That next year I was officially a freshman at Lagrange High School in Lake Charles Louisiana and it was homecoming week, Devin ask me to homecoming and I said yes I would go to homecoming with him.

    Poet Bruce Dawe wrote the Poem Homecoming, in 1968, depicting the returning of deceased soldiers from the Vietnam War to their homes. The poem was written to convey the common theme of the horror and destruction of war, it’s main message being the last line, “They’re bringing them home, now, too late, too early.” Meaning that they are returning too late, too early in their lives, as these soldiers were most likely in their early twenties or late teens. This poem has a subtle suggestion, or connotation of disgust with those in power and who caused and initiated the war.…

    It was a typical Friday night, in the spring of 2003, my mom had just dropped me off at the gas station so I could go over to my dads. After I got in my dads truck we drove over to his friends house where we would stay till late hours into the night. I tried to stay up as late as I could so my dad would not leave me at this stranger’s house, but inevitably as the second grader that I was I couldn’t compete with the older men when it came to who could stay up the latest. Needless to say I woke up on a couch, in a house I’d never been to. I started crying and frantically looked for a phone, so that I could call my dad.…

    I think that all the goals were met for homecoming court, but there is always something we could do better or change. I think next year we should start planning and ordering things ahead of time, so if something doesn’t come in right we have time to fix it. Next year I think we could be there maybe twenty minutes before we walk down the field instead of an hour, because we wasted a lot of time instead of time girls could’ve been getting ready more. This year’s homecoming court has the been the best and smoothest than it has been in the last 4 years.…
