To a stranger

In my opinion I think that the poet is written to or from a previous relationship. He might also be writing about an old friend...

He is letting out his emotions that express how he's feeling.

The line "slept with you, your body has become not yours

only nor left my body mine only" indicates that they had a sexual relationship. They were intimate.. 

Intimate to me means being able to trust someone with everything.. Meaning he and she, or maybe he and he, we very close.

The statement " you grew up with me"

Infers that they have been childhood friends. Making the trust and connections more personal. 

When we were discussing the poem in class we made the assumption that then man in the poem might me homosexual. 

In the time that this was written homosexuality was not accepted by society and was looked upon a sin. 

The man maybe hid is feelings and thoughts within the poem. Him explaining this to us might have been a way to release all this anger from not being accepted.

How is Your Heart

I think that the poet should want more.he has been through so much making him a stronger and intelligent person, but then again he shouldn't be used to the life he has. 

The poet should try and build his life up to be more happier and less depressed. He needs to get his life in check and plan for the future and not the moment.

Relationship wise, my opinion is the same. Why wouldn't want to spend my days sleeping with "whores" and living in hour to hour motel rooms. I would want more in life.

He shouldn't be content and like the way he's living. He has such a hard life. He should strive and aim to fix his life up and stop depending on the whores to help him out.

The poet doesn't get much support from either of his parents. We were able to find out about his past. His dad was abusive to both his more and him. 

The abuse has effected him in such a way that cannot be fixed. He is mentally beaten. Thats maybe why he is living the life he is.

Interim report

Parent: what is you percentage?

Me: Well we as a class have decided that we would like to expand our knowledge without the pressure of percentages. Obviously in the end I will get a mark but for now we have stopped being so narrow minded.

So far in English 10 I feel pretty confident in my work. I am happy with what I hand in. I would like to think that I'm on the right track to passing with a good mark!

My tattoo

My tattoo is of the 4 main characters of Peter Pan. Micheal, John and Wendy darling, followed by Peter Pan himself. The meaning of the tattoo is to represent people that have played a big role on making who I am to day. Peter being my older cousin jaiya. She is practically my sister. Jaiya ,much like Peter Pan, is a leader, stubborn,  and a great mentor. She has got me through alot and I honestly have no idea what I would do without her. Next is Wendy. She reminds me alot of my mother. They are both adventure takers. My mom is also saying what if... Just like Wendy. John reminds me of my dad. My dads a really smart person. He's the one I go to for help with homework. John is the voice of reason, much like my dad. He stops me from doing anything that I will regret. Finally me a.k.a Michael. Me and Michael are both very naive. I'm the one that looks up to them 3. I'm inspired by each of them. I would get the tattoo on my ankle, just so it wasn't so noticeable am so grateful to have jaiya, and my parents. I couldn't ask for a better support System. 

Extended metaphor

My extended metaphor was from the movie Frozen.The whole movie was about Elsa finding herself and being able to over come her fears no matter how bad they seemed. Else was able to move on from her fear of letting people find out who she really was. She had a very supportive sister along with a supportive town. They were able to cope with the fact that their queen had magical freezing powers. We all have fears whether or not we want to admit it. We can all relate to Elsa because at times she feels like an outside. Most of us know how it feels to be different and not fit in, but we need to remember that we're not alone. After you accept who you are no one can tell you who to be or what to do. 

Myers-Briggs Personality test

After doing the Myers-Briggs personality test I was given the letters EN FP the advocate.The sentence "enthusiastic people typical very bright and full of potential" sums up my personality. I am usually  almost always smiling. I am not much of a leader in the sense that I don't have enough confidence to lead anyone. My friends mean the world as they have been through a lot with me. I feel extremely Honored to be the same four letters of Robin Williams. He was and still is my favorite childhood actor/ comedian. None of the jobs interest me. Since I was about 3 I've always dreamed  of being a veterinarian. All in all the test was fairly accurate with the exceptions of a few minor details.
