Sentences of the Week:
1. "And our names on that ring,
they’re only the most ordinary names." - From the poem "Identification" by Wisława Szymborska.
2. Henry contemplated the great red face, with its unfortunate contrast to the slicked, black hair, and wondered if he would ever make the old man happy. - From The Luxe by Anna Godberson
3. "You might not know it was unless you knew." From the poem "The Crossroads" by Joshua Mehigan.
In sentence number one the women is in denial that it is her husband that she is identifying as the man
who had died in the plane crash. Your heart immediately starts to ache for her as she hopes and prays
that it is not him, but in all reality everyone knows that it is. Sentence number two caught my attention
because I think most kids try their hardest to make their parents proud, as much as they do not want to
admit it. We strive for their approval, and in sentence two the son feel as if he never will get that from his
father. I related to sentence number three more so than any of the other sentences. This was a poem
a spot of a car accident where a loved one had died and cars drive past it every day and have no idea that
someone so important was killed in that very spot. Therefore, you might not know unless you knew. It just
sort of makes you think.
