General information
'We Real Cool' is a poem about 7 guys who hang out outside a billiard room and they do a lot of rebellious things. They present themselves as guys who play hooky, hang out late and party. But that also has consequences. It shows that you would also die at a younger age.

They will stay there for a long time and probably won't be leaving anytime soon. If something happens, they will not hold back their violence, they would just start hitting people with their fists and as hard as possible. They don't care at all.

The boys, on the contrary, like to do bad things and honor it. They drink a lot of alcohol themselves, but they dilute it so that it is a lot cheaper. So they have very little money.

They're making June a party and going to make it jazzy. They will probably also die faster because of how they live, because they live unhealthy and also bad lives.

The Charge of the Light Brigade, Assignment 2
Ik vind dat het een erg goed gedicht is, maar ook spannend. Ik vind het zelf spannend, omdat het gaat over een gevecht in een oorlog. Waarbij de twee partijen tegenover elkaar staan in een valei: 'Half a league, half a league, half a league onward, all in the valley of Death', dit laat zien dat er twee mensen tegen elkaar gevechten. In de tekst vertellen ze bijvoorbeeld: 'Cannon to right of them, cannon to left of them, cannon in front of them, Volleyed and thundered;

Stormed at with shot and shell' en hierbij zie je dat je door de spanning die er in het verhaal is je gewoon wilt gaan doorlezen en zeker omdat het een lang gedicht is, is dat ook best belangrijk. Bij dit citaat: '“Forward, the Light Brigade!

Charge for the guns!” he said. Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred', hierbij voelde het een beetje of je echt gewoon bijna in het verhaal zit en dat maakt het nog bijzonderder en spannender. Daarom vind ik het zelf ook wel echt een erg goed gedicht. Je bent eigenlijk tijdens het lezen aan het kijken via iemands z'n ogen die het hele gevecht meemaakt, dat maakt het ook leuk om te lezen. Ik denk dat het ook wel goed is voor de mensen dat dit gedicht is gemaakt. Zo weten ze ook hoe het er een beetje aan toe gaat en lezen ze ook hoe de mensen het beleven die er vechten. 'All the world wondered. Plunged in the battery-smoke, right through the line they broke; Cossack and Russian, reeled from the sabre stroke, shattered and sundered.', dit laat ook erg goed zien aan de mensen hoe het er dus aan toe gaat in de oorlog die er daar heerst. Je ziet ook dat de mensen erg dapper waren in de oorlog en mensen gingen er door dood. Ze hadden soms veel moed en werden gewoon gedood, dat lees je ook hier: 'While horse and hero fell. They that had fought so well, came through the jaws of Death, back from the mouth of hell, all that was left of them'. Het moraal van het gedicht is dat de oorlog erg is en dat dat gestopt moet worden, want er gaan veel mensen bij dood. In het gedicht staan ook nog meerdere vormen van beeldspraak een paar daarvan zijn: 'Into the jaws of Death, into the mouth of hell' en 'When can their glory fade'. Dit maakt het dus ook mooi om het gedicht te lezen. Ik vind het dus zelf een erg mooi gedicht, maar ook een spannend gedicht die goed de situatie verteld. Ook laat het de niet leuke dingen zien van de oorlog en dat is soms best wel verdrietig.
I think it is a very good poem, but also exciting. I find it exciting myself, because it is about a fight in a war. Where the two sides face each other in a valley: 'Half a league, half a league, half a league onward, all in the valley of Death', this shows that two people are fighting against each other. For example, in the text they say: 'Cannon to right of them, cannon to left of them, cannon in front of them, Volleyed and thundered; Stormed at with shot and shell' here you can see that because of the tension in the story you just want to continue reading and especially because it is a long poem, that is also quite important. With this quote: 'Forward, the Light Brigade! Charge for the guns!” he said. Into the Valley of Death Rode the six hundred', here it felt a bit like you're really just almost in the story and that makes it even more special and exciting. That's why I think it's a really good poem myself. You are actually looking through someone's eyes while reading the whole fight, that also makes it fun to read. I think it is also good for the people, that this poem was made. This way they also know how things are going there and they also read how the people who fight there experience it. 'All the world wonders. Plunged in the battery-smoke, right through the line they broke; Cossack and Russian, reeled from the saber stroke, shattered and sundered.', this also shows people very well how things are going in the war that is going on there. You also see that the people were very brave in the war and people died because of it. Sometimes they had a lot of courage and were simply killed, you can also read that here: 'While horse and hero fell. They that had fought so well, came through the jaws of Death, back from the mouth of hell, all that was left of them'. The moral of the poem is that the war is bad and that it must be stopped, because many people die. The poem also contains several forms of imagery, a few of which are: 'Into the jaws of Death, into the mouth of hell' and 'When can their glory fade'. This also makes it nice to read the poem. So I think it's a very beautiful poem myself, but also an exciting poem that tells the situation well. It also shows the unpleasant things about the war and that is sometimes quite sad.

Idea 61, Assignment 2
I chose the song 'Voorbij' by Marco Borsato. In this song he talks about a divorce in an old relationship he had. Marco still thinks about her and she actually misses her very much and so he hopes that the woman will come back after all. In Michael Drayton's poem it is also about a divorce, where he never wants to see his (old) lover again. But afterwards he still tries to save the love between him and the woman.
Quote 1
Song: 'I would be free

But I'm not'

Poem: 'That thus so cleanly I myself can free'

This seems a bit contradictory, but in the poem he later finds himself not so free anymore and he still wants a relationship with her again.

Quote 2
Song: 'I always take you'
Poem: 'That we retain one jot former love'

The poem actually also tells, just like the song, that he would not forget her and that she would always take him in his thoughts.

Quote 3
Song: 'But not over yet'
Poem: 'From death to life might'st him yet recover'

Because you can still repair it, the relationship is not over yet. They could have another relationship and then he will be recovered.

'That floats on high o'er vales and hills'
I chose this because while reading I read about 'vales and hills' and I immediately got a picture of it in my head. That's why I chose this.

Personification: The hills silently silent in the landscape
