The Infinity Chamber by Stanely Landsom

You walk into an amazing place
Where stars shine brightly at your face
You look around and you only see
A world of possibilities

The infinity chamber is an illusion
Of mirrors and many lights
What makes it special about your imagination
Is that is shines through your eyes

One minutes, two minutes
The clock is ticking
What can you capture?
When you just saw the beginning

You walk into an amazing place
Where stars shine brightly at your face
You look around you only see
A world of possibilities

"untitled" ( chalk paiting)

Thinking beyond what the eyes meets. That is the true mystery that we are all stumped over. Pictures, paintings, even colleagues at school are more than what people assume. "Untitled" is a painting where thinking beyond what you see can be quiet creative.

When something becomes unclear, most of the time we give up on what it is trying to say. That is how we as human except ourselves. "untitled" says a lot about our creativity and our imagination. These are the two things that can help us in our walk through life. We can always come back to untitled to express and think about

Thinking is a simple word that most everyone knows. When people think you never know what extraordinary actions can happen. For example, "untitled" has made many people think about what this picture means. Though, this does not mean that we can draw a circle and be famous. We have to work hard to express our inner selves. Even when we think we have nothing to give.

Speak Post

In every school there is a bully, a person being bullied and the bystander. In schools over 32% of kids get bullied each year. These kids could get bullied once or a number of times; but it happens. " Speak" written by Laurie Halse Anderson is not only about bullying but what can happen when students are bullied. We learn that not only does bullying affect a students life but things outside of school could hurt or ruin a students reputation.

Guilty, ashamed, depressed, shy. These are the words that are brought up when you meet a kid who has been bullied. Though this may only happen once or twice in some kid's life the image sticks in their head forever. But, what most don' t think about is what would happen if you were being bullied for something you didn't do? In " Speak" Melinda is a average high school student who is being bullied for a party she turned into the police. What her fellow classmates don't know is that what happened at the party was something Melinda couldn't help.

Imagine having everyone at school hate you. Imagine that you did something really wrong and you wish you could take everything back. Melinda in the novel " Speak" called the cops at a party because of her incident that happened at the party. Though Melinda may have called the cops; she called them for a good reason and in the end they find out why.

We learn that not only does bullying affect a students life and reputation. We know that some kids have it bad with being bullied. Should we all just be perfect angels all the time and try not to do anything bad. Well; we know that we can all not be that way. So though Melinda may have had it bad we know that we can always count on teachers and friends to help us through it.
