The World Is Flat

The world is flat because if it wasn’t it would roll. Like a basketball or golf ball. When they get it they roll but the world just stays in one place. If it was round it would roll everywhere and we would feel it because we are on the world. We would feel it when it gets closer to the sun and farther away from the sun. The weather would change every five minutes. But since it takes 365 days for the earth to rotate the earth is flat. And moves slowly.

Turning Ten

What is Collins trying to say with this poem? How does he capture childhood and the process of growing up? What makes this poem effective? how does this fit into your own life experience?
 
In this peom it seems like he's having a mid- life cris (spelled wrong). And he doesnt know what to do with his self because he is turing this first big age

Questions

1. A fresh idea is that a yankee is a good person.I would define it as someone being modest and giving someone the benefit of a doubt. Consideration.
2. THese allusions give a better understanding of what they are talking about.
3.Compare and contrast. No, i think the writer was jsut making sure you understood the difference in between the two.
