Speach is power: speach is to persuade to convert, to compel

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

 

        You are always faced with a hard decision. Picking a WW Fenn piece was challenging but when I found Thanksgiving I new I wanted to recite that one. When I started memorizing it, I found that I could relate to this poem and be able to recite it well. Memorizing this piece really forced me to think about it and realize what it is portraying. There was difficult vocabulary but I found that if I memorized a line at a time I would get it done in time for the class finals. Every night, I would sit on the couch and memorize a line at a time. I would probably sit there for twenty minutes and I would have memorized a couple stanzas. At the end of the night, I attempt to recite everything that I had memorized so far and I would usually be able to do it. What I learned from studying this piece is that you can’t give up. Even if you have only a couple days to memorize it, you have to persist through the hard time. I know that when I was memorizing, I just wanted give up then and there but I knew that I didn't have enough time to pick another piece and memorize it so I kept trying and trying and I eventually got it. I think that memorizing this piece will totally be worth it. I am starting to understand what it means and It was worth persisting through to get the job done.
