Don't Stop and Smell the Roses

              If a crime was being committed, I would try to stop the crime because you could be charged with association. For instance, students that taped a school fight got suspended as well as the students that were fighting because the instigated the fight. However, if the crime was very dangerous and life threatening, then I would call the police or my family. For instance, young people that try to commit suicide usually say their last good-byes to someone. Then, the person that's listening usually calls someone else to stop the problem or stop it themselves. Finally, I would stop the crime because I want the person to feel like there are other options to do that's better than committing a crime. In fact, I want the person to think about their future and who they're impacting.




 

America

America, I know about your sick twisted ways.
America, when will the violence end.
When is it ever "right" to use an atomic bomb?
America, when will you be lynched?
I'm part of the American minority.
I'm Harriet Tubman.
I'm the slaves from the Atlantic Slave Trade.
America, why are you so scared?
For all you know, I could be a spy.
America, are you just going to ignore our economic issues?
When will the gap close?
I'm not America, nor American.
I'm not talking to myself.
I'm not delusional.
America, I have my own mind.
America, you may have freedom but you don't have class.
Get ready for change.

My Hidden Identity

                  I'm someone that wants to be exposed to the world and people without showing too much of myself. I always avoid the opportunity to show my true self. However, the ironic thing about me is that I don't even know my true self yet. Not only do I avoid opportunities, I also avoid myself. I'm someone that closes and seals like a vault when a door opens. In The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, I relate to the ducks and the fish in the lagoon that Holden questions about during the winter. My similarity to the ducks and fish are because of the ducks and fish's symbolism. The ducks fly away from the lagoon during the winter while the fish stay under the water. Similarly to the ducks, I want to escape my environment and problems. Unfortunately, I end up getting stuck and staying in my environment.
