ALL THAT DAVID COPPERFIELD KIND OF CRAP

Summary of Catcher in the Rye Chapters 1 and 2: In chapter 1 Holden Caulfield is seen more as a closed person, who refuses to speak about his earlier life. He only mentions his brother, a Hollywood writer. He later goes on to tell the reader in Chapter 2 about the way his School is and how he feels about it. From these two chapters the reader learns a bit more about the type of person that Caulfield is.

First Impression of Catcher in the Rye

My first impression of Catcher in the Rye was that the author made this book a bit as an autobiography or a journal. In the first few pages he explains in a way about what the book was going to be about. He also starts by telling the reader about how his life was.

MUSIC AS LITERATURE

There is no doubt that music is a form of literature. Literature is "writings in which expression and form, in connection with ideas of permanent and universal interest.." Music also happens to have the characteristics of literature. This is not a coincidence, it is proof that music is literature. For example there's really no difference between a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and a symphony they all are a type of literature.

Poem

Working Together

We shape our self

to fit this world

and by the world

are shaped again.

The visible 

and the invisible 

working together

in common cause,

to produce 

the miraculous.

I am thinking of the way,

the intangible air 

passed at speed

round a shaped wing

easily

holds our weight.

So may we, in this life 

trust

to those elements 

we have yet to see

or imagine,

and look for the true

shape of our own self 

by forming it well

to the great 

intangibles about us.

Intro To Poetry

Walking Together by David Whyte

1.The significance of the title is the title name itself, working together can be so many things good or bad.

2.The tone of the poem is calm and just explanatory in general just telling you to be yourself and that the world can become something better with everyone helping each other

3. The mood of the poem is calm and makes you wonder about how the poem is giving information.

4.It shifts by saying the world is formed around us but at the same time we have to form around it.

5.The theme of the poem is trying to come together to make something miraculous in the world, but we need to all be working together in order for that to happen.

Relationship With Righetti Highschool

   When the narrator speaks about going into a new world with new hopes and new dreams, it reminded me of when I first started high school a few years ago. Coming in as a freshman, I believed I was going to have a great time and I truly looked forward to the next four years. Unfortunately I found my self today as a junior, no longer feeling the same excitement as I did when I first stepped on Righetti High School campus. Unlike my freshman year, I am no longer as motivated to do my best as I use to be. As you can see characters the author describes and I are similar in many ways.
