To a Stranger .

I think the poet is talking about an actual stranger, because in the poem he/she is explained as a random person passing by. The poet feels like he once knew this stranger; maybe from the past or another life because he says, "I have somewhat surely lived a life of joy with you." He wants to know this person again because of the line, "I am to meet you again." I think he wants to actually feel connected to this person the way he already is in his thoughts. 

How is your Heart .

I think the poet should be working to improve his life because everybody wants more; it's human nature to work on improving your current position in the world. Even though people say money won't buy happiness, it sure as well gives you the wealth to stay clean and safe. Worrying about bills really isn't a big deal if you can actually afford it. If a person is happy living as a tramp then they are either drunk all the time or mentally disabled.

What I deserve in English 10 .

I think I am doing well in this class because I am always on time, and trying my best with every assignment. I submit all of my posts before their due dates, and pay attention as much as I can in class. I think my blog compares well to other people's- who I'm sure are also doing good. I can think of ideas quickly and help my fellow peers when they need it. It's hard to focus on my topic the whole time because the work is mainly on my cell phone; yet I always try my best to stay on task, and do the work assigned to me on that day. This class is really different to other ones, because the whole course primarily involves the use of technology. English 10 is fun, challenging, and an interesting class that involves critical thinking, and expressing your ideas to make a point. I hope to do well again, later on in the semester :) 

Tattoo for Myself .

I don't ever want to get a tattoo; but if I had to choose one, it would be a small Union Jack. 

Most of my family live in England, and I was born and raised there for most of my life. The three colours represent honesty, strength, and perseverance. 

I don't care what part of my body I get this tattoo on, but I think it's less painful on your arm. I would also add unique designs and effects to the flag, to make it look more alive.

Extended Metaphor .

An extended metaphor is a relation between two unlike things that continues throughout a series of sentences in a paragraph or lines in a poem. 

The song 'Stereo Hearts' by Gym Class Heroes, contains many of these comparisons. The line, "My heart's a stereo, it beats for you so listen close," could be an example of personification. "Hear my thoughts in every note," is a figure of speech explaining how you can express your feelings through music. Both of these are also solid metaphors and, "make me your radio," can be defined as imagery.

  

Love is like a stereo; he is falling in love with someone and gives a melody to his partner. The singer implies that music only comes from ones heart.

These terms help the extended metaphor contrast vivid information that the reader or listener can enjoy and fluently understand. 

This blog has helped me realized the potential complexity of an extended metaphor and has opened my mind to a new array of writing techniques.

Personality Test .

My results in this test said I was an ENFP. I agree with this because I know that I am a warm and enthusiastic person, who can be very passionate about things. 

I was surprised to find out that Dr. Seuss is also an ENFP because I love reading his stories and can relate easily to his style.

These results do make me think differently about myself because I realized that I am capable of inspiring people without even knowing. I have done this before and never really knew what it meant. 

The highest percentage on my chart was for 'feeling.' I know this is correct because of my emtional traits.
