Roberts, Writing About LiteratureHere's another reason to enjoy poetry.&nbsp; I mean, I've always liked to read it, but it was mostly for a "oh wow that's some pretty stuff" kind of reason.&nbsp; It's not hard to understand what's happening in poetry, but sometimes it's difficult to analyze, especially when]]></summary>

<title>Love is a Many-Splendored Thing</title>
    <summary><![CDATA[I'm not sure if I'm supposed to blog about this in addition to my blog about my presentation, but I figured I might as well."Porphyria's love: she guessed not how her darling one wish would be heard" (56-57).Most people speculate that because the speaker's lover's name is Porphyria, she is the person who is physically suffering from the disease, meaning she is the one who has been diagnosed.&nbsp; I offer a different interpretation.&nbsp; As I said in my presentation for]]></summary>

<title>One Thing I Can Tell You</title>
    <summary><![CDATA[Is You Got To Be Free! "The Decline of the English Department" just goes to show you that people want money today rather than to be a scholar. It takes a lot more brainwork to be a scholar than to be a high paid business person. Disclaimer: I do not mean to put down teachers. We need them. Most of the students majoring in English, history,&nbsp;or a foreign language are going into teaching also. They aren't majoring in English to]]></summary>

<title>Lucky 13</title>
    <summary>I love music, but wow this chapter was long. That&apos;s probably why it took me so long to blog. Music is the greatest kind of poetry for me. The instruments (whatever they may be) add something even greater to the experience, leave emotion and feeling undiscovered. The sounds of the voice, phonetics, vowels, rhythm, and consonants are still there, but there is still much more. &quot;Words describing smooth or jarring sounds, particularly those resulting from consonants, are euphony and cacophony&quot;</summary>

<title>Fairness, Quoting, and Quality</title>
    <summary>Portfolio #4: It is amazing how fast this semester has went, but I have learned more about news writing, than I ever knew before. All of my blog entries were submitted early, promoted discussion and interaction, and sparked some in-class discussion. I always wanted to know The Power of Law and Privacy and I discovered that news reporters must be careful when publishing public names. If a person tells the reporter that they want to remain confidental, then they must</summary>

<title>You Drive Me Crazy!</title>
    <summary><![CDATA[First I'll tell you a kind of pointless little story about my dorkiness. I wanted to present on Robert Browning's "Porphyria's Lover" because the title reminded me of the name of one of my pens from high school.&nbsp; You see, I tend to name inanimate objects if they're special to me.&nbsp; The pen was only special because it was given to me by one of my best friends and it had a beak and sunglasses (obviously that makes it super]]></summary>

Haiman, Best Practices for Newspaper Journalists &nbsp; Something seems amiss in the fact that there are legal repercussions for bad drivers but not bad reporters; however, conditions of First Amendment rights are extremely complex when it comes to our "societal privileges." &nbsp; From this news writing course I've learnt that journalism is capable of an exceptional amount of damage when attention to fairness and ethics is not dutifully]]></summary>

<title>THE CRIMSON </title>
    <summary>After looking through the site, what I liked most were the photographs and videos. they help to tell stories that would be super lame in print, such as, Cambridge is pretty in the fall. Instead, there are pictures that prove to me that Cambridge is pretty in the fall. http://www.thecrimson.com/gallery/2009/11/19/autumn-cambridge-photoessay/ The pep rally article was kind of stupid. Enough said. Well, that&apos;s probably because i would prefer to have watched the band they had at last years pep rally. http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2009/11/20/harvard-yale-pep-rally/</summary>

No pain felt she;&quot; (lines 39-41) Was anyone else totally got by surprise when this happened? I was. This is the turning point in the poem (which Roberts may have already said in Ch. 13) for me anyway. Because strangling your lover is the most logical thing to do in that situation (sarcasm).

<title>It&apos;s Getting Cold Outside</title>
    <summary>So put on all your clothes. I much prefer The Cavalier Daily&apos;s website to Harvard&apos;s or Seton Hill&apos;s. The three pictures are really attractive to the eye. There is a lot of white space, but that is ok with me. I&apos;d rather there be white space than overcrowding with text. Everything bold or blue could be clicked on so color was used appropriatly. &quot;Below the fold&quot; was a list of other links by placement in the paper even a picture</summary>
