California Land known for beauty, Where I desire to pursue my goals, Life guards on shore duty, Partaking their roles Deemed as the West Coast The sand feels like snow, The water is lovelier than most, It all looks like a show The Golden State, The City by the Bay, On a certain date California is where I will astray Palm trees shooting up past the sky and a breathtaking view Running towards the ocean, pulling off my shoes California (Sonnet) AB/AB/CD/CD/EF/EF/GG I wrote this poem because of my desire to visit California someday. I’ve always wanted to see the ocean and the beach. I feel like I would be so relaxed and at home there. Most of all, I really just want to get out of this boring state. Let’s be honest here, Kansas isn’t all that exciting. Everything about California is beautiful and breathtaking as far as pictures can tell. Though, cameras can’t exactly capture beauty at its finest. The Weight of a Memory My words are a mess Much like my thoughts as they swirl in gyration Reminiscing about our late night calls and our tongue twisting jokes It’s almost funny how easy it is for you to throw those things away As if they were nothing but rubbish It’s hard to believe how your volition was so demanding As to deceive me into becoming infatuated with your being Your chocolate eyes like the sugary cake from the bakery downtown That is now long gone And your hair as soft as silk Your voice as soft and serene as a still day free of wind Until that same voice became harsh and every word you uttered Felt like daggers in my back, And all I could do was listen to that voice resonate in my head, Until you finally left without a sound, At first it was hard for me to understand why you left, But when it came to me, my nights sudde... ... middle of paper ... ... loved to watch you run on your wheel, And I would gleam at you with the amazement I tended to feel, Until one day I noticed a bulge in your side, It looked unpleasant, and I know I cried Eventually I found out it was a tumor, In this I found no humor I petted you softly one more time, And I heard our grandfather clock chime, So I fell asleep crying, as most people would And when I woke up to find out he was gone, I only tried to think as positively as I could To Jelly (Elegy) (AA/BB/CC/DD/EE/FF/GG/HH) I wrote this poem to honor one of my rats that passed away named Jelly. He had dark fur and he was so cute. He was more of a family pet and not only my own pet, though. I’ve had a lot of pets pass away, but this one just seemed like the worst. Not because he was more important to me, but just because he had a tumor. He didn’t deserve it, and I’ll always miss him.
being able to fish and feel the ocean breeze every day was a blessing. Perhaps I might be a beach
This poem reflects on how when you lose someone you truly care about it affects you mentally. When we lose someone who we're really close to, we tend to hold a grudge and start questioning our love for the world. We lose ourselves when we
California, what makes this state so wonderful? Well if you were to ask any one east from it they might say it’s a party state filled with surfers and celebrities; where no is poor and everyone drinks wine. However, if you were to pick up Mark Arax’s book West of the West you would find the contrary. Arax goes beyond the clichés that California is known for and shows you, well, what is beyond just the west. Showing the true nature of California and its people, if you are one to think that California is a happy go’ lucky state then this would be the book to read to see the real California.

From reading the author’s book “Ecology of Fear,” Mike Davis’ main thesis for writing this book was to make readers become aware of the underlying problems and threats which have existed or currently exist in Southern California and how these problems shape the way we live today and in the imminent future as well. Although Davis did not really provide us with any remedies for the problems facing Southern California, this book made it very clear to the readers that problems do still exist, although at times they may sound subtle in nature. Of the numerous problems which do exist in Southern California, I will discuss only a handful of the problems that Davis provided us insight to. In the following paragraphs, the main problems of Southern California that I will discuss about are suburbanization and how it made Southern California lose its natural beauty and the effects of overdevelopment, the wild fires which occur and similarities and differences the rich and poor communities faced in terms of adversity, how suburbanization brought people closer to the wildlife, and how numerous books and movies portrayed Los Angeles as the center for calamities. The culmination of all these problems clearly shows that there are many glaring weaknesses of Southern California that need to be closely examined.
At the Miss California, USA seminar we were directed in how to apply makeup the correct way for stage lighting and also we had a number of evening gowns modeled so that we could know what is acceptable. We also had numerous swimsuits modeled for us by other delegates who I will be competing with. The person in charge of the USA pageant organization is Carolee Munger from San Luis Obispo, CA. She taught us how to present ourselves in the presence of our judges and also how to reach for our highest goals. The seminar was eight and a half hours long. It included learning, speaking skills, self confidence, and personal rights as an individual. We also had the privilege of listening to a well known psychologist speak to us about pageantry and how important it is know yourself and the goals you would like to achieve in life. Questions such as, "Where do you see yourself in five years?" have definitely given a new thought to what I would like to do for the rest of my life. I learned how to act self confident even in situations where you don't feel comfortable. I also learned that knowing how to make a grand entrance instead of a grand exit will give you a special presence.
In 1849, the California Gold Rush attracted the massive people immigrated to gold finding from all over the world. The gold-seekers travelled by the ship boarding in San Francisco port or by feet to leave their hometown and families from west because they believed that they could gain more money and had a better life than their original place.

The gold-seekers came over to California because they wanted to achieve their goals for a better life, as they experienced by their hard working and created lots of the potential development in this gold place.
In the summer of 2015, the summer before my freshman year, my grandmother and I took a trip to the other side of the country. I had never been anywhere west of Tennessee before, so going to California was going to be an exciting experience. My vacation there was like going to a whole other country. The morning of our flight I double checked my bags and made sure I had everything I would need for my trip. Flying into Fresno everything I saw was brown, except for the golf courses. The reason for everything being so brown was because during this time California was in a 5-year drought. Also being in the central valley it’s sandy and desert like. After landing and getting our luggage we stood outside waiting for my uncle to pick us up from the airport. When you think of California you think of perfect weather but stepping outside we were met with 115 degrees of the blazing hot sun. Not exactly what I consider “perfect” weather.
“Hotel California” by The Eagles has been the recipient of much speculation since its release in 1976. Although many other interpretations exist including some which claim this song to be referencing drugs, much evidence suggests that “Hotel California” is, at least partly, making a statement about the lifestyle of drug and alcohol users particularly in the large cities of California. As with many songs, duality of meaning exists in “Hotel California.”
Since 1848 to the present, California has had strong periods of representing the American Dream with its egalitarian advances and times of overwhelmingly democratic positions. Also, California was once a place for economic opportunity, attracting people from all over the nation. Since 1990, however, California has witnessed a reverse migration. Once a land of hope and opportunity, California has slowly been turning into a land of despair.
