Post22: Song lyrics in E.E Cummings Poem

When I read this poem by E.E Cummings the reaction I got from it was that in someway it was mocking of conventional beliefs and how the society not only look at things but accept things as well. "thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry by jingo by gee by gosh by gum why talk of beauty what could be more heroic that the happy dead" from this statement Cumming's is saying that the United State of America's "Sons" obtain everything they happen to tell us to be proud of sadly through the act of violence and nothing can be more "heroic" which is stated in a very smart, yet sarcastic form. A song that holds irony of this particular poem would be ":Take me to church" by Hozier. When I first heard this song, it made me think of me somewhat. He said,"My lover's got humor, She's the giggle at a funeral, Know's everybody disapproval, I should've worshiped her sooner".  In this song it;s talking about how according to society her laughing at a funeral isn't something you should do out of respect.

Post26: Comparing Colleagues Post About Modern Women

When I was doing this post I decided to look at Demarshun for my male and for my female I chose Dainty. When reading Demarshun post his view on women was " the modern day woman in majority of households is the head of that household. I remember  there was a time, when the "man of the house" made decisions and those decisions was the law of that house". whereas, when reading Dainty post she feels as if  , "most women play the role of both wife and mother, but also as a contributing and equal member of the household and society". When reading each of these post they both shared a similar thought in regards to women having more say so, then  back in the day.

Post 2: Favorite Movie

When it comes to movies I rarely look at those. Although, I don't look at movies as much I do recall watching a movie entitled "Frozen", with my little cousin. This movie had tons of figurative language throughout it. There were similes throughout the entire movie. One of them that stuck out to me was when she used the wind to compare to her emotions. "The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside." The meaning of this particular figurative language was to express her emotions that she was having at the moment which were going crazy like the wind. Another form of figurative language that was used in this movie was metaphors. "She is cold", although she's comparing two things to indicate that she's cold, she's not using the words "like or as". These are just two to the figurative languages presented in this movie, with there literal meaning although there more.

Post 9: What Symbolizes You?

This post is actually one of my favorite ones thus far. When reading what this post was supposed to be about I didn't have any problem thinking about what item to choose. The item that I've chosen to elaborate on, because it symbolizes me well is; my tattoo on my wrist. On my left wrist I have a tattoo that says " Queen ". From the day I've gotten this tattoo I've thought of it as more than just a "tattoo". It symbolizes that I'm a " QUEEN and, whenever I feel myself settling for less I look down on my wrist, and I see those five letters and it makes me remember that...I'm a QUEEN and not to ever settle for anything less than what I expect or, know that I'm worthy of and to never allow anyone to tell me different.
