The Road Not Taken

by Robert Frost

         
        The Road Not Taken is written by Robert Frost. Its a poem about different paths or roads that you take. In this poem he states these paths but there is a catch! They are both the same. Imagine being one traveler and that traveler is a metaphor for being your life. It does matter which road you take, both will put you in the same position as you were before. 

       Having Robert Frost's poem emblem as two same roads had a good thought. In stanza 4 it stated " Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet Knowing how many leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back." This states that he does have a choice in whether he wants the first or the second path. In stanza 3 it also said " Then I took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear" This states that the paths do have something different, but they always have a similarity. In stanza 2 it stated " Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both , And be one traveler, Long I stood, And looked down one as far as I could, To where it bent in the undergrowth."  This clearly states that these paths are the same. The closer he gets the closer he realizes that they are the same. You can't judge a book by its cover!

   All in all, the claim was set. My claim connects to me personally because even though they have the same map or a same destination it always depends on one person. You, the traveler, the one who takes either side. You can always have bumps in the road but it always connects to you! Only you.............

Sold

     Sold is written by Patricia McCormick. It's about a main character girl named Lakshmi. She is thirteen years old. She lives with her family in a village in Nepal. Lakshmi's gfamily is poor but she isn't sad or depressed about being poor. She lives her life to the fullest. As the say what comes up must come down. And that's what happened to Lakshmi! Being poor isn't as easy in Nepal. In her eyes she sees butterflies and flowers blooming with the nice cool weather. It's really hot in Nepal. The temperatures fluctuate. In Lakshmi's family she has a step father not a biological father. Something's you just don't want to hear!

     Sadly there was a hugde storm. It's called the Himalayan monsoons. It wiped away the family's crops away. Their crops brought the money in. Lakshmi dreams of working with the " rich " people and getting more money for her family. So her stepfather tells her to work for a rich person that he knows. She can get more money and they can afford more. As Lamshi's excitement fills the air, it might as well be her last time with her family. She comes to work and she's sold! For prostitution! All of it was a hudge lie! Everything was scary for Lakshmi. She scared to death. Luckily she made friends that were in the same position as Lakshmi. Do you think she will escape?

   I know nothing yet but the beginning and the end. If  she comes home it will be a beautiful happy   ending for Lakshmi's famliy and her.

Fallout (this is maybe the last)

       Sadly Hunter got back with Nikki. Hunter takes advantage of Nikki. He sleeps at her house and he thinks that whatever happens, Nikki will always take Hunter back. Right now, Hunter is sleeping in Nikki's house but in here living room. Nikki doesn't talk to Hunter like they used to be before but its getting better. Thanksgiving arrived in the Haskins and they all had dinner together. Hunters "grandma, mom", hunters "grandpa. dad" and Nikki. No Kristina, she is still in Reno with her drug-addict father!

      Autumn is fine. She just found out that Aunt Cora is getting married, which worries her. She will be left with her silent "grandpa" for the rest of his time being alive. Its sad but she still moves on. Something happened to her though, and you would hate to be her. She's (spoiler alert) pregnant!! There goes her life. She hasn't told anyone yet about it. Autumn isn't happy at all. What will happen? Summer had a nice Thanksgiving party with her foster home family. They go out usually to a burger joint and order thanksgiving meals. Its the routine they do every time. Everything is well, I guess.

   We will see the outcome. It might end up good or bad. Its all for Kristina and her dating issues. She is in contact with her children but not enough. There are hidden stories in each and every child's path of commitment. What is next?
