The Episcopal Knights of 2014 have just ended their regular season with a with against a division three A school, Saint Charles Catholic. We started the season off rough; however, we are better than ever. We have a strong and clever defense that will only let up on average about four runs a game. Our offense is also very strong and can score about five runs a game. Every game we have won has been very close, but end the end we have easily defeated the opponent with many hours of hard work on and off the field.
The playoffs start Wednesday, but we will know when and where we play Tuesday afternoon. Most likely, we will play on the road, then if we win we will play at home. I believe that we will make it all the way to the finals and win it, but we will need lots of support from family, friends, and the community. Everyone should come support our fellow knights, whether it is home or away, and cheer us on until we win it all.

Two Statements

If you are in a position of power, you are happy. I disagree with this statement because you will always be stressed out with things. For example, if you are the king of England, there will always be violence or disagreement within the country. There will also be that one group of people that hates everything about you and what you do.  This relates to Macbeth because Macbeth himself is in a high position, and just in scene one he is fighting for his life against dozens of other people.

Everyone is capable of lying, betrayal, and violence, which are basic parts of human nature. Everyone will be temped to do one of these basic parts of nature. It doesn’t matter where you grew up or how you were taught to do things; lying, betrayal, and violence is going to occur more than once in your lifetime. This relates to Macbeth because in the same fighting scene there was violence everywhere; blood, hate, anger.

My Poem

Going to Kindergarten by David Tatman

I was small student strolling to class

Eager to learn with no knowledge

Excited in the new uniform

I smell the scent of the school

Missing the scent of my dwelling

I want to go home, but it is to late now

Warm greeting from teachers

Faces I’ve never seen before

Numbers and letters

Watching the colossal kids stomp

Imagining myself above five feet

Being the boss of the school

It is the first day; I expect fun and games

I don’t know what I’m getting into

Excited for nothing

Analyze a Song

The song “Umbrella” by Rihanna featuring Jay-Z, Rihanna is saying that she is close to an important person in her life; however, he doesn’t feel emotionally attached like she does. She shows this through her words and tone. On the second paragraph, she states, “When the clouds come we gone, we Rocafella,” which is a symbol because she means that they will run off together when the person changes his mind about her. She uses stronger words in the song to get the audiences attention such as “you’re part of my entity, here for infinity.” Enjambment was used to create a dramatic effect; “precipitation. Stack chips…” in the second paragraph.

Things I noticed in this song were some sound patterns and rhymes. I first noticed assonance at the end of each line on the third paragraph; heart, apart, star, dark, cars. The “a” sound was repeated over and over which came to my attention. Also, I saw sibilance in the chorus; “When the sun shines, we’ll shine.” I noticed that the chorus also has euphony because of its use of smoothness. Also, on the last paragraph, there may be a use of an anaphora; “It’s raining, raining,” which is repeated about four times.
