10.In the last line, what does the phrase "I'm ready to move on if you are" signify?

I believe the last line of "Little League Haiku" represents acceptance.  The football player had taken a risk in calling out a haiku instead of the regulated formation.  This moment of failure lead to a greater understanding of his own entity. By disallowing to permit guilt and shame consume him, his acceptance of his mistake illustrated how he is ready for the world.  I believe this is the literary term foreshadowing. Although there is no set ending, I believe it foreshadows that they will win the game. Thus, the phrase symbolizes he is ready to move on and that the world is filled with flaws.  This misconvenience signifies learning and understanding.

Full Moon

I was viewing the full moon sky while being lost in the serenity of my Korean music.  As the stars complimented the lonely moon, it bewildered me how beautiful outer space was.  What is out there? Why must the moon taunt us with its bright appearance?  I just want to lasso the moon and hand it to my girlfriend.  This object that is so far away has caught my attention. Its florescent lighting, its celestial appearance, its gigantic structure, is calling for my voyage.

A Winter Walk

The enchanting sun hid away from the forest.  Desperation and survival assisted me on my trail.  This destiny to escape this area consumed my mind.  I needed to see her already; I needed to aid my wife with medicine.  As the blizzard grew stronger, I was losing sight of my whereabouts. I must escape and reach safety.  Yet, I persevered through the blistering pain for my wife had only a few more ounces of sand in her hourglass.  All I envisioned was curing the pain she was under.  Through hours of hours of walking, I had finally reached my destination to find out it was too late.  She laid there, lifeless and dead. I had hoped that I could have reached her in time before our five year anniversary tomorrow. I will always love her.

Anne Sexton: Teacher of Weird Abundance

After reviewing "Anne Sexton: Teacher of Weird Abundance", she conducted psychological experiments on her students to have this closer, indirect relationship with them. Her methods of pedagogy was something that really enlightened my mind. Yet, I felt she could have furthered her bond much more. I feel that when we take dumps, it is overfilled information that our bodies let loose because our minds have no more space for them. So to transfer as much knowledge as I can into my students, I'm going to take a dump in a blender mixed with protein and acquire all my students to drink it. Thus, my lectures and my memories of the day can transmitted into a simple yummy muscle building shake.

How to sprint like Jack Dawson(yes, from Titanic)

After viewing the movie, Titanic, a several amount of times, one trait that always catches my attention in the movie is how fast Jack Dawson sprints. Ever since I was kid, I have been amazed by his blazing speed whenever he runs after Rose. So in order to achieve those results, I've created my own workout to simulate Jacks phenomenal agility. I tape a picture of Rose on my lamp and set my treadmill in its fastest speed while Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" is playing in the background. With Dion's dramatic and powerful verses, not only am I motivated to run faster, this workout determines how far I would go to reach love. This workout has done wonders for my explosiveness and my relationship commitment. If I reach certain amount of distance in a desired time, my lamp awards me by letting me draw her naked.

Song Lyrics and Poetry

Some say it’s not over ‘till it’s over
Guess this is really over now
There’s something I gotta say before I let you go
Listen

When you have a fight with him
Sometimes you cry
And feel sad and blue
I become hopeful
My heart aches secretly
Then just a hint of your smile
Can make feel fine again
To keep you from figuring out how I feel about you
Coz then we would drift apart
I hold my breath, bite my lips
Oh, please leave him and come to me

Baby, please don’t take his hand
Coz you should be my lady
I’ve been waiting for you for so long
Please look at me now

When the music starts
You will vow to spend
The rest of your life with him
How I prayed every night
This day would never come

The wedding dress you’re wearing
It’s not me (next to you)
Oh, the wedding dress you’re wearing, oh, no

You never knew how I felt about you
And I hated you so
Sometimes I wished you would be unhappy

Now I have no more tears left to cry
When I’m by myself I talk to you like you’re here
I’ve felt so restless every night
Maybe I’ve known all along this would happen
I close my eyes and dream an endless dream
Please leave him and come to me

Baby, don’t take his hand when he comes to you
Coz you should be my lady
I’ve been waiting for you for so long
Look at me now

When the music starts
You will vow to spend
The rest of your life with him
How I prayed every night
This day would never come

The wedding dress you’re wearing
It’s not me (next to you)
Oh, the wedding dress you’re wearing, oh, no

Please be happy with him
So that I can forget you
Please forget how miserable I looked
It’s going to be unbearably hard for me
For a long while to come


I chose to analyze Taeyangs- Wedding Dress, these are the translated lyrics of a Korean song.  What makes this song a great poem is the depressing and emotional tone it provokes when I read it, it's personification("The Wedding dress you're wearing" represents the end of the characters love life), the parellelsim("Please be happy with him, please forget how miserable I looked") and it's antithesis("cause you should be my lady, I've been waiting for you so long"/ Please be happy with him so I can forget about you"). I feel Taeyang- Wedding Dress is a great song and great poem because of its immense emotion and usage of literary devices.
