What I want most in the world

If there is one think I want in the world it is to become a cat. The reasons for this is that cats, unlike humans, live life the easy way and just sit there until they die with no problems, free food, and absolutely no responsibility. I wouldn't go in great lengths to reach this goal considering I've already lived most of my life being human. If I was a cat then not only would it be giving up, but it would be giving up and becoming a cat to leave the rest of your cat life remembering you gave up.

In The Lord of The Flies Ralph wanted to be saved and he went into the lengths of losing the lives of his friends and putting his own at risks as well as other great dangerous things. Tambu wanted to graduate school and she went through a load of bulimic friend stuff and arguing to be able to live her life and graduate. They are influencing people.

Poem for poetry

I ate broccoli today

I ate no broccoli today

there is not really a difference

you can take both as a sentence

and be unaffected either way

Their could be people in Pluto

straight from the city of Maputo

but the people are like kittens

acceptable until claws come out their mittens

This poem makes no sense so I'll clear things up

The silly salamanders salary is enough to buy salad

but salamanders are greedy and would rather take showers

the salamander doesn't care about eating healthy food

he's doesn't care about hygiene either, it's only in the mood.

So that is all I would like to say

thank you for the wonderful day

that was just a joke and this is a free verse saying i was lying.

I didn't do this one post so I'm making it up. Reading Response time.

It is totally quite possible that I have just started to actually read the Catcher in the Rye. Mostly because I did just start and I would like to say that I find it so incredibly obnoxious the way he words some things. Like he will say "That killed me" on like every page and if he was talking about eating icecream he would say "The ice cream was really good. It really was. The cashier gave me a crumby smile". As a matter of fact I really think that I just quoted a chapter I haven't gotten to yet because I'm about halfway through.

Beside him talking like that I don't know why but I actually sort of like the book. It's one of the most uneventful books ever written and I feel like the way it's said just makes it seem like a time well spent. Maybe it's because it's so full of detail. He will go on about how nail clippings on the floor bother him; "they really do" he would say. But I feel like it's told so slow that I lose track of whats going on. There was a point in the book where he spent about a whole page talking about how hard he punched someone and the next one he says he was bleeding and the next he says he was sorry and it's just unnecessarily long like dragon ball z. But I don't really know. It sort of adds to the story. It's better than other books I've read. The only thing I really don't get is why did he kill John Lennon?

Analyzing a Song

The song I picked was Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan because it hasn a large amount of rhymes and descriptions and it's also pretty school appropriate. The lyrics are here: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bob+dylan/subterranean+homesick+blues_20021303.html
The first thing that I want to compliment about the song is the title has good worse use because the writer makes it apparent that it's a bluesy subterranean song about being homesick. Or it could mean his home was subterranean, I'm not sure. The song itself is sung without many pauses or taking breathes. A whole verse in the song is an enjambment itself it seems. The way he uses this technique makes the song sounds like he's going on and on and on in a bouncy non stop rhythm. This makes the song sound less bluesy than a normal blues song would because it's sped up and has more energy in it.

There is a good bit of assonance in the song and it sort of changes by the verse. Thoughout the song as a whole; however, he seems to constantly makes the aye and eh sounds when using vowels by his dialect. Examples for aye and eh being; laid , paid, basement, pavement, says, Johnny (john-eh) medicine, way, friend, eleven, face, bed, anyway, say, they, May, DA, better, stay, away, plain, wheather, well, hang, sell, tell, jailed, bailed, fails, and a good bit more and he uses a few of these words multiple times like well and way. As far as consonance go he uses g and k an awful lot but I'm not gonna list a huge page of examples to spare time so just trust me with this one.

Enjambment also occurs in this song especially before the chorus (not necessarily a chorus because it changes wording each time). He will be talking about what's happening in a home and it suddenly goes to the "look out kid" line. It seems as when the song moves on that becomes more common and happens almost every 2 lines and the subject totally changes to another character. There is also only very few lines that don't have a rhyme. The one I especially have that sticks out the most is "The pump doesn't work, the scandals took the handles". Which is just a noticeable free verse in the entire song. Just saying.

I read all that stuff give me 40 extra points pls

I need the grade...... CONTINUING ON: Yea, so basically this old lady totally screwed up and now she will probably get sued for all of her money, way to go, but let's not stop there. This is one of those old lady moments like whenever you spill your coke in the mall and someone else has to clean it up because you're just an elderly person who can't properly function. Well guess what Jane, I know your secrets, I've thought about this too. Blame everything on something that is just a 'silly mistake' and try to look all sweet and innocent but it's not working.
I really think she could of at least changed it up a little bit, like I know she did for a few but the article says a lot of it is just straight up stolen. She shouldn't be corrected for it, she should write something herself. I honestly really don't care that much if you plagiarized just as long as you didn't sell large copies of the book. Just correct it as soon as you can and it will be all right. I mean.. she IS a nice old lady, give her a break.
