Spring Literature Analysis #1

Brian's Winter by Gary Paulsen

General

1.In the beginning Brian is still in the woods and winter is coming fast. He has to learn how to adapt and when winter comes he has his hut made already. He discovers that the rats have a under ground city and he uses that to find his food. Towards the middle he finds moose tracks and kills it and that is his main supply of food for the Winter. He then hears something strange for a couple of days and when he goes to investigate he discovers that it is a family and they had been living there all along without him knowing it.

The Peeved Pedestrian

Ray Brandbury wrote the novel that I am reading to show how we are being controlled by other people and taught to do things in different ways. One literary element is allusion. Allusion is used a lot in this book and an example is when he looks at the grille. This is why we are being taught to do certain things because anything can be in there and we are told that nothing is in vents.

I'm a Poet and I Know It

This version of the poem is going to be buy Guy Montag. So far he thinks that he is all that because he is a fireman and he is not sure of himself now.

When my day begins I put a smile on my face 
and I want it to be midday.
So I can do what I do best and play baseball
and let everything go away.

I have been playing baseball for ten years
If I can remember 
baseball is apart of me 
and I will keep it forever.

While I am doing work
I am with my friends 
we all do the same thing to 
make sure we win again.

When my practice is over 
it does not stop their on the diamond 
I work day and night 
to do my job like a lion.

When I go to sleep
I want it to be midday
so I can go back to what I do best
which is become better everyday.

Spring Post1 Music as Literature

1. Yes, we can consider music to be literature because music is telling a story and has a message in every song. 
2. The internet define literature as written work. In class we said that it was having people coming together to share things.
3. The difference between a novel, song, poem, and rap is not that different from one another. A novel is a long book and a song is another way of telling a story. A poem also tells a story and so does rap. They all share the same thing.
