Firework by Katy Perry
‘Cause, baby, you're a firework
Come on, show ’em what you‘re worth
This poem is showing self love. Those lyrics is saying everyone is a firework. meaning you can achieve anything you put your mind to. 

Post 19 the images 2 colleagues' discussed in their posts and how we differ.

Jalen said  "In the poem Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou someone could interpreted the poem different than me depending on their perspective. Personally, I think that the poem is describing a woman that is confident in herself and does not care what anyone else says."Cause I'm a woman, Phenomenally, Phenomenal, That's me."  My favorite song is Beautiful by Christina Aguilera which mean everyone is beautiful in their own way despite their sexuality, or how they look. " You are beautiful in every single way.."." I feel like Maya was describing herself and not trying to up bring women. But with her kind of role model figure people interpreted as if she was describing how black women are. Sadie said "Action speaks louder then words, and images are sometimes better then words. I know when I look at an image I can see the words throughout the image and sometimes predict what happens.Like Maya Angelou poem "Phenomenal Woman" I can see a woman that is strong and is well smart about what she do." I agree with her that actions speak louder than words. I'm like like her though and can predict what happened in the picture without words.

post 18 why images can mean so many different things.

It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
(Hey)

Damn, who knew?
All the planes we flew
Good things we've been through
That I'll be standing right here talking to you
'Bout another path
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up
Look at things different, see the bigger picture
Those were the days
Hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place (see you in a better place)

People interpret things differently so lyrics can carry different meanings according to the person. See if someone hasn't seen Furious 7 they could think the song is about a pet or a close friend as in a  long time neighbor. The song says "It's been a long day without you, my friend", someone could say that the person or thing could be someone far far away. A person may say this verse "I know we loved to hit the road and laugh, But something told me that it wouldn't last" could mean they ended the friendship on a bad note. Things could have so many different meanings but when a picture is painted like the movie things are clear.

post 17 MY response to how my colleagues think about myths

Dimetri Carter said  "myths is a perception and how it explains the things that are unexplained." He read the poem " Hazel Tell LaVerne" which he said "the frog is trying to become a prince, and the only way he can is by kissing the maid." I believe that is true because that is something that always stuck with me back when I was a kid watching Disney channel. The movie I'm referring to is "Princess and the Frog." Jaylen said " Usually we think of myths as imaginary gods that are powerful and perform magic and other things." I agree and disagree at the same time. I disagree because when i think about gods I think about people worshiping other people . I agree because I use to be a fan of magic and as i grew older I started knowing it was all a myth.  

post 16 use of mythological elements in "Those Winter Sundays"

The culture expectations in this poem is that the man of the house would get up early in the winter to warm up the house. The man of the house should be exhausted from the hard work he had put in throughout the week. Robert Hayden said "this poem is about the cold past and a present reverence for him." I think this still lives on today. Fathers are always at fault if something goes wrong. They still get up early to cook, work, and do things around the house to keep everything running smoothly.

post 15 my colleagues favorite song or poem.

Shawnise favorite song lyric is by Twenty-one Pilots. The song is called "Holding on to you". She love this lyric because it describes how people can change the way they feel about themselves. I have never heard this song. i'm now interested to listen to it. Trayjon favorite song is lose yourself by Eminem. He like that song a lot, because he connect to it, and relate to it. The theme of his favorite song is to never lose yourself. Lose who you are, but it's also about coming out of your shell, and doing what you want to be, and be who you truly want to be. 

post 14 My favorite song lyric

My favorite song is See You Again by Wiz Khalifa. The theme of this song is to remain positive when a friend pass because you will see them again. This song is close to me because tomorrow isn't promised and you don't see your friends everyday. Song lyrics:

It's been a long day without you, my friend

And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
(Hey)

Damn, who knew?
All the planes we flew
Good things we've been through
That I'll be standing right here talking to you
'Bout another path
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up
Look at things different, see the bigger picture
Those were the days
Hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place (see you in a better place
