We had a great time because it had been a while since i've been to the beach because of the weather. We also had eaten one of my favorite things which is a funnel cake on the pier. The weather was great and me and my sister played in the water on the sandy beach. ]]> 2022-03-28 20:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/2093145/xpyrz3ztjxnykoy2/wish/2117946614 The Danger of a Single Story 2093145 https://padlet.com/2093145/xpyrz3ztjxnykoy2/wish/2160971538 My take on the ted talk video is to reject the "Single Story." The reason why is because just reading one book can make you think that every book is the same but obviously that is wrong. Stories can open up different characters, worlds, and places we would have never thought of which is insane because that sparks creativity in us. And that can lead to a "Paradise." She speaks about how she read British and American books and thought all books had characters with white skin and blue eyes. But then she started reading African stories which opened her eyes and that creativity sparked inside her. I think this is the perfect example of "Rejecting the single story" ]]> 2022-04-27 19:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/2093145/xpyrz3ztjxnykoy2/wish/2160971538 Literary Terms Packet Vid #1 2093145 https://padlet.com/2093145/xpyrz3ztjxnykoy2/wish/2173659267 2022-05-07 05:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/2093145/xpyrz3ztjxnykoy2/wish/2173659267 Literary Terms Packet Vid #2 2093145 https://padlet.com/2093145/xpyrz3ztjxnykoy2/wish/2173660709 Sorry about the second video 😅]]> 2022-05-07 05:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/2093145/xpyrz3ztjxnykoy2/wish/2173660709 My Favorite Poem Post 1 2093145 https://padlet.com/2093145/xpyrz3ztjxnykoy2/wish/2175096748 Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

-Robert Frost

Sonnet 2: When Winters Shall Besiege thy Brow

When forty winters shall besiege thy brow,
And dig deep trenches in thy beauty’s field,
Thy youth’s proud livery, so gazed on now,
Will be a tatter’d weed, of small worth held:
Then being ask’d where all thy beauty lies,
Where all the treasure of thy lusty days,
To say, within thine own deep-sunken eyes,
Were an all-eating shame and thriftless praise.
How much more praise deserved thy beauty’s use,
If thou couldst answer ‘This fair child of mine
Shall sum my count and make my old excuse,’
Proving his beauty by succession thine!
This were to be new made when thou art old,
And see thy blood warm when thou feel’st it cold.

When forty winters have attacked your brow and wrinkled your beautiful skin, the pride and impressiveness of your youth, so much admired by everyone now, will have become a worthless, tattered weed. Then, when you are asked where your beauty’s gone and what’s happened to all the treasures you had during your youth, you will have to say only within your own eyes, now sunk deep in their sockets, where there is only a shameful confession of greed and self-obsession. How much more praise you would have deserved if you could have answered, ‘This beautiful child of mine shall give an account of my life and show that I made no misuse of my time on earth,’ proving that his beauty, because he is your son, was once yours! This child would be new-made when you are old and you would see your own blood warm when you are cold.

My Explanation/Take:
Basically what he is saying is going to besiege him is age, or aging to be specific. The poems means that you should bore a child and he should protect himself before time's destruction which is aging. He also means that boring a child is also important because that continues one's legacy against time and continuing beauty as well. He addresses the "Fair Youth" and tells them to protect themselves from the "besiege." Some of the themes that he creates in the poem are old age, winter, and obsession. Shakespeare uses this as a child proving one's worth.
