Preposition poem
Outside the inferno, Looking into flames, Fire grazed my face, Without cringing, Wearing a mournful grin, Tears singe at the gentle touch of the flame’s gentle hands.

[|Tone analysis]
I believe Howard Bloom thinks that Obama has not focused on any long term fixes but instead, he has put resources into fixing things within his term as president. He may also believe that the expectations for Obama were so high that he couldn't possibly achieve them, though it is also his fault for promising so much. I also believe he strongly feels that there is no certainty of what the outcome will be in which we will either sink lower into debt as a county or miraculously rise up and pay it all off, though he believes that the American Spirit will help is when push comes to pull.

Unwind by Neal Shushterman

In truth, the only thing that was appealing about this book to me was that I needed a book and I grabbed one at random.This book takes place in the future in multiple places such as, The "harvest" camp and just on the road, running from the police. Connor who is a relitivly bad kid who just wants to make his parents suffer when he find out he is going to become "unwound". He does doing things such as, giving his parents gifts, behaving and pulling his grades up. After deciding to run away he goes to a truck stop where he hitches a ride to get farther from home. Unfortunately this is all I can say without giving away parts of the story. To be honest I don't know who would like this book, it's an amazing book in all but I can think of any group of people who would like this book.

Extended Metaphor
1) I liked "The Dark Is" poem for the simple fact that I believe that it used the most creative use of words. For example when it says "a swallowed night" it seems unfathomable to think of the possibility of what it could mean. 2) In all of the poems they are all metaphors. They all follow the guidelines to be metaphors, they all are comparing something, whether it may be comfort or darkness to some other object or idea. 3) THUNDER- A blast from a gun, The crackle of wood in fire, The Fourth Of July DARKNESS- Oblivion, When the sun is lost, The stage for the stars COMFORT- A warm fire, Being kept innocent 4) Artist's Block is, A clot in rainbow blood The words of denial sinking in Pessimistic thoughts An pen out of ink A boulder that crushes spirit A creativity coma A broken hand The universe's censorship

Dread -Noun Terror or apprehension as to something in the future; great fear.

When I first saw the word dread I randomly thought of someone, going insane, watching fox news. After that I realized my friend a while back had put up a picture on "Deviantart" of a guy going insane about work and I just decided to ask for permition to use it. Then, once it was granted I edited the photo really quick and added a second layer of the Fox News icon.
