Obamacare

Obamacare is a health care plan that does nothing to fix the health care system. Instead of putting the government in charge of more parts of the health care system it should be put in charge of less. Bureaucracies never run things well because they suck at doing anything efficiently or cheaply. If the government wants to try and fix the problem then they should fix the real problems. A big problem that the government could fix is the cost of malpractice insurance. Yes, there are times when doctors mess up and will be sued, but thats not the root of the high cost, its the fact that people sue over minor things or make up symptoms to get money. There was actually a bill that was approved in the House of Represenatives awhile ago that would take a step in the right direction to fix the problem, but it was voted against in the Senate. Health Care is a big problem and it needs fixed, but "Obamacare" is not the way to fix it.

There Was a Child Went Forth

I connect to the parts of the poem where the child becomes a part of nature. I can get the feeling that I am a part of nature when i'm out in the woods hunting with my cousins. I also get the feeling when I am out golfing because I'm outside with nothing but beautifully manicured nature around me. Nature is one big interconnected system where everything is connected to another in some way, so being connected to nature is not hard.

Emily Dickinson

XXV. DEATH AND LIFE.

Apparently with no surprise To any happy flower, The frost beheads it at its play In accidental power. The blond assassin passes on, The sun proceeds unmoved To measure off another day For an approving God.

I think this poem is trying to portray the death of flowers during the beginning of winter and the ressurection of the flower when spring comes again. Emily Dickinson is mostly focused here on the circle of life in nature which she can see from her window during the days that she is writing her poems, but she also brings up her faith again in this poem which could mean she is question what God's role in the world is or if he even exists.

Transcendental Writers

I prefer transcendental writers because the antitranscendental writers are negative about everything. I don't really enjoy reading in general, but if I'm going to read a book I don't want to read a book where everything is negative. I like how in transcendentalistic writing nature and people are good and especially how the truth can always be found because I don't like stories that don't tell you everything.
