Found Poem

So I finished my found poem but before I hand it in I'd like some feedback. My computer's copy-paste function broke, so I just took a pic of it. All criticism is welcome! (except for bad criticism)

My Links List

I've already completed my excellent introductory blog post, so now all I have left to complete is my links list. Here goes *nothing:

1. http://www.echeat.com/essay.php?t=32285
From eCheat.com, **not that I cheat or anything, it's just relevant to the subject, as it represents the views of other people.
2. http://classiclit.about.com/library/bl-etexts/rfletcher/bl-rfletcher-history-preliminary.htm
Let's face it, I don't read a lot of novels that weren't written before the invention of the printing press, so my knowledge of classic novels is a bit skewered. This website will surely help me learn the learns.
3. http://www.lordotrings.com/interview.asp
This here is an interview with JRR Tolkien, ***cause he's a cool guy
4. http://www.bookrags.com/The_Hobbit
It's like cliff notes, but not for when you get stuck reading Romeo & Juliet.
5. http://eng3ue2011.blogspot.com/
This is the class blog. It is important. No questions.
6. http://www.thehobbitblog.com/
The Hobbit is being adapted into a film, directed by Samuel's brother!
7. http://www.readingmatters.co.uk/book.php?id=71
Gotta get some additional perspectives on the novel, ****am I right?
8. http://www.lord-of-the-rings.org/hobbit.html
This is another summary of The Hobbit. I haven't read the whole novel however, so I refuse to read it yet (if this website is actually spreading anti-English propaganda, I am deeply sorry. I haven't read it.)
9. http://tolkien.cro.net/mearth.html
Bilbo Baggins' adventure takes place in Middle Earth, a fantasy themed place with much to learn about. This website has some neat information on several different topics regarding the setting for The Hobbit

Hello World

Many blogs start off their blogging, err, career with a post that says "Hello World". This is generally meant to simply greet the three readers they have, though I mean "Hello World" in a very literal sense. One day, Samuel L. Jackson's Classic Novel Study of Movies will reach the farthest corners on the globe (which is a curious saying, as the Earth is spherical and as such has no corners. That is of course, unless this saying is a reference to the improperly proportioned rectangular map of Earth, which actually has four (!) corners.)

How will I do this, you may be wondering? By doing nothing. The world population shall flock to this blog for a source of mental nourishment, and I will be their king.

This is Blog

Hi.

I'm Dylan surname censored for safety reasons, a Grade 11 student from location censored for safety reasons. You might remember the blog I wrote two years ago, Extra Marks for Bilinguality, a worldwide acclaimed blog which enriched the youth of today with knowledge and insight. I took a year off from blogging so that I could spend more time writing correctly cited Wikipedia articles and making scrapbooks for the homeless, but I have returned once again. This time, I will be reading the classic novel The Hobbit with my good friend, Samuel L. Jackson. Together we hope to succeed in analysing The Hobbit so that we can conclude whether or not it is a classic novel.

Bless you.

Samuel and I hope to grow as critically thinking writers, and will be posting a number of posts through this semester aimed at summarizing The Hobbit and posting my ideas as to what I think about this novel. The internet has developed so much since its unveil in 2003 that you can now comment on my blog posts! Through this technological breakthrough, you can criticize and compliment my writing skills. But mostly compliment.

Y'know, looking back on this post, I realize it doesn't really make much sense. Feel free to compliment me on that!
