I am poem

I am an enjoyable guy who likes to play guitar.
I wonder what the point of war is.
I hear a zebra barking.
I see an elephant sleeping.
I want a car.
I am an enjoyable guy who likes to play guitar.

I pretend Im Jesus.
I feel someone calling my name.
I touch your hand.
I worry about 2012.
I cry when I see an old guy at a resteraunt alone.
I am an enjoyable guy who likes to play guitar.

I understand the point of school.
I say grass is green.
I dream about very random things.
I try to be a good person.
I hope the world will change.
I am an enjoyable guy who likes to play guitar.

Chevy volt


The chevy volt is a new car which is all electric.  It starts at $37,980 and is the 2011 motor trend car of the year.  It can use gas but only is you really need to.
  It will take you anywhere from the local store to long distance road trips.  Drivers and passengers are in a very safe car and shouldnt have anything to worry about.  The battery has been through very many environmental tests to see if it would harm it in any way.  The car has been programmed with three different driving features for any type of driver.  Normal mode, sport mode, and mountain mode.  That is just about all you need to know about this car and how its changing our future.
  If this car becomes very widely used we wont have to rely on foreign oil and it will solve many problems.    
It would stop fighting over seas and solve economy problems.
  This car would also help the environment and atmosphere dramatically.  All the pollutants from regular cars arent contained in this car and it would improve our air quality very much.  Also the loud noises from other cars bother nature but the quitness of this one wouldnt.

Simple man

A song that I like and makes a lot of sense to me would be Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
   This song is a fairly old song by a band thats well known.  The song was produced August 13th, 1973.  Shortly after Ronnie Van Zants grandmother and Gary Rossingtons mother died, they got together in Van Zants apartment and shared stories about their mothers.  Rossington came up with a chord progression and Van Zant made the lyrics.  The song was made in about an hour.  Even though the words say, "sit beside me, my only son" Ronnie was not the only son.  He had two older brothers and one older sister along with a younger sister.
   Basically the song tells you to respect what you have and respect things in your life like family and friends.  Personally this is one of my favorite songs.  I like it because it really shows me how much I have.  It has been covered by many bands but I think I like the original the best. 
   The sound of the song is blues rock.  It starts off in the begginning slower but as it progresses it gets faster and more exiting.  Theres a very catchy guitar riff in the intro followed by a strong chorus.
   That is all I have to say about this song.  Definantly one of my favorites.

Huck Finn

  The book I just finished reading was The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.  This was a good book that had a good lesson.  Everyone is created equal.
  This story begins in fictional St. Petersburg, Missouri, on the Mississippi River, sometime between 1835 and 1845.  Huck has been set under the control of the widow douglas.  But soon after his father "pap" gets full custody and they move back into the woods.  Not satisfied with his life Huck escapes from the cabin, fakes his own death, and sets off down the Mississippi River where he meets Jim.
  While living quite well on the river, Huck encounters Mrs. Watsons slave Jim.  He learns that Jim is also a runaway.  Jim is trying to go to Ohio where there is freedom to buy his family some.   At first Huck debates whether or not he should tell someone about Jim running away but as they talk he realizes that he was actually a nice person.  He tells him about his hard past and Huck changes his mind about people, slavery, and life overall.  
  Further down the river Jim and Huck rescue two cunning grifters who join them on the raft.  After the four fugitives have drifted far enough from the town, the king takes advantage of Hucks temporary absence to sell his interest in the "escaped" slave Jim for forty dollars.  Huck gets very mad about this whole situation and decides to help free Jim.  Sadly his plan doesn't work and Jim gets recaptured.  
  Although he got recaptured events quickly unfold.  Jim is freed in the will of Miss Watsons death.  In the final narrative Huck says he is tired of writing his story and that he intends to flee west to Indian territory.
