I watch my heart engulfed in burning flame
The colors of my childhood turn to black
I search throughout but find no one to blame
So much of my life I will not get back

The fire moves fast and consumes it all
Table, seats, photo albums, Christmas tree
I sorrow that this misfortune did fall
But it cannot destroy my memory

With everything ash, I have what I need
Your arms around me, the hope in my heart
All my possessions had filled me with greed
I now look forward to another start

Come with me love on a lovely journey
Vagabonds we both shall be—lost and free.

Read the paragraph below. Write a discussion question that goes with the text. Everyone should have access to the Internet. The United Nations special report published in June 2011 said that access to the Internet is now a “human right.” People who can’t access the Internet are at a loss and are missing out on critical information. Not having access to the Internet is like not having access to schools.

im writing an argument paper and need someone to tell me if my introduction sounds good.

my topic is: should poetry be taught more in school?
(intro must include a hook, background info, and a thesis)

Think into the past during your English classes while you were learning poetry. Were the lessons for poetry in-depth? Did they make you think? Or were they just simple things like reading and writing a few poems and answering some questions on famous poems. Lessons about poetry always seem so short and brief. It never feels like kids are being taught in-depth poetry. It’s always just the basics like some of the types of poetry written or why poetry is important. Teachers don’t usually teach the emotional connection poetry has so when kids get up into high school English, they struggle when learning poetry. Some English teachers in high school expect emotional connections to the poems or in-depth poems but since kids aren't taught how to do that throughout Elementary and Middle school, they struggle and can’t do it. Poetry should be taught more in school because there are so many things that poetry does for us, such as helping express emotions and feelings, strengthens overall mental health, and it’s even therapeutic for the writer and reader.

Lines 28–36: What does the narrator tell us directly about the Major? What can we infer about the Major from his own actions and thoughts?

"Train Time" by D'Arcy McNickie:

Major Miles boomed, “You! What’s your name? Get back
here! Want to get killed! All of you, stand back!”
The Major strode about, soldierlike, and waved
commands. He was exasperated. He was tired. A man driving
cattle through timber had it easy, he was thinking. An animal
trainer had no idea of trouble. Let anyone try corralling
twenty to thirty Indian kids, dragging them out of hiding
places, getting them away from relatives and together in one
place, then holding them, without tying them, until train
time! Even now, at the last moment, when his worries were
almost over, they were trying to get themselves killed!
Major Miles was a man of conscience. Whatever he did,
he did earnestly. On this hot end-of-summer day he perspired
and frowned and wore his soldier bearing. He removed his
hat from his wet brow and thoughtfully passed his hand
from the hair line backward. Words tumbled about in his
mind. Somehow, he realized, he had to vivify[1] the moment.
These children were about to go out from the Reservation
and get a new start Life would change. They ought to realize
it, somehow-
