The abnormal mind,
Is quick to detect,
And attach itself to this quality,
When it appears in a normal person,
...
I was unjustly accused of being,
A politician,
I was privy to the secret griefs,
Of wild,
Unknown men,
The confidences were unsought,
Frequently I feigned sleep,
When I realized by some,
Unmistakable,
Sign that an,
Intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon,
The terms in which they express them,
Are usually,
Plagiaristic and marred,
By obvious suppressions,
Reserving judgements is a matter of,
Infinite hope,
....
A sense of the fundamental decencies,
Is parcelled out,
Unequally at birth
What made you chose this paragraph? isit because maybe you feel the same sometimes?
ReplyDelete@Bianca Honestly, I'm not too sure. It just appealed to me. Not really. Because if you think about it, society has trust issues.
ReplyDeleteI liked that you chose this passage, just because i actually understand what its really saying. The meaning it really deep, it goes great in this poetic form. It makes you think, and I like that. Can you, in anyway apply yourself to what Fitzgerald is saying? And does it have any meaning to you?
ReplyDelete@Adriana Could you have given me a more challenging question? Even though I didn't think about it on Bianca's comment, I was in Nick's shoes during my junior high years. Some of my friends would come at me with some dark secrets. The difference between Nick and I is that I didn't feign sleep. I actually felt quite flattered that they could trust me with such thoughts. So, yes, this passage has meaning to me in a way.
Deletewhy did you choose wheres waldo as your title?
ReplyDelete@Derick I thought it would be a funny little pun on a "FOUND poem"
Deletedo you believe that the "fundamental decencies,
ReplyDeleteIs parcelled out,
Unequally at birth" or disagree?
@Juan well, that's hard to say. Because (I omitted it for length purposes) Nick is speaking of himself. That, I believe, translates to him saying that not everyone is born as kind and decent as him. So, that's more opinionated. But I guess, I could agree with him purely because he had the decency to not judge to their face.
DeleteDo you think people automaticly go to some who doesn't judge others
ReplyDelete@Raul It's tough to say "Automatically" but, I would say that people are fond of people who don't openly judge.
