My favorite song  lyric is Adele Song "Hello".  The songwriter emphasis that she has a phone in the middle of nowhere and she needs to get reception and and the towers that are there and she wants to talk to her loved one. They been going through hell and back. She is out of town and she wants him to return her call.

Post 10: about two colleagues' symbols

One of my colleagues' Alexus Boles , she describes the A necklace with a basketball and the letter A on it. She describes how it makes her feel coming from her mother and God-Mother. She loves any type of jewelry and that her favorite sport is basketball.


Second one of colleagues' Javorous Brown, he describes the tattoos he has 3. They are Italian style. His first tattoo is a anchor and wheel, meaning he's able to steer himself out of any hard situation that comes his way. Another tattoo is "VENI, VINI, VIDI". It states "I came, I saw, I conquered. And my newest and last tattoo is another Italian quote which says " é tutto un equilibrio sopra la folia". Which means "its all a balance above the madness".

Something that I wear often is my rings and my Jesus bracelet. The rings symbolizes that my mom gave me a heart ring and it means the most to me. I wear it on my right had middle finger. The second ring that I wear is on my left hand on my marriage finger.  It symbolizes the graduation ring that was giving to me from my God Dad. Also, the Jesus bracelet that I wear on wrist comes from my mother also. It's colorful and enjoy wearing it.

Post 8: post response to 2 colleague's view of setting. Use quotes and links.

In Thomas Smith blog about Hemingway's setting he portrayed it as, in Oklahoma. "Krebs left college to enlist and go to war for his country in 1917. He came back to the United States after the group before him came back. He returned in 1919. He eventually returned to Oklahoma years after the war was over. No one knew why he decided to come back so late after the war. The social norm back then was he had to lie in order for his friends to believe him. That's Basically a double standard. It eventually caught up with him because he began to have flashbacks of what really happened."


In Jasmine Brown blog about Hemingway's setting she also said I Oklahoma. " This takes place in the year 1920 during the summer. This is after World War 1 has ended when the people in the war return home from fighting. " Krebs's returned tot his home town in Oklahoma the greeting of heroes was over" pg. 187 paragraph 2

Post 7: post about the setting in either Hemingway's or Packer's story.

The setting for Ernest Hemingway's short story "Soldier's Home" is a town of medium size in Oklahoma. The time is the summer of 1919. Much of the story takes place in the home of the young protagonist named Harold Krebs, who has only recently returned from France and Germany, where he was fighting in important battles in World War I. His mother is a housewife. His father is in the real estate business and deals mostly in farm property. Krebs spends much of his time in the house.
