Disco Crowd I would have belonged to the "disco crowd", because the rhythm is energizing and simply ear friendly. The environment in which disco is played is unreal with its disco balls and lights like an outer space feeling. Disco has a magical way to make you feel good about yourself. It can make you feel sexy, when wearing those totally sparkly and flashy colors with ridiculous high boots that adds a little color to life; the kind of clothes and free attitude that I don't wear in my everyday life.

According to Shakespeare's Let Me not to the Marriage of True Minds, when one is in love you must admit your faults. It is not love if you cannot get through a tough time in your relationship. If love is true, then both partners will stay true. Love is secure and constant; it will never change over time. It can guide you when you feel lost. If you feel that your love has gone astray, follow your heart; if it is meant to be, it will find a way back. Although no one can understand it, everyone goes the distance for love.

Critique: How I Learned to Sweep The poem "How I Learned to Sweep" is written beautifully. I like the rhyme scheme and the pentameter. I think its very unique how the author, Julia Alvarez, ties together the sweeping with the broom and the sweeping of the weeds from a helicopter dropping off troops. The lines " our soldiers were landing in their helicopters into jungles their propellers swept like weeds seen underwater- gives you a beautiful mental picture. You can actually see weeds underwater swaying and also weeds being swept down from a helicopter. Another visually strong element is this "...

AE Housman Reading this poem I had several different impressions. First reading it in a literal aspect I saw a child who ran races and perhaps won. Even if he didn't win he was made to feel like a winner. "And home we bought you shoulder high" (line 4) this says they bought him home proudly but not necessarily that he won. Next something happens to the runner that makes him unable to run, perhaps old age but I think death because of the following lines: Will flock to gaze the strength less dead"(line26) I also think there were key statements throughout to somewhat changed my thought pattern.
