Poem Interpretation.

Original

Ma mignonne,
Je vous donne
Le bon jour;
Le séjour
C’est prison.
Guérison
Recouvrez,
Puis ouvrez
Votre porte
Et qu’on sorte
Vitement,
Car Clément
Le vous mande.
Va, friande
De ta bouche,
Qui se couche
En danger
Pour manger
Confitures;
Si tu dures
Trop malade,
Couleur fade
Tu prendras,
Et perdras
L’embonpoint.
Dieu te doint
Santé bonne,
Ma mignonne.

My Version

Girl in bed
Rest your head
I send hope
That you cope
Keep your mind
You will find
Go out-doors
Walk the floors
You must go
For Fecteau
Wants you to
Return too
Enjoy life
Do not strife
While asleep
Try to keep
Food a-plenty
Waste no pennies
Much too ill
So stay still
Awaken
Don't get taken
By sickness
Your thickness
You must keep
Now go sleep
Rest your head
Girl in bed.

Je suis Charlie

On January 7th, 2015, 12 people were killed in a satirical publications office name Charlie Hebdo. Terrorists attacked the building and the writers because there were drawings of their prophet Muhhamand, which the terrorists saw as offensive. One of the biggest issues of this is the suppression of the freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is one of the biggest freedoms that humans have, and these terrorists are the ones who took it away, along with the lives of the writers. #JeSuisCharlie is the saying that is exiting the mouths of many many people. It stands for "I am Charlie". Everyone saying these words stands for freedom of speech, and remembers the writers and police officers who were killed in this event. They live on through the people who say and write these words.
