The Wave: Lily's Poem
The Wave
Lily got up at 10:00 am like she does every morning during the summer. Then she got ready to go to the beach and surf. When she got there she went out in the ocean. When she first got out she saw a great wave, it was not too big but not too small. She then rode it into shore. Everything was going great until the waves started getting rough.

She paddled out it was a little hard because the waves kept getting stronger. Then she heard a surfer yell for help. Lily started to swim as fast as she could over to the surfer. When she got there the lifeguard was about 20 feet away. Lily then told the surfer to hold on to her board. She swam to the lifeguard. Then the lifeguard took the girl and Lily paddled on out again.

    Sandra Lim: Poem Analysis

    Stanford and University of California alumni Sandra Lim reads from The Wilderness on April 7, 2015, at Prairie Lights. As an alumna from the International Writing Program Lim was making her return back to Iowa City after 11 years. In The Wilderness Lim reads a collection of poems about love, spring and one poem that caught my attention was about the individual struggle of one's body within one’s mind. The poems are open to many interpretations but that is the way that I chose to interpret that poetry in particular. The interesting thing about Lim’s poem is how describes the body parts in some of her poems. It is very vague. It almost makes me feel a little bit uncomfortable but at the same time, I really like her style. The way she describes…

    Reginald Rose: Poem Analysis

    Reginald Rose has been a juror before, and he has used his experience to write a play in which he portrays the case of a murder of a boy’s father being put into the hands of people that do not take their responsibilities seriously. One of these characters includes the 7th juror. The author’s use of idiom suggests that in a democracy, there are often citizens that don’t take their role in a democracy seriously. When the writer states, “He’s a bull, this kid. Shoooom. A real jug handle”, (Rose, 2-5)., Rose is conveying his perspective through the 7th juror. The juror’s lack of interest in the case illustrates that there are people in a democracy that have a serious and important role but do not care, and only slack off. Holbrook has a similar…

    She dreamed that she was running from the river, but the water kept catching up to her and pulling her under. It was so real that she could feel the water burning her nostrils and filling her ears and lungs. As she fought against the rising water, a giant eagle suddenly scooped her up out of the water.

    Personal Narrative-Mysterious Lego Beach

    She struggles against the ripping force of the ocean current. Her arms are quickly tiring from swimming against it. She relaxes, letting her muscles fall limp. Within seconds, she is pushed out to sea. The people on the beach are so small, little tiny ants against a white sand backdrop. The tall condo skyscrapers are now tiny Lego buildings. The kids hollering and music blasting on the beach is faded like a distant memory. She will die out here, she’s sure of it. Her daughter won’t have a mother’s hand to hold when learning to walk. Her husband will be left a widower, forever broken by the loss of his love. She closes her eyes and accepts her fate as she drifts further out to sea. She floats for a long while, the salinity in the water steadily…

    Anne Lamott's “Overture: Lily Pads”

    Anne Lamott’s “Overture: Lily Pads”, presents a chain of stumbled steps throughout her life by showing that each stagger has made her stronger and demonstrated that every misfortune and tribulation of her existence has allowed her to become one step closer to God.

I will explain her journey as well as how I think she understands the concept of being “born again”.

    Fayden A Hero's Journey

    His legs pushed him around the ice as he took several deep breaths then stood in the middle of the pond. 'Breath it is just a few spins and jumps.' Fay thought to himself as he did such a routine and started to smile as he added a few other things. His father had trained him but after the fire the ice was really his only place that felt safe for him. He skated and skated until he was mentally and physically exhausted maybe he would be able to sleep a few hours before going into work at the small cafe. He sat down on the ice feeling the cold rush to his warm body as he looked at the grey sky and smiled "Perfect time for a storm."He said as he laid on the ice looking as the lightning danced across the sky in an intense way that made Fay relax more and not hear the ice starting to crack. His hand pushed the black hair out of his face as he sat up when he heard a noise and realized it was the damn ice cracking. He swallowed hard. "This isn't good."He groaned as he tried to shift his weight evenly but soon was engulfed in the icy November water. He tried to grab onto the edge of the ice but no such luck as he went under filling his lungs with the icy liquid making sure he couldn't even try to hold…
