Kaylee Kio ​ ​ Benjamin Frankilns quote "the good men may do separately is small compared with what they may do collectively" is relevant in our modern day. Today in our society everyone hasto work together to get what they want to be done. This quote symbolizes team work and working together.The quote is the same thing as the continental congress. if congress would work together to solve the economis issues of today, instesd of gathering around party lines, they may accomplish more. A good example of team work would be buisnesses. All busnesses have to have a team. They need someone in charge, and people to work on a dialy basis. Also some buisnesses show teamwork by combining two or more buisnesses to make one big successful buisness. Also another good example of how the quote still is relevant in our modern day is football. In football its not just one person maki​ng all the plays, downs, tackles, sacks, and touchdowns happen. Its all eleven players on the field and their coaches. They rely on eachother to make everything happen, because if it were a one man team they would get nothing accomplished. They have to trust that one another knows what is going to happen the next time they have the ball, and that everyone knows their positions on the field and can successfully get their job done the right way. Teamwork and trust are two major factors in everything we do on a daily basis. We need to trust the people we work with and people in our lives. For example, as students in school we need to trust that the teachers are going to teach us the things we need to know to make a living and life and have a job. Also we need to trust that they are going to help us out with assignments and problems that we have. This is where a big part of team work comes into play. Teamwork comes into play, because you and your teachers have to work together to have good grades and be successful with what you do. All teachers work together to help all students be as successful as they possibly can be. Parenting is also a good example. Children have to trust their parents to take care of them on a daily basis and do the things for their kids that they are incapable of doing. Parents work together to provide for their children and give them the support that they need. They provide housing, food, clothes, and other necessary items that a child needs to survive. This represents trust because the children then realize that their parents are there for them and they gain the trust that they need. Soccer is a very good example of how this quote is still relvent today. In soccer just like in football everyone has to work together to play a game and practice. It cant just be one person carrying the team. Players and other team mates bond and gain trust with eachother. They have to trust them to have the ball under controll and be there for every play. they trust that everyone is going to give one hundred and ten poercent every practice, game and other events that they are in together. They are a family for three to four months out of the year. That is how i thinks Benjamin Franklin's quote is still releevent in our modern day

A Dream Within a Dream Edgar Allan Poe

Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow: You are not wrong who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand-- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep--while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save //One// from the pitiless wave? Is //all// that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?

the poem moves from a calm, though solemn, farewell to a more passionate second half. poe is telling us how is life is a dream and perfect. it says the sand flows away until all time has passed, the lovers' time also disappears, and the sand and the romance each turn into impressions from a dream.

Safe Sex Donald Hall

If he and she do not know each other, and feel confident they will not meet again; if he avoids affectionate words;

if she has grown insensible skin under skin; if they desire only the tribute of another’s cry; if they employ each other

as revenge on old lovers or families of entitlement and steel— then there will be no betrayals, no letters returned unread,

no frenzy, no hurled words of permanent humiliation, no trembling days, no vomit at midnight, no repeated

apparition of a body floating face-down at the pond’s end.

A man and a woman grow close together and have a good connection. they are not embarrased and have no regrets. they do not meet again.

The Game of Soccer Unknown Author

Stadium overcrowded by hooligans and fans Cheering, waving flags, and clapping their hands

Players on the field, they’re ready to start There goes the whistle; it pumps up their hearts

Adding strength to the ball, and kicking it high The ball travels overhead, how beautiful it can fly

Over center field, and still it goes strong Pass received with ease, and the player runs long

There he goes, for his opponent’s goal He dribbles through each player; he’s on a roll

He takes the shot, and curves it by The keeper dives for it, far and high

The goalie misses it; the ball’s in the net There’s a moment of silence, and no regrets

The winners jump for joy, that win was a must Opponents, heads tilt down low, they leave in disgust

A player’s life fulfilled is playing world class, To be playing all year long on the rich green grass

Play with heart, that’s the real answer Of how to play the true game of soccer

the poem is about a soccer game. the boy shoots the ball at the goalie. the goalie jumps high and far and the ball goes in and hits the back of the net. you have to play with heart and confidence to succede.
