Post 20; about that develops a metaphor about what you think about poetry.

When I think about a metaphor in poetry, makes me think about how it describes the words. Makes me think about a image or some type of comparison. Person, place, or thing. The metaphor, which continues throughout the poem, is intended to develop a sense of the close.

Post 19: about a metaphor in a song lyric.

You with your voice like nails on a chalkboard, calling me out while im wounded.

Post 18: about the images 2 colleagues' discussed in their posts and how you differ. Use quotes

My colleague is Javorious Brown he talks about "Image is the language that addresses the senses. There are five senses total; touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste. Due to someones preference or past experiences may alter all of that. Whether that's in a good or bad way. In Li Ho "A Beautiful Girl Combs Her Hair" evokes several senses."




My second colleague is Keyshuna McRae  she talks about " The poem "Poetry Should Ride the Bus" by Ruth Forman is a great example of imagery. I believe that images help the reader understand the poem or story from the authors point of view. When you read a story or a poem you should be able to visualize images in your head as you read. In "Poetry Should Ride the Bus", the author states " poetry should hopscotch in a polka dot dress" (847). While reading that line in the poem, I pictured a young girl with a polka dot dress on , white shoes, and pigtails in her hair."






They differ in a way that is one is talking about the five senses and the other one is talking about how poetry should be spoken on the bus.

Post 17: about why images can mean so many different things. Use a quote from a poem and from a song you like.

Images can tell things better then words can tell it. Action speaks louder then words, and images are sometimes better then words. I know when I look at an image I can see the words throughout the image and sometimes predict what happens.Like Maya Angelou poem "Phenomenal Woman" I can see a woman that is strong and is well smart about what she do. 

Post 16: responding to two colleagues' posts. Use quotes.

One of my colleagues, is  Keyshuna Mccrae she wrote about "The poem I chose was "Hazel Tells Laverne" by Katharyn Howd Machan. One of the mythological elements that may have occurred was metamorphosis , which is when a person transforms or changes. In the poem, the author states "an how i can be a princess, me a princess" (Machan 809). The frog that came form the sewage tells the cleaning lady , Hazel, that if she was to kiss him that she would become a princess." 

Second of my colleagues is Rashaan Hatcher he wrote about " The mythological elements in the poem "The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner to me is a void. It seems like everyone is acting normal when everything is not OK.  In the poem it says " From my mother's sleep I feel into a state" to me he is in a care free state nothing can affect him. He is just a void and takes in everything and does nothing."

Post 15 : about the use of mythological elements in one of this week's poems. Use quotes.

The work that is identified in universal responses. Mythological critics interprets the hopes, fears, and expectations of entire cultures. Limit the power of death and to hope for eternal life. Imaginary gods who perform astonishing feats in the causes of love, jealousy or hatred.

Post 14: about 2 of your colleagues' favorite poems or lyrics

I chose Jasmine Brown Post about her favorite poem "The poem I chose was Touched by an Angel by Maya Angelou. The theme of this poem is that love is a very sacred thing and it is also religious. To be loved you must go through many struggles in life. Love should always be worshiped even though it is hard."


I chose Greg Mcpherson about his favorite movie "In my View the theme of my favorite movie "Focus" was about if you keep living by the lies you tell you will eventually start believing in them yourself and it will mold out a certain lifestyle that you will eventually wont survive. I say that because near the end of the movie Nicky tries to save jess  life by trying to tell a full proof lie and it almost worked but because she never slept with the other guy the only way they could get out of the situation was if somebody might have died."
