Narrative Poem

Writer's Block

I wish I had a constant muse
Everything is in the right place
But my mind

I can do it
But i choose not to
But I have responsibilities and I can't help but wonder how I affect others

I can change they way people look at things
as people have for me

and I wonder shouldn't the motivation from that thought be enough?

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey: Response

    For my book club, I am reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The time period is around the 1960's. So far, this book is about a chief that was admitted into an insane asylum (narirator)  and now has a new " housemate" if you will.  The new guy's name is McMurphy. He is the most outgoing and daring loony that hospital has ever seen. He thinks he will be taking over, but the Big Nurse (Nurse Ratched) has another plan. She holds the lives of all the patients at the asylum, and she is looked to with great fear and respect.
  
    I like the fact that the head person in charge is a  women. In the 1960's women were not as powerful as men. She is constantly compared to machines and their precision and monotony. Although I am an animate person, I aspire to be organized and efficient. Somewhat perfect. It seems as though she is just that. NO one or thing can stop her from getting the job done.

    Race also seems to be a big factor. The janitors are black and it is constantly mentioned throughout the chapters that I have read. The nurse is always being compared to porclein and pale things. She also treats them as her puppets and has complete control over them. In the 1960's there was not much racial inequality and in a way it shows that these two different races are united in some way.

    But all in all, I am looking forward to reading the rest of this book. It ha ssome old language in it, but the characters say such outrageous things, you won't get bored.

MY Independent Book: The Kite Runner

In this book, there has been so many sad moments. But I think they teach a lot of lessons. But sometimes, I think it is hard for most people to relate to this book.

    There is a lot of talk about nature and flying kites. I think for a young audience, this hobby is not common. Nowadays, We are all into technology. We don't know what it is like to jump in a river and not a pool. And we certainly don't know what it is like to spend all of your day playing in the street.

But there are relatable themes in this book.
One is that the main character feels like he has to get approval from his father. I think everyone cares about what there parents think. But me, personally, I couldn't imagine having to impress my parents, because they love me know matter what.
