A Will Smith’s character is altruistic because he gives seven new lives to seven people. He gives his house, his heart, his eyes, his kidney, his one of lungs, parts of his liver and his bone marrow. Even though, he killed 7 people by his fault, he wanted to be forgiven by giving away his body parts and his house away. Purpose of being altruistic is little different with his purpose, but he realized his fault and he lived for other people.

Similarities and differences of Tim Thomas and the giving tree.

Although the character of Ben, in “Seven Pounds,” differs from the giving tree, he is also similar in many ways which shows he is altruistic. First similarity is that they both gave away their parts of body. The giving tree gave away her branches, trunk, apples and place. Tim Thomas gave away his house, his heart, his kidney, his one of lungs, his bone marrow and parts of his liver. Second similarity is that they sacrificed their lives. The tree sacrificed her shape and Tim sacrificed his life. Sacrificing is difficult to do, but they did because of reasons. It shows how they are altruistic. Third similarity is that they had their own purposes and reasons to give away their parts of body. Their purposes and reasons are the one of differences of them. The tree’s purpose to give away was because she loved him, so she wanted to give everything to him, but Tim’s purpose was because he wanted to give away his parts of body to get forgiven. Second difference is that number of people who they received from the tree and Tim. The tree gave only boy, but Tim gave 7 people. Third difference is that emotion after giving away. The tree was happy after giving him her place, but Tim was not happy as the tree, he was sad when he died. In conclusion, they have similarities and differences, but they both are altruistic because they lived for other people.

Becoming a Man

I am a blind

Like a lost kid

I can’t find

My place where to bid

I want my life

But I’m with consideration

Yeah I’m on a station

where thoughts are rife

Try try try to over them

But they beat me, I whine

I am a patient stem

In the storm for the sun shine

I am still alive

So I can bear until

My dreams be shining still

keep patience and strive

This picture means that the light comes my life and dreams.

The type of poem I have written is a lyric poem.

My dreams and my life are my inspiration and motivation.

My theme is how I live for my life and dream.

My rhyme scheme is abab cddc efef ghhg

Reason why I used rhyme is fun to use, so I used it.

I am a blind like a lost kid = Simile

Station where thoughts are rife = Imagery

 I am a patient stem = Metaphor

It is pretty straight poem, so It may be easy to understand.

The sanctuary

The ending of the sanctuary is the happy ending because shan’s grandmother died at shan’s grandmother’s house. She kept to say that she wants to die at her house. If she died at shan’s family’s house, her family would regret to not listen her wish and her grandmother would be sad. Also, there was many memories in her house, so she did not want to be far away from them. Normally, people do not like to be far away from their hometown. They miss their home when they are far away from their home. Especially, she had a strong homesick. She had left her house only three times before. It is why she missed her house more, even though her family cared about her and loved her. The ending of the story is made by her grandmother’s emotion. When she died, her emotion was happy, so the ending of the story is the happy ending.

Keesh’s characteristic.

           Reading Keesh’s story, it is clear to know why he rose to power and became the leader of his people. Keesh was a brave, clever, and thoughtful young guy. Firstly, his brave character is seen at the scene of a council meeting because he stood up to the people and exposed an unfair of dividing foods. Normally, young boys have difficulty standing up to and exposing unfair adults who take the power. This is why he is brave. Also, he said “I shall never speak in this council again- not until you come to me and say, ‘Keesh, we want you to speak.’” After all this happened, he went to hunt bears himself. He was only thirteen years old, but he hunted many of them. Secondly, he saved people from starving by dividing food fairly. Before he divided foods, hunters divided food unfairly. Also, he dealt with people who got foods from him that he needed a big house for his mother. Typically, young boys is not thoughtful than adults, so they are cared by parents or adults, but he cared his mom and people. It shows how thoughtful he is.  Lastly, his method of hunting and his word which he shall never talk with them shows how he is clever because he hunted many bears than adult hunters, so people did not believe his hunting. They said he has a magic. They wanted him to prove his hunting method, but before he said, he did not want to go to talk with them. He wanted them to come his house, if they wanted to talk with him. It shows how he used his power cleverly because it shows now they should obey his word. His method of hunting was using a sharp piece of whalebone into the hollow and the bear swallowed it. The bear was getting sick, and then he caught it. This method is unbelievable because any adult could not think about it. They always went as a team, but they were difficult to hunt it. That is why he rose to power and became the leader of his people. If he was not brave, clever, and thoughtful, he would not become the leader and people was still starved.
