Spring Break Extra Credit by Joseph Domingo https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp Made with big dreams en-us 2017-04-13 02:12:19 UTC 2026-03-06 18:43:49 UTC hello@padlet.com "The Dash" by Linda Ellis hanuldomingo https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp/wish/166188758 I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend

He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end

He noted that first came her date of her birth
And spoke the following date with tears,

But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years

For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth.

And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not how much we own;
The cars, the house, the cash,

What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard.
Are there things you’d like to change?

For you never know how much time is left,
That can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough
To consider what’s true and real

And always try to understand
The way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more

And love the people in our lives
Like we’ve never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile

Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.

So, when your eulogy is being read
With your life’s actions to rehash

Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?]]> 2017-04-13 02:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp/wish/166188758 Explication of Poem hanuldomingo https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp/wish/166189042 "The Dash" explains that one's life can be only so long and that the person must live with as much experience as possible. Otherwise, if that were not to occur then life wouldn't be good to look at from others perspective as well as him/herself. The Dash is meant to be something that not only your experiences but with others as well. Pros and cons can go along with your dash that includes sociological and psychological terms that well affects how one is to another.]]> 2017-04-13 02:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp/wish/166189042 Song pairing with poem hanuldomingo https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp/wish/166189131 The tone of the song goes along well it what the lyrics explain. It is very gentle so it affects how one should actually see life as a whole. It seems in the video also its placed at a very religious song. It would depend also on the persons perspective if it is seen as that in all cases.If at all most would say it'd be placed as religious.]]> 2017-04-13 02:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp/wish/166189131 "I Hear America Singing" by Walt Whitman hanuldomingo https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp/wish/166191241 I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,

Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong,

The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,

The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work,

The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck,

The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands,

The wood-cutter’s song, the ploughboy’s on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at
sundown,

The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing,

Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else,

The day what belongs to the day—at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,

Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs

In historical terms of this author loves America and that he would support his country in quite some ways. He described America at the time when it became a powerhouse type of country. Before World War 1 was when Whitman described America in this poem. It would also make sense because it doesn't describe war but in ways of a peaceful lifestyle.]]> 2017-04-13 02:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp/wish/166191326 Song Pairing with poem hanuldomingo https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp/wish/166193031 This mass chorus represents a voice of how America was great at the time before World War 1. In one's opinion may believe that this is what the author would like to represent along with this poem due to reasons of how the voice performs. What that means is that it fits nicely of how the country processes as a whole. As Americans, you take pride in your own heart for the country being lived in. This chorus takes great emphasis into voicing the lips of America in an absolute way.]]> 2017-04-13 03:20:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp/wish/166193031 "How Do I Love Thee?" (Sonnet 43) Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1806 - 1861 hanuldomingo https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp/wish/166195008 How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of being and ideal grace.

I love thee to the level of every day’s

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for right;

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.

The poet says that the love which she feels for her beauty is so strong that it fills every pore of her soul. The adoration which Elizabeth carries in her heart is a part of her existence which is why when she tries to map the out of sight boundaries of her soul and the world around her, she realizes that her love for her beloved extends just as far. This means that her affection defines her existence and the world around in ways which is not apparent to the mortal sight. Only the poet feels the power of that true love which envelops her. After adding this hint of divinity to her poem the poet transcends to a more down to earth description of her love. She says that her lover is her everyday need. ]]> 2017-04-13 03:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp/wish/166195201 "How Do I Love Thee" Song relation hanuldomingo https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp/wish/166195896 Using all women is a nice touch of interpretation of how the poem would act. As you listen, it describes in very similar ways how the poet's love is so strong toward her lover being the soulmate. Nice skipping type of rhythm which is fitting for the song and the poem. The song in ways may be different wording but it doesn't change the overall aspect in which it talks of overwhelming love. Overall a nice tune while reading the poem as well]]> 2017-04-13 04:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp/wish/166195896 Joseph Domingo hanuldomingo https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp/wish/166196599 4/12/17 Period 5]]> 2017-04-13 04:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hanuldomingo/p95osusj9wvp/wish/166196599
