When is the real meaning of the Statue of Liberty coming to truth?

The New Colossus

By Emma Lazarus, 1883

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!"

      I don't know why they all claim that the United States  is the place to make your dreams come true. At times you can feel proud to be an American but most of the time im not. I know that being an American gives me a lot of privileges, but how do my privileges help my family? My family is from Mexico and they don't have any privileges. Now at this time immagration wants to take out all the immagrants from the United States. I don't believe in what the Staue of Liberty represents because it's not true. We can see it's not true because with the horrible tragedy that hit Haiti, they should have proved it then when they had a chance. I know that the United States was one of the biggest help out there but they didn't prove what the Staute of Liberty represents.

   The poem above says that all those people that are homeless and starving and things like that to bring them here. I think if this were true they would have brought people from Hati here and get stabled here until their home country is standing once more. Lots of people think this is the dream place but it's reallly not that great. here in the United States we have a lot of immagrants scared and always hiding because they aren't aloud here. When is the real meaning of the Statue of Liberty going to be brought to truth?

Social Literacy

Animals shouldn't be treated bad because animals feel just like us. Some people don't know how bad they can scar an animal by doing something bad once. Animals do feel and know. People think that just because they are animals they can be treated like trash. Why do people treat a living thing like trash, but don't treat the real trash like it is?

I've seen some animals really suffer and it just kills me inside because they're so innocent. Animals are true best friends; they won't judge you just like humans do. Animals know how to listen when you need someone to be there for you. I just don't understand how some people can be so cold blooded and leave a being so wonderful go on its own. I understand that wild animals are on there own all the time, but that's the way it is for them. Animals that can be brought home as pets shouldn't be suffering, they should all have a home and be treated like angels they are.

Knowing that so many people are really trying to find a home for homeless animals makes me so happy because they get an extra chance in life and in finding a family. I thank all those animal lovers that care and try to make a diffrence to atleast one animal. Doesn't it make you feel good that you can come home to someone everyday; someone that waits for you to get home from where ever you went.

Snowy Day

Outside on a snowy day; wondering what those white flakes represent.

SUNRISE (haiku)

The sunrise; a symbol of a new day and the end of the old one .
