The Earth on Turtle’s Back

            The Earth on Turtle’s Back has determination in it. The muskrat although small showed determination and bravery by saying that she will bring earth to the surface or die trying. Unlike the other animals that tried but gave up quite easily the muskrat swam to the bottom of the ocean and right when she almost becomes unconscious she grabs earth and returns to the surface hardly alive. She didn’t give up although she almost died in order to get the earth for the woman who fell from the sky. All the other animals had underestimated themselves by giving up quickly yet one of the smallest ones of them was able to do it. This shows that any of us can do anything we are determined do whether or not people think we can achieve it as long as we dont give up.

”Richard Cory” by Arlington Robinson

                  The poem “Richard Cory” by Arlington Robinson is about a man who seems to have a perfect life a life many envy and want. Richard Cory was rich, a good person, well educated and a smart man yet he put a bullet through his head. This means that although people seem to have a good life and seem as though nothing is wrong you never know how they may be feeling in the inside they could be feeling lonely or be going through so may bad things. You can’t say someone’s life is perfect or flawless if you don’t know how that person may be feeling in the inside. Never assume someone is fine and is happy just by seeing the outside know how they truly feel and help them through anything they may be going through no one should go through a rough time alone.

The Right Your Opinion

 The belief that you have a right to your own opinion isn’t true. Your opinion can cause you to get into trouble and your opinion may not be correct. Saying you have the right to your own opinion when in discussion with someone else isn’t a fact just because you believe it’s that way doesn’t mean that it makes it correct. Your opinion needs to have facts and evidence to make it correct. Many people believe that having the right to your own opinion means your correct in everything you think is right it’s not automatically correct your opinion can be wrong many times unless you have good facts to make your statement true.
