final draft of air jordan's poem

This poem Please Don't take my Air Jordan's is very mind provoking because, why would someone do something like this just so the could look good and cool.  I think this poem is all about how this kid is in poverty a little because, in the beginning he talks about how he ain't got no money no job and etc.  I can see that back then or maybe if this is recent that they probably would do something like this, because Michael Jordan was a huge and famous player.  It just seems a little bit off and wrong because if this happened in today's world everyone would be shocked. I also notice at the end of the poem he doesn't really stop there he wants more stuff like a new jacket and he feels confident.

The poem is a little like society today but people wouldn't kill other people for shoes; I mean they used to but now a days they steal shoes.  It seems that when this was written or the time period it must have been like this.  My observation about this poem is that it is very serious and a little weird to me, because I mean no just goes around shooting people for shoes, I mean only if you’re crazy.  It still just makes me want to peruse Please Don't Take My Air Jordan's.

  The character in this poem seems to always want to look fresh for his crew, not look janky, and look fresh all the time.  I just don't under stand why he had to kill the kid for some sneakers I mean is he that poor.  Jordan's are like a very popular thing in society and they go with your cool or your not cool style.  I infer that in this time period life was like this because of all the new and popular things coming out.  It seems that in this poem that killing is what “you got's to do" to get something. 



This poem in some ways can connect to me but not alot; because the world I live in today is if you’re poor you’re not rich.  I think all people in this world want to be is successful with money and alot of stuff.  Don't get me wrong I have stuff in my life but people like this guy seem to just want things to just have them.  I feel that in my neighborhood this would actually happen but no one would get killed.  I just think this kid was poor and when you’re poor you don't want to show that you’re poor.  So I believe that people are like this in the world and things like this would happen, because just recently I watched Lottery Ticket and the bad guy had stolen the new shoes that the kid had just bought.  People in the world at that time and today I think would do this horrible thing.


You can really see the themes in this poem death,life,you and etc but I believe that this poem is just a reminder to society, that this stuff happens.  This poem should be shared with many people to see the real and true meaning of society and what really happens in it.

Extra credit being a detective on shakespeare

The debate goes on about who wrote Shakespeare.  The argument is who really wrote Shakespeare, the two sides are the people that believe William Shakespeare wrote his plays and Edward de Vere the 17th of Oxford.  
Many people say that William Shakespeare was the one who wrote many plays and poems.  Some think Edward de Vere actually did all of that. 

let's start with Shakespeare
William Shakespeare: William was born April 23, 1564 in Stratford, at the age of 16 he started to write many sonnets and plays.  By the age of 18 Will met a women named Anne Hathaway and got her pregnant they then had 3 kids Susanna, Hamnet, and Judith.  Hamnet died at the age of 11.   For almost 7 tears William Shakespeare had been gone these years were called the lost years.  After those years he came back and established him self as a play write and an actor.  On his birthday Will was said to have died April 23, 1616


Oxford:  Edward was born April 12, 1550 he was the only son of John de Vere he to also like Shakespeare wrote many plays and lyrical poems.  At the age of 15 he married Anne Cecil.  Edward de Vere was a very successful man  even  the queen ( Elizabeth) was grateful of him she gave him annuity of 1000 euros.  Also after many long years people had believed that the real author of Shakespeare was Edward de Vere. Edward de Vere died 7 years earlier than William Shakespeare died June 24, 1604.



For me I can't really decide who actually wrote Shakespeare and who did all of this work.  But if I were were to choose i would say Edward de Vere wrote all of Shakespeare because he was born before him and he didn't have any missing years were he was just gone.   Then again no one knows what Shakespeare did for seven years so it is very hard to choose one of them.

I also notice at the end of the poem he doesn't really stop there he wants more stuff like a new jacket and he feels confident.

  The character in this poem seems to always wanna look fresh for his crew, not look janky, and look fresh all the time.  I just don't under stand why he had to kill the kid for some sneakers  I mean is he that poor.  Jordan's are like a very popular thing in society and they go with the your cool or your not cool style.  I infer that in this time period life was like this becuase of all the new and popular things coming out.  It seems that in this poem that killing is what " you got's to do" to get something. 



 
This poem in some ways can connect to me but not alot, becuase the world I live in today is if your poor ypur not rich.  I think all people iin this world want to be is succseful with money and alot of stuff.  Don't get me wrong i have stuff in my life but people like this guy seem to just want things to just have them.  I feel that in my neighboorhood this would actually happen but no one would get killed.  I just think this kid was poor and when your poor you don't wannna show that your poor.  So I believe that people are like this in the world and things like this would happen, becuase just recently i watched Lottery Ticket and the bad guy had stolen the new shoes that the kid had just bought.  Poeple in the world at that time and today I think would do this horrible thing.

I also see that he says, that he wants a new jacket-(line)
"with my brand new air jordans man was i cool
i killed to get them but hey . . . i don't care
cuz now. . . i needs a new jacket to wear."
It just seems that this kid will never stop stealing and killing.
