The poem staring night is a very nice poem. It talks about how you can go through life with being something great, having a gifted talent and because of the society you live in, you never get the credit you deserve. It also talked about how people have gifts and they are capable of doing something great. The poem said people give gifts and then when they leave they take away. In my opinion that was very strong because tupac is my idol and when he was alive, his music was a gift to me. Now that he is dead the gift has some what been taken away. This is similar to tupacs life because he was very talented. But in the society he lived in he didn’t get the credit he deserved. He was limited to his success. Tupac was a star. The poem is titled Staring Night. In my opinion I think it is saying that stars are made at night. Tupac was very affected by is society. He was in a bad neighborhood his whole life. He was shot and even went to jail a few times. His mother was in and out of jail. Everything just was set up right in his life. So his full potential never showed.

If I Fail (27)
november 9 2009
In Tupac Shakur’s poem “If I Fail” he writes about how people should make plans or set goals and not become discouraged if “[They] stumble or crumble,” because we can do anything that we set our minds to (Rose 27). His poem is an encouraging and motivating. I feel that it is important to know what things you have planned in the future like, my goals , what my plans are, and what steps I’m going to take to achieve my goals. I can relate to this poem because at I have many dreams and goals and it is very hard to stay focused on those goals and dreams. It is very easy to get distracted. This poem helps me keep my head in the right place so I can reach those dreams.This poem also talked about Passion and determination. This will be the crucial to reaching one’s goals. Upac has been through a lot. Tupac has fallen many times, but has risen even higher each time. In my life I have been through a lot of hardships and battles that I have had to overcome. It was very hard each his but I was determined to go pass it. My passion for the goal I was trying to reach made me stronger.Tupac never had any help. Most of the time he was on his own. When he asked anyone for help they looked down on him and made him feel like less of a person. His mother was poor and in and out of prison. Tupac decided to go into the rough and hard lifestyle of being in the streets. In the streets he became a man. After all those problems he still fought to dream.

Chapter 4 sceneThe song I would use for this scene is changes.Narrator - Tupac had an interview to talk about the meaning of the word thug, and what thug life is. Tupac discusses why he uses the word thug. Snoop Dogg the person interviewing Tupac asks Tupac many questions to learn more about Tupac.Snoop Dogg – What is thug life?Tupac – Thug life is the life I’m living. When I say thug life I’m not referring to Robbing people or hurting people cause that’s not what I am doing.Snoop Dogg – Then what do you mean when you say thug life?Tupac - Thug life is not being scared to say how you feel, its standing up for your responsibilities and saying this is what I do even though people are going to hate me and say it’s politically uncorrected.Tupac – I feel like thug life is a stage that we all go through. The rich white kids go to military school and join the armed forces to become a man. For the black and Hispanics, we have to go to the streets and thug. Doing this was part of my progression of being a man.Snoop Dogg – I agree and I can see where you are coming from. A lot of people think you look buffoonish throwing around all that money and having all those girls around you. How do you feel about that?Tupac – I want them to think I’m Buffoonish. I’m being real. That’s what my life his like and I can only be real with myself.Snoop Dogg – So how do you feel about the violence in Hip Hop?Tupac – I think that hip hop as become intoxicated with danger but that’s real life. All parts of life have danger in it. But it’s not just Hip Hop that is causing violence. I feel like American society was built on violence. Starting from that enslavement of African Americans. America has always been involved in violent acts. Hip hop and gangs didn’t start violence that just what we all were brought up in. That’s the way it is. In my opinion America is the biggest gang there is. Snoop dogg – How do you feel about the movie America Most Wanted were you played a gangster?Tupac – I feel that the role was very easy to play because the role basically focused on what happens to me in real life. I didn’t really have to act anything. I was already used to being a gangster, and getting bullets shot at me.Snoop Dogg – that’s a really good point you have there tupac. It has been nice talking to you and I will see you later.Cry Sometimes when I'm aloneI Cry, Because I am on my own.The tears I cry are bitter and warm.They flow with life but take no formI Cry because my heart is torn.I find it difficult to carry on. If I had an ear to confide in, I would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on.The world moves fast and it would rather pass by.Then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. And sometimes...I Cry and no one cares about why.

Possessives templatesPidd also errs in punctuating possessive pronouns: “The outraged Fertilizer Workers’ Union decided the only sane response was to use it’s retirement fund to hire a gypsy to put a curse on Lud” (1). Pidd misplaces the apostrophe between the letters “t” and “s.” The retirement fund belongs to the fertilizer workers. Possessive pronouns indicate ownership and do not need an apostrophe. Pidd can fix the error by eliminating the apostrophe. The correct phrase will read, “The outraged Fertilizer Workers’ Union decided the only sane response was to use its retirement fund to hire a gypsy to put a curse on Lud.” Pidd falter when he punctuates singular possessive nouns not ending in – s. Pidd writes, “… The monkeys’ tragic death” (2). Pidd misplaces the apostrophe after the letter “s.” The singular noun “monkey” does not end in-s. Singular nouns not ending in – s add an apostrophe s. Pidd can repair the error by placing the apostrophe between the letter “y” and “s.” The correct phrase will read, “… The monkey’s tragic death.”Pid slips up when punctuating plural possessive nouns not ending in – s’. The error was “The couples’s infant child” ( 2 ). Pid misplaces the apostrofhe between then “s” and “s”. The child belongs to the couple. The plural noun couple does not end in – s. The rule for plural nouns not ending in – s is add an – s. to correct the error Pid should drop the “s” and add an – s. the corrected possessive noun phrase read, “The couple-s infant child”.

Spoken wordI believe that poetry saves lives because poetry is a spoken word that allows people to express how they feel and get their emotions out. With poetry people can say what they want and not hold their emotions in. I believe that poetry also can also motivate and lift up people. For example if you listen to poetry, you will get it will relax you and take your mind off the problems that you are having. Poetry helps you get away from the things you stress about. Another example is when I went to a spoken word a few years ago it helped me feel good about myself. It was a wonderful experience. Thery video was very good. The video showed how poetry helps young kids.
