    Ever wonder what lies in your subconscious mind? Or what you think about when you sleep‚ but do not remember? In “Dark Pines Under Water” poet Gwendolyn MacEwen shows that human subconsciousness is a place of exploration‚ and hides the more deep parts of one’s inward self. The land “turns you inward” as one sees what is really on the inside. The subconsciousness of a person is what they may not know or realize about themselves. A visual metaphor is used to display subconsciousness as “a forest in

    “What you do‚ the way you think‚ makes you beautiful” “What you do‚ the way you think‚ makes you beautiful” this quote by Scott Westerfeld means that if when the right thing is done ‚ or when someone tries to do the right thing ‚ and when they think good thoughts about other people ‚ and other things.

    Life is what you and you alone make of it! What is your view? I believe that we can make our lives into what we want them to become if we have enough drive and reserve to achieve our goals. Our lives are our own‚ waiting for us to take them and mold them into exactly what we want. However‚ our lives are very much influenced‚ affected‚ and controlled by the people around us. Friends‚ parents‚ society‚ and even ourselves‚ can inhibit our hopes and dreams just as much as they can help us achieve

    Do You Believe‚ That You Can Fly? “It’s impossible to live without failing at something‚ unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all. In which case‚ you’ve failed by default.” – J.K. Rowling. Too many pilots have lost the confidence to fly. A one time crash‚ or a flight instructor’s demeaning attitude has left them with the belief that taking off again is just not for them. Goals and dreams have been abandoned‚ either forever‚ or put on long term hold‚ because of

    I appreciate you coming to me for a professional opinion on whether we should turn this poem into a picture book.I’m glad to help avoid another disaster as shown in the past. Although these amazing poems that have shaped how we speak and write to this day some aren’t always appropriate. I think we shouldn’t turn this poem into a child’s picture book. This soliloquy wouldn’t look good in pictures. Some kids do not need to see what it says in the poem. Honestly‚ this poem is kind of provocative. The

    let no one tell you what you are capable or what you’re not. Working together we could all make a difference and change anything‚ so our future would be better. If we want to make a difference we have to lose some pride in our self. We all have pride for what we are and where we come from‚ but sometimes we have to put some pride away to work with other people and get along. “ No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.” Our pride should

    “Who Are You?” RELG 252 Harvey writes‚ “Identifyingn the Buddha’s day‚ the spiritual quest was largely seen as the search for identifying and liberating a person’s true Self” (28). Peter is right in the sense that he identifies himself with all of those things‚ but when he looks in the mirror‚ he sees none of them. We all put labels on ourselves regardless of if they are ‘real‘ or not. Discovering who we truly are is an important step towards enlightenment. “Who Are You?” is a Buddhist poem

    foolishness often provides tremendous detriment to the subject. In William Wordsworth’s “The World Is Too Much with Us” and Gwendolyn Brooks’s “We Real Cool‚” the foolish are lamented for their ignorant ways that ultimately cost them dearly. While the bases for their actions lie within the contexts of these poems‚ the mainspring‚ upon which the behaviors depicted in these poems are built‚ is a compulsion to isolate. Ignorance may be bliss‚ but it often comes with consequences. The rebellious youths

    Fascinating Rhythm: You Got Me! THE METHOD (your thoughts and feelings‚ please‚ before you read “The Muse”) line 1: The old dog up. line 2: I can remember when he was a pup. Aloud now (you can recite it!): line 2 of our poem – at least three times! – and listen to more than just the sense of each word and the sense of each individual phrase; listen purposefully to the sounds your actual two ears hear as you recite line 2 of our poem out loud over and over and over again.

    In Gwendolyn Brooks “We Real Cool” we are given a four stanza couplet that shows the daily activities of seven young men that dropped out of school. What I found really fitting in this poem was how the rhythm of the poem related well to the lifestyle of these young men. Each line comes at the reader quickly. Much like the rapid fire delivery of the lines in the poem‚ these characters also live life quickly both literally and metaphorical. The poem is spontaneous as are the characters and each
