My Poem that I am going to Perform

Fire and Ice 
By Robert Frost

 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.

Sample Question

Color and sound provide some of the most vivid effects in poetry. How have at least two poems that you have studied used such visual and auditory aspects as these to enrich their poems? After reading two of Naomi Shihab Nye's poems I noticed that some of the poems talk about the visual details and auditory aspects when describing what is happening in the poem.  In the poem, "My Father and the Fig Tree,"  it talks a lot about the details and how the fig tree is so important to his father.  In the poem it said  " At age six I ate a dried fig and shrugged. "That's not what I'm talking about! he said, "I'm talking about a fig straight from the earth – gift of Allah! -- on a branch so heavy it touches the ground."  This talks about the past making us think what this fig tree looked like.   "I'm talking about picking the largest, fattest, sweetest fig." It goes into detail how great this fig tree is.  The poem says how they...

In Class Writing Assignment

5. Select a passage from a novel you have chosen to study which provides an effective introduction of an important character or characters. How would you use staging, design and acting to ensure that this introduction would have dramatic importance for the audience? In the book I would choose the scene when Daniel crashes his car into the tree and Desiree was the one too see this happen.  This was an important introduction for Daniel.  This part was important because it showed the true connection Desiree had with Daniel even though they have never met before.  Desiree knew it was love at first sight.  For staging I would have the car crash happen then I would have just Daniel and Desiree together.  The spotlight would only be on Daniel and Desiree as Desiree is trying to save Daniels life.  I would show Desiree slowly touching his face and touching the blood with her hands.  I would have some  emotion from Desiree as she is using all of her brea...

Oral Presentation Practice:

#1.)  When I read the chapters, “The Wall of Fire Rising” and “Night Women” in the book Krik Krak by Edwinge Danticat, these two stories seemed to be the most eye catching to me.  When I say eye catching, they seemed different that all the other stories because most of these stories talked about the Hatian Culture and how everyone was fleeing the country because of the Macouts.  The Government was in full control of the Haitian people.  I thought these two chapters had a connection because they both have a mother and son but no father.  I thought this would make a good piece in our created performance cause we could see what both sides looked like in both stories.  In both chapters, Little Guy and Night Womens son were going through a tough time because Little Guy just lost his father and Night womens a prostetute.  After all, it seemed like the performance worked out by putting Lily as Night Women and Little Guy as Night Women's son.  It was a ve...
