A wrinkle in time

Appreciation
A wrinkle in time
   In a wrinkle in time,I appreciate megs personality because she has different sides to her.I like how she can be immature, yet, mature. She has so many things going on that I can talk about her for hours. She can also be smart, yet, dumb (well as people said). Meg can also be a little bit careless, yet, protective.
   I think meg is" immature, yet, mature" because she does things in a childish way. But she knows why she does it. What I'm saying is, meg does things, like handles situations in a childish way but she does the childish things in actual situation.
   Another reason why I appreciate meg's personality is because she can be "smart, yet, dumb" (as people said). I appreciate that because it shows the reader a lesson " you can't judge someone until you know them. I also appreciate this because even though the book is science fiction it kinda shows "real life" in it aswell. It shows real life because there are a lot of people in our world that judge people just by the way they look,dress or sound.

"Mother to Son"

      "Mother to Son" is a poem written by a famous poet that goes by the name of Lanston hughes. Langston Hughes made this poem with a mother as the narrorater. This poem really makes you think about hard  "Mother to Son" is a poem written by a famous poet that goes by the name of Lanston hughes. Langston Hughes made this poem with a mother as the narrorater. This poem really makes you think about hard times and how hard it was for people. This poem also makes  you think about the people that got through it and how they are setting a good example for our generation.             This poem is about a mother telling her son all of the struggle she has been through. She also explains to her son how she got through it and how hard it was for her to do that. The mother in the poem tells her son that he is strong too and that he can do the same thing she did. She tells her son "dont you fall now" ,she is telling her son not to give up and to keep going at it just like her.
       At first i thought this poem was about a former slave because the mother is saying "its had tracks and splinters and boarders torn up, and places with no carpet on the floor" since slaves slept in cabins with wooden floors i thought she was a slave. But then i finished reading the poem and it said (1922) and i know that is the time of the great depresion so i realised what the poem was really about.

WoOoOoooW what a difference!!

       In Charlottes web, there are different friendships. Two important friendships i want to point out are Wilbur and Fern's friendship and Charlotte and Wilbur's friendship. There are alot of differences and comparisons between these two friendships,but i want to point out some of them.        One difference was Fern and Wilbur's friendship started with sort of a life and deaths relationship. Fern wanted to keep Wilbur because otherwise he was going to get killed by her father because Wilbur was a "week pig". But Wilbur and Charlottes friendship started off as a lonliness type of start. When Wilbur met Fern she was loving and brave though mostly quiet . But when Wilbur met Charlotte she was out going and didn't hold back. So this automatically mad me predict two different friendships.
      Another difference was how strong the two relationships were . Fern was like a mother to Wilbur and Charlotte was like a best friend . Fern and Wilburs friendship started off with love and care. But Charlotte and Wilbur's friendship started off with greetings and information on eachother (like any other start of a friendship).
      One comparison between these two friendships is even though Fern was more like a mother than Charlotte, Charlotte mad alot of sacrifises for Wilbur aswell as fern.Charlotte helped wilbur through all his problems as a pig on a farm. Fern helped Wilbur with laerning how to be a pig on a farm and getting him to be a pig on a farm .So i think Charlotte and Fern mad Wilbur who he is.
      Another comparison between these friendships were Fern and Charlotte always helped wilbur believe in himself. Wilbur is the type that doesn't think he can do anything.But charlotte and fern help him beileve and see that he can do anything he wants or atleast most of the things he wants to do.
      In conclusion, i realised how much Fern and Charlotte meant to Wilbur .I also realised all of the love and help they gave Wilbur. This made me realise that Wilbur wasn't alone ...ever. And Wilbur was lucky to have these two wonderful friends Fern and Charlotte.
