Poets in WWI

1.)
"How to Die"

Dark clouds are smouldering into red
While down the craters morning burns.
The dying soldier shifts his head
To watch the glory that returns;
He lifts his fingers toward the skies
Where holy brightness breaks in flame;
Radiance reflected in his eyes,
And on his lips a whispered name.

You'd think, to hear some people talk,
That lads go West with sobs and curses,
And sullen faces white as chalk,
Hankering for wreaths and tombs and hearses.
But they've been taught the way to do it
Like Christian soldiers; not with haste
And shuddering groans; but passing through it
With due regard for decent taste.

2.) This poem has a lot to do with the war, its talking a lot about pain, without saying the actual word, i like that, also, its talking about "funerals/people dying" It also explains how the men soldiers go off into war, and the woman [lads] are crying and cursing, because they know that there is a big chance their man wont come back. The way the man wrote this is very descriptive, but you have to have common sense to understand it.

3.) Biograpy on Siegfried Sassoon-
Sassoon was born September, 8th, 1886, and he died in 1967. He became an English Poet, "He became known as a writer of satirical anti-war verse during World War I. He later won acclaim for his prose work, notably his three-volume fictionalized autobiography, collectively known as the "Sherston Trilogy"." Sassoon was born at Weirleigh hospital. His father, Alfred Ezra Sassoon (1861-1895) "came from the wealthy Indian Baghdadi Jewish Sassoon merchant family but was disinherited for marrying outside the faith. His mother, Theresa, belonged to the Thorny-croft family, sculptors responsible for many of the best-known statues in London"

The movie event of the Millenium

I chose this song, because its explaining not to give up hope, things will get better, and in the end of the movie we just saw, all the soldiers were singing for hope, letting the other guy (im guessing the lutenent) know that they believe in hope.
WWI is harsh, these people have families. They need hope. Another reason i chose this song.. is because when my grandma was in the hospitol for cancer, she asked me to get her an mp3 player and put one song on there. So we ended up getting her one, and i put this song: Don't stop believin' by journey, and she asked me to put it on repeat so i did and she listened to it over and over again, she said it brought her positive thinking. she died 3 months later than the doctor told her she would.

PROJECT (kala may g, vanessa a, nicole s, jordan m)

Dear editor,
We have a big problem with the sanitation in the city. Sanitation affects our health more than anything. The main cause is pollution, which leads to health problems, disease and death in animals and their habitats. Unsanitary conditions were things such as, drinking water, food, hygiene and working conditions. We should have more vaccines, antibiotics and more opportunities to help prevent unsanitary conditions. Sicknesses that are spreading include, malaria, MRSA, hepatitis A, diarrhea, tuberculosis, etc. Most of these sicknesses are diseases, which don’t have a cure yet. The factories and industrial products take up half of the pollution caused in this city. The smoke coming from the factories lead to a lot of the diseases listed before. Oil spills also cause unsanitary conditions for a lot of animals. By losing animals, we also lose a lot of meat to provide for everyone, which decrease protein in our bodies. These diseases are decreasing the population from day to day. Fast food restaurants don’t clean their supplies as much as they should. They also reuse their oil, which can cause diarrhea.

immigrants! creativity!

This doesnt tell us: how many kids they have, why they look so sad, money problems.

My choice: the guy thats standing looking @ the camera (3rd from the left) in the suit.

His thoughts:
Why is this person taking a picture of me. oh my gosh this line is long. my life is over, people took my things, my home, and i dont know what is going to happen next. if i have a disease i could be sent back. i dont know how i feel right now. my emotions are mixed up.
This is their story, who they are:
This guys name is, Roger Henry Clay. He came from Texas. He is 36 years old, and born july 17th, 1943. This man WAS a buisnessman, had alot of money, wife and 2 kids, his purpose in life was to make others happy, and make peace with the world, and others. His kids are gone, he doesnt know where they are, his wife in front of him, and he doesnt know whats going to happen next. He got checked in, he had no diseases, he got followed in.

rise of the industry.

i know this is late, but i couldnt figure out how to do this... i talked to you today mr burns. (10/13/09)



the 2nd picture, [standard oil co.]

the standard oil co. knocked alot of small companies out of buisness.
the picture i believe, shows the oil company "taking over" and pulling everyone into their "plan".

titans of industry

John D. Rockfeller-
when he started working he gave 10 % of his paycheck (from the 1st one) to his church.
he also gave donations to dension university and other baptist collages, he funded alot of things and helped alot of people.


Andrew Carneigie- Carnegie gave $40,000 for the establishment of a free library in Dunfermline. In 1884, he gave $50,000 to Bellevue hospitol medical collage "to found a laboratory, now called the Carniegie labrotory." he also gave away most of his money to libraries, schools, and universities in america


philanthropic endeavors- i like them both, because John gave to families and helped alot of people, and Andrew gave alot to libraries and schools, which helped alot of people too.
