Wallace Stevens lived from 1879-1955 and wrote from 1914-1955. Wallace wrote mostly poems and some essays. He is apart of the modernist genre. I believe his purpose for writing was to get his thoughts out of his head and to express what he was feeling in an artistic way. I really enjoyed reading through some of Stevens pieces and the rhyming scheme he uses in all the poems I read made it easy to read but the content made you think. I am amazed at the diction he uses in his poems, the words he chooses are complex but powerful. My favorite poem by Stevens is "A Postcard from the Volcano" and my favorite Wallace Stevens quote is "It can never be satisfied, the mind, never." 

MAPLAN

My MAP Plan is to do the project just like the one Dr. Preston made years back. The way I'm going to hack it is use pictures whenever I can to get a point across more clear.



Edited
I changed the way I was going to do the project. I decided to do a Prezi because I think it is more interesting than just answering the questions.

Josie College

Today for English we went into the Career Center at our school. I really love talking about what my future is going to be like even though I am not sure what I want my career to be. I do want to go to a big-ish, co-ed school that has warm weather and scenery. I want to go into a field with business or design but I have a challenge on what I want to major in and how far from home I want to go. Getting ready for college is a good opportunity to make a big decision in your life that sets you up for the rest of your life because you aren't completely alone if you have your family supporting you.
