Down by the Salley Gardens

This poem is kinda sad. The guy rushes the girl into a relationship and now he is alone. I would say serves him right. How dare a guy push a girl to do something she doesn't want to do. I see that in my friends all the time. Why do guys always rush things? A relationship show be a friendship. You need to learn about each other first. That's what is so great when you date and hang out with the person. I think that guy needs to rethink his idea on how a relationship should be.

Goblin Market

This has been my favorite poem that I have read for this class so far. I don't like the sisterly love too much. I think it was going a little to far with sisters. I like how it talked about choosing right or wrong. That is so important these days. People make dumb decisions because they wanted to have fun even though it was wrong. I like how she used goblins to represent the devil. He always repeats or shows you things that tempt you. We always need to do what is right and not give in. Giving in comes with a price and it's not fun paying for it. So we should choose the right decision the first time.

In the poem The Forsaken Merman, poem was very hard for me to understand! I didn't know who was Margaret. Is she the lady's name? Why wouldn't she come down when someone would call her?
The Last Dutchess was interesting to me. The Duke was all about riches and wealth. He wants his women to know how great he is and honor that he has. To me, he seems to care only about himself. It also seemed that he could careless about his wife.

frankenstein

Wow! This book was not what I excepted. I was thinking that Frankenstein was the monster and the he did whatever his master told him to do. I thought he was green with big shoes and screws that came out of his head. I didn't know that Frankenstein was the creator and was afraid of the monster. It was a very dark book. The monster killed all those people just so his creator wouldn't be happy. The book was full of sadness. As I read it, I felt sad and sorry for the monster. He had no one to go to and his own creator didn't want anything to do with him. I also see this book as what people do to one another. We take in people that we approve of and reject others that don't fit in with us. I think its sad that we do that. I think that people need to give other people a chance and give them respect.
