first essay

. The Ephemera: An Emblem of Human Life

Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

The author was stating is views on human life and basically stating different views on life. The writers approch was more of a calm and vivid description about life. He did not only talk about his life but other peoples life as well. The artors thesis statement was very good it gave yoy a very broad description of his essay."I turned my head from them to an old gray-headed one, who was single on another leaf, and talking to himself. Being amused with his soliloquy, I put it down in writing, in hopes it will likewise amuse her to whom I am so much indebted for the most pleasing of all amusements, her delicious company and heavenly harmony".B.FRANKLYN
I think the introduction was very good, he stated what he wanted to talk about and expressed that as well.In his conclusion he stated he had spent is whole life trying to reach his goal of, his pursuit in life.

Obama

I felt real good yesterday hearing Obama speech. this is the first time since MLK that we have had a strong black figure move a crowd like Obama did last night. I feel that this is only the beginning and he will do great things for this nations and for us as a people as well. After hearing him speak made me believe that now i really can do anything. People told us as kids that when we got older we could do anything we wanted but now its a reality, President Obama made it a reality. So, now all we can do is move forward because this we are now history we are the first generation to see a BLACK President.

OBAMA BRUH!!!!

Today i voted for the first black president elective, this is history in the making. This is the first time a black man has ever got this far in a presidential election. I feel it is time for change and what better place to start than with Obama. In the long run i feel by him becoming president will make us look more appealing on a international level. Because he is a man of ethnicity.
