Fast Forward

This week during our class discussion, I learned the technique of being able to write a story or poem describing a particular kind of person without actually saying it. Through style of wording and choice of action verbs, it helps the reader distinguish either the speaker or its audience properly. "The Day Lady Died" by Frank O'Hara was a great example of this style of writing in my opinion. Third stanza of the poem, "..I stick with Verlaine after practically going to sleep with quandariness..". I found it very interesting that there was even a reference to the amazing Billie Holiday. Recently just watched the biography movie of her very interesting life story. The narrator's daily routine was life changing for him because it would no longer be the same. In relation to the world we live in today, everything we do reflects the future lifestyle of ourselves and those around us.
