Concrete poem


Stephen King:Different Seasons~Shawshank Redemption

I realized that most people in prison back in the 50's and 60's. Its wierd how back then it wasn't as bad of an environment to be in as it is today. If I ever went to prison I would want my prison to be like Shawshank's. There are less gangs and alot less violence.

I'd like to know why there is no conflict in the story yet. Most stories would address what the conflict is and who the conflict affects. It is a very unorthodox writer that wrote this story. Also I'd like to know why I don't know the main characters name yet.

If I were the author I would have addressed the conflict in my story by now. Rita Hayworth writes books very unusually. I have never read a book that takes this long to address the actual conflict. Books aren't as good if their is no conflict.

I was reminded of stories like holes that have similar plots. In holes Stanley Yelnats has the same kind of experience, because he is also in prison. The only difference is that Stanley accidently got put into prison, whereas the character from Shawshank redemption got put there for a reason.

I noticed that I do not know the main characters name yet in the story! it is actually kind of frustrating not knowing the main characters name in the book. If someone asked me the main characters name, I would not know what to tell them.

Riddle

I linger high in the night sky
I'm only seen at night, nocturnal
I change size as the year goes by

Pale,blue,dark,sad
My blue luminescense illuminates the street at night
I watch over you, like a watchman, as you sleep
Sometimes a circle, sometimes a crescent

The sun illuminates me
When we align it creates something special
I cast a shadow on the world.

    Dear Mom,
    Mom, please allow me to get the Velinion brushless power system for my Traxxas Stampede. My motor or battery is not working properly and i need an upgrade. You should let me purchase the Velinion brushless power system, because I will purchase it with my money, and I will not go full speed unless granted permission from you or dad.
    I know it costs a small fortune, and I just got it for Christmas, but I have the money for it, and I am really good at driving it now, and I know that you love to watch me enjoying myself.
    I have over a hundred dollars in my room that I received from grandpa Burt for my birthday this year that I can use to purchase the system. I would have so much fun driving it, and I could show it off to everybody. I could even say my car goes faster than everybody else’s!
    I will never go full speed with it unless I'm in a large open area and have permission from either you or dad to go full speed. I would be much to scared to go full speed in a neighborhood with it anyways. Plus it would allow me to move the car out of the street faster if a car is coming.
    If you allow me to purchase the Velinion brushless power system, I will purchase it with my own money from my birthday, and I will absolutely never go full speed unless I have permission from either you or dad. I might even let you try to drive it if your lucky!

        Sincerely,
