Experiencing Poetry

Image
 Experiencing poetry  Never thought that anyone would catch me saying that I would enjoy experiencing poerty at the beginning of each English class. But I do.  It's such a unique way to feel the poem anew. It's different from reading it on your own where your own little ways decide where to boom and where to quiet down, where to add apostrophes and where to not, whether the poem has a deeper meaning or I am just interpreting it incorrectly. It is easier when you can see someone actually perform the poem talk about it put emotions in it, It definitely hits how powerful the poems can be, how strong and mighty the words can feel, and the expressions of the speaker can give me goosebumps. I enjoyed the analysis of the poems and listening to how the person finds the meaning and relates to it, even though his voice is too calm sometimes he opens my eyes and my brain to a new meaning of the poem. I never thought that poetry could be animated, or cartoonish, I always thought of i...

Look into my eyes - poem I guess

Image
 Look into my eyes - by me The idea behind this poem was to not just experience poems but also show how people can miss something  Look into my eyes See them from the angle  from different points of you  They are deep, and they can speak They speak the truth we try to hide  So blue just like we are inside  My eyes are blue just like the ocean   The deepest creatures lurk beneath with Hidden Soul of secrets trapped from you to see As I Smile my eyes glisten to remind you of the ocean you are missing  But before you walk away unbothered  look into my eyes again  Explanation  We all have something that we don't show. We all have different struggles, experiences, and ways to hide secrets. The poem depicts that sometimes looking at people's eyes you can tell that the person may have lost their spark or something is happening and sometimes you can't see that unless you really look at someone's eyes. Sometimes people want people to lo...

Progress check

 Woohoo second semester!! Woohoo 114 days left of being a senior... It feels like it was just yesterday that I started my final year in high school, yet after each day passes we are getting closer and closer to graduation.  In just a few months I will turn 18 and teenage life will creep into adulthood as college gets closer.  That thought has been sitting at the back of my mind and every time it pops up I realize how close that idea is to becoming my new reality. It's scary. I don't blame anyone anxious to start their life anew.  The truth is that we are not the same people we were at the beginning of the year, i am even saying we are not even the same as 4 years ago. In the time that has passed, I will focus on the changes that have been made during the first semester of this year. The beginning of the first semester was stressful. Letter of recomandiotns and letters that you have to complete before the first deadline. It's hard really to focus on other things like ...

Why I don't like Tragedy.

Image
 Why I don't like Tragedy.  I can with ease say that I don't like tragedy.  In any way.  Perhaps I might elaborate that i don't like Shakespeare's tragedies.  English class after English class, play after play, I more and more realize that tragedies are not for me. After reading Romeo and Juliet I realized that if all play was based on both delulu people who in the end die because of the lack of communication then I dont want to read it. But every year we revisit the world of Shakespeare and his wonderful tragedies to analyze people like the tragedy of  Othello, Romeo and Juliet, and many more.  So, what exactly I do not like about these plays.  Why are they all based on love? Who broke Shakespeare's heart and made him a monster who would kill couples brutally. One choked his wife because of his honor and then proceeded to stab himself, and two delulu teenagers drank poison because they were so in love. But every play we read was based on the love...

There is two point of views in my brain

Image
 Help me!!! I have two voices in my head. There are two points of view in my brain. Many of us have voices in our brains. I hope so because I am not trying to win a ticket to the mental institution.   For me, at least, I have commentary in my brain: one narrates everything from the first point of view, and the second describes everything from the second point of view. Let me explain.   Let us say there is a hypothetical situation. I am in Paris, walking somewhere, and in my head, I say, "I need to get to this cafe." I am narrating the first point because I need to do it. It's like an unimportant goal, just like a reminder. But then, for example, I would have friends in that cafe. Now, my narration would be, "YOU need to get to the cafe on time, or else they will see YOU as irresponsible and incapable of managing YOUr time." Now, the narration of that second point is more stressful and aggressive.  Sometimes, my second point of view is stronger than my first poin...

Why koda is a complex character

 Koda the complex character of a dog  Dogs are the most prominent companions of humankind. They can be fluffy, short-furred, long-furred, curly-furred, big, small, pricked up ears hanging ears, long legs, short legs, long fluffy tails, skinny tails, different color dogs. A particular dog that I am talking about is Koda. She is a cream-white, short-furred dog with a grey-black nose and paws. She is only a couple of months old. For a surface-level cute puppy, what many people do not realize is that dogs will improve lives. Yes, you heard me right: the puppy will enhance someone's life by helping them with coordination if they are visually impaired. On a surface level, a fun puppy that sleeps goofy on her back and paws up will occasionally lightly bite you because of her teething. Sometimes, She will approach you and put her head in a way so you can pet her. The same puppy will lead the person in need, behind the cuteness, the loyal companion that will help their owner in need. B...

Read or dont read? Thats the big question.

 Face it we all didn't meet the reading goal.  Or maybe it's just me.  Throughout the week we have talked about meeting our goal to read at least 2 hours a week. But let's just face it, most of us are either near the end or not only halfway done with the book.  Personally, I am going to rat myself out on this one but I am halfway finished with my book, don't get me wrong I absolutely love the book and I love the author who wrote the book, but I just haven't had time to sit down and enjoy the book as much as I want to. I don't like rushing through the book so when I found out about the deadline I was kinda iffy about being able to finish the book. I could either finish the book by spending all night reading or b read another new book parallelly to what I am reading now, but that would require me to go to the library and check the book again. Overall reading a book 2 hours a day seemed like an easy task, but that was not the case. I found myself to be exhausted to...
