Gridlock

Title: We'll Go No More A-Roving

Paraphrase: Love between people will be put to an end

Connotation: Uses romantic terms like "the heart be still as loving"  and "by the light of the moon"

Attitude: Slightly gloomy, since what was is now about to end

Shift: A shift occurs in the last stanza. The focus goes from ending love to the daylight coming out and ending the night

Title Revisited: It makes a better understanding of the paraphrase. It gives the implication of love or relationship ending

Theme: Life goes through changes, yet life goes on

One Last Playlist....

Well, tomorrow is the first day of May. So, that means the countdown to graduation begins. The school year finishing up, big senior events like Prom and Grad Night happening, people making college plans, or just staring at the clock and calendar waiting for that big day to happen. Whatever they're gonna be doing, that big day of walking on the stage on the football field is gonna be here before we even know it.

In honor of the big countdown to the big day, I have made one last new playlist (for people who look at my blog for the music player, which I hope is a few people) for this blog with graduation-themed, graduation-related, or just graduation-sounding songs. I hope that you enjoy, and make sure you blast this on the week of graduation.

It is also up on Spotify on my profile. If you have Spotify, just search my name and it will be there for listening pleasure.

Enjoy

The Seventh Reading

After reading "Hope" by Emily Dickinson. I suddenly started using my imagination and started thinking of a picture. I imagined hope as a bird, I then took the literal text and then compared it to the metaphorical sense that is supposed to be taken out of it, which helps gives it a deeper meaning to the poem itself.

The Crossroad Between Should And Must

I never really took a deep thought over the difference of "should" and "must". Before reading the article, I had in mind the definition of "should", which was similar as to what Luna said, but never gave long consideration to "must". After reading Luna's article, I thought about my future, and what steps ahead I have in order to achieve what I want in my future. Along with that, I also took the "should" and "must" being put into it. I think that I'm put right where the two meet, right at the cross. 

As noted, "should" is what people want us to do, while "must" is based on our belief. A "should" that is always encouraged by others is the traditional "go to college, get a a degree, get a career out of it" deal, which is the path I'm on right now. But, one thing that you can do with "must" is remix the "should" that society wants for us. If the "must" that we want happens to have an element of the "should" that society thinks that's best, then there's no reason why that shouldn't be done.

I intend do apply that to my future. While I'm taking the "should" message that is encouraged by society, I'm adding my "must" to it and taking it into the direction that I want to. So yeah, I'm going to college, getting a degree and so on, but am I getting a degree in something that I "should" do? No, of course not, I'm majoring in something that I want to major in, at the college I want to go to, that will lead me to a career that I want. If it seems right to us, if we want to do it, then we simply must, if we think it's the best.
