One thing that really interested me was that our country did not have a secret agency all the time. This whole time I figured there was someone doing intelligence research for our country all the time to keep it safe but I was mistaken. It is interesting how safe we have been back then though, weather that be related to the technology being low back then or just the presence we presented to the world.
It was as well interesting to know that there is a book that holds almost everything you would need to know about a nation. It must take so much time for them to collect all the information. With just simply one book we can find out all the information about a nation that we need.

Romantic Poem Reflection: Old Ironsides
I enjoyed Old Ironsides because it military esque and I enjoy military. I especially enjoy it since my brother is a Marine. It as well has a great meaning to it and short and too the point. It might be one of my favorite poems now to be honest. I also love the under lying meaning to the story.

Connection to Nature
As I looked outside tonight I saw the mixture of the rain and snow. I got to thinking what it would be like to be part of that, being so delicate but meaning so much to either the time of year or to the havoc it could cause. If there's too much of it, it can cancel schools or shut down so much and create so much trouble. With it being so delicate, almost comforting, we would think it could only make things better and bring cheer to the Christmas time but it can create misfortune just like many other things. It's just interesting to see how something that looks to be so small and little can become an obstacle for us.
What were you thinking Edgar?
I could hear voices approaching, even music, like the sound of triumph but I could feel the heat increasing. It became so hot I could no longer hold on to anything for there was also no way of having a grip onto this wall. I started to slip down the pit and as I was falling I heard the doors opening and I felt despair knowing I could have been saved. Falling down this pit I try to grab a hold to the sides, trying to get a grip on maybe a root, anything! Even after a few seconds I lost all energy and felt my hand bleeding from tearing at the wall. As I looked down I started to see a glimpse of what I perceived to be light, coming from the side of the tunnel. I then heard a screech and felt my body woosh off to the side and as if something were carrying me. I look down and see this great bird, that of a great Eagle, carrying me up to the city. There he drops me off on a roof then bows to me and then takes flight.
That eagle is from Lord of The Rings. Christian and I love that movie.
