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.

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.

Chp. 1 remix

       
     their are many things we learnt in chapter one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's book the Great Gatsby, although we know nothing about the great Gatsby & what makes him great  but we do know the narrator, nick who has come home from the great war, only to find it doesn't really feel like home anymore, Nick moves out to a neighborhood know as the east egg, where his dilapidated house is surrounded by mansions, his neighbor is, the Great Gatsby. On his first day there he goes to go eat dinner with a distant relative, whom he barley knows, upon arrival we find that there's a lot more to them than what is stated in the book, subtle inclinations are implied though the dialog , which makes the book a lot more realistic, we get to form our own opinions about the characters as we view them through Nicks stream of consciousness, this book is brilliantly written & wasn't written just for the sake of writing it was written to be a great story & that's all it is, simply a masterpiece celebrated in the literary community, it has even been remixed in a movie that I have yet to see, but nonetheless I look forward to see how the plot unravels & I'm excited to finally meet the Great Gatsby!

A CROW THAT I KNOW.

I looked out the window the other day

& noticed a bird, perched on the roof.

I imagined it was me

I knew it was me

me, but in a different form

I was flapping my feathers

trying to dry them,

it was raining,

but still the weather was ideal

the winds carried my wings I felt free

free to be me.

I was looking for a tree

one that was just for me

one free of other birds

I wanted to be alone,

left to hear my own words

maybe id find a worm to eat,

id swoop down & catch it with my feet.

theirs a little crunch to it, 

so I swallow the poor thing whole

 my kind of funeral.

I really needed a snack

to fuel the restless wings on my back

it seems us birds have a knack

for surviving on just about anything.

tonight id try to shut my eyes

hold on tight

 and hope for a new day.
