Postcard (ABSENT)

Plot to Kill Caesar (ABSENT)

If I was Cassius, or Brutus, and needed to make a plan to kill Caesar, I'd probably plan to do it in his sleep. I would find out when he would be at home. Then I would obtain some kind of poison or something that would kill him. I would then get someone who knows a lot about him and is his friend to put the poison into a drink of his (with the persuasion of some money). After the deed is done, I would kill the person who had given him the poison so that no one except I knew of what had happened. So in this way, no one would suspect me and everyone would think that he died due to some weird sickness or other cause.

Melinda vs. Caged Bird

Melinda is alike and different than the caged and free bird in Maya Angelou's poem "Caged Bird". Melinda is a lot like the caged bird. She has been through a traumatic experience and feels that she cannot tell anyone about it. By not telling anyone, she is trapped by her fear. When she finally decides to speak out against Andy and save herself from her own fear, she becomes free. She is free from the pain and fear that has been holding her back. Never again will Melinda let anyone or anything hold her back.

"Suicide" Blog Post

I honestly cannot comprehend why someone would chose to kill themselves. I have quite a temper, am angered easily, and have been bullied, but I would never, ever end my own life. To me, life is a precious gift from God, that is to be ended by his way and at his time. On the other hand, I do understand that there are many situations that could make someone think suicidal thoughts. Some kids have a really rough home life. Their parents may be addicts and/or split up. Along with this, the kids could be bullied at school by other kids and even indirectly by teachers. They are shown no love whatsoever from their family, friends, and teachers. If this was the situation, I guess I can kind of see how someone would want to end it all. To them, committing suicide must look like heaven- a better place. They must see it as an escape from it all and their last resort to relieve themselves of their horrible misery. I hope that some kind hand will reach to these people before they are pushed to their breaking point.
