Another sonnet for Stephan, Sonnet

  I think that this is a sonnet on how Alvin, the author of the sonnet is close to this Stephan person. I have 3 ideas for what I think Stephan is too Alvin. My first idea is that Stephan is Alvin son because he describes him when he was young and really cares for him. My second idea is that maybe he is going to have a son and he is predicting what will happen to his son later on in his life. I think this one makes a lot of sense because he is using present tense or future tense to describe something that sounds like happened in the past, I knew this because see is a future/past tense word. My final idea is that maybe he grew up with Stephan and grew up to be really close friends and then he saw his friend die. I think this is probably the most realistic option because it sounds real and that he dies from cancer or some heart problem and it just sounds like it actually happened.
 
 I think that this sonnet is really a timeline about what happened between him and Stephan. I think that they first met at age 4 or 5 and then they became friends and played with each other and became really close. Then they either went to the same college or went to different colleges. I think that Stephan went to the same college as him because he can describe how Stephan did in college really detailed. Then I think they got different jobs but they were still really close because he seems to know what Stephan does in his job. Then finally I think that they started to spend more time together because Stephan has some kind of disease, I think its some kind of cancer, and they want to spend some time with each other before Stephan is said to have died. Finally Stephan dies and Alvin writes this sonnet because he wants to remember that close bond they seemed to have shared with each other for their whole life.

The Shark, My sonnet

The Shark is shaped like a blue torpedo
His arrival foreshadows a life lost
It's like a bullet quick and furious
When the fish swim by they are curious
He swims so smoothly, he swims like water
A man named Carter was afraid of it
King of the Ocean but he has no heir
He is worshipped by all fro all fear him

He rules the sea like a mean dictator
He has a mouth full of knifes for his meal
Watch as he eats his human prey tonight
All run from him when his highness appears

Time is running low he is getting old
Humans are bold for trying to change the old

3 Poems

Poetry is
Poetry is beat
Poetry equals freedom
Poetry is yours
What happens when a person gains his freedom
What happens to a person
When he gains his freedom?
Does he drown in the
Sea of unfair laws
Or does he fly like a dove
From a cage?
Does he crash?
Or does he soar?
Or gets preyed on by the
Great eagle?
Does he escape into the
Night
Content and free?
The Blonde
Her hair is like the sun
Yellow and smooth
Like silk
Her smiles
Are perfect
Like the moon
White and shiny
Her eyes are like
Chocolate
Tasty and Brown
She makes the meanest of men
Smile
For she is
Marliyn Monroe

Lavender Marilyn

   Andy Warhol was born in 1928 in Forest Hills, Pennsylvania. He was mostly a pop artist but he also made films, books, and even produced a magazine called the Interview. He had plastic surgery done to his nose in 1957. He moved to New York City to follow his dreams of being an artist in the late 40's. He nearly got assassinated by a women named Valerie Solanisin 1968, he later dies in NYC in 1987 of a failed surgery. He liked to paint famous people and things that have to do with death. Bolton, Linda. Andy Warhol.  Hong Kong: Franklinwatts,2002.


  The artwork I chose is called the Lavender Marilyn. I think that he made certain parts of Marilyn bold because thats what she is noticed for. He was fascinated with death and celebrities so he chose her because she was dead and a famous celebrity. The painting was painted in 1962 and is 20x16 in tall. He first shared his work in November, in 62, but because of that artwork he became a famous artist overnight. Bolton, Linda. Andy Warhol. Hong Kong: Franklinwatts,2002.


   I like his work by showing a statement which I think is that what you like I like so I will paint these things we like. Another statement could be that people usually paint what people want to see so let me paint that but make it in a more creative and strange way. I think he is showing these statements to show that he is like the audience and like most of the audience, wants to be famous. I also think he wanted to paint that painting because he wants to be hip, also he is a pop artist so it would make sense. Also he could of painted that painting to show that even beautiful things must meet tragic ends. He shows this by drawing Monroe who died of drug overdose but was said to be one of the most beautiful people alive at the time.
