Narcissus and Echo

The man is Narcissus and the woman is Echo, it is the scene when Narcissus is memorize my his reflection. It shows you have vain Narcissus is. He is so vain that he does not notice Echo is across the stream half naked. Which most guys would of notice along time ago. That is what I think the picture means.

Is Being Rich Really All That

“Richard Cory” by Edwin Arlington Robinson

"Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.

And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.

And he was rich—yes, richer than a king,
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.

So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head."

A lot of people read this poem and are either astonished or laughs at it, but it also makes you think. You never think about rich people being suicidal or even depressed. Most think just because someone has money that they are happy.  In the poem, everyone wishes they where him, yet they choose not to get to know him. The town’s people cursed the fact that they had no meat, yet they have friends and he had none. They wish they where him, but he wishes he was one of them. Most people would never think of the rich as being depress, I thought that once, but then I read this and I will never think the same. The poem has a good lesson. A song has even been written about it with the same name. Simon and Garfunkel wrote it in the late sixties. Looks can be very deceiving, the poorest people can be the happiest while the richest are so depress that they kill themselves, like Richard Cory. Don’t people ever remember that old saying, “Sometimes the poor are richer than the richest man alive.” The saying means that happiness is more important than money. We all wish we had more money, but is there such thing as too much money? Some may agree with me, while others may not.  But a man like Richard would probably agree with me, that being rich isn’t everything. So next time you walk by a person you think is better off than you, stop and talk to them.  They may not be as happy as you think.  Maybe all they really need to be happy is to be your friend.  Don’t be like the people in this poem.

My Bucket List 2012-2013

1.Destined by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast
I read the complete series and loved it. The ideal of a vampire school was a awsome one. I just hope that this is not the last book.
2. The Fledgling Handbook 101 by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast
I read most of the series so far (look at number 1), and I love it.  I figure the handbook will be a good read. I just love the author.
3.The Slayer Chroncles  Frist Kill by Heather Brewer
I read the Vladimir Tod series and loved it, so I figure why not try it. I always wondered the slayer's side of the story. Vladimir Tod is awesome.
3.D.N.Angel 2-5 by Yukiru Sugisaki
I have seen the anime and was interested in finding it in book form, because most anime are usually baste off a book series.
4.The Legend of Drizzt  Exile by R.A. Salvatore
I read this book and loved it, but I can't ever find books by this author. He was recommended to me by my older brother, Mark. I just can't find it.
5.Frankenstein by Mary W. Shelley
I picked this one because it was a classic and it sounded interesting. I have herd summaries of it before, but never actually read it, so I thought why not.
6.Dracula by Bram Stoker
You won't believe how may books and shows make reference to this book, and. I wanted to know why.  I started reading  it during the summer, but got distracted.
