Bernard Valcourt is a white male who is the minister of aboriginal affairs and northern development. Honestly, why is a white man the head of something he doesn't understand. He does not understand how aboriginal people live, he doesn't understand their culture. |

.To this day is a poem by Shane Koyzcan. His poem is about bullying, but it's not the typical 'don't bully dude, it's not cool', he speaks about the effects and how deep and emotional it really is.
I really loved the way he talked about his own experiences. It's interesting that he connected him self to his words. He didn't only just talk about him self, he spoke about people just like him, who had experiences completely different then him but felt the same way. He talked about how his experiences have effected his life still to this day ( haha get it? On gosh I'm not funny) My absolute favorite thing about this poem is that he talks about how you will be okay in the end. You can click the picture to watch the video of the poem. Learning new things is so cool. Even if it's weird. I love learning new and exciting information. Most of the learning I do is when I'm on social media. I'll be scrolling through one of many social medias and I will come across an interesting fact like 'your jaw is strong enough to break all your teeth'. I think the internet is the best way to learn new, silly, creepy, and funny things.
When you were three years old you probably loved learning. The curiosity you had as a child didn't carry into your adolescent years, but you got to admit when you read weird facts on Twitter you're pretty interested, am I right? Learning at home is way more fun than school. Don't get me wrong, school is okay but being at home just sitting doing nothing is ten times more fun then sitting at an uncomfortable desk. At home I find everything way more interesting than I do at school. Not all of the things we talk about at school are terrible. Some of them are interesting. But learning math, pfft, no thanks. Having in depth conversations in class are my favorite thing at school. Learning at home is still better than school. I love books. They're so wonderful for so many reasons. There are so many types of books to read. I personally love adventure books, but I'll read anything. I want to be able to read every book ever.
The thing I love the most about books is the smell. I love getting a new book and you open the first page and your nose is just over come by the smell of the pages. That paper smell is so unique that i don't know how else to explain it other than book smell. I guess maybe the smell comes from the bleaching of the paper and the ink of the words. I like to think the smell comes from the little tree pixies. I'm just kidding, maybe... The smell of books puts those electronic books to shame. There is no way they can copy that beautiful smell. It's not the same as having a real book filing your hands. When ever I go to a book store I spend more time smelling random books than looking for a new book to read. I end up spending WAY to long in the store just smelling and choosing a book. I wonder if the store clerks ever get freaked out about the strange teenager smelling the books. Book smell is such a wonderful thing that just makes my life ten times better. I have no idea what I would do if books didn't smell the way they do. The smell just makes the book reading experience so great. |
