Oakland Cemetery



When we went to Oakland we had to do a word of what we thought is connecting to Oakland. The word had to represent Oakland somehow. Also before we took the picture we had to get our word approve by a teacher.   


 All of these dead people make me think about the past
How they lived
How they were treated 
How some even fought for our country
But there are many different types of people
Like a good person and a bad person
They are like a cloud in the sky
Soring up into the netherworld
Of the future
In the past of the dead
There were times I just wanted to cry
Or maybe smile
Or chuckle
Whatever it was
I know there
Always will be a place for me
In the future 

This poem relates to Oakland because there are a lot of dead people buried here. Also this connects because it connects to the past and what happened in the past. 


The thing that I learned this week was there were 4 phases in the Atlanta History. I also learned that Atlanta had two names before it got names Atlanta. The names were Terminus and Marthasville.
