Dear readers,
So you all know that we are doing poetry out loud and we need to choose poems that speak to us. As per the assignment I picked the poem "Full Moon" by Elinor Wylie. I found this poem one night when I was looking through the POL website and the title intrigued me to look at the content of the authors mind, poured out onto the page. The first time I read "Full Moon", I was very mystified. To go along with the title of this blog I thought that the poem was talking about a werewolf because of the title and the emotions and pain the narrator was going through. After reading the poem a few more times and looking up the words that I did not know, I realized that the narrator was actually someone with overflowing emotions. But as I was memorizing this poem I finally realized what the last two stanzas meant after reading them about a hundred times in the process.
Those looming stanzas had me wondering for the longest time what they were about and now that I have connected with the poem by memorizing it, it is all clear to me. In the second to last stanza, she is trying with all her might to be rid of every last feeling that is eating her up, she just wants to be empty. The last stanza is about how she has finally gotten her feelings under control and discarded them but she then knew she would rather have overwhelming feelings than no feelings at all, because even if her feelings confused her she doesn't have any motivation without feelings.
I think that I initially was connected to this poem by the fact that I knew nothing about it and just wanted to uncover a hidden meaning. But as I started to understand it and commit it to memory I was drawn in by the tough feelings that she was having and how everyone gets like that at times. Her actions are a lot like mine as well because she goes out in the cold to clear her mind and sort her thoughts which is what I do. Over all I really like my poem and am excited to share it with the class.
Love, Amaya

The Great Poem Hunt
Dear Readers,
I have set out to find a poem to memorize and recite to the class. This poem must be something I connect with and feel linked to.
Task number one:
1. Read a poem that begins with the first letter of your name.
"A Dream Within A Dream" by Edger Allan Poe
2. Read a poem that begins with the third letter in your last name.
"Not Waving But Drowning" by Stevie Smith
3. Read a poem that the person sitting next to you suggests. Suggest a poem to the person sitting next to you.
They suggested "Medusa" by Louise Bogan. I suggested "Full Moon" by Elinor Wylie.
4. Chose two more poems to read.
"The Film" by Kate Northrop and "The Vacuum" by Howard Nemerov
Task number two:
Of all of the poems in task one I must say the poem I connected the most with was "A Dream Within A Dream" by Edger Allan Poe. I liked this poem because he is talking about a perfect world that will never come true and that has every thing that he ever wanted. The poem that I least preferred was "The Film" by Kate Northrop. This poem just didn't reach out to me like the others and didn't leave me in aw. out of all of these poems I would want to work with "A Dream Within A Dream" I connected with this poem because Poe wants things to come true that may never happen, but he dreams anyways.
Task number three:
For the recitation of the poem I think that one of the easiest parts will be memorization because I am taking a Drama class and we are required to memorize all of our scenes. Another element that I think will be easy for me is the articulation because while presenting I keep a composed voice. A more challenging aspect will be physical presence, this will be because I have stage fright which I think Poetry Out Loud will help me with. One last thing that I will have the slightest trouble with is evidence of understanding. This will only be a problem until I have totally memorized my poem.
Task number four:
I watched a performance of "Writ On The Steps of Puerto Rican Harlem" by Gregory Corso, this performance was good because he put physical and vocal emphasis where it made sense. He also articulated his words and was very clear on what he was saying and knew what the poem meant. I also watched "My Mistress' Eyes are Nothing Like The Sun" by William Shakespeare. This performance was was done well with good understanding of the material and stage presence.
Task number five:
I am very excited for Poetry Out Loud because it is a very challenging yet fun assignment. After spending time on the website and looking through poems I think my final decision for a poem will be "Full Moon" by Elinor Wylie. I choose this poem because it reached out to me and made me want to read it again and again. As for the competition I think that overall the experience will make me a more knowledgeable person.

Buttery Goodness. Yum.
Dear Readers,
Before reading and discussing the poem "Lobsters" by Howard Nemerov, I always thought of these royally beautiful creatures as a fancy treat dipped in butter. Yet after spending time discussing this poem it took on a whole new meaning. A comment that was made in the discussion I was participating in made me think about the story from a whole new perspective, and how the lobsters are just symbols for humans and all other creatures. The comment made was that the poem represents the beginning of the end. This statement was confusing at first and seemed like it did not have much to do with the poem, but after I thought about it I realized that it was a powerful insight into the story.
When someone brought up that this poem was about the beginning of the end I didnt under stand what they meant but looking back at the discussion and having had time to think about it I understand what that person was trying to get at. From my perspective "the beginning of the end" is talking about the reality that everything must die. No matter what part of your life you are in there is always a choice that choice may be made for you, like in the case of the lobsters at the Super Duper, but any choice can lead to your demise. And that choice acts as a beginning to the end.
Love amaya.

Hears To All The Skills
Dear Readers,
After what felt like having 100 papers read aloud to me, we are finished. Not that I didn't enjoy hearing what everybody thought of the book and what lesson they came out with after finishing To Kill A Mockingbird, the reading became a bit repetitive. Along the way I learned so much, and left the experience with a knowledge I did not have before. I learned beneficial skills mainly from others mistakes. A very common mistake some people had was plot summery in commentary sentences. This mistake can be very big problem in a paper about theme. Theme is supposed to be about the hidden message the author wanted to convey and there are usually many different messages hidden depending on how different people perceive the story and plot summery is unfit for a paper like this because you never want to tell your readers what the book is about and ruin it for them and if the reader has already read the book they already know what has happened and don't want to hear about it again. A different mistake a lot of people made in their 5 part paragraph was saying things that they had not addressed in the topic sentence and vise versa. In the topic sentence people expect to get a general idea of what they will be reading about in the body of the paragraph and if this happens people become confused and lose respect for your paper.
As well as learning from others mistakes I also learned from my own. I know that no one can be perfect and I am no exception. I had trouble with embedding personally. When embedding was explained in class I thought that I had gotten it but after hearing how others embedded their quotes I understood that not only do you have to introduce your quote but before your quote begins there needs to be a direct introduction that leads right in to the quote so the paper flows nicely and smoothly. I also need to work on my vocabulary. I feel as though a very popular trend in the other peoples papers was having nicely placed high vocabulary words intertwined with neutral writing. Having this skills will keep your reader interested and become little mini hooks through out the paper. From reading these 5 part paragraphs i have learned some many things that will benefit my future in writing.
Love,
Amaya

The Imaginary Friends In The Closet
Dear Readers,
I am proud of all my writing, I feel that I have to be proud of it other wise I don't think I would be able to write with confidence anymore. Since I am proud of all my writing I take most pride of the story I wrote for the writing WASL in 4th grade. My story was about an evil teacher that had hidden all of the student's imaginary friends in the closet that she always kept closed. Until one day when the kids decided to open the closet. All the kids and their imaginary friends lived happily ever after.
I was very satisfied with this piece of writing because I put so much thought and effort into making it a great story. Even when I was in fourth grade I was so pleased I wanted to show it to my parents. It was the most serious and important assignment I think I had been given in my life at that point.
My story was also very fun to write. As I said in my first blog post I love to write fiction and I think that writing that story may have started my love of writing fiction. I thought that my story was so exciting to write because after I got the prompt it was just me and my pencil writing what ever story that I could come up with to match the prompt. I was proud because I made a great story out of my imagination.
Love,
Amaya

The Bean Trees
Dear Rdeaders,
For the past few weeks I have been reading The Bean Trees, even though I have not been reading it for very long I think that it is very captivating and always leaves me wanting more. Barbara Kingsolver's writing style is also vary nice in the way that it is witty and intelligent. She also has a wonderful vocabulary to describe things in great detail. There is one thing in The Bean Trees that I am not particularly liking, I don't see a very interesting plot unraveling in the book. Usually by almost half way there becomes an identifiable plot, but while I have read I have not seen one. I am slightly disappointed but believe that I will be seeing the plot soon.
I think that this book is very unique from other books because it has a unique setting, characters, etc. But I think that I would compare The Bean Trees to Wicked, I think that they are alike because of the narration. In both of these amazing books the narration switches from person to person. I personally like books that do this because I find it very interesting to see the story through a different set of eyes. I like to have more then one point of view shown to me. I like this format as a writer as well because it lets me experience different writing styles for different personalities.
The literary element that most interests me in this book is characters. I like being there in the book while characters are being built, placed, and sometimes changed. The impact a character in a story is immense and if there are no characters in a story then the story is not a story. Have you ever read a story with no characters in it? Of course not, because characters bring theme, plot, and life to a story. Characters in The Bean Trees are very important, just as in any other story, but the characters in this book are very unique. for instance Taylor is a young women from Kentucky that drove all the way to Arizona in a VW beetle with no windows. You don't see Taylor's character very often because she is very unique and amazing.
At this point in time my idea for the project is a movie. A movie sounds interesting and would challenge my technology and acting skills. I think it would be fun as well and open up my understanding of the story even more. I think it would open up my understanding because at this point I am only reading the book and getting one perspective. If I did a movie I would be seeing the book from the other side and BE the book.

My own little experience with To Kill A Mockingbird
Dear Readers,
When I first picked up To Kill A Mockingbird (which was before I even knew we had to read it for the summer assignment) I bored of it, VERY quickly. So I put it down. When I started reading it for the summer assignment I trudged through the first few pages and it started to get more interesting. by the second chapter I was hooked. The story was becoming much clearer to me and characters had been introduced. At that point I wanted to learn what their contribution to the story and what kind of characters they would turn out to be.
When I read this blog prompt the first thing that I thought of as my own theme and connection to this book was the unknown. I have always wondered what will happen in life and what will happen to me. Another idea that piggy backs on this is learning, and learning about all of the unknown things in my life. In To Kill A Mockingbird Scout learns many things, for instance how racist her town actually is and that not every body is like her and have the same values as her. I have learned so many things and have so much more to learn. I learned that school is not scary and that there are certain times to be serious and certain times to be joyful. But Just like Scout I have kept my free spirit and just added on knowledge.
Scout has also been through the unknown. She had no idea that the Tom Robinson case would effect her and her brothers life not only mentally, but physically as well. I still deal heavily with the unknown and am always wondering what will happen next. Scout isn't always as aware of the future as I am but she learned that it is a good thing to know what will be in the future or at least expect that something is bound to happen at some point.
Love,
Amaya

Who or What is my Arthur Radley?????
Dear Readers,
There are potentially many "Arthur Radley's" in my life but I feel as though the one that hits hardest is school. I have been going to school for over half of my life and will keep going for awhile, and have had many experiences with it. I have had made friends, played games, done homework and have/had some amazing teachers. But before I knew how fun and exciting school could be I was afraid of it.
Like most kids I was intimidated by school because I would be away from my parents for six hours a day with complete strangers. But once I walked in the door of my kindergarten class I saw that it wasn't as scary as I imagined. It was not scary because all kids were my age, a bright colorful tree all made of paper was set up against the wall and hanging across the ceiling, there were also lots of great games to play and a teacher who's smile could light up the room. Once I went to school I understood that it was not scary just as Scout had thought that Boo Radley was not scary once she had been in his shoes.
Ladies and gentlemen, that is my Arthur Radley.
Love, Amaya

Introduction
Dear Readers,
If you are going to read my blog you should expect it to be witty (at least I hope) and smart. If you keep reading my blog posts you will find out a lot about me just by my writing. First of all I love to write fiction, because I feel that it is a free expression of my self where I can write anything with my own rules. I also love to imagine and build characters, and see them unfold with out even realizing that they are becoming more. Another thing I love about fiction is that it is always different, every story has a new setting, new plot, new characters etc.. So every time I open a new book or write a new story I immerse my self in to that adventure.
I feel that english class is a way to express myself and while expressing myself I can also get ready for life by learning writing styles and tools. You need at least basic skills of writing because any career that you make a living from will need them. English class is also where people can connect with one another about literature and what it means and what is being said and other peoples opinions about it, and what different aspects are presented in that literature. But I think the over all meaning of English is to help you for the rest of your life in whatever you do.
If a stranger were to read my blog I would hope that they would not get bored of my writing, and read what I have to say about the different topics that I will be writing about. I also want my internet readers to see how my writing skill will progress through out the year. I would also like to show my readers a different view of the literature we discuss, and thoughts about it that I think are true. I also would like to express myself by my own opinions and not being afraid to share it.
English is very important for High School and Collage because it will be helpful for life. In High School English is required for all four years to get into college because colleges want you to know how to write well so that they can teach you what you want to do for the rest of your life, and after college you will almost certainly have a job that requires a least some writing. If you don't know how to write well then you wouldn't be able to get what you wanted done. Especially with your career you do not want to get it wrong and mess up.
As an English student entering Honors English I know that I have a lot to learn and I am very excited to learn it. I know that I may have trouble with some things but I will learn and get everything ironed out. I want to succeed in this class and will to that by trying my hardest and doing my best.
love,
Amay-Zing

If you don't know how to write well then you wouldn't be able to get what you wanted done. Especially with your career you do not want to get it wrong and mess up.
As an English student entering Honors English I know that I have a lot to learn and I am very excited to learn it. I know that I may have trouble with some things but I will learn and get everything ironed out. I want to succeed in this class and will to that by trying my hardest and doing my best.
love,
