Give Peace A Chance ♥

"Imagine all the people living life in peace."

When I hear this line, I can't help but feel hopeful. John Lennon, the writer of "Imagine" dreamed of a world with nothing that could divide people, such as countries, religion, heaven or hell, possessions, and greed or hunger. He just wanted everyone to live together in harmony. "Imagine" was John Lennon's idea of a perfect world.

"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you will join us, and the world will live as one."

Even though his ideas of world peace are far-fetched, there are other people all over the world who share the same vision.

"Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky."

I believe Lennon isn't diminishing the idea of God and religion, but is diminishing the idea of separating people into categories of heaven and hell. He thought everyone should love each other, so there would be no reason to have a place for holy people and a place for the evil people. There would be no evil people.

"Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can. No need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man."

Possessions are just material items that make people greedy and jealous toward one another. If there were no such thing, people wouldn't have as much to fight about. People get consumed with themselves. Everyone is engrossed with what they own, what they want, and what they can't have. Obviously, there will always be possessions, and some people will always possess more than others. But it's a nice tranquil thought, right?
All you need is love.
RIP John Lennon.

Introductory Paragraph(:

In the poem "I, Too, Sing America" by Langston Hughes, the speaker's resentful determination reflect his hatred for people discriminating against African Americans.  He resents the people for metaphorically, 'sending him to eat in the kitchen.' The speaker is confident about the changes that will happen in America, and that the people who treated him badly will get what they deserve and feel ashamed.

Hello world. :)

I'm new to this whole blogging thing.. but it doesn't matter because no one will read this anyway. :)
Today was a B day. Which means I had band first.. so I was sweaty for the rest of the day. [screw capitalizing. i'm lazy.] i love band, but i really do get sick of having to dress out all the time and remembering to bring clothes. it's annoying.
then i had AP biology.. which is the hardest class ever, and i will probably fail. oh well.
then spanish 1 with ms. settle.. she is cra-cra. but she can be funny. i really don't think i will learn anything whatsoever in that class, but it's not like i'm going to mehico any time soon.
last i had english, which is a pretty good class. we haven't really done a lot of essays, which i'm the worst at. but we will later on.. :\
this was pretty much a run-through of my day. haha.. i know whoever you are, [creeper] you don't care..
in like a month, i'll probably read this again and think, "oh my gosh. what a freaking nerd, i sounded retarded!" i do that all the time.. just like i do with pictures and think how ugly i was. haaa. i don't care.
well i guess i'm gonna go practice for marching band! :D
jk, ethan is the only one that does that.
