                                                                    A World Of Darkness


My best friend growing up was named Alex
He was a phenomenal athlete
He loved playing all kinds of sports
But the sport he loved to play was hockey
Alex would always work his hardest to become a better player
In a matter of time all of his hard work would pay off


He then became a professional hockey player in the NHL
He played as the right wing for the Vancouver Canucks
Any hockey player would be honoured to play for a top Canadian team
His life was complete now having a lot of money
Parents, family and friends and having a perfect life


He would always help or care for his friends and family
He was also a teammate who would have a cheerful and great personality
Alex would be there to support and motivate his teammates
Alex would always think of others before himself


However, I realized that Alex had a dark side to him
There were times where he would feel depressed outside of hockey
He would never open up to anyone about these dark thoughts
Despite all of the material things he had in his life, all he truly thought about was death
On a fateful summer day at his home, Alex had taken his own life


Was it insanity that caused Alex to commit suicide?
I will never know the real truth behind his actions
He was loved by many but inside he felt isolated and helpless
My hope is that his loss will educate others on the symptoms of depression
Peaceful thoughts

                                                                                 Poetry Reflection

                                         
Commander Oram was the captain of his submarine
He led a crew of 20 of the bravest men
He loved each man as his own brother
However Commander Oram was faced with the most difficult choice in life
In order to save lives, he must sacrifice the lives of others

Captain Oram took charge of the situation and remained calm under pressure
Once he knew the lives of his crew was in danger
He rose to the challenge and made the best decision for his crew
Was he a cold hearted man?
Did he not love his crew members?

Commander Oram understood the importance of his decision
He then committed to the plan to sacrifice some of his crew
Who lives and who dies?
Was Commander Oram's method the right way to decide?
Was that the right way to decide the fate of his crew?

Despite his best intentions I disagree with him
Those without families have no chance to have their own
The decision of sacrificing lives to save lives will never be easy
But in the end at least he made one

               I will be reviewing the most recent Transformers movie called "Age Of Extinction". In my opinion I thought that it was a very good action packed movie. I also thought that the story line was very similar as all of the other Transformers movies because there is always a new decepticon that appears at the beginning of the movie and then the autobots have to fight the decepticons while getting a unique object to the destination. Then the autobots always defeat the decepticons at the end.  It was a very exciting and enjoyable movie to watch but I just thought that the story line was not really different as the other ones. Basically they should change the story line of the movie which then it would be different and not alike the other movies. Having new autobots and decepticons was very magnificent to see. In conclusion I thought it was a really good movie to watch but I think they should try to change the story line up.
