Make me happy, make me smile,
And come live with me for a while,
I have no big place nor a fancy car,
But I got a heart as big as a star.
And I will give you something that mooney can’t buy,
And that’s this love bigger than the sky.
Please come with me ad stay,
And I promise this love will never runn away.
Come live with me, and please be mine,
Becouse this power of you and me combine
It is definetly brighter than sunshine.

Love has make you his fool,
And maybe ill sound a litlle cruel,
But to tell you the true,
We need more than love between me and you.
What if I need a fancy car,
What if I need a big place,
It does not matter tat your heart is bigger tha star,
Still will be in a great disgrace.
Will your heart money bring?
Or can I with love, pay a diamond ring?
Does are thigs I want a lot.
So will I live with you? I will not.

For this essay I will talk about a poem I read in class that it is called “Whoso List to Hunt” by Sir Thomas Wyatt. This poem is about the unreachable love he has. He loves Anne Boyle, who is expressed in the poem as a deer or more specific as a hind, the hind being Caesar’s property. The problem is that Anne Boleyn is one of the wives of Henry VIII, who is represented as Caesar.
In this written piece of art the speaker warn “potential hunters” about this woman telling them that if they try to hunt her they spend their time in vain. Because she is impossible to catch her he tells us that trying to catch he is like catching wind with a net.
This poem describes attitudes and experiences still common in life today because it represents how we still “hunt” women. It is a problem sometimes that we see women as trophies or hinds. I consider this a problem because if we are seeing them as a prey, as a trophy we are not respecting them as human beings and sometimes we do not value women inn of. Nevertheless, we are still hunting women down, and sometimes it is nearly impossible to catch them. Well and when you do catch them, sometimes they can run away easy.
Wanting something that you cannot have it is one of the biggest drugs a man can have. That drug it is the most addicting thing that you can have. It is something that you cannot change, most of the times you want what you do not have and a lot of times when you do get it wou do not want it any more you want something else. But still at the moment moment you want that, you live happy in your missery.
In this poem the author write about another man’s wife, so I wonder, what would have the man thoughgt the moment he read this and realise it it was about his wife. I consider, since he was King Henry, he was really powerful so at the moment he could have sent some man to killed this poem’s author.

Lost and Found
This is the story about an air crash,
That created in the water a big splash,
With 120 passengers in which just 4 survive,
And each have to worked together to stay alive.
Just the four manage to get out of the plane, that was sinking very fast,
Leaving all of the others behind, and after that, they just heard a blast.
The plane explode and they escaped but just to in the middle of no where stay
And now in the water they are alone, and all that they can do is to pray.
Just those four survive that day,
Only Jack, Robert, Amy, and Jay.
Jack was a gritty, rich and lonely guy,
He was selfish and proud and was the only one who did not cry.
