Oct. 7th blog
Love poems are deep. They show a theme of love. The thing is, there are so many different aspects of love that it makes it hard. So far this unit i have learned more about love, and actually started to look at love in a new way. If not in just one new way but many ways. There are endless ways to look at "love."
Love Is Like a.. my own words
Love is like hunger,
it comes and goes
even if you think you are in love
love is like a baseball game
feelings grow and grow
untill the 9th inning
when you go home
feelings are lost
as new oppurtunities unfold
youll find yourself wondering
what your next love might behold
it comes and goes
even if you think you are in love
love is like a baseball game
feelings grow and grow
untill the 9th inning
when you go home
feelings are lost
as new oppurtunities unfold
youll find yourself wondering
what your next love might behold
Love Is Like a...

I Am Not Yours
I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love, put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.

4)Author, Sara Teasdale, displays the theme of love when love is not found anymore between a couple. She explains how someone can be in love and then lose their spirit. Someone can have once been in love and then lose the feelings while the other person stands to believe the love is mutual.
5)"Lost as a snowflake in the sea." This metaphore explains how feelings are lost because obviously a snowflake in the sea with just melt and die just as feelings for someone can do the same.

Poetry Critique
The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
2)I chose this poem because when I read it, I felt a connection. I think the point of taking your own path is important as following others all the time doesn't make you who you really are.
3)The title "The Road Not Taken" is very easily seen in the ideas of the poem. Robert Frost literally travels one road instead of another because he sees the oppotunity in not following "most people."
4)"Because it was grassy and wanted wear" Frost uses imagery here to show that this path has been wanted less be previous travelers and we can tell because the vegitation is much more full then the other path that has been cleared by walking people.
5)I find the tone of this poem to be a kind of personal motivator. It starts as a dilema and shows how making the personal choice- opposed to the popular choice- makes "all the difference." It gives the idea that a lot of positives have come from making the individual choice.

IM Football
I have an IM football game this week and i am really looking forward to it. Being on the "Harlem Hustlers" We have need to win; being that this team is a legacy that's been passed down we have one job, win the tournament. It is so much fun and our team is dominant. At the end of the season playoffs decide the winner, after the winner is decided the teachers put together a dream team to play us. I'm looking forward to playing teachers that I've had in the past because it will be fun to get some payback.
Persnoal narrative titles
My current title is "dreams to dreams." I am very satisfied with my current title because it goes deep into the mening of my paper. The title came to me when I was doing pre-writing for my essay and it was love at first site.

Cabin continued, hope in future
Earlier I blogged all about my cabin. I told how i could have fun there any time, winter or summer. And I fish in both seasons as well. I found an opportunity to get up to my cabin and explore fishing on a whole new level. For school there is may term, an opportunity for students to get exempt from school to do something they enjoy or would like to try. Because you would be exempt from school there must be an education piece in whatever you do, and or would benefit the public. I have an idea of studying fishing on a scientific level and recording how weather and mother nature effects the fishing. I'm hopping this will work out and i will be able to go fish and learn about fishing in the paradise of my cabin!
