Subway
Fancy girls, suit and tie men, raggedy clothed street cleaners,
students, tired drunkards, and thief's,
Every one as pleasant and humble as could be;
Interweaving amoung each other,
in this big and blaring car. I hear the sound of
moving doors click-clacking together between
each stop. The loudness of the train almost makes everything seem more silent.
Many passengers await their destination,
yet everything is so quiet.
As the train thunders through the night
everything seems to be even more bright.
Yet the train is still lingering loudly with excite,
and the fancy girls, suit and tie men, raggedy clothed street cleaners,
students, tired drunkards, and thief's,
all still await on the train hoping to catch their dreams.
Alliteration: big and blaring
Consonace: click-clacking
End Rhyme: The loudness of the train almost makes everything seem more silent.
&
As the train thunders through the night
everything seems to be even more bright.
Yet the train is still lingering loudly with excite,
Many passengers await their destination,
yet everything is so quiet.
Personification: train thunders through the night

Umbrella
http://www.metrolyrics.com/umbrella-lyrics-rihanna.html
The song I analyzed was "Umbrealla" By Rihanna ft. Jay-Z. The first thing I noticed in this song was an internal rhyme. The internal rhyme was, "Let it rain, I hydroplane into fame." This is an internal rhyme because it is words within lines that rhyme. Another technique I noticed was an assonance. The assonance occurred in the lyrics, "Comin' down like the Dow Jones." I released this was an assonance because down and dow are a repetition of similar vowel sounds in neighboring words. One other technique I noticed also was personification. Personification occurs in, "when the world has dealt its cards." The last technique I noticed was an alliteration. This alliteration is "under my umbrella." It's an alliteration because it is the repetition of identical sound patterns in the beginning of neighboring words.
I think that the speaker of this song is a girl in love, and the occasion of this song could be a girl who is trying to help the guy that she loves, whom is having a rough time. Also, the intended audience could be people who have or are sharing a certain experience. I feel that the purpose of this song is kind of the same as the occasion. I think that this song attempts to express the feeling of love in a hopeful way. The obvious subject of this poem is love. The speaker of this songs tone is encouraging towards whomever she is talking to. I think this because it says,"Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend."

research paper draft
I feel extremely confident towards my research paper draft. I had to re-search a lot of information because my topic changed in a way. This new research kind of stressed me out or concerned me because it was something else I had to do on top of my draft. The whole reason I did this new research is so that my draft is better.
The hardest thing about my draft was transitioning from paragraph to paragraph. It was so hard to tie everything together. On the other hand, the easiest thing about my draft was developing each paragraph. I had all the information there, so it was easy for me to just write. I hope my class mates give me good feedback on the development of my paper because I worked hard on that. Also, I hope they give me good advice on how to transition.

Sneaux Week
For the virtual school days, I worked really hard on my draft. The first 80 minutes I spent getting new sources to help me write my draft. These sources were way more reliable, and had better quality information. The second virtual school day I spent my 60 minutes writing what I like to call a rough draft of the rough draft. I sat down and organized where I wanted information to be in my paper, and I just organized my paragraphs.
On the last day of snow day I had fun. I started my draft and finished 2 full pages in that 60 minutes. After that I watched tv and relaxed. Surprisingly, I felt like I worked better at my house than if we would have had a class day work period. I felt like a would have accomplished less if I were to write my draft in class, and I felt like I would have been distracted.
