Hymn



This song is significant to me because it reminds me of a church event that I went to that changed my relationship with God. It was a church camp in the summer and its title was "Illuminate '08". I really liked the camp and the messages they were giving. Two of the major goals I got from the camp was to "ignite" my relationship with God and be a light to others for God. So when I heard this song, it seemed to fit perfectly with the events that had occurred in my life.

"A Model Proposal" Response

When I first started the reading, I knew that it was going to be a satire. So when he first mentioned about how the people were poor and starving, I thought that seemed pretty normal. Then Swift went on about eating children to solve the problem. I am so glad I knew this was a satire or it would have been pretty scary reading this. I thought that if that ever got legalized, then everything would get extremly messed up. The whole idea of a family only keeping their kids alive to sell or eat later was kind of scary and funny....in a creepy, freaked-out way. The way he proposed it made it seem funny. He wrote making it all seem so serious, but I was thinking that, "Woah, you must be one-hundred percent crazy for thinking that

....and then my time ran out.

I'm Not Over by Carolina Liar

What a waste of time, the thought crossed my mind

But I never missed a beat
Can’t explain the who or what I was
Trying to believe
What would you do?
What would you do?
Do you know?
I once had a grip on everything
It feels better to let go

I’m not over
I’m not over you just yet
Cannot hide it
You’re not that easy to forget
I’m not over

Never took the chance, could’ve jump the fence
I was scared of my own two feet
Couldn’t cross the line, it was black and white
No contrast to be seen
What would you do?
What would you do?
Do you know?
Was it all a joke, never had control
I’m not better on my own

I’m not over
I’m not over you just yet
Cannot hide it
You’re not that easy to forget
I’m not over

What a waste of time
The thought crossed my mind
Can’t explain this thing, or what I mean
I’m trying to let go

I’m not over
I’m not over you just yet
Cannot hide it
You’re not that easy to forget
I’m not over
I’m not over you just yet
Cannot hide it
You’re not that easy to forget
I’m not over
I’m not over

I think these lyrics give a similar feel to Steele's "No. 1 Tuesday, April 12, 1709" (Horton 396). The story that Steele made was about a man that saw a lady that whom he became infatuated with. The man can not get the woman out of his head and he tries long and hard to find her. I think this song resembles how the man could not get over the woman he saw. The song repeatedly says, "I'm not over you just yet. Cannot hide it you're not that easy to forget." This is like how the man in the story could not get the lady out of his head.

Dryden's Satire

1. According to the first paragraph of "Of Satire," what is the purpose of satire? Dryden's claims that satire is used to chastise and condemn wicked men. It is also used to steer those wicked men away from committing worse crimes and actions.

2. What does Dryden say in the second paragraph is the type of satire he admires most, and to what does he attribute one's ability to use this type of satire successfully? He admires fine raillery. He says that it takes a great amount of skill to make a man appear to be incompetent and foolish without resorting to the use of slanderous names and titles. Dryden makes it seem like its an art to be able to use fine raillery effectively.

3. What words does he use to show his disapproval of harsher forms of satire? He uses the word "easy" to make it seem like using harsh and obvious forms of satire requires no skill. Other words like "grossness" and "slovenly" also gives the reader the idea that using harsher satire takes no skill. Those two words also show how a little amount of thought is used and applied to harsh satire. By using the word, "opprobrious", Dryden makes harsher satire something the write should be ashamed of using. Calling someone outright stupid is not classy.

A One Day Diary

November 10, 2010 (day before Veteran's Day)

           

            I woke up at about 6:30 A.M. today. I soon left for school. I was very anxious to finish school since there was the college fair at Hawaiian Baptist Academy. When school ended I gave Jordan a ride to the gym; then my mom and I set out to HBA. We did not know that we were going to get there about an hour before it actually started. When we found that out we killed time by eating at Liliha Bakery. After eating we headed up to the school and I was surprised by the amount of Asians there. I met up with a lot of friends from school there. We looked at some colleges like Biola and Azusa; and we also had some awkwardly hilarious moments. The best part about visiting the Biola representatives was finding out that they both knew Kelly, and that there was a picture of her at the booth. I stayed for about an hour, then started to head back home wondering if we were going to do sushi-pong tomorrow.

Baxter and Rutherford Letter

Hello my friends, I hope that some of you have been keeping God centered in your life. I know that you are all believers, but please do not let laziness get the better of you. Stomp out all traces of apathy and laziness in your walk with God. If you keep starving yourselves from God, then you will not be able to grow strong in Him.You have all been Christians for a while, you can't keep falling back into your old habits, please endeavor in Christ. I know that you've heard this all before and that this warning may have fallen upon deaf ears. Regardless, I encourage you to truly ignite your fire with God so that you may become brighter beacons to your loved ones that desperately need Christ. I urge you all (myself included) to take this more seriously.

"On My First Son" Analysis

Analysis:

"On My First Son"

Farewell, thou child of my right hand, and joy; [Jonson says goodbye to his deceased son by saying, "Child of my right hand," which also means Benjamin.]

My sin was too much hope of thee my boy. [Jonson had high hopes for his beloved son that were taken away when he died.]

Seven years were lent thou wert lent to me, and I thee pay,
Exacted by thy fate on the just day. [Jonson only had seven year to spend with his son, but it was Benjamin's fate to die that young.]

O, could I lose all father for now! For why
Will man lament the state he should envy? [Jonson lost his sense of fatherhood with his son's death. He contemplates if he should really be sad now that his son is at peace.]

To have so soon 'scaped world's and flesh's rage,
And, if no other misery, yet age? [Benjamin would not have to suffer from some of the terrible things that are in the world such as disease, pain, and growing old.]

Rest in soft peace, and asked, say, "Here doth lie
Ben Jonson his best piece of poetry, [Even with all the other poetry Jonson has written, he thinks that the best thing he was responsible for was his son.]

For whose sake, henceforth, all his vows be such
As what he loves may never like too much." [Jonson will always cherish the memories and moments he had with his son.]

Literary worth:
This poem has literary worth for a couple of reasons. I think it has worth because it was made to honor his deceased son Benjamin. Poems that are based on real and personal events have a different "feel" to them. They add a new level of emotional input by the author. The poem also has small, but purposeful details that are included in the writing. An example would be when Jonson uses the phrase, "child of my right hand," which is the literal interpretation of Benjamin (Horton 303).

Explanation:
This poem is a dedication to Jonson's son. Jonson was showing the love he had for his son, and the

Personal:
This poem showed me how there are different ways to deal with sadness and the importance of honoring people. I do not think I would write out something like this poem; it would probably make me extremely sad. But I do believe it is important to honor loved ones who are no longer here. Whether they may be dead or in some other country, I still think it is important that we honor their memory in any way we can.
