How Unpoetic

I think that when i get out of the high school, that i will be working hard. I am not 100% sure on what i want to do but obiviously something i am good at. I am going to normandale for 2 years to my generals out of the way. After that i want to go to The U of M and go to business school, I have thought about owning my own business and that seems to be the most appealing thing for me to do when I am older. I have thought about going to Chef school because i love to cook. It would be very nice to work in a kitchen but i am not sure if i could handle the stress of being behind the scenes in a kitchen. I am excited to get away from high school there are alot of things that I have grown tiresom of, I will be happy to be on my own, doing my own thing. I am not sure if i am going to be successful, but i am going to do all of what i can do to become successful, and live a comfortable life. I have no desire to be rich, it would be nice, but i ideally would like to live out in the country and live off the land, i like being self suficient.

Poetry Critique

Cease to resist, giving my goodbye
Drive my car into the ocean
Youll think Im dead, but I sail away
On a wave of mutilation
A wave
Wave

Ive kissed mermaids, rode the el nino
Walked the sand with the crustaceans
Could find my way to mariana
On a wave of mutilation,
Wave of mutilation
Wave of mutilation
Wave

1. Done
2. I choose this song because it is about El Nino, and the changing weather patterns on Earth. I like the songs journey how it builds to a sort of rock theme, and resolves with a calming repition.
3. The title of the song is Wave of Mutilation and it is tricky, because with out hearing the song, you would assume it is about a crime spree, but it is about a issue that has scientific backing. It is fitting because El Nino, dumps water on the west coast and diverets storms from the midwest to the south. The title is well suited because El nino can sometimes be compared to a small hurricane with it's high winds and blowing rain.
4. The writer of this song, The Pixies, use imagery when describing the beaches sand.
There is atleast one Hyperbole in the song, when the writer of the song, says "Drive my car into the ocean." The writer is obivously not going to drive his car into the ocean and uses an exaggeration to illistrate his point.
5. I would say that the tone of the song is passive agressive, because the tone is not angry but it has an undertone of aggressiveness. Thats why I catorgarize this as Passive Aggressive.

Writing Territories

2. I like writing in general, sometimes I see it as a bit tedious. The last book I read was "Killing Pablo." I found the book very interesting because it is a true story, I would say if i were to read another book it would have to be a novel, i am easily confused with play scripts. I enjoy reading the newspaper and magazines more than dedicating myself to a whole novel.
-I enjoyed writing a play but I would like to write like a short story or almost a sitcom, like a T.V. show. I do not write anything outside of school. I am intrigued by a true story anything that involves crime intrests me, like the TV show Cops for example.
3. Heidi Klum & Dahli Lama
- One day in India, an old man was being followed by hundreds chanting his holynesses name. The sun was beating down, and the town was radiating the heat from the sun, all of a sudden the old man started to speak to the people, and immediatley they stop talking, as if a lull had taken over them. The old man addressed himself and the Dahli Lama, and he was choosen for this position. He said he was full of wisdom, how to get rich if you were poor, or to get into heaven if you were already rich. In order to have the Dahli Lama's attention you have to pay him handsomely; no one in the village could afford his service, so the holyness left. The next month the model Heidi Klum came and said she needed help because she was stranded. The Village was unwilling because they said they needed money in order to do anything, so Heidi and her entourage left and found the nearest village where they were more than happy to help the beautiful model and her friends. To repay the village that she felt indebted too, she built them a new school for the children. Now that village is the wealthest in India.
