JANUARY reading challenge

Reading a book that is all poems is very different then reading a regular book. It is a different format and to understand the book you have to really understand the poems. This is what is making up the whole book. When I was reading Sold though it felt at times that I was reading a regular book. But Sold was very differeent then reading Impulse because in the book Impulse there are much more complex poems that deal with very complictated topics that to someone who could not  understand the poems would not understand the book at all and they would be just as lost as I was.

 I think that it is interesting that this character talks about needing new "gear" in such a serious way. The author pulls you in so that you have to read more and find about what will happen. By the way it is written this is almost like a short story and you are dying to know what will happen next to the man. He says that his crew is making fun of him and that he needs new gear, so this can mean that he may be getting peer pressure from his friends but really when it comes down to killing someone you are the one whos choses wether to do it or not.

IntroductionSo you're famous, everyone knows your name, And you're a specialist by gum, in the transport game, You think you're so grand with your important job.

A Letter to Rudolph

Dear Husband, It is time that I must have my say,
I've taken your shit day after day.
I've kept the home peaceful year after year
Now there is going to be changes, so listen my dear.
So you're famous, everyone knows your name,
And you're a specialist by gum, in the transport game,
You think you're so grand with your important job.
But I'm telling you my dear you're a worn out old yob
363 days a year,
You sit on your arse drinking scotch, rum and beer,
You claim it is to keep up the shine on your nose
So Santa can see where he bloodywell goes.
One night a year is all that you work,
You and your eight reisty mates - they're all jerks.
Dasher and Dancer - Speed freaks I say,
The sleigh wouldn't go that quick any other way.
Prancer and Vixen - Just cheap little tarts,
But they look like angels once Comet starts.
Cupids on some freaked out damned power trip,
And Donner...well, she should just get a damned grip
And Blitzen, I almost don't need to say,
Is here getting blitzed with you every day.
All of these years at the front of the sled,
Has gone, I'm afraid, to your crusty old head.
You're a layabout and a drunkard, with a big shiny nose,
And a weakness for elves in black pantyhose.
I'm telling you husband that one Christmas song,
Has made you think that you can do no wrong.
So this year while your out with old Santa's sled,
I am eloping, my dear, with your friend - Mr. Ed

Paintings

In Claude Monet's Lily Pond, there is a sense of peace. By the way the colors blend with each other and work so well to give the painting the feeling of timelessness. The way the water stays at bay gives you the feeling that no single person has ever been to this spot, but then you see the bridge and you know that people have been there. The lilies stand out from all else, as they are brighter then everything around them. The shading and the way light is hitting the grass you can also tell that it is sunny outside  As you move your eyes to the left, it slowly begins to become dark, giving you the feeling that it might be spring and it is cool outside. These are some things that you can  interpret from this painting.
