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.
