Poetry

Hello Bloggers,
Being it has been almost two months since my last post, a lot has changed. Including the fact that we are now studying poetry in English class. Today in class, instead of Mr. J, we had a "sub" named Mr. Ott. We read/listened to poems all all types. From different time periods or poems with different styles. For me, I realized that the theme of the poem is important as well as bringing your poem back to reality. Does that make sense? Probably not. Anyways, when writing a poem who may get lost in the waves a stanzas and lose yourself in your deep and inner thoughts. Remember to bring your reader back to today. Still doesn't make sense... Hmmm. Maybe you should read some poetry as well to understand what I am saying. Enjoy losing yourself in 19th century literature!

The light of your life,
Franko

Second Wind

     First off I want to say sorry for being such a horrible blogger, Franko Manchini is back and ready to blog! The video below, Second Wind by Ian Worrel, is a powerful and, well, erie video. Seriously, I have chills. Though the video is silent, aside from the creepy music and occasional sound effect, it has a emotional and powerful effect. The video would manipulate your emotions and make you feel a hundred different things at once. Also, there was a moral to the story, or morals. I believe the morals were that you don't know what you have till it's gone, do not let jealously interfere with your emotions, and everyone deserves a second chances. I believe these are the morals because these themes are evident throughout the story. I hope you enjoy!
