My inspiration for each page of my wikispace.
I decided to write a little bit about everything that we've read in class together this year, plus a personal experience of my own.

__Lucky__: I read this book in my literature circle and focused a page of my multigenre project on poetry. We further studied poetry in class, which led me to write about haiku's for the memoir this time. __The Story of an Hour__: This story was short and since we didn't have much time to make these projects, I figured it would be a quick story for me to read it again. I decided to focus on, "youtube", because when I was looking at videos one day, I typed in, "story of an hour" and there were tons of videos that showed up. I recently saw the movie, "Over Her Dead Body", and was immediately reminded of this story. So I added another clip from that movie into my page. __How__: I decided to make a myspace for the unknown male character because the character's didn't have names and when you have a myspace without a picture, you can't identify who's myspace it is. So I thought of that and made one for him, since he is the one who is desperate for the love of the woman that he loves (which is my theme). __Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone__: I decided to write a letter to readers because the lonely feelings that the speaker was experiencing are common, even among break-ups (especially in high school and college). So many teens feel that when a loved one leaves it is the end of the world so I decided to let them know that they are not alone. I also wanted to analyze it a little bit because the word choice seems so colorful. I was hoping to convey what the real meaning behind the poem and show that it isn't just a fun poem. I didn't want to have to cite anymore pictures so I just made it colorful, just like the words in the poem. __Sex Without Love__: I was immediately drawn to this poem because of the title. It's a huge issue in our society today and the author talked about religion in it. That led me to use the most famous love passage from the Bible (because love is part of my theme) and then I wrote a paragraph about how the passage relates to the poem. I also briefly included my own thoughts at the very end.

Boyfriend: I wanted to express my own thoughts and ideas on the topic of, "To be loved, by someone you love", and since I am in love right now, it seemed appropriate. I used my old diary entries and put pictures along the way of everything that happened since I met my boyfriend, Steve. There's a lot more to the diary, obviously, since I stopped when Steve told me that he loved me but I figured that I had gotten my point across. I was also hoping to get some "brownie points" from him since that page is a cute, personal expression of love (I hope it works!).
