I am not to sure if this post is supposed to be a piggy back onto or last one or if we were supposed to pick an all new one, but here's a quote that I have always really loved. I remember reading this years ago, and it has stuck with me. I have come across it many times since the first, and each time I read it I get a deeper meaning out of it. Happiness is the key to life, but it's all about your prospective on life. Now, let's be real, that does not mean that because you are always happy bad things won't happen to you, or that life can't get you down. It means that with the right mindset all things are possible and when you succeed you bring happiness among yourself. 
I can relate to this quote because there will always be someone trying to get you down, or wants you to be as miserable as there are but if you keep that positive outlook, your happiness is controlled by you, and no one can take that away.

Post 28: Others...

Reading through a few blog posts Imani's really stood out because she said this class has "humbled her" and that is a huge lesson beyond the text of the Bedford book. When discussing anything as a group we come across different opinions from our own. As we age we learn, that that is okay. Not everyone sees eye to eye and that doesn't make the world any less perfect. Kourtney also mentions "looking at things from a different perspective" and that goes hand in hand with respecting others opinions. That is huge when reading poetry as a class, and in everyday life.

Post 19: Metaphor that captures my life...

Life is like an elevator, On your way up sometimes you have to stop and let some people off. I really like this metaphor, because it is true. Over time there are so many people that come and go in our lives. Things happen, people grow and drift apart, while new come together. But, you cannot hold on to the ones that you have drifted apart from, or that are holding you back. Letting go is how you grow!

Post 4: A Rose For Emily

In the short story "A Rose For Emily", the plot was what I would compare to a popcorn plot, it hops around a lot, not being told by the author William Faulkner, in a chronological order that some stories are usually portrayed with. This made this story stand out to me. Litcharts also pointed out that the "narrative quickly shifts back in time", this is made obvious when first begging to read this story as it starts talking about Emily's funeral, then the pieces of the story are told in an extreme time-hop/warp manner. This first sentence, "When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral..." at this point we have no clue who Emily is and of course the narrator fills in with the detail later for us to gain a better understanding, but keep the surprise factor.
