Candle In The Wind:Goodbye England's Rose Sang By, Elton John and Lyrics By, BernieTaupin
Candle in the wind
Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
You called out to our country
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall you
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend never will
Loveliness we've lost
These empty days without your smile
This torch we'll always carry
For our nation's golden child
And even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall you
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend never will
Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
Goodbye England's rose
From a country lost without your soul
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you'll ever know
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall you
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend never will
I chose this poem because it really expressed how amazing Princess Diana was. This poem has a strong meaning towards losing her. The line "Your candle burned out long before your legend ever will" means how important she was to the world and how she will never be forgotten. Even though Diana died she will be remembered for what she did. I really liked this poem because every word meant so much about Princess Diana.
Some Poetic Devices: Lyrical Poem
"Like a candle in the wind" Simile, comparing a candle to the wind

First Women To Become A Doctor: Elizabeth Blackwell
“If society will not admit of woman's free development, then society must be remodelled”
Elizabeth Blackwell was the first women to graduate from medical school, in the modern era. She was born on Feb 3/1821 in England, and died on May 31/1910.
Her family moved to the United States and Elizabeth worked as a teacher to help pay for her medical school fees. After she worked in Kentucky she moved over to North and South Carolina and New York where she studied medicine.
It wasn’t easy for her to become a doctor, there were lots of challenges on the way. When Elizabeth applied to different schools most of them rejected her, except for one. A school in New York thought that Elizabeth was pulling a practical joke... so they accepted her. When Liz showed up at the new school all the teachers found out that she was actually serious. During the first few weeks Elizabeth wasn’t allowed to enter the medical classrooms because she was a woman, but she showed them that she was determined to become a doctor.
In 1849 Elizabeth Blackwell graduated and that’s when she became the first women ever to graduate from medical school in the modern era. That wasn’t it though; she still had a big challenge ahead of her, Elizabeth wanted to become a surgeon but she got an eye infection and became blind in one eye. So she never became a surgeon. Elizabeth looked for hospital jobs in New York but they rejected her, so she went back to London and bought a house so people could come for checkups in her house.
Elizabeth over her whole life had accomplished a lot. She wrote a book called “The Laws of Life; with Special Reference to the Physical Education of Girls.” Liz also wrote lots of other books as well. Elizabeth helped and encouraged other women to become doctors or nurses. So Elizabeth stayed in England and helped to organize the National Health Society and she also founded the London School of Medical for Women.
“For what is done or learned by one class of women becomes, by virtue of their common womanhood, the property of all women.” – Elizabeth Blackwell

The Friday Everything Changed By:Anne Hart
Identity: The boys see their teacher as someone who is masculine and built strong, but the girls see their teacher as a very feminine and pretty looking teacher. Lots of teachers back then looked down at their students and may have treated the boys better than the girls, but Miss Ralston was a teacher like no other. She looked at her students as if they were "real people."

What I think will happen to Ana, Megan and Matthew
I think Megan and Matthew are going to continue dating for a little while. I don't think Megan will go on Vacation with Ana because Matthew told her not to, and Megan will still be scared of telling someone about her relationship. Ana isn't afraid about anything and goes to talk to Matthew, but Matthew freaks out about it. Now Matthew is abusing both Ana and Megan, and soon the girls will tell their parents about everything happening. Matthew and Megan are still going to be together but Megan has the strength to stand up to Matthew. The only way she could ever do it though, would to make up a lie. I think the best way to break up with Matthew without him hurting you would be... to tell him your gay. This way Matthew wouldn't hurt her for anything she did, he would just have to suck it up and move forward (hopefully). Afterwards Megan and Ana become best friends again, and Matthew would never look at Megan again.
