March 4th homework

Homework for TODAY or TONIGHT:

Eavesdrop on people talking. Listen in on others. They can be friends at lunch, people in gym class, the couple sitting in the row next to you in math, your parents, your siblings, teammates, coworkers, a family ahead of you in line at McDonald’s.

Your goal is to LISTEN to how people talk and record it. It doesn’t matter what is said. Just listen in. You can record what they say in a couple of ways:

· You can actually record their conversation on your cell.
· You can videotape them. (They might notice, though. Be careful.)
· You can listen and remember what they say.

Ultimately, I want you to walk in with 5-10 “lines” written down tomorrow, Friday, March 5th.

Try to notice how people speak. Do they speak in complete sentences? Do they wait and take turns or speak over each other? Are they really listening to one another? Which words do they stress? How are you going to show that those words were stressed when you write the lines down? If they talk over each other or interrupt each other, how will you show that when you record the lines?

Mango's Opposite by:Surai DeJesus

Blueberry
Soothing and calm
The deep blue of stars still covered in twighlight
Tranquil
The color of a baby's tears
Small and tarty
A sour taste of bold flavor
Excitement on the inside but subdued on the outside
A tulip new and shy as it slowly brightens
The color of pride and satisfaction
Holds a simplicity and grandour
The topping to a flacky cereal
Blueberry

Survival

beautiful loving girls
lost in his deep green eyes
sourrounded by nothing but haterate,
hoping to survive

Jennifer Aniston's view

It was suicide
Jen had to take Revenge to stop what was done.
He put everything before his family.
Brad was a complete mess!
So I got hooked on booze, and overdosed on pills
But yet I got an amazing figure
With this I posed naked for
Playboy but
Brad did not enjoy; and shot me the question
Are you hooked on a dozen meds?
Within seconds my Revenge had failed and rehab had called.
These are the tough days of a super star
Cold, boring, and dull.

Aboard the Bob Barker (crummy mag poem)

According to captain Chuck Swift of the Bob Barker, and exotic bird brings you luck, and someone’s buttering you up for a long slide into romance.
So get frisky! Let your hair down! And do things you wouldn’t ordinarily do.
See your doctor, because heads turn when you go by.
In a set of three genuine lambskins, red, bone, black, someone you meet at a wooden table holds the key to your future.
It sounds too good to be true.
But when Mr. Nasty turned up 90 minutes late, you’ll charm the socks off everyone you meet.
Money, money, money!! Someone’s crazy about you.
It’s party time, crew of the Bob Barker! Satisfaction guaranteed or you money back.

Roses

Every year I see them pass,
Those roses.
I reach for them, but just can’t clasp
My roses.
Slender structure, soft red hair,
Roses.
Sits upon a vase and wilts,
But poses,
Those beautiful wilted roses.

Where were you when I was crashing down?
Your voice could’ve stopped this erruption.
One more look my way might’ve saved me.
You know I wouldn’t self-destruct for just anybody.
So I’ll stand in the spot where we first met,
And cherish the room in which we first kissed,
And treasure the time we once shared.
When love finds me again,
I won’t be afraid.
