100 Word Sentence!
Finally Home:
As the small rugged plane was landing, mercifully, on the wet snow covered Denver strip, I looked out the window and that was when I saw them; all three of them with their glowing faces, their soft smoky, smooth, colored skin, and their identical big brown eyes that blissfully met mine; reminding me that I was finally home, finally where I was meant to be; with my boy's, my loves, the three little people that meant more to me than any object of value, any possession, simply any thing of existence in this eternal so called life we live in.

My Reflections on N. Scott Momaday
This poem reminds me of a relationship that has gone sour. When Momaday states, "What did we say to eachother" I think refers to a fight that went on and escalated to things the couple really didn't intend on talking about. Now that comments were made that may have been taken to far, the couple can't even remember what was said. But they do know, things went bad. Now, they are as deer on high alert. The couple may be walking on egg shells, highly alert to eachother. Ears and body very watchful to not say something wrong or make a wrong move.
Questions:
1.) Momaday never tells us what was said. Does this omission keep us from understanding the comparison.
I think Momoday may leave it to the reader to decipher the comparison. Yes we understand how the deer are feeling, but anyone can choose what to compare his comment "What did we say to eachother." For instance, one could think of a woman who just told her boyfirend she's pregnant or a couple who just got in an agressive fight.
2.) The comparison extended with each detail adding some new twist. Explain the implications of the last line.
I think with the previous line he implicated the deer were on high alert for something to happen. With the last line, it is obvious the deer are now running from whatever they were carefully motioning too.

Now Here We Are
How do we feel?
now that we are as a locked up house
with one key to open doors
with locked widows
with an alarm to warn intruders
with walls to block the rain
with a thermometer to adjust temperature
with a strong sturdy concrete structure
The Fight
How shall we look at each other?
now that we have spoken in anger
now that we have broken glass
now that we have sharpened edges
now that we have drips of blood
now that we have two sliced hearts
now that we have nothing to love with
now that we are blind

Questions for William Johnson!!!!
1.) In the poem Dogwood, what does the tree nailed with bloody after bloody and the crucifix resemble?
2.) What are you suggesting in the poem Moose Dreams? It is as simple as a man enjoying himself out in the forest?
3.) How do you get inspired to write a poem? Does it come easy? Do you take experiences from the people around you or yourself?

Reflections of Dogwood by William Johnson
This poem is about the smoltering hot days between July and early September. Mowing the grass is like a treterous chore because it is just so hot. One is so annoyed, sweating, pushing along, and the neighbor's annoying mutt follows you with each row barking! I'm thinking that the author chants dogwood 3 times because when this tree sprouts back into life, the smoltering days of summer are over and the cool days of fall are back. I'm not really too sure what the writing of crucifix and the tree being nailed with bloody after bloody. But, it could be referring to the Dogwood Tree. Maybe the Dogwood tree resembles his faith and rock in times he most enjoys. Like, cooler weather in the fall.......?????If someone could help me with this one that would be great!!!
Reflections on William Johnson's Moose Dreams!
This poem I am going to take a hack at, but is probably way off...So go easy on my interpretation!!!!! This poem reminds me of high school days when my friends and I would go camping to the CDA river. We would go fishing when dawn was creeping in, the sun blazing down on our back as were attempting to catch the first fish of the day. Once, when we looked across the river, we saw a tall, long-legged straddling Moose. I think what William was trying to portray was a man relieving his stresses out in the wilderness. The man can leave behind all the chutzpa (for good or for bad) in his life and just be. He compares his burdens to the weight of bone-wings on christ. This man is one who loves to hunt. Smelling the musk, and describing it as something that if it were fumes he would have "snuff" to much in his day. When he throws his fish in the cooler, as we all do, he gets the last look from the fish. The fish is pist he was caught and gives him a last glare of life.

Coward by A. R. Ammons
Bravery runs in my family.
I find this little poem very interesting. It can be taken in two ways. One, that is obvious, the author is saying bravery is something that is a present characteristics in his family members. OR! that bravery is litterly a characteristic that is running away from his family. No one carries it and deal with the undesirable reality they are cowards.

Fire and Ice by Robert Frost
1.) To whom does Frost refer to in Line one and two?
He simply refers to people who have opinions about how the world is going to end. I think that I always look WAY to in depth regarding these peoms so I am going to try and keep things simple and see how that works.
2.) What connotations of fire and ice contribute to the richness of Frost's comparison?
When frost uses the words desire or hate he contributes to the richness of the suggestion of fire. Usually when people think about relationships that are built on fire, desire comes to mind. Or even fire could be compared to hate or the devil. I'm not really seeing any connotations to the word ice. And ideas????????

My reflections on The Victory, by Anne Stevenson
1.) Newborn babies are often described as "little angels" or "bundles of joy." Hoes does the speaker of "The Victory" describe her son?
She describes him as gory, with black insect eyes barbing the air. Her newborn is described as a snail and a hungry snarl.
2.) Why does the speaker describe the child as an "antagonist" (Line 5).
The antagonist is against that which the main character (which is the mother) contends. An antagonist is often a villian, set of circumstances, or a force that is in conflict with the protagonist. Obviously, the baby is viewed as an enemy of the speaker that is simply put as a set of circumstances the mother must tend too.
3.) Why is the poem titled "The Victory"?
Maybe it is called The Victory because out of everything the mother thought she was getting by having a baby, ended up in complete contrast. She must put her needs aside, her wants of what she expected and tend to the babies neverending cries, hungry appetite, and every want and need. In the end, the baby won the battle of schedules and routine despite if it makes his mother unhappy.
4.) Why is the infant compared to a knife in both lines 2 and 12?
Her thinking that he was her victorey, she feels that the baby back-stabbed or cut all dreams and hopes.

My reflection on T.S. Eliot, The Winter Evenings Settles Down
1.) What mood is evoked by the images in Eliot's poem?
The poem begins with a bodily sensation of smelling steaks in the passageways of the city. It quickly turns into visual imagery. Eliot is visualizing burnt-out ends of smoky days, with a gusty shower begining. He sees leaves floating about his feet, newspapers, a smoking chimney, and a stamping cab-horse. The mood that I interpret from this poem is wanting to cuddle up next to a fire and read a good book. Winter is beginning and the town is becoming empty due to cold wheather. It brings about a sense of emptiness or deserted....With the vacant lots and broken blinds and chimney-pots.
2.) What kind of city neighborhood has the poet chosen to describe? How can you tell?
To me, it sounds like a part of the city that has been deserted, or has turn into poverty. However, I am horrible at poetry and could be completely off on this!!

Poetry time!!!
Piano by D.H. Lawrence
1.) Jot down a brief paraphrase of this poem. In your paraphrase, clearly show what the speaker says is happening at present and also what he finds himslef remembering. Make clear which seems the more powerful in its effects on him.
The speaker is brought back in time by the simple singing of a woman. From her singing he remembers his own mother playing the piano and singing. He is by her side and longs for the safety and stable days he spent with her in his cozy parlor. As he remembers this, the singer (presently) burst into more emotion which in return takes him deeper into memory. It makes him long even more for his childish days long ago. The powerful effect lies within the woman presently singing. She is the one that draws these missed memories back.
2.) What are the speaker's various feelings? What do you understand from the words insidious and betrays?
It seems to me the speaker's feelings are wanting to be back in the stability and safety of his childish days. He misses the carelesseness the life he used to hold. By using these words he could mean he misses this life so much, that he almost views the woman singing as dangerous and menacing for it to bring him back to such light times. He may not want to remember what it was like because life now could be full of stress, structure, dead-lines and responsibility. To remember, could only make him hate his life even more now.
4.) What is the subject of Lawrence's poem? How would you state the theme?
I would say the subject to be singing, piano, or a song. The theme would be missing the carless and safety of childhood. Also, remembering the simple cues that lead to the memories as simple as a woman singing.

1.) Are the brothers in the stroy developing characters or static ones? Does either one of them undergo change or do we simply lear more about their established personalities as the story proceeds?
I think the characters are static and we simply learn more about their personalites as the story progresses. Even when the story ends, Pete is dumfounded and angry that Donald once again gave some stranger his money. He makes him get out of the car, and drives off knowing they are in the middle of nowhere and Donald is going to have to walk his way back. But, after leaving Donald as he drives away, he knows that he will always go back and pick his brother up.
4.) Do you believe Donald's claim that Pete tried to kill him when they were children? Why or why not?
I don't believe that he really thinks Pete was trying to kill him. But, I do think that he veiws Pete as this person that is always proving him wrong, always making him feel like he is inferior. In the eyes of other people, Donald is viewed as a waste of like and Pete the one "who made it." Which in a sense, is killing to his ego or purpose in life. Pete always kills the motivation or thoughts that go on in Donald's mind.
5.) In one of Pete's dreams he is blind and dependent on Donald to take care of him. Does Pete really need Donald? If so, for what?
He does need his brother. His brother is one who truly cares about the soul's of others. He can help his brother to remember that expesive cars or trips are not truly what matters in life. Donald is carefree and Pete really does not live like him.

Meeting with Doctor Hepworth
On Feb. 5th I met with Doctor Hepworth to discuss stories and my scene. I think this was beneficial because I actually ended up re-writing my scene and having abit for more fun with it. In my original draft, there was no dialogue or description involved in the characters. Even reading the stroy just seemed to drag on to me. Also, there was really no fiction involved, lying I discovered adds a tid bit more fun in actually writing! So, I just started over. I began by just using dialogue and added some description later. I like this story a lot better and realized it's not actually THAT HARD to write a scene. Just use some imagination and start writing. So thank you Hepworth for the inspiration!!! :)
My relections on The Jilting of Granny Weatherall by Katherine Anne Porter
1.) In the very first paragraph, what does the writer tell us about Ellen (Granny) Weatherall?
The writer protrays Ellen to be obviously close to death in the sense that she sees Doctor Harry floating around her bed as he's talking to her. She seems to be a stubborn woman who would rather be taking care of herself. She has been all of her life, so it is normal for her to make sure that everyone knows that even if she comes off rather rude.
2.) What does the name Weatherall have to do with Granny's nature (or her life story)? What other traits or qualities do you find in her?
The name Weatherall refers to Granny "wheathering" all atributes of life. She has basically been through everything; All the ups and downs of life. She took care of many children, had a husband that left her for a younger woman and enjoyed having much to do around the house. She seems to enjoy being the one people look to for help. But, not she is the one that people are providing for. She is not afraid of dying, in fact she has faced the idea of dying for a long time.
3.) What do you understand from the statement, "Her bones felt loose, and floated around in her skin, and Doctor Harry floated like a balloon." By what other remarks does the writer indicate Granny's condition? At what other moments does she fail to understand or confuse what is past and present?
Granny is obviously dying. She is slipping in and out of cosciousness and not necessarily feeling the weight of her body anymore, but her soul. Another comment that indicates this is, "Cornelia knelt down and put her head on the pillow. She seemed to be talking but there was no sound. Cornelia's mouth moved urgently in strange shapes." She simply cannot hear or understand conversations anymore. Another remark is when she indicates that the doctor need not be there because he was just in three minutes ago. However, a whole entire day had gone by. She is also confused about when the priest comes to visit her. She is obviously annoyed by his visit thinking that he is coming to inquire about her soul but in reality he is simply there to guide her sould to heaven.
11.) " This is the story of an eighty-year-old woman lying in bed, getting groggy, and dying. I can't see why it should interest anybody." How would you answer this critic?
I would say that this is the story of a woman leaving the earth and entering into heaven. It takes the point of veiw and thoughts of what someone thinks when they are dying. She revisits places in her mind that have been pushed away for quite sometime. To her, her thoughts are clear and meaningful. To me this is a sad story. This woman thinks she has prepared herself for death but come to find out when she knows it's time, she begs to her daughter, "I'm not going, Cornelia, I'm taken by surprise. I can't go." This stroy has much more to it that a woman groggy and dying.

2 Points for LOVE STORY!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Here's a lil' somthin somthin for the love day (4 min love story)
Everyone in town knew they were madly in love. It was a small town and even the local priest noticed his car parked at her house every night, the noon walks into the woods, or the loving gaze they had when they locked eyes. But it was not always so easy for Kara and Noah in the begining.
"Kara!!! Get down here! You have breakfast at 8:00, and lessens and 8:15! HURRY! I will not allow you to be late once again!" Kara's mom yelled.
"I'm comin' mama! I'm comin'!" Kara yelled back.
As she walked downstairs she could feel and breath the tension that was in the breakfast room.
"Kara! You think your sooo sly. You think I wasn't going to notice your sneaky ways. He was here last night WASN'T HE!?" her mother questioned.
"No mama, I don't know what your talkin' bout. Honest. I was readin' all night" Kara said, praying she didn't have the look of a liar.
"No, Kara, you know I know he was here! Goerge the buttler SAID he saw his car leaving early this mornin' through the back pasture!!!" Her mother said.
"No mama, he WAS NOT!!!" They both knew dam well he was and that Kara wasn't innocently reading all night in the safety of her room.
"Kara, I have had enough. I forbid you from seein' him. He is not good for you or for our family reputation. He makes 1$ an hour workin' at the mill. He's dirty and NO GOOD!" Her mother sneered.
"Oh no, mama you can't!" She started crying. "I love him mama, and you are not going to stop me from doing the one thing I have passion for in my life!"
Her mother said with astonishment, "WHAT! How do you know what love is! Your only sixteen Kara!!!!"
"Oh ya mamma and you do!? You don't look at Papa the way I look at Noah. You don't dance, you don't laugh, you don't do anything that puts a smile on your face. You, mama are the one who doesn't know love!" Kara said without hesitation.
"Kara, that's it. You are going back to New York, you'll take the first train back to the academy at 4:00 p.m today!! Now get to packin" Her mother ordered.
With that, Kara thought about living one day without Noah, going back to the suffocating academy and fled out the back door leaving her mother with her mouth wide open.

1 point for watching the Grizzaly Man~
This was a VERY interesting movie. I felt like this mad had some mental problems. However, THAT IS PURELY AND STRICTLY MY OPINION. I think that it is sad that his girlfriend had to be brought into the whole situation. Grizzley bears have never really been documented as being kind, trusting creatures. I'm not saying he deserved this, but putting himself in such proximty to the bears to me seems careless and uneducated. I undertand he wanted to protect them and understand that beautiful world in which they inhabit but thinking one could be-friend the bears seems ridiculous. It his ending recordings he kept repeating that if put in the position of a bear killing him, he would feel no regret or remorse towards the bears. If that is how he felt, knowing this was going to happen at some point, he should not have put another human being at risk.
