MY MODERNISM STORY

 Matteo was a vagabond, on a search for purpose & fulfillment.

     He was bound to the land his mother had brought him to, in the days of his infancy, a land diverse in vitality, the mountains humm, an echo of the past.

     He was happy, & alone. 

   Ahead was the path he had lost about an hour ago, he journeyed north twords home to meet his brother, who was most likely strumming away at his o'l guitar, the two had been living off the land for quite some time but with winter on its way, it would soon be time to venture on to the Big Island to seek out and old friend. 

       The two Brothers Matteo & Angelo were Nomads, underneath the stars was home to them, together they had traveled all across the United States, & ended up in Hawaii.

     There were people up ahead, Matteo gripped his staff tightly & walked forward, the sun beat on his brow he was a free spirit & would always walk bare food, the soles of his feet were thick like leather he had lost all feeling in his feet due to an encounter with a deadly jellyfish.

       He noticed it was a young woman & her older sibling they seemed to be in a rush, as they came closer he noticed the look of terror in their eyes, they stopped, exasperated they urge him to to hedge back not to go any further,

     "You Cant go here you have to turn back man!"

    "Why not! My older brother is down this road i have to get their"

    "Theres no point! The island is erupting!"

      The volcano began to spew out a horrendous cluster of grey smoke it furlled up into the sky & rolled down the side of the mountain. It was miles away but the pyroclastic Flow draws closer & closer, it was a dense, destructive mass of scolding ash, lava fragments & gassses ejected explosively, rapidly flowing downslope.

1. .

     "See that smoke its 800° come in contact with it, & your fried man!
its coming right twords us!!!

     There was no time to lose,
"Thats my brother MAN!
He began to sprint, the house was up the hill,  the deathly smoke silently screaming for his demise. he was terrified of what might happen to his older brother. As he approached the horizon, a familiar engine began to spudder.

 He thought of his mother.
It was as if time stood still, nothing seemed real, he thought he was trapped in dream, far above reality, this was to be it, all his life would be summed up to br, a glimpse of the relentless beauty than. Death.

READING QUESTIONS

1. I think that montag enjoyed buring the books because its fun watching things burn another thing is that montag stated it would be illegal to read them. 

2. The books are compaired to birds because the fleating ashs of the chard books are like birds flying away, it could also represent what has happend to the many birds species that have died off in the future due to pollution 

3. Montag is verry conformative & boaring & clarisse is curious, questions everything & is unconventional, shes close to her family which isnt normal in this wold, theyre like dynamic opposites.

WHAT I SEE IN LITERATURE

And indeed there will be time
To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?"
Time to turn back and descend the stair,

 

Do I dare

Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse

And i have seen the eternal footman hold my coat & snicker 

"In this sense, then, the valley of ashes is a place covered in heaps of ash It is, literally and figuratively, a dumping ground. Those who live close to or around this valley are people who have lost their dreams. They live ordinary, mundane and anxious 

All of these segments are from "Love Song of Alfred Purufrock" by T.s Elliott and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald the last paragraph is from The Great Gatsby i chose these examples to suport the theme which i believe is demonstrated in the words "people whp have lost their dreams"

LOVE SONG (First Impression)

My first impression of the poem "Love Song Of Alfred  Purufrock" written by T.S Elliott was that it was brilliantly written, its starts out with a certain suspension of disbelief, wich leaves the reader questioning & intruiged, its rhyme & meter is genius & im really gratefull to have a teacher who exposes us to this type of literature even tho its advance its not that complicated, to understand the tone is rather somber the main character is timid &  is not self determined, he also hasnt acomplished much in his life. Alfred realizes his life is coming to an end & his best days are behind him & qustions how he should go on. Leaving readers to contemplate their own mortality.

Chapter 7 Notes

In this chapter Gatsby & daisy's infatuation becomes apparent to tom, & as the group heads to Big City Tom starts a planned confrontation with Gatsby, during the heat of the argument Gatsby tells Tom that daisy never loved Tom, that she only loved him. after the scene tom & his friend Find out that Myrtle was hit by a car, & tom believes it was Gatsby, who did it, while he was driving daisy home. but in actuality it was Daisy driving  when Myrtle was hit, With Gatsby willing to take the blame. later Gatsby sends nick to go check on Daisy.

Life Finds a Way

       On 2/16/17, I participated in a public demonstration in which those who are immigrants or immigrant decent weren't supposed to attend school or go to work I chose to skip school to show that I'm proud of my heritage & always will be. we  are all immigrants including those who share prejudice against us..
 
In the words of Jeff Goldblum in the original Jurassic Park movie "If the history of evolution has taught us anything its that: Life will not be contained, life breaks free it expands to new territories, crashes through barriers, painfully maybe even dangerously."
 
"life finds a way "
 
To quote: Neil Degrassy Tyson
  "life journeys to the deepest crevice of the universe" 


       We are supposed to be here we were given this earth to share, to care for it, & as humans we have the right to defend our rights. We need to stand up before its to late, It would astound me to see a nation wide strike, but one day it may be necessary, I'm curious if that would even help much, what we really need is informed people who care. Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote

"Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Then all things are at risk"

 

      let us challenging the way things are & broaden our awareness of the truth, we must be vigilant citizens just as vigilant as this country of surveillance is, we must continue to be seekers of truth. WE ARE THE  PEOPLE... WE ARE POWER.

Comment to post

I don't think anyone is inherently good or bad by nature, but in the right conditions ether side could flourish. Given the fact that we know so little about Gatsby and that much of his life is shrouded in mystery, I can not say for sure whether he is good or bad nor do I think it is my place to do so. However I do believe the author F. Scott Fitzgerald would say Gatsby is good and only just a little confused &.... rather lonely. keeping that in mind as well as the title of the book itself "the Great Gatsby" I think we can safely assume that yes Gatsby is not only good but he is great, worthy of admiration.
