The Federal Government can be successful from time to time‚ but being a bureaucracy of imperfect people‚ there are going to be problems. For me‚ one of the biggest problems with how our government operates is how they handle illegal immigration. An illegal immigrant is a person from another country who has entered unlawfully or resided in a country without authorization. I

Geese This poem [Wild Geese] is an unusual poem. Instead of following the usual guidelines of a poem (ABABAB‚ AABBAA‚ Haiku‚ etc.) it deviates‚ to the point at which it loses the luster of a song and gains that of a statement. And even though such statement has no rhythm‚ nor explainable format‚ our brains are tricked into reading it with a softer voice‚ similar to the voice one spares for a child’s nursery rhymes. Regardless of how it is presented‚ Wild Geese is a motivational poem‚ and that is

In this poem it talks about a little girl named Sophia Burns. Sophia talks about how playing on an a boys team affects how she plays. One piece of this poem that I really enjoy is that she is the only girl on her team and if any boys are mean she will bring the best game she’s got and prove the boys wrong. Another feature that I dig about Sophia´s poem it that she really tries to tell everyone how much she enjoys hockey‚ and that even if boys are mean‚ it will effect how she plays in a positive way

Fanning wrote the poem Child Carrier‚ which is one poem out of a set of poems‚ entitled Man Carrying A Corpse. I believe that this poem is about the main character‚ Man.

The Man was startled that the little girl touched Corpse without any reservations. Then the little girl told Man not to worry as she readjusted the large load she was
