#ECL220 “Shipping Out” by David Foster Wallace, to summarize, is the idea that there’s something really sad about mass-market luxury cruises. It’s ironic because looking at the cruises from a “This is Water” perspective, there should be a lot of beauty on the boat.Contradicting…

#ECL220 “This is Water” is a good perspective on life. I wish I could think like that, I give advice for others to think like that. But I think it’s way easier said than done. To actually live out a hard day with an optimist, everything’s good if you look hard view, difficult.

#ecl220 I never know that visual poetry could be just singular letters or really anything before. I always thought of poetry as an in the box format but Im realizing there’s so many different forms.

#ecl220 After learning about what visual poetry is, I really think it would be a useful thing to have people practice when they have emotions they have bottled up and need to express

#ECL220 It’s interesting hearing Gregory Curso’s perspective on marriage because he is completely repulsed by it and thinks it’s horrid. Completely opposite of me, I think it is so beautiful and one of the most amazing things in life finding love and committing to one another

#ECL220 “This is Just to Say” got me thinking of plums so much I bought some. I put them in my fridge so they were cold like the poem. They were good…but I realized they were so good to the person in the poem because they were someone else’s. People always want what others have.

reading “The very old man with enormous wings” the first time through, I didn’t understand the purpose. I read it 3 times to understand the complexity, which I actually really enjoyed. Once I realized what it was about it meant a lot: let life take its natural course,

My favorite reading this week was “Pair of Tickets”. It caused a lot of emotions for which was surprising because I was not expecting it from this reading. I think it is very relatable to feel as if you aren’t who you’re supposed to be, or don’t even know at all.

Was about to go all “Cask of Amontillado” on my sister when she made a mean remark about how I am a bad cook and insulted my dinner. Then I remembered revenge gets you no where…then I remembered he did the revenge anyways… and made her do all the dishes.

My sister was actually recently engaged. She was talking to my mom about how she doesn’t love her ring. I was able to tell her and “The Necklace” story and how unimportant material things are and it really helped her! Remember to be grateful for what you have!
