Richard Cory

The poem about Richard Cory I feel like was written to send a message saying that you never truly know a person. You can know all these facts about them, first impressions, and opinions on them because of how they act or dress but you can never really know THEM. The theme of the poem is focused on showing us that not everything you see is all there is, that there could be more to a happy, mad, sad, person. The tone of the poem for me started off with happy positive vibes and then the tone started getting dull and at last had me feeling the opposite of what i felt when i barely started reading and i feel like that was the thing that was going to help him really get the theme/message to stick out right in our faces and it did.

Essay

          School is on my mind. No, obviously not because of good reasons. I ask myself, is school really that  necessary, not just school in general but all the subjects that you NEED to take in order to graduate. I find it to be a waste of time that i have to take an amount of years for every subject, i really don't care about science or history enough to take 2 years of them. Why can't we just decide whether we need science or history etc for our later on careers.           Being forced to take classes i don't care about makes school so much less interesting like if it wasn't boring to begin with. An example of how some subjects are just not necessary to begin with is that i want to be a makeup artist or hairstylist something in that department because you don't need to be educated as much like if you wanted to be a lawyer, point is i really hate school and i like doing makeup so yeah. I don't think while i'm working with a client i'd be getting aske

WHAT MAKES SOMETHING FUNNY?

To me for example when I see memes there either really funny or not at all. I feel like I’ll laugh at something dark when I’m alone but never when I’m with people atleast with the people I don’t know, I also make very dark jokes at times and it doesn’t necessarily mean I’m a bad person that’s just the way my sense of humor works. But then it’s confusing because some people could make dark jokes and it’ll bother me so I guess the only dark jokes that are funny are mine. People also find videos of where people get hurt because they fall and that’s not funny at all for some reason at least to me like yea if a baby falls but I know it doesn’t hurt them, they just cry cause they got scared, then it’s funny but things that I know actually HURT are not funny. Things like that just make me feel second hand pain and don’t get me started with things that make me feel second hand embarrassment like I really wish I thought things that made other people embarrassed would be funny because I hate the
