SCHOLAR START:
Use one of these objects to make a metaphor. Or, create a metaphor of your own. I really, really want you to try and develop yours as fully as possible.
We are going to be doing a TP-CASTT (on our own today-GASP!) You can review the slides on Tuesday's post if you need to review. The following is a poem by Petrarch. We will be discussing this poem as well, so please take your work seriously.
Gli Occhi Di Ch' Io Parlai
Those eyes, 'neath which my passionate rapture rose,
The arms, hands, feet, the beauty that erewhile
Could my own soul from its own self beguile,
And in a separate world of dreams enclose,
The hair's bright tresses, full of golden glows,
And the soft lightning of the angelic smile
That changed this earth to some celestial isle,
Are now but dust, poor dust, that nothing knows.
And yet I live! Myself I grieve and scorn,
Left dark without the light I loved in vain,
Adrift in tempest on a bark forlorn;
Dead is the source of all my amorous strain,
Dry is the channel of my thoughts outworn,
And my sad harp can sound but notes of pain.
No matter how nice the shoe, two will always be better than one.

ReplyDeleteSo I got a pair of shoes the other day, and they are just beautiful. They are so amazing that when I wear them I am walking on air. They conform to my feet with the comfort of little itty bitty clouds made just for me.
ReplyDeleteWhen we walk without shoes we lose the wall between the world and ourselves. (Without shoes we can use more of the sense of touch. We can feel the grass or rocks beneath our feet. However, with shoes those feelings are decreased because of the thick rubber between our feet and the ground.)

(They protect your feet from all the surfaces you walk on.) Once they get old or worn, we replace them with new ones. (When shoes get old, we throw them away; like we do with boxes.)
