Titanic

Love, a universal emotion that holds together the delicate threads of our existence.
To love we must know ourselves, self awareness is among the man building blocks of
love. Commonly we as people usually gravitate more so to the person of which we have
the most in common with, consequently those who know us the best. Interlocking with
self awareness are our social classes, in which we dwell in daily. Our phylum of people
we choose to surround ourselves with are the people of our social class, typically because
everyone holds the most in common with the person we think we were born to be.
Ironically enough often we find ourselves in a social class where yes, we may have a few
things in common, but the people on the inside are completely different. Usually when
self realization arises, and we discover we no longer fit in our social phylum, panic rushes
in like adrenaline. Against one’s will this person continues to stay in the group where they
are the most accepted, while placing up a façade. Not long after the façade is in place that
the internal conflict arises. Who am I? Who am I supposed to be? Although fearful, but
necessary one must learn to accept the inner new self, in addition to hoping that your
social class will accept this new person as well. Rose the protagonist of Titanic, is faced
with the battle of acceptance. Rose accepts who she is as a person, however her social
class does not. This is the beginning plot line of the story, sadly this excludes the
character’s prior journey to her self discovery, as we are left to infer that one ever such
took place.

Now in old age wise in years, Rose sits down with treasure seekers and begins to
outlay the story which brought her to the person she has flowered. A young girl struggles
to find herself in a world of hypocrisy, and judgmental eyes. During the age of arranged
marriage Rose was to be betrothed to the antagonist Cal. Marriage was not a holy union,
but a means of survival and conveniences. Behind closed doors, Rose’s family were
losing their wealth, consequently the marriage was arranges to save her family from the
shame an embarrassment of being of low income (poor folk). Rose is stuck between
saving her family’s name of wealth, or being true to her inner self. Coincidentally the day
she boards the new vessel the Titanic, another person boards who will forever change her
life. Jack the supporting protagonist is a commoner, and is only on board the ship,
because by chance he won a ticket aboard the vessel. Upon boarding, they meet on the
deck where Jack challenges Rose’s loyalty to her social class, by engaging her in actions
that would be forbidden in their eyes (spitting like a man over the boat). Immediately
Jack can see her for the person that she is, not the group in which she resides in, for this
fact Rose is intrigued by Jack. Jack is a starving artist with an optimistic outlook on life
in addition to owning an adorable smile. Jack is completely confident in his own skin,
and always has a wise remark to those that opposes that about him, Rose admires this
strength in Jack. Contradictory one night at dinner in the grand ballroom, where
commoners do not belong, Rose creates jack into something he is not as if she is creating
him his own façade to match her own. They trade his rags for a quality fine thread count
tuxedo, and attempt to change his entire persona. However Jack is true to the person that
he is, and it is in this scene that we see that Rose truly begins to fall for Jack. We also
take notice that not everyone in this social class looks down upon everyone, there is a woman seated at the table who listens tenderly to Jack and supports his philosophy of life.

Through various characters, ranging from similar to completely different backgrounds,
the director is able to relate to a broader audience with the story’s theme. Great time went
into the motives of each character, and the role they would play in expressing an
underlying message. Rose lies within everyone, that part that’s afraid of rejection, that
seeks the approval of the people that are close to us; this personality which lies within us
can be titles Rose. Jack is that feisty part of ourselves which is confident in all endeavors,
and enables people to do what they love because it makes them happy. Cal is that part of
us that contains the jealousy, and who is secretly a hater. We all contain a little bit of Cal,
but it pertains in how you handle your Cal.

I appreciate you! aka ~Overhead assignment~

I appreciate the person that you are, and will forever remain. Through the times that I just see blankets of despair, you show me the light and a solution to the problem. In my times of weakness you reveal an unknown strength within me I didn’t know I contained. I am a better person because of you, and you have created such an impact on my life. You didn’t try to help me, but you encouraged me to help myself, and I am forever grateful, I appreciate you. You’re reliable and trustworthy, and I couldn’t ask for a better companion. I appreciate you for who you are, and the person you will forever remain.

Hurston Project

“Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board.”

What is a dream? Some would say they are images we see in our subconscious when we are no longer in our present state. Contrary, others may say these are the goals we wish to achieve. Dreaming and wishing are the concepts of which we view life. For instance that old cliché, “I wish I had this…” or “If only I had that…” When young children are asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Most of the time they give a far reach answer like Spiderman, or an astronaut, and yes we all smile and giggle and think it’s so cute, however only 65% of children actually become what they anticipated or “dreamed” as a young child. To get to the point of the example dreaming is done from a young age, subconsciously as well as literally. Dreams and wishes are often viewed as motivations. These are the things that keep many people wanting to wake up in the morning to at least achieve their dreams hence dreams are motivations. In this world we can dream as much as we want. To succeed in life, we must act on our desires. Actions speak louder than words. We can’t stay in our current conditions without ever attempting to reach our goals; this is a waste of potential. Tomorrow if you wake up and the dream is not your reality, what have you accomplished? Don’t waste potential.

Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God is filled with an abundance of poetic images, in addition to an underlying story line involving the main character (Janie), and her dreams. Janie is in the direct bloodline of slavery, she lives with her grandmother who in a way of speaking lives through Janie, due to the disappointments of her own daughter. “Dat’s one of de hold-backs of slavery. But nothing can’t stop you from wishin’.” “Ah been through too much if you just take a stand on high ground lak Ah dreamed. Here Nanny is venting to Janie about the life she had planned out for her own daughter. One day her daughter returned from school a raped young woman, which gave Nanny the interpretation that she had failed of giving her daughter the dream. This dream was an opportunity to choose her own path as an African American woman. Slavery ripped women of their feminine qualities and their voice, as a woman let alone a black woman you knew your role in society, in addition to knowing that men would manipulate you, and use you. “Ah was born back due in slavery so it wasn’t for me to fulfill my dreams of whut a woman oughta be an to do.” (Hurston 16) Nanny dreamed (the underlying theme) that Janie overcome slavery, and rise to become her own woman. She didn’t live in a small plantation house like other blacks; she went to school, and even wore decent clothes like the other white children. It wasn’t until she saw an image of herself did she learn that there was a difference in race, and color. Although Nanny just wanted to give Janie the life she never had, in a way she contradicts herself. Nanny wanted to make Janie into the woman that she felt suitable; however she didn’t consider that Janie had a different interpretation of how she wanted to pursue her life. Nanny wants to make Janie into her own respectable person, but at the expense that the person she becomes is in the vision or likelihood of her grandmother. Janie didn’t want to get married, Nanny just wanted to make sure that she would be taken care of when she passed on preventing her in not looking after her granddaughter anymore. This isn’t a real woman. Real women don’t need men to look after them; real women are strong willed and can handle any challenge placed in their direction. Janie has this capability, however since she wants to stay in the good graces of her grandmother she becomes vulnerable, and weak minded, and very easy to manipulate. If you don’t use it you lose it, if you don’t use your strong will of mind, it vanishes as quick as it was achieved.

Janie has the ability to dream, as she spent numerous occasions under the pear tree thinking of the life she could one day pursue. Unfortunately throughout her life Janie in a way of speaking is the dummy. Through each of her marriages, she lives through the dreams of her husband, and the image they want her to become. It doesn’t take much to keep Janie happy, however both Logan, and Tea Cake put her on this pedestal as if she demanded to be upon one. When Tea Cake had the idea to move on a plantation like environment, Janie was right there with a smile. Internally Janie knew she was being very introverted, which is slightly confusing as to why she continued to let it occur. Janie had the drive to dream, however lacked the motivation and the potential to achieve such goals.

“Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board.” This quote struck me to think about everyone who dreams, or wishes. Looking at someone dream or life from a distance we often wish for the life they hold. All we see is perfection; this is referred to as the outsider looking in. When you approach someone else’s dream or reality, you see the true meaning of what you once viewed and from that point we determine if we choose to proceed in that direction. Far away there is something that every human being wants, beauty, eternal life, wealth, or fame. It isn’t until the negative exposes itself do we realize that this may not be for us, and at that point every man’s wish is no longer on board.

Persuasive

Meaning:
1) Koch stands on the belief that karma is the overriding factor of your outcome. Meaning what you have done to someone else, something equal or worse shall occur to you. Koch is saying that is a man takes the life of another, then that same man deserves to have his own life taken from him. Punishment should not be light, there cannot be a light sentence available for doing something as gruesome as taking a man’s life just for pure enjoyment. “ Life is indeed precious, and I believe the death penalty helps affirm this fact.” (Koch) This is said in response to the argument or suggestion of a lighter sentence than the death penalty. Cold blooded killers are more likely to commit the same crimes if their sentence is easier. It’s harder to make a judgment on whether to kill a man, when your own life is in jeopardy as well.
2) Each debate over capital punishment somewhat coincide with each other, but yet contradict. On one point capital punishment is just to be used as a “scaring” method, because killing people is wrong, however if a man kills a man then he must die in the chair. The second statement supports Koch’s thesis in terms of what you do to another comes back upon yourself at a later date.

Purpose and Audience:
1. Koch did not create this essay, or offer his viewpoints on such a controversial issue to enable his acceleration, or popularity in the poles. Koch is aware of the publics lack of support of capital punishment but states, “ Admittedly capital punishment is not a pleasant topic. However one does not have to like the death penalty in order to support it.” ( Koch paragraph 6) Koch is bluntly stating that no matter how one feels about the death penalty right is right and wrong is wrong meaning, yes it may be wrong for killing a man “Thou shalt not kill”, however is it correct to let these same people continue to roam the streets, and take up space in our prisons?
2. Reading the first two paragraphs you can infer that Koch is anticipating that people are going to deject the idea of the death penalty. Consequently he opens up with gruesome stories to have the readers feel empathetic towards the victims, which strikes the thought of how they can resolve crimes like this occurring again. He questions the morality of the people by stating that we are being taught about what’s right and wrong by hard core criminals. Should we not be the one’s to tell them what they did wrong, and hand out the consequence?
3. Koch is prompting his readers to grow a back bone and put the wrong doers where they belong. Criminals have questioned the morality of the accusers by questioning, “ What makes you better than me.” As humans we take this into consideration and often feel a sense of guilt. You are consequently placed on the same level as the defense. They bring you to their level in hopes that you won’t step up; taking responsibility and doing the “right” thing.

Method and Structure:
1. Emotional- “Everyone wants his or her rights, and will defend them jealously.”
Ethical- “The Bible is our greatest source of moral inspiration”
Rational- “When we protect guilty lives, we give up innocent lives in exchange.”
Most effective: Rational, because it basically is a worst case scenario, but at the same time realistic enough because there is truth behind the argument.
Least effective: Ethical is the least effective, because everyone has different standards to what is considered ethical and unethical. For example an atheist would not find the Bible ethical which holds the argument, “Thou shalt not kill.”
2. Syllogism- 1. “Killing people is wrong…. It was no different whether it’s citizens, countries, or governments. Killing is wrong.
2. “Killing is wrong when I did it. Killing is wrong when you do it. I hope
You have the courage and moral strength to stop the killing.
It’s validity cannot be taken into consideration as means to be taken seriously, because these are criminal who are in a state of attempting to save his life. Is it really morally correct to take the advice of a man who not long ago took the like another? A man cannot change in the short period of time to conform to a pure new way of life. Honesty now comes into question.
3. Koch goes proceeds on my stating that capital punishment is barbaric and inhumane. Instantly he links his argument by altering it slightly, yes the death penalty can be performed inhumane, but yet it is necessary to get rid of those who are causing problems to our societies. I don’t find this part of his argument convincing, because he comes across as if he is contradicting himself, and unsure of which platform he should take.
4. 1. “ One does not have to like the death penalty to support it any more than radical surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy in order to find necessary these attempts at curing cancer.
2. If the penalty for rape were lowered, clearly it would signal a lessened regard for the victims’ suffering, humiliation, and personal dignity.
The first example is set to establish that like a disease death is an illness. Not capital punishment, however more so of the death that derives because of it. Like chemotherapy capital punishment is set in place to get rid of the murderers who burden society, however like chemotherapy there is always a downside to the outcome.

Wealth

Monetary excel is ultimately predominately the goal of many American. “I think it fair to say that the current ardor (emotion) if the American faith in money easily surpasses the degrees intensity achieved by other societies. (Lapham) Here he is establishing the different views of money globally. Americans take money for granted to be blunt. Life has seemed to turn into the materialistic; people are trying to roll around on 22s while many of our third world countries are filled with starving children, and people of all ages dying of diseases. Where are our priorities? “We are at a loss to know how to hold its majesty at bay…” (Lapham). I full agree with this statement. Money is a very powerful tool which we base our survival around. Without money our economy and society as we know it would become non existent. Americans priorities are not in tact when it comes to money which is the key thought of Lapham.

Wealth can be defined in many different terms globally. Traditionally wealth is viewed as having an abundance of money. Many people often mistake materialism as wealth. You can be broke, and own a Lamborghini, which would force you to live in you car; or you can hold a lot of money only purchasing your necessities. Do not infer that because one has nice things they have an abundance of money, materialism, and wealth are two different definition, however they do coincide with one another. Materialism is a way to display one’s “wealth (if this in fact could even be considered wealth), but what about our internal state? “The visible signs of wealth testify to an inward state of grace.” (Lapham) I don’t feel this statement reveals any truth. How one is internally in no means reflects the person they appear to be on the outside. Externally one could be drenched in the finest silk, but on the inside feel very alone with a void.
Money in this essay was represented in a way that it contained spiritual entities. Money in no way coincides with religion or spirituality. A man living in a landfill can be just as religious man living in the most beautiful palaces. Money does not determine your rank or who deserves to be spiritual. Spirituality is that personal relationship between oneself and that spiritual being. Who are we to put a price on that? “Balance the desire for wealth against the other claims of the human spirit.” Spirit knows no status. Money does not keep the spirit pure. Can you buy your way into Heaven?

Intellect and wealth don’t at all relate with one another. “In the United States a rich man is perceived as being necessarily good, and wise.” This statement is somewhat true, obviously because such a person has attained such an abundance of money infers he has either invested wisely, maturely monitoring his expenses. Or they could jus be people who hustle or do anything just for attention until they are paid just to bring undignified attention upon themselves for money.

We as American often do misinterpret the value of the dollar. We try to put a price on un materialistic things such as spirituality. I agree with Lapham that America has treated money in properly. As a nation we could invest wisely and help those surrounding nations that desperately need assistance. Where are our priorities?

Trifles

Huh? What in the world?! I just completed Trifles by Susan Glaspell, and frankly I’m
not sure whose crazier Mrs. Wright or myself for trying to understand why she performed
such odd tasks. Trifles’ story plot consists of a murder that was performed upon Mr. John
Wright, and clues are being sought out as to how such a crime could have been
committed. Immediately the first person under conviction is Mrs. Wright. During a
night’s allegedly a person entered there bedroom where Mr. Wright was strangled with a
rope. Peculiarly Mrs. Wright does not awaken from such a travesty, because she claims
she is a sound sleeper. Would not the vibrations from the body of a struggling man
awaken you? Mrs. Wright is taken in for questioning, and her house is searched for any
sort of evidence that may lead to the solving of this case, Mrs. Hale, and Mrs. Peters are
left in the gloomy kitchen reflecting, as the attorney and sheriff search the house.

Plays are movies on paper. In order to creatively capture your audience, you must
strategically create mental pictures with colorful language, and vivid imagery. Every
slight gesture is explained. There is a huge distinction between rubbing your chin, vs.
rubbing one’s chin in an empathetic thought. Glaspell made sure that every action was
derived from an emotion. There was not an instance when a character performed a simple
gesture without a history of events leading up to its climax. “It looked… [Stops, his face
twitches]… but Harry, he went up to him.” (pg. 7 line 7) Hale is reflecting on the
moment, when John’s (Mr. Wright) body is uncovered. The facial twitch bought a sense
of naturalness to the scene. Anyone’s first natural reaction to uncovering a dead body
would be one of shock; his facial twitch was that moment of shock and vulnerability.
Hale most likely was in a vulnerable position, imagine going to a friend’s house, and you
open the door to find their significant other sitting there in silence only to inform you that
they are dead. What are you to do? This element of human nature through gesturing
keeps the audience in tune with the characters in thinking that they are just human; as
humans we are all universally relatable.

Props are used as a way to keep the audience engaged in the events that are occurring.
In addition they often may be used as a symbol, or a way of communicating an overall
idea to the audience. In the kitchen, the objects, or props were arranged in a way to make
them appear un kept, and carelessly overlooked. The kitchen contained dirty pots and
pans, a loaf of bread that was forgotten about outside the bread box, and chores left un
completed; this added to the tone of the room being gloomy. The stove inside the kitchen
contained a fire that shed warmth to the room. This warmth was once the happiness that
was felt within the home, before it took its final toll of being considered a gloomy place.
The fire is comforting, and sheds light on the dark spaces of the kitchen. Mrs. Wright was
found in the kitchen sitting in the cold as if it did not disturb her, as if she had been so
used to such a chill atmosphere that she had soon fallen immune to its effect. The fire was
somewhat of a reminder that at one point this house was once filled with warmth and
love, when the fire dies out so will the memories. Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters soon
uncover that Mrs. Wright had been working on a quilt. Mrs. Hale begins to pull a stitch
out of the quilt, because it is not lined as neatly, crisply, and precisely as the other
stitches. This false stitch is peculiar, because she was a wonderful homemaker; she was
amazing at making preserves, and made several jars, her beautiful quilt spoke for itself at
how talented of a homemaker she had resulted. The stitching did not become uneven until
she became nervous. This shows a caring vulnerable side to Mrs. Wright despite how she
was originally presented. Mrs. Wright was first introduced as sitting in a cold room,
hemming her apron as her husband’s cold body lay dead upstairs; the fact that she became
nervous indicated that she did have an overcoming feeling of nerves. At the end of the
day Mrs. Wright is not completely heartless. While fondling the quilt the women decide
on what items they will be taking Mrs. Wright, they look in the cupboard for some simple
sewing appliances, and uncover a birdcage whose door had nearly been torn off the
hinges. Despite the fact that the bird is missing, which shows that someone was careless
in its upkeep, the bird cage shows what a beautiful personality of Mrs. Wright. During the
introduction of the birdcage, they refer to Mrs. Wright as Minnie Foster, a woman who
always dressed fashionably, and contained a beautiful spirit. They compared Minnie
Foster to the canary, (“-- real sweet, and pretty, but timid and -- fluttery. How -- she -- did
-- change.”) (pg 22 Mrs. Hale) Minnie Foster can be thought of as the alter ego of Mrs.
Wright. When the women speak about a cold hearted topic such as murder they refer to
Ms. Foster, as Mrs. Wright; however when they speak of what a beautiful voice she
contributed to the choir they refer to Mrs. Wright, as Minnie Foster. As the women peer
into the sewing basket they uncover a beautifully decorated box. Slowly opening the box
they uncover something wrapped delicately in silk. Unwrapping the object with great
care, they discover that the box was turned into the final resting place for the canary. This
is the climax of emotions for the women. Does this mean that she actually plotted killing
her husband in such a quiet manner? The canary indicates that it may have been used as a
practice run before the actual killing of her husband; this is inferred because the canary is
uncovered with a neck that is snapped. The canary symbolized Minnie Foster, as a
beautiful woman, and then somehow down the road ended which in turn transformed into
Mrs. Wright. In the end women stick together, and the women conceal the box containing
the container from the men, deep in their hearts they want to believe she is innocent.

Trifles was a great play with a very compelling overall message for the audience. In
the end you are only going to have your female race behind you. Women have stuck
together through thick and thin for centuries. Slave mothers bonding over the loss of a
child, outraged political women bounding together to make one voice in order to gain our
rights, or even just walking three days to support each other in the fight against breast
cancer. Mrs. Peters and Hale remained on the side of Mrs. Wright even after she was
suspected of murder. Just as John Wright, men come and go, but your women will be
there for you till the end. “We girls have to stick together.” (Melanie Wanderer)

Iris/ Glory Box/ Ghetto Heaven

Iris

I’d step away from my future to feel you
Because I know that you’ll be there to embrace
You’re my Heaven on Earth and above
I don’t want to die in this moment

All my senses are of yours in this instance
And all I need to survive is your well being
One of these days our lives shall end
Tonight please stay beside me

Shielding myself from judgmental eyes
No one understands the being of my life
Things are made to be of imperfection
See me through the clouds of my storm

Don’t try to sympathize when you have no sympathy for me
There can never be blatant honesty in your empathy
Everything is surreal to good to be true
You need the obvious to be stated just to remind you of reality

Shielding myself from judgmental eyes
No one understands the being of my life
Things are made to be of imperfection
See me through the clouds of my storm

Shielding myself from judgmental eyes
No one understands the being of my life
Things are made to be of imperfection
See me through the clouds of my storm

Shielding myself from judgmental eyes
No one understands the being of my life
Things are made to be of imperfection
See me through the clouds of my storm

See me through the clouds of my storm
See me through the clouds of my storm
See me through the clouds of my storm

Even though the lyrics were changed the meaning remained the same throughout the entire piece. In the original piece the tone is very romantic like. It give off the feeling that this person really needs their significant other in their life. In my piece, it is more focused about becoming one, and possibly losing yourself while loving the other person.

Glory Box

Drone with childhood actions
I’m ready to stop my grownup games
I’m ready to fall in love
The other women can flirt all day
I’ve been playing the tease long enough

I need..

I demand a reason to give you my heart
I need a reason to stop being a girl
I just want to grow up

From now on I’m free to be a woman
Looking at myself in a new light
In my new mindset
Anything is possible to achieve
Watch me make the unimaginable possible

I demand a reason to give you my heart
I need a reason to stop being a girl
I just want to grow up

Remain the man that my woman needs
When things get hard look at what I’ve achieved
Show compassion of your feminine side
It’s ok to shed your emotions

I demand a reason to give you my heart
I need a reason to stop being a girl
I just want to grow up

This is a new chapter in my permanent life

Watch me make the unimaginable possible

Although the sentences are changed, the meaning remains the same. In the original piece it is more of a questioning of becoming a woman. In my version of the song it is more demanding. She wants to become a woman, and she wants to grow up, and she won’t settle for less.

Ghetto Heaven

Looking for my diamond in the rough through the rough
Young girl catching my eye with they tender body's
Diverting my attention away from the path of forever terminology
I got my soul on salvation
I want my people to escape the rags of poor
Mother of my child is now a ghost
No worries sweet child I’m your guardian angel
Staying in tune with the vibes of nature
The Lord is always guarding us
Children look up to a generation for role models
Never mistake the wisdom of a man that’s lost his way
Even though tragedy strikes our nation can get worse
I walk through life with God forever there to save me
I feel like I just need to kill these feelings
I wasn’t put on this Earth to kill
I want people to remember my name with pride
I want to be greater than the material things
He found his diamond in the rough through within him and God

Sweetness of the rough
Committed to the sweetness of the rough
Sweetness of the rough
Committed to the sweetness of the rough
Ghetto…

Happiness doesn’t derive from the accompany of love
Women be dependant on your own don’t rely on a man
I empathize with you that men can be your rock
Taking care of your material things, and treating you as such
I remember a friend who didn’t know about love
His man wasn’t able to love her because the problem derived within himself
He loved her from a distance and claimed that the love was felt
You cannot find true love until you find yourself
Mistakes are just solutions that teach you to become a better person
Do not turn from love because of the wrongs of one man
To get the love a woman needs, you must be willing to wait
At this point of time your patience shall be rewarded
When going through hard times its best to have people around you
Sweet angel he’s now a ghost, but I don’t mind losing your father you’re worth more
You have more value than anything priceless
To be the great person you have become he had to leave…let him go
I’m not ignorant to the fact that he’s left us alone without his love
Find your peace within yourself and God

My heart is with my baby
As my baby’s heart is with me
I’ lonely in the peace I have found in myself
In an instant I need my time of sweet roughness
Time for my peace of sweet roughness
Peace of roughness, peace of roughness
I’m in need of peace
I’m ready for my place of peace, ohhhhhh….

The words I’m speaking our bigger than my being
Music is what makes my soul happy
Having to deal with wanna bee’s and the girls with no clue
There are times in my life that are hard to get through
Choosing words to influence people around the world
I love doing something of my passion to support my family
Remaining to take care of your brothers who are in trouble
Reminding everyone of the messages our ancestors wanted to influence us
It’s hard to live up to the wisdom of our ancestors
I recognized how I wanted to build my success… the honest way
I didn’t want to sell out, because music is my art
I hope to didn’t take the easy way out, and hoped for the best
No matter from what walk of life we all have to go through it
Going through the hard times in life without music is unfathomable
It’s like trying to rely on multiple people
Find your place of peace in this music and God
Find your place of peace and God
Find your place of peace and God

Both the original, and my version resemble each other greatly, however in my version it is more explanatory. In the original versions, things are said more for the sake of the flow, and not for the sense of comprehension. In my piece the tone is set for a change to arise. It’s a problem solution type of story line, problems are stated with the repetitive solution that you must find piece within yourself.
