He had that break through of what he wanted to do and what he wanted to share with his audience.

They both have similarities that share the same vibe and tone.

Something I have been doing while working on the production is trying to be perfect with my work and how I perform. While reading the section Striving for Accuracy, I thought about theatre. During a show, I tend to put all my concentration into it and forget about other things I need to get done such as homework and chores. I put a lot of time and effort into my performance and practice, so when I mess up just a little bit, I get really upset with myself.

Especially with books I don’t enjoy reading or a book I’m not interested in, I tend to get distracted. “While reading from a passage, we sometimes find that our minds wander from the pages. We see the words but no meaning is being produced.” This explains my problem exactly. I see the words on the page, but I do not read them.

Especially in my life, it would be extremely difficult going through this without anyone. It is healthy to talk about your feelings and what you're going through with others and when you're alone, this would be difficult to do so.

The subject in this poem is very serious, but the references back to music and dancing makes the tone bright. In this next line, "filled the jukebox with dimes in June" also gives it a positive side on this important topic.

It is easy to assume that we are always right, but if we look at others views, we may think differently.

As seniors about to graduate, what will our life look like after high school? We seem comfortable where we are in life right now so we may not want to go out of our comfort zone. Change is good. Staying comfortable is also good, but what if changing and going out of our comfort zone is something we need as our next step?

I think it was interesting to add in this and made me want to read into it more.

He even cleaned up the place and made his dad a sign. When the day was coming closer, the more anxious he became. When his dad arrived, Barry did not want his roommates there to talk to him. We can assume that Barry thinks his dad is ashamed of him and could be ashamed of his friends as well.
