Elegy Poems...

The Man in Green  A cancer of the lungs,  A murmur of the heart  Theres one he can't control  and one he didn't start  He lies unon his bed  Dressed in death robes green  reflecting on his life  and everything he's seen  The nurse all dressed in black,  notes the pallor of his skin  The doctor comes and asks  Him for the next of kin  A cancer of the heart,  A murmur from the lungs  His elegy he starts,  for there are no other tounges.    Joshua Bosworth  Saturday  The ambles on the idle yard  gleams the unraveled garden.  The fog that’s destined to die  takes us to a withered hotel.  The unresolved honeymoon;  revelation of the soul-  the meaningless glare  as we waltz to the elegy.  The beatific vision;  faith is the handsaw.  The bartender  and the synthetic regime-  the kingdom of demise.  The world is the oyster;  I veil the transgression.    Fred Temple

When a parent or someone of a higher importance dictates to me that education or something similar is of great importance, my reaction is usually on a sustained level. I generally agree with them that education is important. It is worth the while to try harder now and be successful in the future, rather than to slack off now and have a slim chance of success. Success comes with happiness. 

Holden's internal conflicts

Holden pretends he has two health issues; pneumonia and he also pretends he got shot in the stomach. I think Holden acts this way because he tries to exemplify his feelings. His imagination takes over and he tries to feel something different, rather than the emotions he expresses daily. This could also be so that people feel pity toward him, or feel passion towards him.
