The Deep Blue Struggle

Splash! The coolness of

the water hits me and runs up my spine.

I wait for others so I can go down.

It's time

I'm sinking.

The peaceful water rushes over my head as I go down

I feel cooled and relaxed, I'm weightless down here 

I'm carefree

I start the long leg strokes that propel me forward each time

each time becoming harder than the last

over time my breathing becomes faster 

I struggle to keep my legs moving and start to feel heavy

we are getting close to the boat

I start to slow, I can't keep swimming with the same speed as everyone else

They are all so much bigger and more experienced, they have been in this situation so many times 

I just can't keep up.

We're there

we start our way back up

we're up. Finally

I inflate the vest and let the current bring me into the boat, the instructor helps me into the boat, I drop the gear onto the seat

first dive down 

only one left

    In this song there are a few pieces of figurative language. There is assonance in the song.
The assonance is the repetition of the long O sound from a lot of the words. One paragraph in particular has it multiple times.He says, “Why am I soft in the middle now?

Why am I soft in the middle?
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don’t want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard”
Bonedigger, bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don’t find this stuff
Amusing anymore.

2/3 post two

    For my research I am a little bit concerned because it is hard for me to get my paper long enough. I am also having trouble thinking of a thesis. I am having a good time writing my paper. I don't want to say I have enjoyed the topic because it is so sad and depressing but I have enjoyed reading about.
    The topic is ver interesting in why it was made. There is no solid information as for why but there are estimates and theories. They are really weird when it comes to some of the theories but others make a lot of since.

                                                                       My Snow Days
    My snow day will start by sleeping till noon. I would get up and start my emergency work. School will be canceled at least wednesday too so i will do work for that day too. The next day I would wake up a little earlier and eat breakfast. Then i would probably go and watch Netflix until lunch. Then more until dinner. it's really cold so I'm feeling lazy.  
    Thursday I wake up and school is canceled again. It;s early in the morning so i go back to sleep. I wake up and practically do the same thing as tuesday. I would need to do more work since school was canceled for today too. I would do the work watch some t.v. and get ready for school the next day.

    My topic is on the concentration camp of Auschwitz. It is definitely one of the worst concentration camps. It started as a Medical camp. They would do experiments on the  prisoners of Auschwitz. Then it turned into a death camp used for mass killing. The camp was so populated that they turned to killing hundreds at a time.
