Hi guys.  So being in class yesterday helped me.  Thank you, Ellen!  She helped me with what I could talk about with my paper.  I really didn't know what to do. because, as I have said before, I am writing my paper on the poem "A Certain Lady".  And, to me, I didn't know what, in this poem, is to be argued about.  Enough to write a whole paper on, anyway.  To me, it's just about this girl who is in love with her guy friend, but he doesn't love her.  I didn't know what could be argued.  Thankfully, and with Ellen's help, I will hopefully be able to write my paper on why this girl does not tell her best friend that she is in love with him.  I have reasons.... 1. She feels like she can't tell him she loves him because they are friends and that is what they are supposed to be.  2. The poem speaks of other girlfriends he has, so she is thinking that she can't tell him because he is dating other people.  and 3. what if he doesn't love her back?   Actually I think there was another reason, but I can't think of what it is.  Ellen and I were talking about it in class, so maybe she'll remember what it was.  Lol.  Ok, this is kind of ironic, but right now I'm listening to itunes, and guess what song is playing?  "Say" by John Mayer.  Weird.  If you guys haven't heard that song or know what it is about, it says "Say what you need to say."  Which is weird considering the poem, and how she couldn't tell her friend that she is in love with him.  Perhaps the writer of this poem needs to hear this song.  haha.  Anyway, we shall see how this whole paper thing goes.  I'm concerned that I still won't be able to get four whole pages on just this one little poem.  Eh well.  I have yet to read "The Raven".  Eh well, again.  Haha.  Ok guys, I'll see you people in class on Monday,  Have a good weekend.
