Frankie and Johnny

The song Frankie and Johnny turned out to be amazing. Today was my first time hearing it, and I learned a lot from it. After hearing the song the first time, and then listening to it again with the lyrics made me aware of what the writter of the song was trying to convey to the listeners. Several quotes such as "I saw your Johnny 'bout an hour ago, with a gal named Nellie Bly" really opened my eyes to new horizons about things. I took the time to try and figure out why the song was written? If I had the oppurtunity to handle the situation, I would have been really hurt if my boyfriend/husband treated me in that manner, but not have reacted in such a way. Some things that I would have done differently would have been, left from the saloon when I found out about what was going on. After leaving I would have went home and prayed about the problem. In the bible, it says to respect and love others with all your heart. So by Johnny doing wrongful, I would have thought to myself that karma comes around. I think as whole, my class really enjoyed this activity. As we got together in groups, we were able to discuss with one another wat we think the main idea of the song was? The top (3) questions that my group came up with was: "If there was no moral to this song why was it written? "Why would Frankie continue to butter up the situation if she knew he had done her wrong? and last "Why did Johnny have an affair? Was Frankie not good enough?Reviewing different parts of literature express ones feelings. Personally I think that authors write to express their inward feelings about their past experience or what is currently going on in their life. "He was her man, but he did her wrong." I strongly believe that if you truely love someone then your reactions would not let you trat your spouse with disrespect. On the other hand, I beg to differ that this story was not written without a moral. Last but not least, I think that if I had someone that thought they were lovers and the tragedy ended in this way, I would be there as a comforter and friend to lead them in the direct path. I think this was a great song , and it can really be beneficial if you take the time to understand what it is exactly about!

Literary profile of yourself

My earliest memories of literature took place when I was a little girl at the age of 7 years old. My mother and father would often swap between one another to read one of my favorite books of all times "Green Eggs and Ham." I loved this particular book by Dr. Suess so much that everytime we went out for morning breakfest I would ask the serever if I could order "green eggs and ham." On the otherhand one of my well known nursery rhymes would have to be, "Hush little baby..." Either listening to that nursery rhym on tape or my parents singing it to me, that song always put me at ease and gave me a peace that passed all understanding. I enjoyed this nursey rhyme , and still today I catch myself humming it before I take a test or have a stressful upcoming event. My recent memories to literature was introduced in one of my education classes"The complete Sherlock Holmes." Once again I still find myself "Hush little baby..." and I think I will continue singing this even after I have my children. The best literary text that I have read was To Kill a Mockingbird. I believe that particular story changed my complete perspective on how I look at certain things. Also I after readind it, I take time to think of how others would view the sitation instead of only thinking of myself. I strongly believe that literature matters because people can express their life, and other personal stories that really mattered to them by writting. On the other hand it might not be as important to others because personal stories of others life do not impress them.
