Enthusiasm Essay **

Last December I took a cake decorating class. I’ve learned that I love to decorate cakes. I love being creative, working under pressure, and I love to bake. I learned a lot of new things, mainly new or better ways to make or decorate cakes. I enjoy making cakes; it’s like my stress reliever. Anytime there is a family event or a birthday party, my boyfriend and I always have to make the cakes.I always have to be positve that the entire cake looks awesome. Soon I will be taking another class on decorating cakes I think my second class will be better than my first. When I get out of high school I plan to go to the Institute Of Art and Design in Tampa. I’m very excited and hopefully all will go well.

Meditation 17 and I am a Rock. John Donne’s Meditation 17 and Paul Simon’s I Am A Rock In “Meditation 17” and “I am a Rock” there are very few similarities. When a reader sees the two works together they seem to be completely different. If the reader breaks the stories down and analyzes them, they have a couple literary similarities. In John Donne’s “Meditation 17” he states that nobody is ever all alone, that “ no man is a island…everyman is a part of the continent.”. In “I am a rock” Paul Simon says “I am alone”. He says that he’s a rock and a “rock feels no pain”, and that he’s an island “and an island never cries.” “Meditation 17” is very religious. John Donne says “God is his only security”. Paul Simon simply says “I have my books and my poetry to protect me.” Even though there are many ways that the two works differ, there are a few similarities that they share. In the beginning of both of the works they are both gazing out of a window down towards the streets .The tone of the two are very different in “Meditation 17” the tone is soft and calm where as in “I am a Rock” the tone is depressing. In conclusion, Even though “Meditation 17” and “I am a Rock” were written about 300 years apart they still share little similarities. I believe that the lesson to be leaned in these particular works is that you should live life carefully because you never know what tomorrow will bring.
