i have written a poem have a look at it and please tell me what you think.the title is A Boat.
It is the darkest night of the year.
You are in a boat with your best friend;
You’ve know each other since you were born
You love each other so much that you promise
No matter what happens, you will always stay together.
Deep woods and dark night hug you
And only God knows what blood-thirsty and hungry animals are out there
You both keep on paddling with these haunting thoughts
But feel warm and comfort from each other’s presence.
Everything seems to go against you,
Even the wind does not seem merciful tonight.
Then your friend says,
"Can you paddle alone for a while? My arms are really tired."
This is your reply," my arms are tired too,
If we paddle together for five more minutes,
I am sure we will reach our destination."
Your friend replies," I can not move my arms for a second,
And you are talking about five minutes!"
You can sense the edginess in your friend's voice
But reply in a very calm manner, "if we try to co-operate,
And not be selfish we can cross this lake very soon".
This makes your friend even more furious and she starts to argue.
Then you both end up yelling and shouting at each other.
In all that chaos you both realize that your paddles have fallen deep in the lake
… Perhaps you will soon loose control of your boat!
But instead of finding any solution to rescue yourselves
You start blaming each other for all this trouble.
You both are so furious that you would rather swim to your destination
Than sit with one another.
You become so unaware of your surroundings and yourselves
That in a blink of an eye your boat drowns
And you die.

cherry blossom tree
lovely piece of nature-art
blowing in the wind
a blossom falls to the ground
the sun is unveiled
trees glimmer all around me
with internal joy
the most beautiful of plants

And without it I fail the class. Here's the paper I am doing on Reforming Welfare, I didn't get alot of time to do it and I turned it in but the teacher thought it was terrible and sent it back to me to redo, and graded a 25/100. Here's the paper...

"Reforming Welfare
Welfare reform is the changing policy to reduce dependence on welfare. Reforming welfare must be done."

Now I just need a really good thesis on that, I couldn't fit the whole paper on this.

"The ways we do the welfare reform is by making the welfare recipients work for their money. We rehabilitate them into work."

And that's the end. And I need a good Conclusion with a restatement of the Thesis. Because, obviously, my Thesis wasn't good enough.

I currently have a child with speech problems that is very violent. He understands that what he is doing is wrong because he either hides or covers his ears. The problem is in hitting other children and respecting authority. The hitting ranges to mild from violent and he throws amazing tantrums when reprimanded. The child age 4, comes from a divorced family and lives with his newly wed father. He's knows of the problem but the conduct persists, what can be done?

Hi, I'm 14 live in Canada, and me and my Dad both agree we want me to homeschool. So, were both a little confused about how to go about this, so could anyone find some sort of program or homeschooling guide or something like that to help us get started? Please remember I do live in Canada so make sure its supported, and I am half way through Grade 9 at a public school allready. Thanks.

I have UT at Austin, SMU, TCU and NYU that I wish to attend. I wish to either become a screenwriter or playwright. NYU would be my first choice, but I might not be able to afford it. I do have very good grades and am highly active in theatre. I know early decision is binding. What should I pick?

I just really dont get it, and I know you homeschool parents may get sensitive with my question, but I would just like to know. I think that you get more social skills being in a public or even a private school. You need those skills to survive in the real world, and I dont understand how staying at home all day with your mom or dad learning stuff helps with you social skills.

Okay, so, I have this project where I have to teach my Psychology class anything. (Okay, nothing bad. Something school-appropriate.) If anybody has a quick, easy skill, I'd LOVE to know what it is. Oh, and I have to be able to teach it to them in 10 minutes.
