In Mildrid's Parlor

The stage of this is inside Montag and Mildrid's house. Mildrid is with her two friends Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles. Montag just got back from Faber's house and is very antious because he has the poetry book with him. Motag can't help listen to them anymore and opens the book and reads this poem.

The Man

It's hard to describe how I feel right now
I want to explain it but I don't know how
I can't believe its come to this
it's our world, not just his
no matter how hard we try
the man can never hear us cry
we could scream and yell
but he is in his heaven while we're in our hell

The little boy wants his acceptance
but the man keeps his distance
the little boy has so many "whys?"
but the man won't open his eyes

The little girl just wants her dad
but the man doesn't understand
the little girl just wants to be kissed and hugged
but all the man does is shrug

The woman just wants him
But the light is getting dim
She loves him with all her heart
But the man keeps tearing it apart

no matter how hard we try
he can never hear us cry
we could scream and yell
but he is in his heaven while we're in our hell

I want to know one more thing
with my last bit of strength
is this it? Is this the end?

 

I would choose this poem to read because it shows how trapped they are and can;t be heard by anyone. IT also relates to Montag because he can't tell anyone what is going on.

I Am Here

So far for this grading period I have done well. I have been doing well in all of my classes and currently have a 4.0. For my smart goal I said I wanted to get into something involving Engineering but I want to go more into the automotive industry instead. I have been doing that by going to my dad's shop more and learning some new things.
