Efficacious

Isn’t that desirable?

I don’t know how I became so different,

or who has the key to my rib cage anymore.

I never deserved this and

I can tell you my heart’s overgrown

as I walk with a limp.

It’s all portal connections from there.

Sleepless dreams patiently waiting,

The signal has ended.

I’m bound by the knot you made,

I can’t control it

And I am pushed off the edge…

…of the Pacific where the world opens up and Asia can see you across the way when she had almost forgotten who you were but smiles now because age brings wisdom but it also brings need as times pass and people change in strange patterns that could only make sense after you lose control from the swaying of the Trees way back before you or me were ever thought to be and I’ll bet that’s how you think back now as old as you are and how adolescent I have become.

And a word more on efficacious aspirations if I could,

And I will. My karma is swirling,

Like the ice cream melting on my hands.

Soon passion shall consume me.

Without some anchor,

reminding me

why I need to slow it down.

Symbols!! ahhhh

JournalFire. What does is usually symbolize? How does it “work?” What is its purpose?

Burning a Book--William Stafford

Protecting each other, right in the center

a few pages glow a long time.

The cover goes first, then outer leaves

curling away, then spine and a scattering.

Truth, brittle and faint, burns easily,

its fire as hot as the fire lies make –

flame doesn’t care.You can usually find

a few charred words in the ashes.

And some books ought to burn, trying for characterbut just faking it. More disturbingthan book ashes are whole libraries that no onegot around to writing – desolatetowns, miles of unthought-in cities,and the terrorized countryside where wild dogsown anything that moves. If a bookisn’t written, no one needs to burn it –ignorance can dance in the absence of fire.

So I’ve burned books. And there are manyI haven’t even written, and nobody does.

How does this relate to the fireman’s attitude?

MUG shots Journal Poem “Dover Beach” IQ worksheet Get ready for seminar

Journal

Imagine that a school board has voted to ban the novel Fahrenheit 451. Write a letter in which you express your feelings to the board.

“Dover Beach”-- Matthew Arnold

Questions…naturally…

A lyric poem (poetry with rhyming schemes that express personal feelings)

naturalistic and detailed nightscape of the beach at Dover in which auditory imagery plays a significant role

The beach, however, is bare, with only a hint of humanity in a light that "gleams and is gone".

Arnold turns to the action of the tide itself and sees in its retreat a metaphor for the loss of faith in the modern age

Exploring the dark terror that lies beneath his happiness in love, the speaker resolves to love—and exigencies of history and the nexus between lovers are the poem's real issues. That lovers may be 'true/To one another' is a precarious notion: love in the modern city momentarily gives peace, but nothing else in a post-medieval society reflects or confirms the faithfulness of lovers. Devoid of love and light the world is a maze of confusion left by 'retreating' faith."

The poem “Dover Beach”, in the book Fahrenheit 451, was chosen by Ray Bradbury because of its representation of the world. The world in the poem, like the world in the novel, used to have diversity, knowledge, and human connection. Now those qualities are lost.

Both worlds were once “at the full, and round earth’s shore”. They were diverse, complex, and had a great deal of human connection. On page 89, Faber tells Montag about how the world used to be great; with drama programs, newspapers, and other interests. “Like a beautiful statue of ice it was, melting in the sun”.

Censorship and banning booksCensorship is the suppression of ideas and

information that certain persons—individuals, groups or government officials—find objectionable or dangerous.

It is no more complicated than someone saying, “Don’t let anyone read this book, or buy that magazine, or view that film, because I object to it! ”

Censors try to use the power of the state to impose their view of what is truthful and appropriate, or offensive and objectionable, on everyone else.

Censors pressure public institutions, like libraries, to suppress and remove from public access information they judge inappropriate or dangerous, so that no one else has the chance to read or view the material and make up their own minds about it.

The censor wants to prejudge materials for everyone.

Censorship and banning books

Censorship and banning booksThroughout history, books have been challenged

for many reasons, including: political content, sexual expression, or

language offensive to some people’s racial cultural or ethnic background, gender or sexuality, or political or religious beliefs.

Materials considered heretical, blasphemous, seditious, obscene or inappropriate for children have often been censored.

Since the dawn of recorded human expression, people have been burned at the stake, forced to drink poison, crucified, ostracized and vilified for what they wrote and believed.
