Poems about friendship ...

THE PEEVED PEDESTRIAN:

Ray Bradbury written this novel to ramify from the everyday ordinary literature during this time.   I came to this conclusion because the literature seen back then when it was written  isn't anything like Fahrenheit 451 and might seem a little  concerning to the people reading it back then.

Title: I'M A POET AND I KNOW IT

MY HAIKU 

Thoughts of doubt linger

My legs start to shake

I still keep climbing

Cool breeze fills my lungs

The warm sun burns the daylight

Sweat runs down my face

Victory is mine

This mountain; a piece of cake

We will meet again

SHELL BEACH HIKE

Montag Version

Thoughts of doubt linger
My legs start to shake
I can't keep climbing

Ash clouds fill my lungs
Kerosene runs down my face
Finally over

Victory is mine
Books; all burnt to ashes
I sit back and think 

FAHRENHEIT 451

Five things I learned reading Fahrenheit 451:

-Books are not allowed
-Firemen will burn down your house if they find a book
-You will be arrested for having books
-Most people hide from others about the books they have
-Being interested in intellectual activities will make you an outcast

Poem: THEME FOR ENGLISH B By:Langston Hughes

This poem by Langston Hughes took me about a full day to memorize.  When first looking at this I thought to myself I would never be able to memorize this because it didn't even make any sense reading it the first time around.  Memorizing each line, the story soon became more and more familiar to me.  As I read it over and over in my head it felt like it was me telling the story to my instructor.  Going over this countless times the story became embedded in my mind and I could say it faster and faster each time I said it out loud.  After overcoming this obstacle, I realized that the poem wasn't so bad after all.

"SPRING SEMESTER PLAN 1"

My plan for this semester is basically the plan I try to keep every year.  Grades are very important to me and being able to maintain them is even more of an accomplishment.  Some goals i have outside of school is being able to travel the world and take pictures of all the experiences i have.

"SPRING POST 1: MUSIC AS LITERATURE"

Can we consider music to be literature? How do we define literature? What is the difference between a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and a symphony?

 Music in my opinion is definitely a form of literature.  The whole thing is a story just telling it a different way.  We define literature as writing in which we express our deepest thoughts, feelings, and the world around us with immense detail.  There really is no difference between a novel, poem, rap, song,opera, or symphony because they all tell a story, just in different ways.
