I AM HERE

My goal was to eventually use this class to the best of my advantage and not look at assignments as a "to do" list. Now I have made some progress because I am able to say that I'm not miserable doing this ! Still not what I was going for but I have the rest of the year to make that change. The project we had to do on Fahrenheit 451 was not near what I was expecting it to be but I'm definitely happy with the way it came out.  Also, I do plan on messing with a senior or two.

IN MILDRED'S PARLOR

My poem: Sitting here, beats in, with the end of my pencil just under my chin.. I'm suppose to think of a poem to create but damn I have a headache. I know this what I'm not suppose to write but it's what I feel so it feels right..

So I'm a little confused with this assignment because I don't see how my poem can possibly relate to "dover beach" other then the fact that Montag reads it in a tone that he feels at the moment where in mine I'm writing what I feel.

SPRING POST 1: MUSIC AS LITERATURE

I think music is like literature in some ways, such as that it's always changing to what people would say is popular during that time but at the same time they're way different then eachother because in literature it's a story being told just about every time where in music it can or can't be. There is no true definiton of literature because it's always changing.
