sorry, i got no idea what to talk about in this journal. It seems that all of the things that we have been takling about for these past few days basically fill this journal up. What are the elements of a poem? the usual things, rhythm, rhyme, aliitertion, assonance, meter, vowel sounds and all that. Everything that make the whole poem rhyme or sounds good in the end is being characterize as a poem. At least that s what i think.
No matter what happnes, they always have some sorta conneciton with each other that makes up something. That's what separates poems and basic stories.
Modern songs with lyrics that are like poems have the songs and instrumental music at the back as the beat of the poem. With the songs at the back, it reinforces the beat and lyrics that its intended to display and make it into a even better poem.

Journal 41: American Poetry Today
poetry today in american life lies only in textbookds, and i believe songs. If you pay close attention or even maybe search up the meaning or full lyrics of a song, you'll find it pretty interesting and the words rather beautiful. The lyrics inside songs, even rap songs contains rhymes, and rhytems. The lyrics itself tells a story with except, not so pretty words. The beat of the music creates the tempo for the lyrics to become a poem.
Lyrics in songs such as my favorite artist, as i repeat his bascially like a freaking artist. God's personal DJ, Nujabes
his songs and lyrics is like a free verse poem with beautiful description of the magical land called music.
personal favorite song with the best lyrics - luv sic part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKlkM3Qu5BM the song lyrics are literally like a beautiful paiting in my mind. Gorgeous, absolutely goegous
and also luvc sic part 4, really nice and chill song to listen to when you go to sleep. You definitely have to go check it out. the lyrics, the tempo, and almost everything a fine crafted poem needs is inside. All that is left is the boring academic point of view that is not needed and is not in there.

Journal 40: Whitman and Dickinson
The idea that Whitman and Dickenson are trying to express are controversial. Whitman wanted to tell the world that his writings and ideas are of everywhere. He is like the representation of the average human being walking in the street. If you look under their shoe soles, its dirt, and dirt is like, everywhere so there you go. Whitman is saying that his ideas are something that is in your everyday life. It is not saying something glorious or pretty, its the stuff that we see everyday, but failed to describe it.
Dickenson expresses the opposite ideas. She's quite gloomy in her writing and so is the quote. She's trying to say that her writing is a message to the world. It's trying to either teach the world a lesson, or trying to express on a specific thought. While the idea is being presented, the world listens in silence. They do not respond to the writings of Dickenson (pretty much because she didnt publish it out, no duh) Her words are not something expressed in everyday life and we see sround us. Its something personal that she wanted to tell the people.
My message, that if im to write a poem right now might be freedom. i don't have much of a personal declaration to make with words, since im not a writer. My ideas will be expressing the freedom of speech. The decensoring of things. Why? because this is who i am. My personal statement is something of freedom and that i will express whatever i want to say and believe without fear.

Journal 39: Young Again?
Honestly, i dont think one can just simply change if they regret something. If they just regret it, they won't change. It has to come to something so significant that they would go like WOW i shouldn't have done that. A full out reckoning have to happen for them to change.
A personal example of some thing such as giving a second chance. I was actually thinking about this question over the break. Here's what happened, i had bad stomach and i can't eat for 2 days. I was freaking starving, all the stuff that i once thought as average looked sooooo good to me and how i wish i could just bite my teeth in to it. I was thinking i will try all the stuff around my house once i feel well again.
Suddenly, my stomach was feeling better. I could eat all the stuff the stuff that i once wanted and dreamed of during that time.
THEN BAM, none of that occured to me again of going around trying those food. I was like, blah, the stuff i use to eat are definitely better than the other stuffs. So then, i was back eating things like burger king again and doing the same thing before i was sick.
You see, no difference was made and everything remained the same. Simply giving a second chance will not change anyone. You have to have something so significant and life changing so that they will change forever.

Journal 38: Winter Holiday
Joy joy joy, my winter holiday was a freaking blast man. throughout the whole winter holiday, i pretty much expierenced everything. I saw all the mafias of Taiwan all together in a wedding of my uncle. I saw super models and stars in Taiwan at the wedding too.
I had so many dinner with rich people and i ate all the stuff that i have never tasted in my life before, and probably won't taste it again not for another few years.
What's more, is the trip to Japan. I can do freaking tricks up and down slopes. I have master the sow terrain in all of the black lines and enjoyed the full joy of gliding through the soft snow and lying in it. The beautiful view that i expierence when my snowboard cut through snow that is as high as to my knees and jump out into the open from the forests.
Then, i came back for a relaxing 4 days of sleep to recover from snowboarding from 9AM all the way till 9PM.
This is one of the best winter break i have ever had. Winter breaks aren't usually this fun, but this year's weekend and dinner and Japan just blew my mind.

Journal 37: Civil Disobedience
when is it good to disobey the law and authority? when it violates your BASIC rights and when it has something against your personal dogma. Basically, what im doing now is disobeying the authority that is pressuring me right now. I was to be kicked out of school for a false imformation on a community site. I had to clarify myself completely to be trusted again in the facility of the authority and pretty much i believe closely watched and monitor of what my actions are.
We live in a pretty open society in Taiwan. Look at China, they have a blocked internet, their lives are watched, any actions against the communist country is being further punished and beat. One recently known artist named Ai wei wei was the guy who openly disobey and rebel against the Chinese government with his actions.
Well, the soceity im in, or more like the facility im in right now is a blocked a closed up place. My actions was watched over outside of the authority's restriction areas and i was watched closely. It seems like my only option in disobeying the facility and authority now im in is to keep quiet and under the radar. When im free, i will speak nothing about this and pray for the other victims that have not yet been release from the terror of the surveillance camera that we once face.

Journal 36: Red Badge Film
What i find different about the movie and the book is probably nothing. I find the major events and the parts im using for my essay is pretty much all shown in the movie. starting from the part where Henry was scared about the whole war and how the guy ran in and told everyone about the marching. Seems like all the details about the book was included in the book and it was pretty well carried out.
I didnt fall asleep at the start and middle of the film, but in the end since no one was watching i got bored too.
i fell asleep in the last part and woke up when Henry carried the flag and ran. What i find was a bit different is that the psychological part of of novel was much emphasized in the movie. When i was reading the book, alot of the stuff was what Henry's mind is thinking and racing about.
However, overall the movie was good, the sides about the psychological on Henry's mind was included and actions was allover the movie.
This isnt a movie that was made to demonstrate the mind of Henry, its more of a money production so that the guy could get even more famous and the director can make lots of money.
