i just can't stand my teacher.. she's like an uberbitch sometimes
I mean, come on! Poetry is about subtlety. You can't just come right out and say what you mean...But all in all, it is an alright poem...what kind of response are you doing, and may I read it?Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast given,
And shall not soon depart.
He, who, from zone to zone,
Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight,
In the long way that I must tread alone,
Will lead my steps aright.
haha i haven't written it yet, but you can whenever i finish. we have to do poetry responses every other week over some random poem my teacher assigns. it's not really that big of an ordeal, just 24 lines in MLA format, but they just get to be a pain to do all the timelonelyelendi wrote:Interesting, IMO he is comparing death to the way a bird flys south. I don't really like it when poets call attention to their metaphors though:I mean, come on! Poetry is about subtlety.

I LOVE grammer...when I write essays, I spend more time trying to find the perfect word than I do composing my thesis (but the essay turns out well anyways!)senoritablanca wrote:haha yay i like nerds! i'm a hardcore english nerd.. major grammar nazi in the hizzouse.
my math teacher is basically a super genius... he graduated from west point and MIT then later went back to west point to teach.. not to mention he can solve a rubiks cube in like 15 seconds or something even though he's color blind

Yes, sorry it is so long...10 page paper has a long thesis...Making Economic Change in Africa Take Root
Africa is one of the world’s richest continents in terms of natural resources: huge diamond mines, massive oil fields, and vast copper, gold, and manganese deposits exist all over the continent. Yet, in spite of this abundance of rich natural resources, Africa remains one of the poorest continents in the world. Millions of Africans die of malnutrition, of diseases caused by dirty water, of HIV/AIDS, and of common colds. For decades, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as UNICEF and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have contributed millions to help end hunger in Africa, but little has changed.
The situation in Africa is similar to that of India and parts of Asia in the 1970s. However, the food crisis in those countries was alleviated when the “green revolution,” sparked by the work of Dr. Norman Borlaug in developing a wheat grain that could grow and produce a higher yield of wheat in spite of adverse conditions, caused a boom in the development of similar genetically modified crops. With the introduction of High-Yield Varieties (HYV) of crops like maize, cotton, soybeans, and other modified seeds, as well as the introduction of better agricultural techniques, the food crisis in India and Asia was alleviated (Bapna 1; Djurfeldt et al. 9).
In order to bring an end to the food crisis in Africa, humanitarian organizations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation must alter the way by which they seek to aid Africa. Both monetary contributions and technical assistance must be made to individual farmers, rather than distributing food and money to the population as a whole, because, without an agricultural market within Africa, the money donated must then be spent on foreign goods due to the fact that there is no market within Africa. This means that the money only satisfies the immediate needs of the population, rather than helping to create a sustainable economy. A second “green revolution” must occur before this sustainable economy can ever exist. There must be a reformation in the way crops are grown, and this includes the creation of a new generation of genetically modified crops, specifically designed for Africa, as well as a change in the way money is distributed across the country.
This is best summed up in the old adage: give a man a fish, feed him for a day; teach the man to fish, and feed him for a lifetime. It is time we stopped giving Africa fish, and rather, start teaching them to fish for themselves.
