end, Antonio must learn to make his own choices, drawing from the wisdom and experience of his family, but not being limited by their wishes and perspective.

Meaning of Great Expectations
As a young man, Pip is led into making grave mistakes based on his false expectation of being a gentleman, his false expectation of marrying Estella, and his general false expectation of rising above his past. Ultimately, he learns that true worth comes from inside a man, and turns away from his once-great expectations.
Big Question
Wouldn't it be great to make nearly $111 million a year simply to play a game? Tiger Woods, along with many other professional athletes, certainly think so. But do these athletes really deserve all that money? In my mind, absolutely not. Professional athletes are making too much money in a society where salaries and wages are traditionally based on the value of one's work. In today's society, one should be paid according to the job’s economic importance and their value to society.
Teaching is one of the most economically important occupations because our future economy relies on the education of its youth, yet teachers are paid enormously less than the average professional athlete is. In fact, each basket Kobe Bryant scores earns him equivalent to the average classroom teacher’s yearly salary. However, some may argue that while teacher’s only provide service to a single classroom, superstar athletes are entertaining fans all around the world, enticing people with a feeling of relaxation and excitement
What these people must not be aware of is the most important man in our nation, the president, who makes critical decisions that affect the entire world every day, only makes $400,000 a year. While President Obama is hard at work reviving the economy, the unproven rookie in the MLB is earning way over that figure. Also public servants like police officers, firefighters, and doctors save lives while risking their own for a fraction of what sports stars make. People in the military leave their families at home to defend and protect the country knowing they may never return. It's truly a pity that none of these true heroes are given the same recognition by society as athletes such as Brett Favre or Michael Jordan are given.
While I do understand that making it into the pros is not an easy thing to do, and that it takes a tremendous number of hours of hard work and dedication every day to earn a job in professional sports, these people do nothing more than entertain the general public. If these athletes want to continue to be rewarded with the fame and fortune that is unfairly bestowed upon them, they must prove to the world that they are going to be positive role models for future athletes, and those who admire them.
These infamous players must grow up, and prove to America that they can be positive role models for kids on and off the field. They may get leeway when it comes to their salaries, but the law should be overpowered by any amount of talent. If Alex Rodriguez earns the same amount of money as it would take to feed the nation's poor for a year, he can’t cheat and take steroids. What kids learn from successful ballplayers like him is that “It’s okay for me to use illegal substances, because in the long run, it will pay off by earning me an enormous contract.” In order for these players to gain respect, they need to have a more significant impact on the community.
Finally, what really puzzles me, is how athletes get upset when athletes say that millions of dollars won't be able to support him and his family, and that they need more. What puzzles me even more, is how after holding out for weeks, and sometimes months, the owners give in and pay them what they don't deserve. Think about Jamarcus Russel, the former No. 1 overall pick in the '07 draft. He is on a six-year $68 million contract, with $31 million guaranteed. In simpler terms, that means that despite currently being recognized as one of the biggest busts of all time, and even if he were to get injured tomorrow and never play again, he will still have $31 million in the bank. In any other job, if you don't perform to your expectations, you're fired. There is no guaranteed money.
The whole system that allows professional athletes and entertainers to just swim around in money is simply ridiculous, and it needs to stop. When asking people whether they think athletes are paid way too much money, most people would have to agree with me.
