1 post by Wednesday about a metaphor in a song lyric.

The song I chose was Waterfalls by TLC. The metaphor that was found in the song was
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to
I know that you’re gonna have it your way or nothing at all."

"Don’t go chasing waterfalls

This song lyric is comparing lakes waterfalls and rivers to emotional feelings. It was a metaphor warning us not to go chasing things that are beautiful, like waterfalls, but might actually hurt you.

1 post by Wednesday about why images can mean so many different things. Use a quote from a poem and from a song you like.

Images can mean a plethora of things depending on the viewers understanding. Imagery appeals to the five senses. The poem "Heat" by H.D uses the imagery of touch. In the poem "Heat" the author says "fruit cannot fall into heat", and "O wind, rend open the heat". I understand this image as heat being a feeling of touch. Also, the elements of nature are being personified.



One of my favorite song is The break up song by Wale. The lyrics "See, breaking up is hard to move along is even harder It's over she got colder now can't locate where her heart is" are my favorite because when Wale says 'It's over she got colder now can't locate where her heart is" that is a image of how breakups can go south and your heart gets cold which is the sense of touch.  

1 post by Wednesday about the theme of your favorite poem or song lyric.

The poem "The Rose That Grew From Concrete" by Tupac Shakur is about having ambitions goals and reaching them despite the circumstances and conflicts we are faced. Tupac uses symbolism to disguise himself as the rose and the ghetto as the concrete. The message sent is that it is very burdensome to survive the hard life in the ghetto and make something of yourself.

Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.

theme of your life so far.

I think the theme of my life so far is still being written, how does anyone know the theme of there life, if they are still living? God created the heavens, earths, angels, humans, beasts and etc. Understanding creation the animals all have purpose even the plants and the angels; however, the complexity of humans some they don't understand why they here and purpose of creation. Being that I'm still a living vessel the theme of my life so far would be finding my true purpose for living and understand myself as creation of the most high.

Theme of your favorite movie.

One of  my favorite movies has to be "Paid in Full". A key theme to the movie is do not cross your friend no matter how rich y'all become in the long run. For all the money in the world you do not turn your back on the people, who help you when you did not have anything.

1 post by Saturday about two colleagues' symbols.

Ryan Phillips symbols Something that we wear  everyday and what does it symbolize. Something that I wear almost everyday is Nike. Nike is an athletic brand and they make stuff from jackets, shirts, cloths, shoes and even book bags. 


Akeryah's synbols 
For about the months I'd sometimes always wear a U.S Army hat that my boyfriend gave to me before I left for school and before he left for basic training. Now I have many army bears and jackets from him to have something to remember when he's gone and now will be in Korea for two years.

Something you often wear or carry and what it symbolizes.

Something that I wear or carry is my moneybag chain around my neck. My favorite piece in the game of monopoly is the moneybag. The moneybag chain I wear is to symbolizes me grinding everyday to get to the riches. To keep stacking my funds and never folding. The moneybag chain I wear is to symbolize every time I make investments with money. I should take the course with less opportunity costs and financial loses.
