If You Like Pina Coladas...

Lonely Hearts reminds me of the sone "If you like Pina Coladas". It's like she putting a personal ad in a newspaper. She wants to find someone to spend her life with. She talks about who she is and what she is looking for in North London, of course. This poem is a good poem. I like reading poems like this.

Shakespeare v.s. Moss

I really wanted to compare Shall I Compare Thee To A Summers Day. This poem was written by two different writers yet when you read Shakespeare's you get a sense of hapiness. A sense of love and brightness overcomes me but when i read Moss's i feel they are nothing alike. Moss writes so much more literal and it doesn't seem as though they are the same poem. Shakespeare's is happy until Moss writes the literal meaning of it (more modern reading of it shall I say) and it just seems sad.

Oh Brother...

In The Rich Brother, I don't really understand Donald. I just don't think like him. If i'm doing bad, and my brother gave me some money, i would savor it like it was gold not give it to some hobo who says all these stupid things. I just relate more to Pete than Donald. Pete, to me, is easier to understand and agree with. He knows how to make money, he has a wife and job. He isn't wasting his life trying to risk everything in something that no one belives in.
