Jackson, Wordsworth and Bolen Laura Salmeron

 

First of all , in “I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud by William Wordsworth”, the speaker used a simile when he was comparing his loneliness with a single cloud. The speaker walks alone and he suddenly he saw a crowd of Golden daffodils and he compares it with  the stars that shine and twinkle on the milky way. Near the daffodils, the waves are glinting on the bay. A poet couldn’t stop be happy because of a jocund company. He often lie son the coutch in a vacant or in pensive mood, the daffodils come back to the speaker’s imaginative memory and fills the speaker with joy as his mind dances with the daffodils. He personificated the Daffodils when he said “ Tossing their heads and springhty dance”.

Then, in “Quarantine by Eaven Bolen”, in the worst season of the year a man set out of his house with his wife because she was sick with fever. They were walking in the frigid temperaturas while the freezing stars arrived, in the next morning both had found dead. And her feet were held against his breastbone, so he had preished trying to provide heat to his sick and suffering wife. This poem is a love poem with his ultimate romantic gesture. The autor use dan hyperbole to talk about stars when he said “Until at nightfall under freezing stars they arrived.” And stars are supposed to be burning but he is trying to emphasize how could is outside.

 In the video, they talk about the body and its relationship, how also people process their body. Instead of appreciating what her body is . We live in a society where women are presented these versions od bodies and these thin women that we’re all supposed to achieve. Using poetry allow her to express erself better, she is able to have her words on the page and allos repersonalization.   

Her body just because she is singing it’s a physical activity and thinking about her breath, that really make her think about my body as a vessel.

I found really interesting this video, helped me to how she writes and how she sings and also how she conects her body with her soul.

Robert Walton, the Captain of a ship write and he is explaining the dangerous story of Victory. Victor was obsessed with the creation of a new creature, he forgot about his family. He doesn’t think about anything else than him, because he wasn’t able to think about the consequences that a monster could have on the other people. When he had already created the monster, he saw him and he decided to leave it there. And his punishment for being selfish is that the monster killed William (he admited it) and then they accused Justine of his death. Also, he would follow him until he asume his responsability because he feel rejected but he took a bad decision again, he promised him to create another female creature but the he realized that was a bad decision but he already promised the monster. Again, he didn’t take a good decision and he didn’t think before do the things. I think Mary Shelley tries to emphasize that we have to think first and then act, we have to think in the consequences t

What I learned this semester

This semester, I have learned more about the writing that we have read than I did in high school. In high school, we would mainly read, have a quiz, and then talk more about how it relates to culture and our society in Baltimore. I also found that I never had a real-life experience in high school that I needed to know something about what we read, but I did this semester. On November 17, right after our class finished, I went to dinner at Five and Dime, a restaurant about a mile or so away from campus. But this restaurant does trivia nights on Wednesday, and I went with two of my older brothers and my sister-in-law. The final question where we wagered all of our points was about “I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud” by William Wordsworth. The poem we talked about 2 hours before in class. But knowing the answer to that question allowed my team to get from the middle of the pack to third place. But the most interesting thing I learned in this class was a more profound analysis about Frankenstei

Frankestein first half

  Victor immediately turns against the creation he worked so hard for, that he spent all his time trying to cultivate and bring to life, and at first glance of his creation he completely dismisses it to be something evil. I think because of Victor's idyllic childhood and prestige his values of conventional beauty blind him. Which I find really shocking because he is supposed to be a man of science and reason, but because what he created is a bit scary he immediately abandons him? I think the themes in this book are very applicable to abusive relationships that can form between parent and child. Many parents think they want kids without truly knowing what it means, like how Victor became so set on the goal of creating the life he didn't think about what it would actually look like, and much like a narcissistic or neglectful parent, Victor completely disregards the needs of his creation and only fears for his own safety. Meanwhile, the undeserving child, or in this case Frankenst
