Week 1: Poetry

Of all the poems we read, the one that caught my eye the most was the poem titled "Tell me What you Know about Dismemberment", It really made me think about what it meant, A LOT! At the beginning it says "When it rains, the grass is filled with blood", the thought of war and what causes it came to mind; like a terrorists attack or something. The author also speaks of the wombs of Hindu women being cut out after they are raped and placed on a pole. This makes me think of the combat aspect of war. When innocent people are killed, just to prove a point. She speaks of rain and the many different rains at the end of this poem. This made me think of the closing of war and it being added to the history books with all the other wars.

Young Woman with Big Thoughts... Introducing Me.

      Hello everyone! My names Danielle Colestock. I'm from Oregon Ohio, which is right outside of Toledo. I'm a child of 14, consisting of 7 girls and 7 boys. I was also adopted when I just turned 4 years old. October 18, 1999 I'm definitly an introvert, but once you get to know me, you will find out I am a very outgoing person. I love to both read and write. I took a creative writings class in high school and loved it, and I'm hoping for the same effect from this class as well.

   

      Let's see, a few random facts about myself. My favorite color is crimson red. I love to eat chinese food, pizza, and chicken fingers. My favorite drinks are Green Machine from Naked (I have these during classes a lot), Mountain Dew, and also grape flavored water. My favorite book is called "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy, and I also love any book written by Nicholas Sparks. My favorite movies are "The Road", "The Hunger Games", and also a newer one called "The Imitation Game". My birthday is October 16,1995 and I was born in Fort Myers Florida. When I was 15 months old I came to the family that I know call my own. Since then I've lived in Ohio in a few different places in the Northwest, and From the ages of 13 to 15 I lived in Midland Texas. 

    I'm a very visual person, I love to write as I've stated before. I'm big on journaling and venting to paper and pen all the time. I also love to spend my spare time reading books. I'm a huge history freak. My favorite time period to study is WWII because I love the German culture. I love to learn more and more about the holocaust, I love reading books and watching movies about it. I love learning more about not only that but anything that has to do with historical events.

   Well this was a look into my life story. If you would like to get to know me more than I've already shared, feel free to befriend me and ask whatever you would like.
