"After You Get What You Want, You Don't Want It" w.m. Irving Berlin- I like this song because it shows that things are always nicer on the other side. One of my Dads favorite phrase is "The Grass is always greener on the other side"
"Down By The O-HI-O (I've Got The Sweetest Little O, My ! O ! )" w. Jack Yellen m. Abe Olman- I like this song because it is catchy and I was also born in Ohio.

Stephen Crane
Once I saw mountains angry, And ranged in battle-front. Against them stood a little man; Aye, he was no bigger than my finger. I laughed, and spoke to one near me, "Will he prevail?" "Surely," replied this other; "His grandfathers beat them many times." Then did I see much virtue in grandfathers -- At least, for the little man Who stood against the mountains.
I like this poem because it says that anyone can stand up to any enemy no matter how big, or no matter how great. It also talks about how honoring ancestors and respecting your elders. Crane is an interesting poet and I would like to further read more about him.
Mark Twains Wit
"A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read."
I like this quote because it shows how important literacy is. I generally read a new book every 1.5 weeks. To me, refusing to read really isnt a smart decision because there's a whole world that one is missing while not reading.
