you to reflect, empathize and/or connect to marginalized people in the novel or
in today's society?

More Changes to the Blog
Moderators here!
So the blog is kinda dark making it hard to post stuff sometimes and yea..... so we'll need to change some colors and what not. So, we need a new background, not that the one we have now isn't cool but.... any suggestions?
Also, we have been looking at other blogs and we noticed that what many of them has is a banner that serves as the title for the blog. If you have any ideas, turn it in at class or comment below.
Thank.!

Posting Profile Pictures
Moderators here! Just reminding everyone that they must, must, MUST upload a profile picture. It does not have to be a picture of yourselves, but any image that is eye-catching and represents you. The moderators will continuously be checking up on your posts and comments, so make sure to keep up your posting!
Poetry Night
Choose one or both poems to comment on. Remember to respond to two other comments and post a TPQ.
The brooding ghosts of Australian night have gone from the bush and town;
My spirit revives in the morning breeze,
though it died when the sun went down;
The river is high and the stream is strong,
and the grass is green and tall,
And I fain would think that this world of ours is a good world after all.
The light of passion in dreamy eyes, and a page of truth well read,
The glorious thrill in a heart grown cold of the spirit I thought was dead,
A song that goes to a comrade's heart, and a tear of pride let fall --
And my soul is strong! and the world to me is a grand world after all!
Let our enemies go by their old dull tracks,
and theirs be the fault or shame
(The man is bitter against the world who has only himself to blame);
Let the darkest side of the past be dark, and only the good recall;
For I must believe that the world, my dear, is a kind world after all.
It well may be that I saw too plain, and it may be I was blind;
But I'll keep my face to the dawning light,
though the devil may stand behind!
Though the devil may stand behind my back, I'll not see his shadow fall,
But read the signs in the morning stars of a good world after all.
Rest, for your eyes are weary, girl -- you have driven the worst away --
The ghost of the man that I might have been is gone from my heart to-day;
We'll live for life and the best it brings till our twilight shadows fall;
My heart grows brave, and the world, my girl, is a good world after all.
Two Lips Touching
Two lips touching
Soft as silk
Their owners blushing
From compliments given
And gladly
Received
Two lips touching
Offered love and care
Mixing, mingling
With help from friends
Buzzing with
Happiness
Two lips touching
In the cold
Feeling frozen
But not really
Concerned
Two lips touching
Bringing beauty to the world
Barely blossoming
Showing off
Gladly
Two lips touching
Meeting in the wind
Parting, proudly
Then back together
Again
Two lips touching
Together for so long
Wilting, waiting
At the end of their
Time
After All by Henry Lawson
