"Spring post" 1: Music As Literature

 I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF " MUSIC AS LITERATURE" BUT THIS SONG IS DEEP AND THE WORDS AND WHAT HE MUST OF FELT IS UNEXPLAINABLE.

 1) I personally do consider music like literature because most of the songs say a story you just add beat to it. ALOT of people always listen to music just because the beat is good but that's not the only reason why you should just listen to the beat a bigger part of the song is the lyrics.

2)

3)What is the difference between a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and a symphony........

 

I think all of these things above have literature

A novel is a story....... a very long one " literature"

A poem is like a short story with words that rhyme and when you read it all together its a flow.

A rap, well most of the time is a story you just a beat and makes a song

song, opera, and a symphony all have some type of literature all just in different ways.

BIG QUESTION

What would we do if all of a sudden technology just disappeared?

The medium is the message

Reading The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow was very difficult because it has very big old fashioned vocabulary. The story is super long and boring. It didn't really seem to catch my eye.
When I watched a little of the video it was different because I can actually pay attention and picture it in my head. It was so easy to doze off in the story but the clip was suspenseful and it was actually a little freaky.
I rather watch the movie of something than read it. Since that story didn't catch my eye I was not intrested to read it.

A Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe

    To me this poem sounds like he is in love but he is too attached and maybe he has never fallen in love like that and thinks its all a dream. Maybe he thinks this is all fake and he is just dreaming that he is in love because everything seems soo perfect for the first time. Happy ending are almost in every movie and in real life happy ending are almost never. When someone is really happy you can tell that they are happy but in this poem he seems confused, lost and and practically giving up on something that seems fake to him just like a dream.

"Reflections on Week 1"

1) I'm very shy when it comes to speaking in front of the class or anything that i have to speak out loud. I do have a computer and a cell phone so it will be easy to access my blog account. I do have some friends in Dr. Preston's class they can help me with things i don't understand.

2) When i was in second grade my teacher made us learn our multiplication tables by testing us every Thursday. If we completed our whole worksheet within the time she gave us with most of the answers correct she would give is raffle tickets, then on Friday she would raffle "cool" stuff. I learned my multiplication tables and i also learned that when you work hard and don't give up then you will get something in return.

3) This class seems so challenging for me because everything i have learned or have done has seemed so advanced, I'm scared and happy to be in this class. Dr. Preston talks in a way that makes me feel like he's speaking French or something i don't know. His vocabulary is something i don't hear or use everyday. I would love to expand my vocabulary, when ever he talks it makes me feel dumb. I'm excited to see what happens in the future.

       This first week of school was very stressful, it felt like i had a lot of work to do. For my English class i had to memorizes a poem witch was challenging for me to learn because it had words that i don't use in a regular bases so i had difficulties remembering them. I get very nervous to go to my English class everyday. It's something different but i like how we don't do things out of books we do everything online. I really love how we do everything online because i feel like i am really good with computers. The one thing that made me a little scared was the fact that we had to learn a poem in the first week of school and i cant imagine what we are going to be doing in the future. I am happy i am in this class because it is very different than another classes.
