In particular, I really like the lines 

Fool! What a strange resolution that chills a heart with a look

Renders paradise a blue mirage

Ghosting image

After image

Gone

This caught my attention because of the metaphor that the author use. I the meaning behind this is talking about people or someone that is in there own little "perfect world" and that person world starts to fade and not be so perfect anymore. They start to find out that there world is not real and it was just a figure of their imagination

I like the image it sets in my head about it not being a real world and just being a mirage for someone.

voting age

In my opinion the voting age should be lowered to 16. I think this because at 16, teens can drive a car work. since teens can do those thing, they should be able to vote on who they want to run the country. Teens are the future of the the world. They should be able to vote and have a say what goes on inn the country that they will be living in for many years to come.

The Adaptable Mind

In my opinion I demonstrate the trait "Curiosity" because I always ask lots of questions. For example I am curious and want to know what is going on and what I can do to get involved. In the future I plan to continue to develop my personal growth by getting better at the other four traits.
