Tis poem is impossible t follow both by the so called poets rhetorical tone and the flashing words on the screen make it unreadable as well.
From what I got the poet was trying to convey that we no onger are abe to express ourselves online on paper or in voice because of the changes we are going through

Collins and sonnet
Both shakespeare and Collins are mocking their mistress, or their lover. Both give an entire list of reasons and examples of what their wife or lover is like. Although not perfect in the end they both come to the conclusion that their wife's are for Collins, the bread and knife and somehow wine, and shakespeare, no one can compare. Over time lovers can pick out the differences and downfalls of one another but they still have their incomparable virtues that make them who they are.
Both use comparisons to show how they feel about them. Coral is more red than her lips are, she is more like the fish under the bridge. Both negative but end somewhat positively..good can come out of bad in this case
Bill Collins
The poet uses humor to reach his audience. Almost every poem I've read in my lifetime had to always be a serious tone. His diction mimics the poem but in stead of using a serious tone, he makes it. Understandable and funny. All he has to do is take two lines interprate the rest and come up with his own. His tone and language makes fun of the poem, he uses a bland tone which makes it funnier because he is mocking the original poems tone
Dickens's poem
Her poem sounds somewhat sadistic in tone when read aloud. She sounds assertive in getting her point across about how to tell the truth, but not so much the full truth as she implies.
When I said it sounds sadistic it gives well with the poem and the meaning not only because of the way she wants to get her point across, but the meaning of telling the truth with a small lie must be told in the way the poem is written. When you want to make a point you have to be assertive and somewhat cold as her poem sounds, as when you tell a lie you must make it cold and not easily visible
3rd blog fir fre writing
I think the main point that the rapper is trying to get appoint is not to hold things in, but only to let them out when given the chance. Do nit speak when you are not asked to. Speak when spoken to. He says speak what you mean which means do not bullshit your way out of a situation, tell it like it is and not sugar coated at all

The Machine is Using Us
Michaels main point of the film was to show us the uses of the internet and how anything we do can be altered or used by anyone however they do please.
The machine is Using Us id not a literal meaning. At least I think so. I feel the exact opposite. We as humans created the Machine, so in essence, we are the ones using it, not vise versa. We in fact are the ones using other peoples ideas as shown on the video, taking them and adding our own information changing the way they are represented. The video shows how easy it is to do so, especially sites like Wikipedia. With this, there are no ways of telling if the information we are seeing is correct due to the vast amount of users who are able to add their own information about a topic, on that site. People have found the way to, with just the click of a button, distort the views of one, to persuade the views of another. So as I said earlier, It is Us who are using the Machine.

Thursday's blog
1. The readers in the text are both those of new and old age. The ideal of the topic is to grasp a broad range of listeners from 2 different age groups. Those who grew up without these technological advancements, and those who have, preferably the younger generation. Acceptance and tolerance of the new technologies is the main topic of the essay
2. As a reader, and as a group, we were able to pull apart each paragraph relating our experiences, and thoughts on the topic presented, and written about. Not only that but we were able to disect each sentence or word choice we found inadequate, and fill in our own
3. I am a reader who wants to get things done, same applies to my way of writing. I try to locate key and valuable terms to execute the fastest way of finishing my assignments. An example would be to look at any questions about the reading first and try to locate with a pen the precise ideals relating to the questions or topic.
4. Yes I believe as a reader and writer of the same topic I belong in the Text. The reason is as someone participating in the assignment, I have to see which mistakes, if any, are made to not only correct the essay, but mine as well. I also believe as someone growing up in this technological revolution, if you would, I have the say as to my opinion on the topic. I wouldn't want just one side of someones view because they're used to just old plain and simple, I want my peers, as well others, to realize and really empathize the key factors which make me and others my age believe in this revolution

Is Google Making us Stupid?
There were some similarities in the article about Google, and the links between ones deterioration of their mental skills, and the article, The Internet Gets Inside Us.
While comparing both articles, both make similar assumptions about the way the general population reacts to the usage of the website Google. Both exemplify how most people succumb to the ads or pop ups placed by google. Often most people wander off to other websites, straying from the original topic they've entered in the search engine. Gopnik makes the correlation that students today, when faced with a task in hand, turn to the internet for guidance. He uses the example of Hermioney and the iPad when having to research something in class as an assignment. Although Gopnik does not see the internet as a threat, yet rather " a gift" Carr thinks differently. He accuses search engines such as google as a deterioration of the brain, to one day seize and take control of the human mind by becoming so advanced it takes over as he used an example from the movie 2001 a Space odyssey. Although Gopnik does not share the exact ideals on the situation, he gave the example of how people are leaving their daily rituals such as dinner to full their needs with the internet. Although Gopnik and Carr shared somewhat similar accusations, Gopnik seemed rather lenient on the situation, rather paranoid, a bit too paranoid, on the situation.

Google take over
1. Is the author showing more signs of ADD rather the effects of a website trying to take over ourlives
2. Could it be as time goes on and the Internet advances, we become lazier and less motivated
3. If people sought type writers and television as the threat back when they came about, yet adapted, is it possible we will do the same with the Internet
4. Could it be websites like google present more ads and links for the benefit of the user, only trying to give them the greatest majority of information, rather than dumb them down and distract them
5. Are ads and links placed by google to distract the readers attention
6. Is the author a little too paranoid, or do we just not see the threat as we were raised in the technological revolution where as they were raised by different standards

Materialities of Writing
1. When given the task to write with crayons, I at first thought It was going to be a simple grade school assignment due to the relation I had made between crayons and my child hood. When going about finishing the assignment, I realized what more effort had to be put into writing the short response. Normally jotting down a few sentences would take merely minutes with a pen or pencil, but with crayon, you have to select which words you want to use taking up the least room on the paper provided in order to get your entire point across with the room provided. After a while my hand started to cramp up leaving me focusing more on that issue then what else to write next, forcing me to take much longer than anticipated to finish the task.
2. For most of the pages both me, and the people in my group commented on, we all basically jumped to the same accusations. All picking number two, we all stated the best way to describe that paper was to be well written and executed. The individual who wrote it was able to convey and interoperate all messages within Dickenson's poem, but accomplish getting their entire point down on the little space provided on the paper.
3. I feel as if a culture composed entirely of crayons and only that, would be a physically and mentally strain for it's individuals. I feel as if most people would not have the time to write with such large words using a less profound diction to convey their messages, or what ever it is they're writing. Things would be very difficult as well both on they eyes and on the hands, both to read and write due to the soft texture of the crayon leading it to wear out and break so often.
4. Based on using crayon's for the assignment the other night, I would much rather look into a form of free writing. As I prefer pen over pencil, and crayon, I find myself to write down what comes to mind, rather writing out any ideas first and building around that. Writing in free form allows me to use my writing potential to it's fullest without any stops or pauses in-between because when I usually sit down to accomplish something, I tend to not get up, or become distracted until that task is finished

Inventing Nelson L
While observing the Pantene add, the first thing that comes to mind are the shattered pieces of ones life, represented in the shattered violin of the deaf girl. Throughout the ad, you are exposed to a brief overview of 2 girls personal lives. One deaf with no friends, the other a mean girl taking her anger and frustration out on the deaf child, most likely due to the way she is treated at home. I've observed the parents strict tolerance, for the child when making mistakes on the piano. In jelousy she would take it out on the deaf girl, who's life is shown to be a constant struggle.
Each scene for the deaf girl is like a shattered memory, in the end while gaining the courage to get up on stage, her violin, broken by a group of violent peers, was put back together using only tape. This shows how she is able to overcome every bad scene in life, or symbolically, every shard of broken wood from her violin. Unleashing a fury in the end, whether she was playing, or what was inferred an act of her overcoming all obstacles in life, the audience applauded, showing her overcoming her rival, the girl who only tortured her emotionally for all of her life.
