I don't like your Whitty humor, Whitman

Step 1) I decided to analyze the document from the last page up to see if I could gain a different perspective. There is an image of a skull with a hat, floating above the ocean as the sun sets, and something has pierced through its heart-shaped, limp body. The corresponding description that caught my attention was, “this may be the most mysterious page in the notebook”. It describes how this might be an allegory of America, noting that it is positioned in “a strange halfway state, suspended between day and might, life and death?” (18). My interpretation is that Whitman saved his most cryptic document for last, meaning everything that came before just builds up the suspense. I think Walt Whitman, based on his drawing, ponders the state of his country in relation to himself. It might be a skeleton of himself and how he feels separate and hurt in this big world. This could be due to him floating above land and his deathly painful appearance with the sword through his chest. I am

I was Born Free(bie)!

this freebie is mine and only mine. enjoy Fast, on a rough road riding High, through the mountains climbing Twisting, turning further from my home. Young, like a new moon rising Fierce, through the rain and lightning Wandering out into this great unknown. And I don't want no one to cry, but tell em' If I don't survive I was born free I was born free I was born free Born Free Free, like a river raging Strong, if the wind I'm facing.

Hey yaya yayaya Oh hoo Calm facing danger Lost, like an unknown stranger Grateful for my time with no regrets. Close to my

I'll Leave You With a Thought

It was real . I feel like that can pretty much define it for me. Currently, I have 45 minutes to type this because I have to be up at 3:30 to get on a plane to upstate New York. Okay back to business since this a grade. Now, the word ‘ real ’ can have a few connotations. Let’s explore that and learn more about Alex’s life than you would prefer. So I can’t help but feel a whirl of emotions right now, but those feelings are real and I think that’s pretty neat. It’s the end of the school year, the end of high school, no do overs, and we’ve already seen many last’s: Last high school play, last musical, (soon) last prom, last football game, and many other defining high school moments. But hopefully these aren’t the best years of our lives. Plus we still have exams, prom, and graduation ahead of us, but most importantly the summer without summer assignments. All of this was real , but pretty sucky that it’s about to end. I can only imagine this feeling will escalate as we draw closer
