Reading Response #3

The title of the article by Samual Taylor Coleridge is called Coleridge and the Radical Roots of Critical Philosophy. I honestly do not know what the main idea is of the article. I can never understand the poem let alone the article that I have chosen. I have been stressing on this sense I first got the article. I really want to understand what the authors are saying in their writings. Especially most of Coleridge's poems. Every now and then I am able to understand because of how his writings relate to an experience that I have been throuhgh. But what I can determin is that Coleridge and Kant have worked together to compose some poems and that sometimes they would have a misunderstanding. And that Coleridge became fascinated with criticalo philosophy in the 1790's when he was reading the English versions in papers and pamphlet.

The Journal

Throughout the day, any time of day,

I would grab my journal and just start writing about events of any kind.

Most of the time I just write about what I did throughout the day,
I would also write about how I feel at that time.
Anger. Frustration. Confused. Sadness. Happiness.
And sometimes accomplished.
Writing in my journal always brought comfort and less stressed.
It feels like I am letting everything pout out of my head and my heart.
And than as I finish writing my last few sentences its like I feel as light as the clouds.
Stress free.
every now and then  I would keep my thoughts in my head and not tell anyone or write about it,
It really hurts my head and I feel like screaming.
But recently I haven't been able to write because of school and trying to get myself ready for next year.
I really wish that I could just stay home and just write in my journal.
All day.
With no distractions.
But life is always just a dream.
You want things to go the way you planned and never does.
Most of the time.
I love having something to write about. It makes me feel better.
And besides I have to work on my writing somehow.
Sadly most people don't like to write.
I do not know why but I find it mentally relaxing.
Writing helps with school and it also gives you something to do when you are bored.
My journal will always be there for me whenever I need it.

advice

Whenever someone is talking to you and giving you advice about a situatuion it is very important that you

listen to whatever they are saying. Because what they say can help make a difference and help the situation

your in. Even if you think that information has nothing to do with the problem that is present, it will help if you

remember what your friend, parent, or whomever talked to you, that advice will help in the future.

Quote by Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"Love is flower like; Friendship is like a sheltering tree."

Love is flower like because love is a beautiful think that is between man and woman. And a friendship is like a sheltering tree because a friend is always there for your support if you are hurt, stressed, and if you need someone to talk too. And the tree will never wilt aslong as your friendship is strong.
