The Wind-tapped like a tired Man

             Emily Dickinson's poem "The Wind-tapped like a tired Man" is a lovely piece of writing that appeals to me, because of the many hidden meanings it contains. The beautiful poem is basically all about a host and the wind. The wind is known as the guest in the poem, but there is an understanding to this that should be considered. The wind symbolizes the memories that the poet wanted to invite into her mind. The lonely host is said to be Dickinson who welcomes and offers the wind a seat. She wanted him to stay which emphasizes the desperation of the host. The guest had no bones and needed to be binned together to keep him in one place. The need of obtaining a vivid memory lead to her urge of binning the wind and never letting go of him. The memories were described as a billow, a mass of cloud. In other words, the wind was very confusing and unclear in a way. In the end, the host was alone after the wind left which depicts the company he provided for her throughout the poem. Authors have specific ways of expressing themselves, especially poets. Emily Dickinson broaches her ideas through hidden interpretations uniquely which is exactly why her poem interested me. 

This is for you:)

I would like to dedicate this post to one of my best friends so, here I go...

Dear Reem, 

       I would prefer to say this in person but, that's okay.  Even though I'm miles away, your always going to be on this daydreamer's mind. If I had a flower for every time I daydreamed about you, I would be an owner of a never ending garden! Today is a very special day for you and I hope you have a memorable one. I wish you a very special birthday me amigo. You deserve a lot because your nice, caring, and if I had a 100 trophies in my possession, I would give each and every one of them to you. Why? You practically won the best friend award like a hundred times in the head. Before I moved, we had a lot of good and memorable times together that I will never forget. I miss you too much Mrs. Martinez and I'm waiting for the summer- the summer I might see you face to face after two long years. Have fun and enjoy being fifteen beautiful!

                                                                                                  Sincerely,

                                                                                                  Your Amigo :)

P.S.: Long Live "D-F-R-N-T"

"I can be changed by what happens to me. I refuse to be reduced by it" ~ Maya Angelon. 
    
     Take a moment or two to think about this quote. Did the meaning catch your attention? Well, it certainly caught mine... The beautiful quote really grabbed me because, I related it to my own experiences. I mean that's how people comprehend things, right? They paraphrase in their minds by comparing/contrasting the content with their personal life.

      I realized that I'm going to change at a point of my life, and that I'm not going to be the same person I was before I moved. Change will take place eventually because, things will occur that affect personality, perspective, and maybe perseverance as well. Therefore, I won't let whatever obstacle in my way bring me down or belittle me regardless of what happens. Instead, I will benefit from the situation by learning and moving forward because that's what growing up is all about. Everyday you learn something new, but this time you learned something special from Maya Angelon. 

Sprinkle a Little Hope and Everything Will Be Okay

                As a child, I never considered that high school would be stressful to an unbelievable extent. The survival of the 10th grade proceeds as homework, tests, and assignments seem never ending. I never had the chance to hold a single novel for my entertainment since the beginning of the school year. I guess I got too caught up with school. Even though first semester didn't pass by, I'm actually looking forward to the summer vacation. Yes, the one in exactly six months from now! I'm always daydreaming about reuniting with my friends ever since I moved. In the upcoming summer, I might actually meet up with one of them! That's what's basically keeping me alive in the "wonderful" world of 10th grade- HOPE.    ~D.A
