Although I am a new student at this high school, I can see
already how the current organization of the student
government excludes many of us. I have not yet been at
the school long enough to establish popularity, but I have
some good ideas and the right to share them with my new
school. Many other students also have the capacity for
leadership and deserve a chance to participate. If you vote
for me, you will see that even we new students have
something to offer.

Dulce et Decorum Est

by Wilfred Owen

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines2 that dropped behind.

Gas! Gas! Quick, boys! – An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime…
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,

And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,–
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori

What is Douglass's speech about and how does he feel about it?

PLEASE HELP!!!! We Wear the Mask
By Paul Lawrence Dunbar
We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile
And mouth with myriad subtleties,
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.
We smile, but oh great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile,
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!

Sympathy
By Paul Laurence Dunbar
I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opens,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals—
I know what the caged bird feels!

I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting—
I know why he beats his wing!

I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,—
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings—
I know why the caged bird sings!

Sand Dunes


Sand dunes are an important part of our environment, but they can also be very harmful. Sand dunes are constantly moving, with help from the wind. If the wind blows hard enough, it can kick up the sand. This leads to dust storms, which are dangerous for all who live near the dunes. Sand also damages buildings that can be centuries old. For example, sand threatens buildings in Egypt, including the pyramids. The sand can break down the stones that made the pyramids.

Though there are easy ways to keep sand dunes from moving, not all are good for the environment. For years, oil has been used to stop sand dunes from moving. People drench the sand dunes with oil, and the sand no longer is picked up by the wind. This is not good for the animals living in and around the dunes. It also wastes an important resource.

One way of safely keeping the dunes from moving as quickly is to plant trees and other plants along them. These plants keep the dunes from moving when placed at the bottom of the dunes. The dunes stay in place and keep the animals living in the dunes safe. Scientists are also working on the best design possible for sand fences. These would keep the dunes in place and let the animals continue to live there.
