This entirety of the story portrayed in this poem in on the train/amtrack. The man portrayed was obviously opinionated on what the woman in the poem was speaking about, as displayed as "I could have said." If this poem happened to be a true story, I would be happy and thankful that he decided not to say those words to her, we all have our opinions, however there would be no reason to use that language with somebody, or to be harsh for the sake of being rude.
Something that stood out to me in this poem is the mans general perspective and the way he controls himself. He specifically stated that he was an Indian, so perhaps that would have significance to why he disliked Don Henely, but though he clearly disagreed with some of the things being spoken, he controlled himself and chose not to say those harsh words to her. I wonder if he knew this woman, he brought her back an orange juice from the food cart, I appreciate acts of kindness but it's also possible that they knew each other, or at least have seen each other on the train before, possibly. However, he described her as "the enemy" which makes me wonder what is it about this woman that would make him consider her, "the enemy?"

"Musée des Beaux " homework assignment
I had a very difficult time with this particular poem. It did not make much sense to me at all, I struggled to paint a picture in my head of what I'm suppose to be seeing. The poem seemed, to me, to be pretty chaotic with no definite conclusion.
An aspect about this poem that stood out to me was the general chaos or just a lot of "jumping around" if you will. At one point, the writer is describing children ice skating next to the tree line, then goes onto a tidy corner, dogs "living their doggy life." The main thing that stuck out to me is the fact that I had a difficult time understanding the meaning to this particular poem.

"Woman's Work" homework assignment
This poem appears to be about a mother teaching her child the art of discipline through house hold chores. The mother apparently understands the importance of teaching your child discipline, so that he/she understands that you need to work hard and do your part. It's also important that the child learns not to be lackadaisical in everyday living or any aspect of life.
One of the aspects of this poem that I happened to focus on is that the child was being taught discipline and learning to respect the work of his/her mother. The child view himself/herself as a "prisoner" as he/she heard his/her friends playing outside, but continued to work and stated more than once that her woman's work was "art", acknowledging that the labors done by his/her mother is something to be appreciated. There also seems to be an implication of structure, (how he/she stated "they would clean the whole upstairs" first) to these house chores. These things stood out to be mainly because I believe it's important that a child learns discipline and respects his/her mother and father, learns to self motivated and also that being a hard worker is a strong characteristic and a much needed attribute.

Introduce yourself
My name is Eric Schulte, I am from the St. Louis area and have been pretty much the entirety of my life.
As far as three things to know about me?
One I am a Christian, I try my best to structure my life based off of the teachings of the new testament and continue to grow in my knowledge, understanding and application of the word of God and to serve Him faithfully with whatever amount of time I have left on earth. I love to study the bible independently as well as studying with others who either love the text, or are interested in learning more about the text. I don't have all the answers, but the bible does.
Second, I am an EMT-Paramedic, I have been working as a medic for a little over two years, I currently hold one job in St. Louis and another job in Arnold working for one private EMS service and one local 911 district. I love my job, I really enjoy what I do. While I'm not crazy about the idea of going into nursing, I am not even sure what all of my options are or what direction I'd like to go with it, however it would certainly open doors for various opportunities.
Third, I like the outdoors, I enjoy playing sports, riding bikes, going hiking/camping things of that sort. Fall is arguably the nicest time of year (just in my opinion) and it's a joy to be outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. Although, I am sincerely thankful for a/c during the summer season!
I'm under the impression that the challenges of this class, as far as my abilities go, are going to be preparing for a three essay test in eight weeks when I do not have any serious writing abilities or experience any farther than high school creative writing or an entry level college course of writing. I'm a little intimidated by the idea that I'm not going to get to chose what my writing topics are for the exam, reason being that I'm a little nervous of being expected to write a 500 word essay on a topic that I am not educated on. Hopefully there will be enough information provided that we can all write sufficient essays. As far as overcoming these challenges? I will just plan on working hard in preparation, attend class, pay attention, and learn as much as I'm able in the next 7-8 weeks in combination with a busy schedule and Lord willing, that time will come and I'll be able to move on to the next course for this nursing program.
This class will help me reach my goals in a number of ways, hopefully. If I have this course under my belt, that will bring me one step closer to my RN, and it would probably improve my excessive documentation at work, note taking or any extra curricular type writing/outlines that I make. I am in high hopes that it will also help me in my bible studies, especially in the poetic language used in some of the old testament books, examples such as Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon.

analysis blog
I recently listened to "Carol Of The Bells" by Pentatonix. I first learned of this group last year around Christmas time, this group appealed to me because I really enjoy a cappella music, reason being, you can hear the different tunes and melodies from the various participants working together in harmony. I am impressed with vocal talent and this group seems to have five extremely talented members that work really well together. I enjoy listening to the individuals singing their parts of the song and witnessing the broad range of high to low notes that they are able to hit.
I wondered how long each of these artists have been singing, and how long have they been singing together? If they have not always been singing together, how did they first form as a group? Have they always had a dream to become famous, or did was this an interest sparked by an opportunity they happened to come across? How did they start off, what inspired them to become group of musicians?
According to online research on Wikipedia, the group Pentatonix originates from Arlington, Texas and have been "active" from 2011 to present. According to Wikipedia, this a cappella group started as three high school choir members who participated in an on air radio competition which they did not win, however they were noticed within their high school where the three of them continued to perform. I found that the members were brought together in the college years where they began to perform together and grew into the famous group that we know of today. Ticketmaster fan reviews reveal 5/5 stars, clearly this is a very popular and dynamic group of musicians.
