The Migrant Experience

Hello i'm from Oklahoma. I am heading to California to try to get a job opportunity. I am one of the 20% of people that from Oklahoma also known as the Okies. On my trip to California I met some pretty great people and made some great friends. It's to bad some of those great friends that i met didn't make it into California. Once i got to California I had to find a job. The jobs I got weren't very well paid as most of the jobs I got were as farmers. Until I got a pretty well paid job but it was risky. The new risky job that I found was as a soldier in the war. Enough slacking of I need to get back to this war and earn this money goodbye.

The American Dream

The American Dream is the idea that all people can success through hardwork. People have changed the definition to the American Dream but now it is taking lots of criticism.The idea of the American Dream is older than the US as it dates back to the 1600s. People were starting to motivate themselevs to mostly own more land and for prosperous businesses. As well as motivating people it also plays a role in the fact that Americans are a classless society even though they are not. The realistic vision of the American Dream also assumes that people aren't discriminating others. Critics to the American Dream say that versions of the American can make happiness not seem so simple. Today anyone who completes their version of the American Dream is known as "living the dream". The main idea though of the American Dream is about potential and hope to change something.

Poetry in Song

Joy to the World
Joy  to the world is a Christmas carol that is played and sung around Christmas time. I think that this song is a very happy and is about the people getting ready for Christmas and how much they enjoy this time of year. The lyrics that say "the Lord is come" tells me that this song also celebrates the return of their lord. The song is telling the people that the lord coming back is a good sign and also it explains how the lord makes everyone happy


Bring me to Life
Bring me to Life by Evanscence is about how the writer wants their beloved to wake up. In the song the writer says "(Wake me up) Wake me up inside" this is the writer wanting their loved one to wake up. This song is sad love song about how he is going to really miss this person who is rather in a very deep sleep or is dying. This person is clearly really in pain over the possibilites that could happen if he lost this perosn.

I prefer the song Bring me to Life over Joy to the World. Even though the song is quite sad I think it is a very good song. Another reason I prefer this song is because the band playing is very good and really helps to the meaning of the song. I still enjoy Joy to the World it is one of my favourite Christmas carols.
