"Ex- Basketball Player " Paragraph

Athletics in school are important to me because it keeps you in shape and also if you want to go pro in a sport in the future as a career, it will be easier because you are experienced. It prepares for young people in life a lot. It mostly depends who you’re and what you want to do. For example, especially for boys they would want to be a Basketball player, Football player, and or Baseball player. Playing sports in high school will prepare you and automatically you’re good enough to play pro. Additionally, people get injuries over injuries and its hard to stick what you want to do, there are risk. It is important to me, as a female. If I did not have my dream jobs I could even go pro in Softball and Volleyball, it just depends. I could play in college and everything. It has many good things about athletics as a young person in life, especially in the future.

Imagery in a Song

The name of the song that I chose to represent my life is call “Photographs & memories” by Jason Reeves. An image that has a meaningful picture to me is “the picture”. This song is sad but it also gives me a great feeling inside. Another image that has meaning to me is the memories, there are memories that goes with pictures and memories are just the best because they’re the only thing that does not change when the people does. When I hear this song I feel happy but I also sometimes cry a lot. Theres also different kinds of memories too, I used to have this song on repeat in the car with my sister Sammie.

   “Photographs & memories” by Jason Reeves.
I keep your picture by my bed
For when I'm feeling sad, I don't know why I would be
The way your smile looks so real
I feel like I could start to understand your grace

But I, I don't understand why you're not here with me
And I, I don't even wanna know where else you'd be

'Cause I have photographs and memories of the times
You weren't on my mind and I was alone
I have poetry and drawings of my life
You weren't on my side and I didn't know
Just what is love

Writing moments on the wall with different colors
Keeps my mind away from missing you
And I can't wait to fall asleep to slip into my dreams
Where we can dance upon a star

And I be as patient as a boy in love could ever be
And I don't feel like I was real until you were a part of me

'Cause I have photographs and memories of the times
You weren't on my mind and I, I was alone
And I have poetry and drawings of my life
You weren't on my side and I didn't know
Just what is

I need you back, I need you back, I need you here
I need your smile, I need your eyes, I need you, dear
Every line on your face makes a beautiful maze
For my eyes to trace
Every line on your face makes a beautiful maze
For my eyes to trace

I have photographs and memories of the times
You weren't on my mind and I was alone

Imagery in a Selected Poem Paragraph

In the poem “Life Goes On” by Tarna the mood that the imagery creates is inspirational, sad, but yet has a lot of hope and it creates a happy mood at the end. An example of imagery in this poem is when she says “The rain will fall the snow will sparkle, the tree's will blow and the birds will sing, children will dance flowers will grow, music will ring and tears will flow, ice will melt and memories felt”. This poem shows all five senses that are concluded in imagery. It shows: Sight because you can see rain and snow sparkle, the tree, birds, children's, flowers, tears, and ice. Sounds, you can hear the rain fall, tree’s blowing, bird’s singing, children's, and music. Smell because you can smell rain, and flowers. Taste, you can taste the rain and snow. Touch, you can feel the rain, snow, trees, birds, flowers, and ice. The feelings that the image created for me was sadness and it slowly turned into faith, courage, and I felt inspired. I suddenly felt happy again. The use of imagery helps to express feelings because it helps us understand their feelings in a better way and we can actually see, hear stuff, etc.
