As seasons come and seasons go.... people change and people grow! If you really think about that statement and ask yourself what season are you in of your maturing stage; what would you say? Well i know i would have to say; i really don't know!, because i am tied in between the two spring and summer, so i guess i would have to say Spring meets Summer. Spring for me is my childish ways, laughing and joking around all the time. Life Changing moments can also bring you to the point where you must grow up and be a man, death to me is the moment. Mommy always says to me " You can always joke and play around but there comes i time when you must grow up and be a man", it took me some time to understand what she was really saying when she said that to me; now i think its time i say i do understand.
Childish acts to some people is not the best way to go in this world today; but for me it shows who i am and where i can go in life. Spring for me is not acting like a child its still having the mind set of a child at times. I can turn this mood off at times and at other times it is higher then normal. My youthful mind set can bring on happiness for some people and angry for others. I remember when i used to go out with friends and act like a fool, we used to mess wit people. When we were out we would yell at people and trow things at people, it was really really bad..that's why i feel i should grow up and become the man i no i can be.
Growing up for me is not easy at all. I want to do this and have to do that but have to think again before i make the wrong move. Seating down in my room wondering why my cable is cut off, trowing a fit and crying aloud. i have to think twice and say why? My mother trying to give me a better life; and me just seating there making a big deal; is getting us now where. So i finally say its time for Cornelius Talley to do something. Not a job not sell drugs just grow up and be a MAN.
Success to some people may not be a growing stage for some people but for me it is. In the world that we live in today i no have to do anything and everything to come out on top. This 10th grade year has been very hard but its not over yet. Some days are good and some aren't that good . My spring always shows up and summer seems to not be coming. Don't know what to do so i just keep on trying. This always allows me to do better.
Saying where i am in life is not the most fun thing to do it makes you look at yourself and tell yourself that its time to make changes in your growing process of life. Life is like a Giant tree some can come and cut you down but you also keep growing when its all done. For me life experiences can bring me down at times, but it's up to me to keep on going ad believing that i can do anything and everything.

Ishmael Reed Paper
Simply yet sweet is what a lot of people say about different things in life and in poems; in the poem “.05” Ishmael Reed shows this method by showing that short poems can contain a lot of information while still be short and fun at the same time. In “.05” he starts off the poem by giving a very short title. The poem it self can be confusing at times but if you read it a couple of times you will understand the poem is not really complex. Tone of a poem is key; and in this poem Reed talks to the readers as if we were one of his friends.
“.05” as simply as it seems; its much more then just a number; to the author he thinks of it as a story for many people. When authors write really short titles sometimes it helps them to bring readers in to see what would make the author title this, and so they could understand that titles don’t have to be long draw out names. By giving this title he wants to have the readers thinking before they even start to read the poem.".05" to many people can mean many things, but in this poem he is talking about nickel, which is 5cent.
Understanding all poems is not always an easy task, for readers. In this poem you have to no that he is referring to different things just to make a point. In this poem if you really don’t understand what he is trying to say you might have to read it again and then you will understand.
Tone to me is the most important thing of any story or poem. Reed in this poem talks to the reader as if they were friends. This poem is short but contains great quotes that will have you thinking. This poem is filled with life like lessons that his readers can relate too.
