The Stool
The Stool that I
eat at. The Stool
That is always there.
The one that just
Floats by the island.
The Stool that I
Sit at every morning.
That Stool with the
bent legs, that never
bend. That one with
the cross bars, that
always annoy me, yet
I love just because.
Not the Stool on
the end, the one
sitting in the light.
In "The Stool," I use caesura to break up the different phrases. Also, I use enjambment to try to draw out each phrase. I also used anaphora to emphasize the certain stool that I love.

Song Analysis
In the song "Dark Turn of Mind," the artist, Gillian Welch, repeats the same phrase at the end of each stanza except the third one. The phrase emphasized the phrase 'dark turn of mind' and also used the phrase in a different way each time. The song also uses words that intone different versions of the word dark. This is done through the shadows and bones mentioned in the second stanza; the coming of night in the third stanza; and a dark mind being favorable over brightness in the last two stanzas.
All of this darkness, combined with the alternating euphony and cacophony, gives off interpretations of a clash between innocence and darkness. There is only a bit of a slant rhyme in the first stanza. The last stanza is a repetition of the final two lines in the previous stanza with some extra emphasis in the part about a dark turn of mind.

Research Paper
I felt confident about the style of the paper. It felt good to seem to know how to write a paper in this style. I felt good about my number of sources because I ended up using all but one of my ten required sources. I was concerned about how much I explained each source. I felt like there was so much background information that was needed just to make a small claim.
I feel like I need some help working on finding the proper conventions for each separate situation, I have trouble thinking of appropriate ones (not time related). I also fell like I could use some guidance on whether or not I am including too much background information. Another area of my concern would be about my conclusion, towards the end when I am trying to make my point, it almost feels like I make the writing a little more informal than in the rest of the paper.

I have a small dog named Sammy. He is a maltipoo, a cross between a Poodle and a Maltese. We got him after a neighbor told us that she was going to see a friend who rescued dogs from the pound. When my mom, sister, and I went to this lady's house, she led us into a backroom that was completely covered in dog kennels. There was this one dog there that looked like a little bear cub, with frizzy hair and everything.
Sammy is a great companion. On the way home from the vet today, he was riding with all 3 inches of his head out of the window. He loves everyone and is very sweet. The most aggressive thing he does is mark his territory on people's shoes. However, he loves to bark. He will bark at anyone who walks by. He has woken up and begun to bark at a person walking a dog on the other side of the street. He loves to curl up in people's lap and fall asleep.
