Journal Entry 7: Hounding

Seeing the last sentence of your journal prompt, i bet we will have to write a poem like that, just not sure if it is for pleasure, journal or a actual graded assignment. To be honest, i have no idea what the poem is. I missed the front part of what you were talking about the journal prompt and i forgot to bring back my book to look at the poem. To hound is to chase, if the world is chasing me, that would be pretty scary. I feel as if the poem title is hinting that this guy have some problems going through his mind now, and his not so stable. I remember there's this syndrome that the person would be scared of the world and the things that his not familiar with. The poem title seems to feel that way. Since i haven't read the poem, i really don't know. However, if i were to link the poem back into the current chapter we have right now, it might have somehting to do with the Puritan beliefs again. The belief that God owns everything. The person doesn't own anything and God and decide what things stay and not stay. If what i suspect is true, then it might be that the guy wishes to have no belongings of Earth. He just longs for a spot in heaven. Again, i really didn't read the poem so i really don't have any idea what this might actually be about.
