  1. 5.Yes I agree with this.There is a very thin line between life and death.One minute you can be here and the next minute you could be gone. It happens in the blink of an eye.You never see it coming. But, when it happens it happens.

Emily Dickinson Quotes

”Forever is composed of nows.” ~ There is nothing that really last forever so I take this quote to mean that ones perception of forever is simply composed of the present. “That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.” ~ This quote could possible refer to something being bitter sweet. The fact that something good has happened and one was able to gain that experience makes life sweet in sense because life is all about experiences. “If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.” ~ The feeling of a heartbreak is absolutely awful. I feel that by stopping someone’s heart from breaking Emily felt as if she’d be saving that person which allowed her life to not be in vain. “If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry.” ~ The purpose of a book is to engage the reader and leave an impact on that reader.

King Lear Review

King Lear is an amazing play! The play uses its several characters,  to relay a very valuable life lesson. It teaches the importance of remaining humble and putting family first. This play is a prime example of why Shakespeare  is a literary  legend.  I'd refer this play to my closest friend, it's a true page turner and the definition of a good read!

Two Kinds

1.) Parents do pressure their children to achieve. I believe that this is so because the parents know the potential of their children and want the to be successful. 2. ) Children and their parents disagree upon things such as curfew, chores, relationships, and money. 3.) Personally, I believe that people can be anything that they want to be as long as they work hard enough to to achieve their dreams. 4.) I do not believe that all conflicts have a winner. If two people are arguing there are two sides of the argument, which could turn out any way. If the result of the argument is something that neither of the two people wanted then no one won the argument. 5.)The relationship I have with my parents differs greatly from the relationship that Chinese children have with their parents. My mother and father do expect nothing but the best from me, but they do not force me to do anything that I do not want to do.
