I Can’t Be With You Fast Enough When I was a little girl I ran to my parents after school And when I was excited I would twirl I never felt like a fool Because expressing my love Was the top of my list, upmost and above And as I aged My expressions diminished And my interactions became disengaged I was embarrassed by being childish I would rather die Than show my love to any guy Until one day I…
Little sister Her hair curls in ringlets of sun Shining bright from her head She lights up the home Gaps highlight her sweet smile Like army soldiers late to roll call Missing Incisors leave her with a slur And at night she waits for a fairy to trade tired teeth for money The weight of life stalks behind her But she’s too fast to catch She wins every race And every game Yet as her sun begins to frizz And…
QCQ 1: “War is a man’s game–that the killing machine has a gender, and it is male”.(6) War has been considered a man’s game since the beginning of time. However, many women share the same attributions to the men who have created this stereotype. Is war truly a man’s game, or is it impossible for anything to be a woman’s game in a male dominated society? QCQ 2: “Something becomes real–to those who are elsewhere, following it as “news” –by…
Confirms- “I cannot accept the idea…a computer screen…[can recreate]..the same mental concentration and spiritual isolation that may be achieved by the act of reading a book”. I agree that a computer can never replace the qualities of a book, reading a book is a very personal and private experience which is hard to achieve on a device. Does this mean that the reading experience is more important than the literature itself? Challenges- Specialization “eliminates those common intellectual and cultural traits…
Sleek roads meld into black skys As curved as the wheel maneuvering them Headlights do little to bite the darkness But happily sear my eyes with every passing car The road eats away at my wheels My car becomes nothing Just me and road Yet Something in the distance Something road has hidden from me The outer curves of her hides A figure I have never been good at eye spy My brake lights illuminate My headlights flash onto Him…
Every Piece is a Memoir My mind squishes around my ideas I rip them from my head and splatter them on the paper Brain matter spills out words Like alphabet soup I etch my soul into every letter Graphite evolves Scribbled symbols inscripted with meanings begin to dance across my page My book is bound With the leather of my skin And signed by the blood in my veins Every part of my body helps create A story made of…
Quote 1: “Formatic style diminishes the creativity of both the author and the receiver of art because it introduces the apparent accessibility of trade marked homogeneity into the art” Comment 1: I agree with the notion that accessibility to trade diminishes the importance of an item as we cherish originality. However, in today’s society anything can be duplicated and people like to share in trends. Everything can be replicated, cheepened, or formulated. Question: Would art only be creative if an…
Critical Thinking and The Liberal Arts: We Neglect Them at our Peril. Based on the title alone I hypothesize that the article is going to be focused on the importance of the liberal arts and critical thinking. The subtitle indicates that the liberal arts and critical thinking are so important that if society continues to reject them there will be “peril.” 2. The first section of the article “What are the Liberal Arts?” breaks down the terms liberal and art…
The handbook states that the core curriculum helps engage students in natural, social, humanistic, and other environments. My classes have mostly focused on social studies up until this point. The classes I am in currently engage students in a seminar style which furthers the social aspects of my education. In regards to the focus on natural studies I am taking an environmental class in order to support my core curriculum. The environmental aspects of that class help to facilitate the…
