City Eclogue

I found City Eclogue to be very interesting. Some stories i could not get into and some i found very pleasing and easy to comprehend. In fact, i even laughed within myself as i read some of them. They all have their own sense of meaning.

I had a favorite sonnect within the book and it is on page 113. the tittle of it is The "States as Body " Aspect of Eunuch Rule. I really liked this one because i found it very easy to understand, as i was reading the sonnet i felt myself acting it out in my head. it was very easy to imagine and fathom what was going on.My favorite of this sonnet was the ending and it states "and not this absence i will kill to mate".

I really liked the ending part of this particular sonnet because i can understand their passion about sex. They are explaining in depth of how much they love sex and i can see that. It is something that this person is very passionate about. Also, in the beginning, i notice that the author states "I want to kill for my incapacity to feel". I think that this means that if they were not able to feel sex they are just as good as dead.

Goldberg & Poetry Packet

My favorite writing was from the second Goldberg packet. I liked the baking a cake. Here is one of Goldberg's saying "You put them in a bowl and mix them up, but this does not make a cake". This was my favorite because you can have everything you need but you have to put them together and make it work for what you want it to.

Also, my second favorite saying from Baking a Cake is "You must add the heat and energy of your heart". This means that you have to go into to details and not just brush the surface of the subject but you should digg deeper. Explain all of the characteristics of the subject to make it more realistic.

The poetry packet on the other hand was hard for me to get into. Maybe its just me but I find it hard to get into. I really can not understand the readings it. I know that the writer/authors are trying to making us see something but I'm just not seeing the whole picture. I believe that I need to expand my mind a little more.
