The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door

Emma Lazarus
 
 
The statue of liberys poem means to me that any one and every one deserves the chance to have a good life and the they live in a country that is fare with people. And that there hard work is payed for what they deserve and not barly enough to get by. Its Stands for a chance.
 
Its universal meaning is freedom
 
This poem affects me because in other countries families struggle from poverty and hunger and low income. Thats why they come to the United States for a better chance of living.

Saving the sumatran tiger

My english teacher had us go this web site called theliteracysite.com and we were to pick a serious problem thats happening in this world and sign a petition to help with that problem. and I picked the poaching of sumatran tigers Indonesia. I picked this one because i think its wrong to poach animals. Im a hunter and i kill animals but i do it legaly and for good reasons. The poachers in Indonesia kill to sell the animal remains for profit and thats wrong and waste of an animal. so i hope that the goverment over there does somthing to put a end to the killing of these tigers.

Its dark, cold , no one is around to hear you. The voices in your head tell you to turn back but you know you must continue. All the pain and suffering you have been threw will be taken away all the fear and hate you have had will be no more. you've been threw it all fighting to stay alive. But for what? What would happen if you were free? Would your family take you back even after all the wrong you caused? They must forgive and take you back. All those dark cold nights they were the only thing keeping you alive just thinking of them gave you the strength to move on. But this is the moment of truth after being stuck in this place for so long now a way out.You look stright ahead never thinking of looking back. You walk stright to freedom seeing the light pulling youself up and out of misery leaving the darkness behind.
