Be The Thing: John Locke's Pen
Here I am in this room helping my owner question silly superstitions. It's really not that bad
because my owner is very philosophical. But most of the time I get really tired and my ink
always run out because he writes a lot. It's really like putting gas in a car. Another thing is
that when my owner puts me down I feel relieved because now I can get a quick rest before I
start writing again.
What I really liked was when my owner wrote about people's natural rights (with my help). I
liked writing that because life, liberty, and property should be protected. It is the government's
job to do so. Otherwise this place will look like recess without supervision and I will probably
be stepped on or even worse. Thinking about a state of nature makes my ink dry up. So, all
of these feelings a pen can feel is just like you humans. So, whenever you write with a pen
remember that you could be writing with my best friend!

4. Be the Thing: A Crusader's Horse
BOOOM!!!
Oh no, I can't believe I fell asleep! And during a race too! Wait... where's my master... where
am I? This isn't the race track! Who are these people? I'm so confused. "Go you dang horse!"
What? Ow! Why are you whipping me? Go to Jerusalem? What the hay is Jerusalem? "You
better go" said this brown horse that I never saw coming? Why? They want to get to this holy
place called Jerusalem. They say it's their's because Jesus was crucified there. They're trying to
take it from the Muslims. Ok, I guess I'll go. For Jerusalem!
-Next day-
Oh I feel horrible. I've never been so uncared for. I've been shot at with arrows and speared.
And worst of all, we're not making any progress. "Go horse!! I need you! I can't run this far!"
Okay, I will help you!!
-Months Later-
Wow, I thought I was helping but nothing happened. The Muslims still have Jerusalem. What
was the point? "I'll tell you" said the horse I had met earlier. Look at everyone bonding instead
of fighting each other like they have been doing all these years." Oh, I get it so what about this
feudalism thing? It's starting to crash I guess.
BOOOM!!!
What?! "Get up you lazy horse, the race already started!" Oh!! Well, that was weird...

5. Point-Counterpoint Poem: Knights and Peasants
I am a fearless knight. I am a poor peasant.
I believe horses are very good. I believe my crops will grow.
I wonder where I'm going to work. I wonder what will happen if I leave.
I see myself jousting. I see myself in a field of corn.
I hear my friends all yell. I hear my friends eat the crops.
I feel that I'm the one. I feel that I'm a toy being used.
I touch my horse's hair. I touch my mushy pottage.
I am a fearless knight. I am a poor peasant.
I worry about the land. I worry about my family.
I cry because of dead friends. I cry when my lord gets mad.
I understand I protect the people. I understand I have to work a lot.
I say nothing when I work. I say it is okay to be poor.
I dream of better swords. I dream of becoming a knight.
I hope I will not die. I hope I will not go away.
I am a fearless knight. I am a poor peasant.
