The solemn hour（Final)

The solemn hour

When I looking at sky I can feel the human is tiny under this sky, and we are vulnerable. In the life we will have many uncontrollable factors, even the life become too hard to make same as our ideal we still need to live bravely. In people's life it contains many things, but the troubles will be the most unforgettable memories. In the life everyone will face on many difficulties, such as laugh from other, weep, wander, and die. So should we just give up? Until I read the poem “the solemn hour” which is describe about the people are facing on difficulties which happened in people's daily life. I think the main idea of the poem is when people though the difficulties, everything will become better. The poem "Solemn Hour" by Rainer Maria Rilke contains the imagination connection with the real world to suggest that no one's life is full of the difficulties, so never give up even life too hard for now.

The poem of solemn hour is a normally short poem. Also it only has sixteen lines with four stanzas. "What is solemn hour?" When I first time saw the title, the question appeared in my mind. The solemn hour is usually in some grand event, such as concert and funeral. From the title of this poem I can know it is serious poem. However this serious poem not only contains many truths, but also makes the readers to think about their life. In the beginning of the each stanzas, the speaker use “whoever now... somewhere in the world,” I think because of these kind of sentences made the whole poem become more interesting. Also in the second line of each stanza the speaker use "... without reason in the world/night," from this kind of sentence the poem made readers think much deeper. In every stanza the speaker not only used the almost same words and same rhymes, but also gave the readers more deeply feeling. Also, these make the poem sounds beautiful and attract readers’ attention.

Difficulties are the parts of people daily life. Difficulties are not only a bad pressure for people but also it is a special experience for people. In the first sentence of the poem the speaker wrote “whoever now weeps somewhere in the world,” when I first time saw his sentence it gave me a big impact, and it also make me want to keep reading to found answer of why the people weeps in the world? However the speaker gives the answer in the second paragraph “weeps without reason in the world,” when I first read this I did not understand this sentence. Until I read the third sentence “weeps over me.” I suddenly understand all the things, when the speaker face some difficulties seem like everyone on the world is weeping over him. On the second stanza the speaker wrote the similar sentence “Whoever now laughs somewhere in the night, laughs without reason in the night, laughs at me.” In my opinion when the speaker failed on something, it like everyone is laughing on him. The first stanza and the second stanza are talking about the speaker’s experiences. However in the third stanza the speaker wrote “Whoever now wanders somewhere in the world, wanders without reason in the world, wanders toward me.”  I think the meaning of this stanza is when people face the difficulties and they were confusion about the difficulties, do not give up everything will become better. “Whoever now dies somewhere in the world, dies without reason in the world, looks at me.”In the last stanza the speaker wanted to let the people who gave up by himself and wanted to end his own life to looks at the people who is succeed. No one can succeed without going through difficulties.

In conclusion "The solemn hour" for me is a special poem, because it includes the most important thing in life. The poet did not use any long or hard words, and it did not have any long sentences in the poem, but it still made the readers learned a lot from those easy lines and easy words. I love this poem, because "The solemn hour" is an interesting poem it use many easy words to tell reader do not give up when some problems happened in the life. I think the speaker try to say no matters who are you or no matters what you had when troubles came to your life do not give up even you are weeping and others are laughing at you, because everything will be better. No one's lives are full of the troubles, so no one's lives are not having any troubles. Also do not be afraid of the difficulties in life, because difficulties are the parts of the life. 

Thesis

The poem "Solemn Hour" by Rainer Maria Rilke contains the imagination connection with the real world to suggest that no one's life is full of the difficulties, so never give up even life too hard for now.

peer review

       I read Chantelle's poem analysis, and she chooses the poem is Baby's World. Baby's World is written by Rabindranath Tagore. The poem is like just like its name, because it describes a Utopian world. The poem is soft and easy makes people feel comfortable just like lie into a cradle. In her first paragraph she did a great job at to describe her poem. She used many adjective words to the poem, and she makes connection with real life. Also she pointed out the reason why this poem is different with normal poem. In the second paragraph she wrote about the some deep meaning of the poem, and she did a good job on this part. She contains many information and some guesses to describe the deep meaning of the poem. I think her third paragraph is the best, because she explained every sentences of the poem. Also she wrote about her understanding of the poem. In my opinion this part is her best part. In her analysis she focused on the meaning of the poem, and in her explanation parts everything is specific and accurate. She also wrote about the rhythm scheme of the poem. However the analysis still has some part can be improved, such as grammar mistakes.

       There have many grammar mistakes in her analysis. The past tense is the biggest part, for example "The writer uses baby as a significant figure of innocent, clear, and cute." In this sentence the word "use" should be in past tense. Also there are some sentences make me confusion "Reading this poem makes me remember my childhood when I had to trouble, and no pressure."and "He never needs to worry friends leave him because stars are always with him." These sentences might have some grammar mistakes. I think the grammar is not the most important problem on her essay. In her first paragraph I can not to find the thesis statement in her first paragraph. Thesis statement is one of the most important things of an essay, because if without thesis the reader can not understand what the author wanted to say. Also in her first paragraph is not very attractive enough, so when I first time read her first paragraph it did not attract me attention. The last problem is her conclusion. The conclusion is too short to conclude this essay, because two sentences can not conclude her essay. I think her might can to use the connection of her life or her experience to conclude the whole analysis, because this can make her analysis become more interesting. After all she wrote a good analysis for her poem the Baby’s World.

        In conclusion, her analysis is really good. I think her two body paragraphs are the best parts of her analysis, so I think she can makes the thesis statement based on her body paragraphs. For the grammar just be careful on the tense. After all the most parts of this essay are perfect, so just add a strong thesis on the first paragraph and more sentences on conclusion.

The human is tiny under this sky; we are vulnerable. In the life we have many indisciplinable factors, even the life is too hard to make same as our ideal we still need to live bravely. Most of people contain many things in their life. Also in life everyone will face on many difficulties, such as laugh from other, weep, wander, and die. So should we just give up?

In the beginning of the each Satanists, the speaker use “whoever now...somewhere in the world”, I think because of these kind of sentences made the whole poem become more believable.

No one can succeed without going through difficulties. 

Theater review

Theater review

     This Saturday I went to the black box for watching a new theater. The new theater contain many different parts of the shows, and it is a comedy show, called "Comedy Tonight". This is the most interesting show I ever seen. The most amazing thing is all the shows were directed by students and Mr. Porter. This is my first time watched show which was made by students. Also this is my favorite theater in this year, because when I was watching this theater it attracted me all the time. I was planed to watch this show on the Friday, because on the Friday I was too sleepy then I over slept the show. Fortunately on the Saturday had sits, so I did not miss the most interesting and funny show in this year.

     I think the best part of the show is the morning meeting. In this show I saw my daily life, and what just happened around our life in Cheshire Academy.  I love this show most, because I can found myself or my friends or my teachers or other people who was around my life in this show. I think this show is the best, because everyone laugh and clap in this show and can easily to understand this show. All the actor did their best in this show, so it make people feel like really morning meeting in our daily life. Also each teachers they acted like real, such as Ms. Minahan, Ms. Anderson, Mr. Dykemen, and Mr. Porter. In my opinion, John Jiang is the best actor in this theater. Not only he is a my friend but also when John played Mr. Dykemen most like real. 

     This is best show I ever seen. I can not believe the actors of this show are my friends. This is the most interesting show I ever seen. I can not believe this show are near to my daily life. This is the most amazing show I ever seen. I can not believe this show grab all my attention. I love this show, this is my favorite show!

Music of poem

Let me hear 

I choose this Japanese music for the poem, because the poem that I choose doesn't include the happy meaning. Also the words of this poem shows the poem is dejected. Because of the poem has a sad meaning, so I can not use happy or romantic music. Let Me Hear is a good choice, because it has the similiar meaning with the poem I chose

The poem that I choose

Solemn Hour
A poem by Rainer Maria Rilke

Whoever now weeps somewhere in the world,
weeps without reason in the world,
weeps over me.

Whoever now laughs somewhere in the night,
laughs without reason in the night,
laughs at me.

Whoever now wanders somewhere in the world,
wanders without reason out in the world,
wanders toward me.

Whoever now dies somewhere in the world,
dies without reason in the world,
looks at me.
