A hugh tree is being cut down in our yard—Thirty or forty years old. Wanted to save a part of it for a table and base.

I’m nobody! Who are you?

I’m nobody! Who are you?A
Are you nobody, too? A
Then there’s a pair of us – don’t tell!B
They’d banish us, you know!C

How dreary to be somebody!D
How public like a frogE
To tell one’s name the livelong dayF
To an admiring bog! E

-Emily Dickinson

•I’m nobody! Who are you? : I am me. Who are you?
•Are you nobody, too? : Are you like me too?
•Then there’s a pair of us – don’t tell! : Then we’re alike – keep it a secret!
•They’d banish us, you know! : Were excluded, they would make us even more excluded!
•How dreary to be somebody! : How scary it would be to be someone!
•How public like a frog : to have publicity like a frog
•To tell one’s name the Livelong day: to have someone know your name everywhere
•To an admiring bog! : To someone who is poor!

This poem is pretty straight forward in what it means. I think that she is writing a Who Am I? poem. I believe she was saying that because of what she does she would be famous and she did not want that, that she doesn’t want anyone to look at her differently because of her poetry, if someone was like her in one way or another then not to say anything, when you see a frog they usually are in a museum or zoo or in a river so that would be public, and everywhere you went someone would know your name and point out who you were.

Emily Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830 to Edward and Emily (Norcross) Dickinson, in Amherst, Massachusetts. She was the second child of three. She was very social. One friendship was important to her as she became a poet as a teenager. Benjamin Franklin Newton worked for her father at the law office. He helped her gain interest in literary and was the first to point out her talent and encouraged her to continue writing. He married and moved away to Amherst and stayed in touch with Emily through letters. He died in 1853 at age thirty-two.
Emily had a rough life. Her nephew, Gilbert died in 1883; it was a huge loss for Emily. He was only eight years old. Emily’s social life was crashing. As she got older she became aware of the gap more and more between her family and herself. Intelligence and religions were differences between are what separated them.
She liked privacy and kept a lot private. When she wanted publicity was in 1862 when she wrote to the famous Thomas Wentworth Higginson a response to his “Advice to a your Contributor” of the April 1862 Atlantic Monthly.
During her life she only published seven poems. Her close friend Susan became her sister-in-law and the only person Emily would read her poems to. Emily never cared about money or fame when she wrote. When Emily died she told her sister to burn all of her poems so her sister published all of her poems and then burned the originals. Emily died of kidney disease at age fifty-five on may 15, 1886. She and Walt Whitman are two of the greatest American poets of the nineteenth century. They were different in many ways. Emily’s writing style was lyrical poems.

Some of her poems are:

• An altered look about the hills
• An awful tempest mashed the air
• As if some little arctic flower
• Come slowly, Eden!
• The daisy follows soft the sun
• The gentian weaves her fringes
• Going to heaven!
• Heart, we will forget him!
• I bring an unaccustomed wine
• If I should die
• I had a guinea golden
• I have not told my garden yet
• I never lost as much but twice
• Morns like these we parted
• The murmur of a bee
• New feet within my garden go
• The rose did caper on her cheek
• Success is counted sweetest
• These are the days when birds come back
• What inn is this
• Who robbed the wood

Edward
Edward is so dreamy
He makes my thoughts go weary
So handsome and brave
He can save
The day
Has money to pay
Bella is his wife
And Renesmee brightens his life

I have them booked to get spayed tomorrow because the vet wouldnt spay them before 6 months .
I really dont want my kitten to be pregnant.
she has gain alot of weight and her nipples were pink and ahave now turned white .
she was never affectionate towards me just my sister , any time i went near her she growled at me,(i dont know why ) and all of a sudden the past 2 weeks she always wants to be around me and purrs non stopp.

she never normaly cries when she is put in the garden . but she jus sits at the door looking to get in again and crys.
she always seems to be laying down or sleeping . she licks her nipples and bum constantly .
she woddles too.
she eats far more than any off my cats . and she hardly uses the litter tray but goes outside it.
Her blood pressure is very high

my other other kitten seems so much playful
I have 2 other cats a male and female 1 year old . both have been done at 6 months .
they never acted like this

Could it be worms or a tumor,
or Something

Im taking her to the vet tomorrow and if it is kittens she’s getting them removed . because she is wayy too young .

Please no stupid answers
this has never happened me bfore with any off my cats .
Male cats were around my garden
i cant keep her locked away because she used to begg to get let out .

need answerd asap. 🙂

as much as i would love kittens , it just inn’t fair on shadow.
The vet told us it would be extremely rare for her to get pregnant and that she wuld be ok outside.

I’m attending Humboldt State University in the Fall and will be filling out housing apps soon.
I would like some suggestions on which freshman resident halls I should apply into.

Response and/or suggestions from current student or alumni will be greatly appreciated!

im looking for a really good vocal coach that isnt super expensive and is close to home…san francisco is too far to drive but san bruno, menlo park, san mateo, etc. is fine

i need help making these arguments into standard premise/conclusion formats.

Pro-death penalty argument:
"i’ve always believed in ‘an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ All people need to be accountable for their actions, including juveniles. The death penalty is a fair punishment for those who murder – even if they were under 18 when they killed. I don’t believe that killers can be rehabilitated, even if they are young.

since august, my classmates and i have corresponded with death row inn mates in texas as part of a class we’re taking on the criminal justice system. I have been repeatedly shocked and disappointed to see how the inmates lie about their cases. Their inability to be truthful even when they are already in jail has reinforced my opinion.

i don’t feel any sympathy for someone who kills; i don’t care how old they are. it would be one thing if they were 4 or 5 years old and didn’t know right from wrong, but a 16 year old should know better. if a killer has the intellectual ability to understand that what he or she did was wrong, then that killer must pay with his or her life.

in the biblical story of the garden of eden, god tells adam and eve not to eat the fruit, but they eat it anyway. so adam and eve are banned from the garden of eden – one strike and they are out. this principle should hold true for murderers of any age – one strike and you are out.

furthermore, why should taxpayers pay to feed, house, and clothe a murderer for life? killers with life sentences live better than our homeless people or those who work and are poor and deprived.

if you take a life, it cannot be given back. the ultimate punishment for murder should be death, even for teenagers."

anti-death penalty argument:
"minors cannot vote or run for office, and in most cases they cannot live without guardians. minors cannot even hold bank accounts or sign legal contracts without the consent of their adult custodians.

these restrictions recognize the fact that juveniles cannot – and should not – be held legally irresponsible for their actions. why then do so many states choose to execute criminals whose crime were committed before the age of 18? is death not the ultimate in responsibility? if 16 year olds cannot open bank accounts in their own names, why can they pay for crimes with their lives? this is a double standard.

it is with good reason that there are restrictions placed on teenagers. scientific studies show that teenagers lack the ability to sense the great weight that their decisions can have. 16 year olds can certainly differentiate between right and wrong, but they often lack a fully developed awareness of the consequences of their actions. this is the very quality that distinguishes a responsible adult from a child. the american bar association, a professional association for lawyers, agrees. it believes that children are inherently different from adults in their level of responsibility for their actions.

the international community also finds the juvenile death penalty immoral. executing a minor violates respected international treaties. these treaties recognize that society cannot force someone with an underdeveloped sense of the consequences of their actions to pay with their lives for those actions. a judicial system that takes the life of a child does not truly uphold justice."

like i said, i need to turn these two arguments into a standard premise–>conclusion formation, with either well formed or cogent premises. adding implicit premises would be nice, and evaluations need to be specific and substantial.

i really appreciate any help.

thx

particularly when getting lost
