PARLOR POETRY

(Hopefully my Keyboard stayed working long enough for me to type this all out)

In the seine were montage reads out a poem to the women I would like to replace it with A poem i wrote wile I was still in grade school for my english class. Its not very good but here you go

(Actually there are two :3)

Understanding
What are feelings, what are emotions?
They come when you're born.
You cry,You laugh, get mad, remorse,
Understanding, courage, bravery.
What are they?
You can control them when you laugh
But not when you get mad or cry.
You hold back laughter but not pain.
If you understand what I've said
What is the difference or what is the same?

Nothing Or Twisted Mirrors
Nothing near withough a miror
Can show the pain and tears.
Withough the mirror northing near
can show the toll of fears.

It has nothing, it knows nothing
but to show the pain and tears
Its scared of noothing, its proud of nothing
Yet, It is nothing withough fear.

The though of it can put pain and tear
In the hand of those who use it.
The loss of it can end the fears
Of those who can forget it.

And that's it, Hope you enjoyed.
(Yay keyboard didn't break again, Now its time f)

The Peeved Pedestrian

After reading a few of my fellow classmates post on why Bradbury might have written this novel I've came to my own conclusion, from how I see it Bradbury Didn't write this novel to tell the future or show us how important book are (not saying they aren't). He wrote this to convey a message, A message meant to open the eyes of the reader and to help them understand freedom.

Some of us are nothing but sheep. The pack does something, they follow. The pack falls off a cliff, we all fall off a cliff.

Important things can be taken right from under our noses and only a select few will notice because we are so caught up in being told what to do and not letting ourselves expand into a new horizon

I may be just spouting nonsense because of the time and I'm dead tired an unable to sleep but, from my understanding what I've said is not entirety false.

Think about the things that were foretold would happen in his book: Earbudds, FlatPannel TVs, Hospitals and more. I mean common man!

The story says "Books are against the law" Who tried to stop it? apparently no one. Think about the government today, they have tried many times to take away the simple things we have rights to. Like internet privacy, The right to bear arms, Physical privacy, and on and on.
Now its like we're taxed to live.

"Oh! You're living? Breathing? Thinking? Here let me take this, I don't think you'll need it." as he/she proceeds to take your body and soul, Mind and muscle.

SPRING POST 1: MUSIC AS LITERATURE

Can we consider music to be literature? How do we define literature?
 I would Say it is, Music is just its own form of literature. Its taking written lit and adding Rhythm, This give a more deep meaning to the spoken word.

How do we define literature?
Literature is our way of communication. Communicating can come in many shapes and sizes, it can be a poem, a story, a song and so on.

What is the difference between a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and a symphony? 
Like I said before, Everything here can be written to be the same thing, but create its own mood or feeling towards the subject.

Walden Translation

In my mind he left the distractions of modern life to live out on his own to try and fined a better way to teach what he knows and to have a better feel of that he teaches.
He speaks of us being like ants, Just fallowing a trail, being told what to do, who to be, and I know exactly were hes going with it. Think about it, When do we stop and look at the tiny details? We live life day by day doing the same thing and experiencing the same thing over and over and over. When do we look around us at all the new? You know how your weekend seems to go by faster then the others? Its because we don't experience new thing and our minds don't expand. Look at the video of my first post on this blag and you will see.
