Trees sway
with the cool air
blowing all away
I watch in the distance
as the olive tree stands
with all of its resistance.
he won't stop hear
no he won't
no he won't
hes gone through
so much
just to quit so near.

Hawk
By:Daniel Waters
All eyes are fearful of the spotted hawk,
whose dappled wingspread opens to a phrase
that only victims gaping in the gaze
of Death Occurring can recite. To stalk;
to plunge; to harvest; the denial-squawk
of dying's struggle; these are but a day's
rebuke to hunger for the hawk, whose glazed
accord with Death admits no show of shock.
Death's users know it is not theirs to own,
nor can they fathom all it means to die—
for young to know a different Death from old.
But when the spotted hawk's last flight is flown,
he too becomes a novice, fear-struck by
the certain plummet once these feathers fold.
Every day people face the ultimate fear of life, And someday everyone will face this fear, death. People would do anything they can do to protect their lives or the lives of someone around them. While other people take the lives of others. Doesnt matter which one of those people you are because someday we will all feel the same fear.
The first scentence in this poem I thought was very thought provoking. This one line made me think about so many different things. One thing that I thought about the most was when he said that only people who are facing death in the eyes can recite the phrase. I also thought the second line was very intresting. But one thing that I thought he did well and intentional was when he put those verbs in the poem to describe the Hawk, which set a clear image in my mind of this poem. the first line in the second paragraph made me think for a while about death and as he says its users. I like how he kind of pesonified death into a something you can use. And this phrase also made me think about how he said that users know death is not for them to own. Is he trying to say that you can use death but some people may get carried away and tried to own it?
I think that in the first line Daniel Waters is trying to say that only people who have faced death and seen death in the eyes experience something different than other people. This kind of reminds me of Harry Potter and the Order of Pheonix, how only people who have seen death like Harry can see the invisible Thestrals. the next line is kind of saying that the Hawk must do what ever he must to stay alive, even take anothers life. This kind of reminded me of 'Please Dont Take my Air Jordans Away' in which the guy was willing to kill for his gear. And the first line on the second paragraph is trying to say that as much as you use death to you advantage death can not be owned you can not use it for ever and some day it will get the better of you.
I think that the the main idea of this story was that Death will always win and even if you are the best and use death it will still come after you and take you life.

Love over Hatred
In the book Vampirates Empire of Night by Justin Somper Conner and Grace are faced with challanges that prove their loyalties. This book takes place right after them finding out who their true father was. This was defenantly who they weren't expecting because the person they were chasing the whole time was their father. And they must choose to go with thier father on the bad side or go to the good side.
Conner and Grace go to live on thier fathers ship as spies but realize all that thier father has done for them to make them feel welcome here. I think that Conner got used to the idea of being his son and got blood thirsty like his father. This made me think that even though he is such a evil villan when comes to his children he just wants the best for them.
Even though thier father was bad I think that he really cared for them what ever side they choose, they will always be his children and he will never turn against them.

Power over Intelligance
In the book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows there are a lot of people in this book who choose power over intelligance because they are power hungry. There are many different types of characters in this book but the main types of one and people who all they want is power and want to be on the top of everyone else. for example like Voldemort and Gindelwald and there are other people in the story who set aside the crave for power and focus on another way to make them selves stronger by using intelligance like Dumbledore.
The people who want power try to reach to the top by using power to gain controll. Like Grindlewald wanted too use the Deathly hallows to make a superior race. he was trying to gain controll of the world by making them scared and using power to gain control. Were as Dumble dore uses intellagance to gain to controll he will think about the right stuff and the wronge and wont be corupted by power.
Dumbledore was a very powerful man and tried to be even powerful by collecting the Deathly hallows. But even in Dumbledore's younger years he wouldnt want to be as ruthless and Grindlewald, all Dumbledore really wanted was the reserection stone so he can say how sorry he was for all of the things he had done. Dumbledore also wanted the Elder wand but new he wasnt strong enough to be the master of death. I think that Dumbledore knew that with all of that power he too will become power hungy, which I think is more noble than being the master of death admiting you cant controll all of that power.
Dumbledore knew that Harry would some day be stong enough to be the master of death so Dumbledore felt that he had to lead Harry into the right paths. in the very beging of the Sorceres Stone, when Harry first meets Draco they get along really well, and this made me think that maybe if Harry had went to the Slytherin house, had everything that ever happened to Harry would have it all changed because of the people he would hang out with? would he feel like he had to be on the dark side like Snape and Draco? Or would he have over came it.
In this story there are just endless amounts of questions that can make really deep thoughts about, these were just some that I thought were important.

the orange haired boy
In the book The Saga of Larten Crepsley Birth of a Killer. Larten lived hi whole life with his cousin and best friend Vur Horsten. Larten and Vur lived in the same house together with Lartens other brother and sister. they both also actually work together in a silk factory where they both work under the rules of their ruthless manager. In the book their manager dyes all of his workers hair different colors to tell which part of the factory they work in. Vur and Lartens hair was dyed orange, the orange color hair that Larten Crepsley the famous vampire is known for.
Through out the whole vampire world Larten is known for his organge hair. All his life thats what he had to remember about Lartens past and in this book we find out about it. Larten's hair just doesn't reminde him of his old job and ruthless manager but of Vur and the birth of him being a killer. Lartens hair represents all of the hardships that he had to face and his life before he was a vampire. And the reason why the hair dye will never go away because it shows that Larten will never let go of Vur and will never forget about that night when Vur died and that same night when he killed the person responsible.
I think that Vur was a major effect on Larten and what Lartens actions wer. And Larten never once forgot about Vur for he did all of this for Vur he got his revenge for Vur and even became a great Vampire.

Living in Fear
In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows evryone goes into hiding after Voldemort launches his first attack at Harry at Bill's wedding. Hermione Ron and Harry are on the run and trying to hide from snatches and Death eaters. And everyone seems to have no hope left in overthrowing the amount of power Voldemort has know.
Voldemort seem to have all of the power now scince his only threat, Dumbledore is now dead and Harry seems to be running away from him. I think that maybe Voldemort is attentionaly doing this to Harry and trying make feel small and scared. And i can tell that Harry is trying very hard not to feel this way but after all that has happened with Ron leaving them because they didnt have a real plan really did make Harry feel all alone. Voldemort has all of the power in the world and not just wizards working with him, he has many different creature. He has Snatches looking for Muggle born and Mudbloods to kill, which in my opinion is why wizards were feared by Muggles in the first place.
I can tell that Harry feels all alone from the way he act and his actions. If I were him I would feel the same, everyone seems t be dependingon him to kill this mighty poweful being but he has no helpon his side.

Looking Deep
In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Harry was given some of Snapes memories, and started to see them before his battle with Voldemort. In Snapes memories it shows snapes life from when he was a child to an adult and even memories with Harry's mother Lily. Snapes memories reveal to Harry truths about Snapes loyalties and important events with Dumbledore.
During this point of the book you really find about Snape and how hard his life was and his secrets. Even though you believe that Snape is a death eater and is loyal to Voldemort, you find out that this was all /dumbledores plan. Snape was in love with Lily ever scince they were little kids. Even though Lily didnt really feel the same way about him and married James, Snape still cares about her. Snape must've felt really depressed when Lily wasnt treating him the same as James and kind of stopped being friends. Snape probably felt that there was no were else to turn to then to become a Death eater, so he did. Y ou can tell that Snape would've done anything to save Lily even turn in Harry, but deep down Lily would never be the same if he did. Even though Lily sacrificed her life to save Harry, Snape hated Harry. I dont blame him. Because of Harry the one person he loved was dead. i could understand why he would be mad. but like Dumbledore said, if Snape were to turn Harry in now all that Lily sacrificed would be lost and all of it would have been done for nothing.
Through all of Snape's actions through out the book, you can tell that even though Lily died for Harry and Snape kind of hate Harry in a way, Snape's love for Lily travels down to Harry because what she cared for and died for he cared for and died for.
