Essay

Of Mice and Men most definetley meets the qualifications of good literature. It has tragedy of universal fear, and human heart conflict. When thanking the Swedish Academy, Steinbeck gave a speech on good literature, he proved Of Mice and Men was a brilliant example.
A good novel shows love, humiliation, conflict, and high spirits in characters or objects. In Steinbecks words, he knew that the understanding and the resolution of fear are a large part of the writers reason for being. Understanding your characters is what good writing is all about, knowing when their emotions are high or low.
The character, George, in Of Mice and Men was a prime example of good literature. In the book George comes off tough and rugged but soon shows a huge hearted side. From the novel he repeatively says "...If I was alone I could live so easy. I could go get a job an work, an no trouble at all...and whatta got? I got you." George wishes he could be a man of no worries but he loves Lennie, another character, and doesn't want anything to happen to him.
Lennie is also a fine example. Lennie means no harm at all, he loves everything. Read in the novel "I could go off and live in those hills..." Lennie knows he makes things difficult on George, he tries so hard to make things right because he loves George.
This novel shows faults, failures, greatness and conflict. Steinbeck met every qualification there is to meet in good writing. The present universal fear has been the result of a forward surge of our knowledge and manipulation of certain dangerous factors in the physical world.

Outside My House

whenever I step out into this picture the smell that runs into my nose is dist, wood, and animals. I open my mouth for a breath and dirt touches my tongue from the wind. Distracting me from the awful taste is the sound of turkeys flocking in the field, birds in the air, and the whistling of the wind. Bracing myself, I feel the cold wind hit my face. Takiing all my senses in, I stop to observe the turkeys, trees, rocks, grass, dirt and the fence that seperates me and these things.

I Am poem

I am outgoing and happy
I wonder who i'll marry
I hear voices
I see colors
I want lots of money
I am outgoing and happy

I pretend im in a music videos in my head
I feel like I will fly one day
I touch clouds
I worry about the economy in 10 years
I cry when someone dies
I am outgoing and happy

I understand Facebook
I say be honest
I dream of being in a Harry Potter movie
I try to be the best
I hope for a great life
I am outgoing and happy

In the muslim religion ot is like a relationship,this world means nothing to them, they love no one but themselves and their God. So killing innocent people for glory is nothing to them. They feel that God wants them to do it and they should worship him. Why would the terrorist have to say so many supplications? Makes themselves rightfully pure...so they may enter "Heaven".
