Im Late but I'M HERE

Everyday I think about my  performance in every class, and so when I don't do assignments I obviously think on what the consequences are going to be. My performance in this course goes on and off. There are times were I try my best to do the work given to me and there are these times were I'm just really unmotivated to do anything. I want to succeed but I cant succeed when I'm not motivated to do my work. But I guess you can say I'm here in class just not participating in it sometimes.

Chapter 6 of Catcher in the Rye

In this chapter Holden talks about when Stradlater got back from his date with Jane. Once Stradlater gets back Holden wants to know what he did with Jane but didnt want to ask him. The reason why Holden wants to ask Stradlater is because he likes Jane. At one point in the chapter Stradlater hits Holden because he kept teasing him about his date and kept calling him a moron.

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.
