Snow White- Creative Project
I chose Snow White because I enjoyed reading the fairy tale in Anne Sexton's Transformations. I like how she demonstrated how women typically are more easily dragged into things. We are sensitive and feel like we can trust anyone and everyone when in reality we cant. In my opinion, her version of snow white also demonstrates the traditional role of men; taking care/ protecting women and working. This was shown by the seven dwarfs.

Dare to Love
Eliana Osborn
The reason I chose this story was because the title itself grabbed my attention since my anotholy involves several love pieces. I enjoyed the short story because as I hope to someday start a family of my own, I have to realize that it is not a one day thing. Having a baby can have plethora of difficulties, God forbid, but a child can inhance diceases beacause they are new to everything. This mother seems to feel guilty for her baby's health problems. She feels as if she caused his asthma because of her struggles during her short pregnacy. Seeing a baby in these conditions is difficult to live put one must surpass all obstacles to the best of their ability.

FULL MOON!
Oh Ms. Moon. Tonight, you shine so bright. As I watch you through my window while I lay in bed, i think of the positive things in life and all I have been through. Your blue halo stands out when I give you a blank stare. You, Madame, allow me to turn my favorite night light off--your natural light keeps me safe on cold and lonley nights. As i watch you here from land, others are watching Mr. Sun. I admire you for being able to watch over so many souls at once. Your lights aluminates those in the streets who suffer from lack of shelter. I am sure they also have thoughts similar to mine as they watch you. Oh Ms. Moon.

A Winter Walk
It was a dark snowy night and many habitants were out taking a walk. the snow was like cotton balls spread all over the ground and covering tree tops. Dangerous as it is to be out in this weather, some people enjoy is while others have no other choice. Those covered in white blankets have no transportation and must run errands. The others are simply taking a stroll in the park admiring the snowflakes above and all around them. Towns people have different thoughts about what should be done during what weather.

Don't You Wanna Stay by Jason Aldean
I really hate to let this moment go
touching your skin and your hair falling slow
when a goodbye kiss, feels like this
don't you wanna stay here a little while
don't you wanna hold each other tight
don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight
don't you wanna stay here a little while
we can make forever feel this way
don't you wanna stay
lets take it slow i don't want too move to fast
i don't wanna just make love, i wanna make love last
when your up this high, it's a sad goodbye
oh yeah!!! oh it feels so perfect baby.. don't you wanna stay here a little while..
Don't you wanna stay.. yeah yeah yeahhh yeah yeah yeahhh
"Don't You Wanna Stay" can be described as a poem not only because of the ryme it gives in certain verses, but also becasue of the similie in the first stanza. The comparison of a goodbye kiss and the touch of skin and hair falling slow. This song also has deliberate repetition of a phrase in the second stanza which is known as Anaphora. In the 12th verse, "when you're up this high, it's a sad goodbye," we can considered a metaphor; height and a goodbye being described as eachother.
