Romanticism

When I took a walk, I could smell the fresh cut grass aroung my neighborhood. I closed my eyes for a while and could hear a dog barking and a car drive by me. Im sure the car was thinking I was a nut job for standing there, but I never knew how much I took for granted. When people say, if you loose a sense, your other senses take over. That is very true. If i didnt have my eyes closed, I would have never smelled the dog poop next to me. While I was walking with my eyes OPEN, i never noticed that I could walk under all the branches in my neighborhood. Some of the perks of being short finally came out when i was looking for little details.

Romanticism, from what I thought, had to do with love and relationships and all that goo go gaga stuff. Little did I know, it had to do with the Roman Era, and around the time of the French Revolution. I also had no idea that Romanticim was incorporated in the Star Wars soundtrack. I didnt know that Romanticism also had to do with Gothic Romance either. What i wrote in my notes, didnt really have to do with this stuff. Like I said, /i thought it was more about Love than Historic events

Dream Within a Dream

Since i didnt do this for homework last night. I decided to do it now. After thinking about our class discussion, i would have to agree with Miyah, and say that it could possibly be about a breakup of somesort. Or even , like you said, a separation of some sort. But with anything in life, there is always a greater meaning if we think about anything for a while. When he talks about the grains of sand slipping through his fingers, hes talking about the fact that he has to let whatever he is dwelling on, go. With a breakup or boarding school, you have to let the anger or depression go, or else he will go crazy

After today's discussion, I really do want to be able to get text messages to my phone everytime you post on the blog. During class we had talked about being able to recieve a text everytime you post something, or possibly comment on your blog. I think that would be an awesome idea, becasue that would make us be more involved and catch all the extra credit posts. That is just my opinion on the subject, but I know I am not the only one that feels this way. Most of my classmates in 1st period feel the same way i do.
