"When I passed forty I dropped pretense, 'cause mean like women who got some sense,'" or so the Maya Angelou quote goes. Well, I hope I do have some "sense" at this point in the game since the idea of 40 and the actuality of it are quite different than it would have been for Angelou or previous generations. I'm not going to lie: numbers have quite a meaning and each tick of the clock, each page of the calendar, each passing of a year starts to add up and lead to reflection of what is left to do. I feel my list if fairly unchecked and incomplete, so I have a lot to do to become the person I want to be in this next decade.
In class today, we continued forward with Blake's poetry - especially those showcasing the conflicting personas of innocence and experience. We will wrap up Blake's works on Monday, and you will need to have your 3 word tone chart ready to go as well.
