Sonnet 292 Summary and Song

The eyes I spoke of once in words that burn
The arms and hands and feet ad lovely face
That took me from myself for such a space
Of time and marked me out from other men

The waving hair of unmixed gold that shone,
The smile that flashed with the angelic rays
That used to make this earth a paradise,
And now a little dust, all feeling gone;

And yet I live, grief and disdain to me,
Left where the light I cherished never shows,
In fragile bark on the tempestuous sea

Here let my loving song come to a close;
The vein of my accustomed art is dry
And this, my lyre, tuned at last to tears
Sonnet Revised

In the sonnet by Francesco Petrarch he is talking about how the eyes he spoke so fondly of and the body that hypnotized him is gone. He is in grief and is using imagery of her to show his grief. He misses the way she smiled and the color of her. The women he grieves for was so important to him that he feels the earth has stopped.

Paraphrase Sonnet 29

When I find myself thinking how I am poor with no riches

I pout for myself because I have naught what makes a man a man

I pray to heaven but heaven does not hear me

So I hate myself

I silently wish I was one of those rich

Wishing I looked like the man with unmistakable beauty and friends who acknowledge him

I hate myself for thinking these thoughts

But when I think of you and my melancholy drifts away

I then sing to the heavens for your unconditional love

And I would not change that even for the most riches

Real Life Quote

Today's Alumni lack certain skills that will help them become successful after SPA. They need communication, organization, and independent skills. They need these skills to have a balanced life. They also need these skills to keep order of medical related things as well as money related things.

Alumni gain these skills at SPA by getting a job and saving money while gaining work experience. Also the YES program has a lot of good information and workshops that prepare the Alumni before they leave.

Love Affairs

Who writes about love. The ones who do don't realize that it's not love their writing about it's the insecurities they have. Who is to say how someone thinks and feels ............ nobody. Personally i don't think teenager have a clue what love is. Love is pain, death, and darkness. Love can make even the happiest people feel dark and melancholy. If you read teenager girls Myspace's what do they mostly consist of.Examples are " He's mine and all mines","Why can't he see that I'm the one for him",and the most famous one " That's my man and all the B****es who want him can't have him". That's not love it's obsession and insecurities.Don't let the fear of losing a boy control your emotions.

Life

Whoever said that life was a gift was a liar. Life is Hell and the only people who actually enjoy life are ones that communicate with the devil. Life is a test,for God. By looking down at us he judges us and when the day comes we have our day and were stuck in the midest of pergatory. As the souls of Gods creation, wait for their judgement day the reat of us continue our quest in LIFE.

My Ambition and Distress

I will never again hear the words from anybody that “You don’t have the mentality to do this”. I feel that many adults have this idea that if surprise them with a masterpiece that I couldn’t possibly do that. To say that I can’t do something is like to tell a child that he can’t be whoever he want s to be when he grows up. It will untimely crush them.
When someone says “I’m proud of you La Tanya” and really means it, it’s the best feeling in the world. On the other hand when someone told me that I couldn’t write on deeper meaning I couldn’t believe my ears. I felt my ambition drop and I knew that I didn’t want to be a writer anymore. It crushed me to know that they had little faith in me. Maybe I thought to myself that I really wasn’t a good writer, maybe it was all just an illusion. The one time that I really try on an essay I get turned down because my teacher thought I was a cheater. I felt alone, I felt dark and as if the curtain had been pulled and it was actually on robes that controlled my actions.

“In a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity – it is a prerequisite.

This quote means that knowledge is something that just comes to you and if you practice it enough its not just something you have to do to be somebody or to get somewhere it becomes you you are. Without knowledge what would we have alot but the next generation would be screwed up and it would be our faults because we didn't believe in knowledge and i think its important that we ready the next generations to come .
