Modern writing

My writing in this morning of time is very different than it would have been 5 years ago.   I feel it would be different because of how much slang we have and how quick we are to say thing with no detail. We just get to the point and were done

My modernist

I am choosing Langston hughes because he was from am era of crisis and happiness and so much life that I feel he has so much to say and offer.  He seems like a one of a kind guy due to howuch he wrote and how many plays he wrote.

The First Seven Years

I really liked this story.  It was really slow at first buy once I got into it, it was already over.  It was a very touching story to me because it shows that true love really is out there and some people will wait for what they want.  Sobel is willing to continue working for feld just to be able to talk to his daughter.  I really liked this story and I would definatly reccomend it to someone.

Essay postgame analysis

Today on the essay I think I did okay.  I didnt do as well as I should have but I relized that after I turned it in.  I should have added a lit more detail in my writing and not summarize to much.  I was jumping to far ahead wh ich made me finish faster.  I would give myself about a C. Next time I will take my time amd concentrate more on detail them summarizing

Parlor poety

I think that montag chose dover beach because it was such a meaningful peom and had so much about life and love and all the wonderful things life has to offer that the women in the parlor knew nothing about.
I chose the poem :Passion Of Life.  I chose it because its ttelling you to strive for something that you should be passionate about.  You shouls always set ypur mind to something that is really important to you

To achieve something great in the world you need PassionTo fulfill vision, a great leader’s courage comes from PassionWhatever it may be, you must find your PassionIf passion drives you, let reason hold the reinsFollow your passion and success will follow you! Never underestimate the power of passionWithout passion religion is spiritlessWithout Passion history is meaninglessWithout Passion art is uselessFollow your passion and success will follow you! When you take up a mission with passionThere are no dreams too largeNo innovation unimaginableNo frontiers beyond reach Follow your passion and success will follow you! Our passions are the winds that propel our vesselOur reason is the pilot that steers herWithout winds the vessel would not move Without a pilot she would be lostFollow your passion and success will follow you! There is no end and there is no beginningThere is only the passion of lifePassion is universal humanityPassion is the genesis of geniusFollow your passion and success will follow you!

My f451

In Fahrenheit 451 the main character was guy montag amd in his community reading was against tje law and of you read or had books the firemen of the town would come and burn down your house. They had mechanical dogs that hunted down people who had books and they were trained to kill.  Montag met a girl named clarrise and he really like her.  He felt she was normal because his wife wasn't.  He hated his wife and they didn't have a good relationship at all.  They didn't talk at all.  They resented one another.  An old woman was found guilty woth books so  the firemen went to her house to burn it down but she wasnt going to let someone else do it so she lit her and her house on fire.  Montag took a book and kept it for himself.  He took it home and he hid it under his pillow and started to pretend like he was sick.  captain beatty went to his house to see when hed be better and mildred was cleaning while montag was trying to hid the book. Clarrise and her family move with out amy word from anybody.  Montag talks to a guy named faber because he knows he can trust him and talk to him about reading and books.  He knew all about books and knew everything montag wanted to know.  Captain beatty knows montag has an I trest in books so he starts sending mechanical dogs around to see whats up.  Captain beatty and montaggo on a job to burn someones house down amd it ends up being montags.  Montag kills beatty and leads the police on a chase after him.  He runs to a river amd sail down it where je comes to some men who happen to be professors looking for a better living life style.  The town gets blown up and montag is the only one alive.
