Back then:

I just want Willy to be happy. He works his butt off to provide for his family. He wants Biff and Hap to be successful and well liked, and If thats what he wants, I want it to. They should do what their father wants them to do, considering what he has done for them. I know we don't got a lot of money right now, and that's our first problem. But, Willie just can't accept that, so we don't mention it much.

Now:

I understand Willie has hopes and dreams for his boys, but sometimes you've got to just let them go and do what THEY want to do. If they're happy by accomplishing whatever they accomplish, than I am satisfied and Willie should be too. Not everyone is the same. We are all different and we can't be expecting everyone to go along with what another person wants them to... If the boys become farmers, they've achieved their goals and that's what I'm proud of! We don't got a lot of money now either, but money isn't everything. I've got my family and that what I am most proud and excited about.. We will survive of that I'm sure.

Dialogue

"Olivia, guess what I heard my parents say last night!" - Waverly

"What?" - Olivia

"I'll just start right at the beginning, I was pretty sure they were discussing my birthday, so I got my ear real close the the door, and first I heard my mom say..."

Mother:  "We only have a few month to decide..."

Father: " I know, I just want to make sure its the right decision."

Mother: "Either way, it's a good decision."

Father: "But, we got to decide on money, school/work time, and make sure we're prepared!"

Mother: "Well, if we do our first choice, it would be less costly, money and time wise, but the second option is what I want to do."

Father: "I know, but we don't always get to do what we want to do, dear..."

Mother: "But, its her birthday, and growing up I always imagined my daughters 5th birthday being a certain way, and I am just set on it, Michael."

Father: "I'll check at work to get the time off of work, and you talk to her school."

"So, I know were going somewhere and I figured we were gonna go visit my grandma, but I kept listening.. " - Waverly


Mother: "Oh my gosh, I am so excited. Where should we stay? I'll look online and decide where, okay?"

Father: "Well, you are the big planner in the family. I assume everything should be set and ready to go my midnight!"

Mother: "I might be more excited than Waverly will be when she finds out."

Father: "Why don't we tell her?"

Mother: "She's asleep, Michael!"

Father: "You haven't been hearing all the movement in her room?!"

Mother: "I must have been too excited! Waverly, come here, please."

"And, then they told me that we are going to WALT DISNEY WORLD during my birthday! I am so excited, Olivia!"

Test Prep

The statement "form follows function" has been brought up many a time in class and I still wasnt exactly sure how it applied to poetry.

These video is about architecture, not poetry but the way its defined still kinda could fall into poetry.

Test Prep.

I have a hard time figuring out how to measure a poem in feet. THIS website is rather informative.


This video is a fun way to learn about the IAMBIC PENTAMETER. 

I see a generation of change.

Who will stand up for anyone being brought down by a bully, who will help those in need and those who are struggling more than the rest of us.

Who will be there for someone with an listening ear, with no strings attached.

Who will come forward and be proud to be an American, and stand beside their fellow Americans regardless of their background, race, sexual orientation, religion, or size.

I see a generation of enlightenment.

Who will show generations before ours that hate isn't acceptable, under any circumstance. How a person is a person. A beating heart.


Who will prove that the change is coming. Gay's will marry. Women will control their bodies. and Our monies will be ours.

I see a generation of Acceptance.

Who will be part of the change. Proving that we are accepted and accepting. We love and will be loved. Regardless of flaws.
