Brave the movie

As Queen Elinor is fighting the other bear that has been under a curse, Mor'du, who is actually a prince.  Merida shouts out
"Stop,  dont kill him!"
With this everyone is surprised even Prince Mor'du. Merida feels as though the reason for his anger is because he forgot who he is and if they can undo the spell for her mother and the prince then he would remember.

Merida places the tapestry over Queen Elinor and the prince and with this the spell is broken. The Queen, her triplets and the prince are returned back to themselves. Merida rushes to her mothers side and hugs her tightly and says
"I'm sorry mom,  I love you"
" I love you to Merida"

The prince standing in shock that he is a human again walks up to Merida and taps her on her shoulder.
"Why did you save me? your mother could have easily killed me"
"I saved you because everyone deserves second chances"
With a smerk left on both their faces the people of the castle, the prince and Merida and her family head for home.

As the castle is celebrating Merida and Prince Mor'du take a liking in each other very quickly; Queen Elinor and King Fergus take notice of this and smile,  for they know that a marriage is in the Future for Merida.

She Walks in Beauty
by George Gordon, Lord Byron
 
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
 
 
 
    She               beauty, like     night
  cloudless       and starry 
    all that’s best         and bright
     in                       her eyes;
                                     tender light
         heaven                day           . 

One       the more, one ray             ,
Had                                             grace
      waves    every raven tress,
     softly          o’er her face;
            thoughts serenely sweet express,
        pure,                          dwelling-place.

       on        cheek, and o’er       brow,
     soft,    calm,      eloquent,
     smiles       win, the               glow,
                             goodness spent,
                 peace with all           ,
    heart            love    innocent!

Dont Bite What You Can't Chew.

Wasps come , wasps go,
They fly high and fly low.
It sees a target, and then it knows,
In full throttle it goes.
We hear a screech we hear a gasp,
Then a yell " ohh my ass!".
Latching on with all its might,
The little wasp tries to fight.
It stiffens it trembles,
And shudders too late,
It falls to the ground to meet its fate.

"Dont Bite What You Can't Chew"  has a rhyme scheme of aabbccddeff, which gives the sing song effect of a poem,  making it fun and easy to read. The poem is about a wasp and once they sting you they die. But looking closer into the poem you may be able to see the deeper meaning that if you do wrong onto someone, that there will be consequences for your actions.

February 1st

            In Gwendolyn Brooks' poem "We Real Cool" the tone is arrogant and depressing. This is amplified throughout the poem as the speakers express how "cool" they are by different means and then dying.

            The first line in which the poem starts out in is stating that the speakers are cool, then the following lines suggest how this is so. The speakers say that they dropped out of school, didnt do very much with their lives but hang around. They got invovled in playing pool and got drunk. This poem is arrogant because they believed they were to cool for everything; to finish school and make something of their lives but instead they chose to take the easy road and become nothing. The poem takes a depressing turn closer to the end when it says "We Sing sin. We Thin gin. We Jazz June. We Die soon." my reasoning for this is because it shows that they are glorifying sin , getting drunk contineously, and realizing that they are going to die. After reading the poem you can connected the title to the poem very easily by saying they were arrogant for thinking all of the things they did made them cool.
