MUSIC AS LITERATURE

There is no difference between a novel, poem, rap, song, opera and symphony. Reason is its because theres always a person behind those lyrics and story. In each song or story theres a thought and a heart being poured out and making something great

Final

As a learner in this course I've been able to analyze stories to a different perspective then i had before. By reading texts and listen to discussions has advanced my thinking because I get to hear different opinions from others and use those to come to conclusions and by listening to peoples opinions I can use them in everyday life and make good statements. In my own point of view, why take a side, and start an argument to "shape the world." Real people wouldn't take a side they will take an agreement where both sides meet. Rushdie wanted this to be heroic type quote because in this everyday life people want to seek out the frauds, start arguments and "shape the world." He wants people to be brave and stand up and speak up like there is no time to be pity or to be sad on not promised days just get up and make a difference. As the way I see these quotes, I see them as not the same. You cant compare everyday life with school. Once you are 18 you're on your own because that's when you chose your path, in school they try to put you on a certain path that will "benefit" you. Forget the benefits push someone to there limit to be the absolute best. In the story of "The conscience of a Hacker" a line says " Damn kid probably copied it. They're all  alike." Modern teachers prejudge a kid because they don't have the looks on being smart. The students rarely get the chances on proving their capabilities without being punished.  In the story of Young Goodman Brown he was giving chances on being on the "right path."This is a dull pace for a beginning of a journey.'' There is never a pace on your path, why half fast something and getting the job "done" but doing it wrong or just going at your own pace and getting the job done and right.

Jimmy Santiago Baca Peace

To start off everyone has a different view of "peace." We need to find peace within our selves because why focus on someone who is seeking for peace?  If there's peace the world would be a better place with a lot of clear minded people with indigo's to help peace.

Speaking Freely

Everyday I hear many people they want to be great or be rich. MOST kids or adults aren't doing anything to get to that level of success. They enjoy sleeping then working hard, they lie to themselves when they get asked "Are you working hard?" If you want to be successful you have to stop complaining and learn to cope with something that can get you better, and stop talking to the ones who complain because they don't want to be push to that limit.

Matters to me

Things that matter to me is pretty simple. My Mother matters to me the most because she keeps me the person I am today without me I could be doing bad things with the wrong person. I heard people say "nobody cant be good at something, its hard being great." I wake up everyday feeling great and amazing because I do everything for my family, i'm not stopping till they're straight, its just how i was raised. My dad matters to me as well because he's thought me to open my mind to see the bigger picture to life.  Just being able to wake up another beautiful day, smelling the fresh air, seeing different faces, and seeing my loved ones smile and having a great day.

Essay

The choices we make now are critical to the path of our own destiny. If we don't start now, notice how i say now, because all we have is now. If we don't take action into matter results will be inconclusive. Its simple psychology (if you want the light off, then your intention is needed to be completed by your actions in order to see results). Therefore applying the same exact sequence in your everyday life results will be conclusive.

If you have a goal and set your mind on to achieve it, the reality starts unfolding because your thoughts become your reality. Anybody is capable to shape ones reality, with Focused Awareness.
Focused Awareness: is awareness with high focused energy applied in a situation.
If you look at today "role models" and see there position they all have a formula that allowed them to achieve on what they have accomplished. They all had a web of thoughts they had in the past, that had led to the present moment. We are made from the same substance that the universe is made of. We are just an extension in a way for the universe to know itself. So when looking at the situation as is you see that you are one with everything that exist, and fully capable of shaping ones future reality.

Mad libs

Remember that time you ate that spicy chicken just before you went to bed on the night before the big black Friday deals?  Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election.  When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the fascinating details, but after reading "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder" it's all coming back to you now.

The dream started badly.  You were in line with your family at a bus stop waiting to be sent to a concentration camp.  Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect Hillary Clinton , looking like a crazy lion who could eat a whole elephant.   

Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string ."  You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to speak up.  But it wasn't easy.  First you had to put on a fancy birthday suit and hat and then you had make a cupcake to go back in time to the Best buy so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the fellow community and how there mass shootings  .

But right there in the Best Buy there was a giant meta humans and it started  running at everyone.  People started to scream.  You grabbed a sock from a nearby shelve and yelled .  "This is their weakness to stop the sanity." Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.
