Eng100 03/28/17 After I read the definition of hiraeth. I had a better understanding of the project. My cousin and I started to dwell on the past. Many ideas being to pop in my head , that i didn't have before the conversation. Most difficult part of my writing process was the begin. I always a trouble putting the first apart together. I think I over think the first process. I remember in class my teacher said just start writing down your thought. Once i had that mindset , my juice was pouring out. The another process I find pretty difficult was really getting touch with my feelings. Doing this projects was kind of hard for me. I overcame holding back my feelings but looking at old pics of my family and expressing my feelings on the paper. I started taking this project soon we talking about it. I was excited to get to work. In class I kind of had I good idea what we had to do for this project. I wanted to express my family I been holding in for the longest time. Saw a good opportunity to do so. I was in my bedroom with all my family picture on the wall. I think the pics motivation me more. I don’t think I will chance my writing process because I got some good work out of it.

Jahbrill Washington Eng100 03/28/17 Dance with My Father” is the title of the track Luther Vandross write with the help Richard Marx. Vandross wrote this song based on this personal experience. Its heart touching lyrics recall childhood memories with Vandross' father, who used to dance with him and his mother. “Back when I was a child before life removed all the innocence my father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me” a quote from the song. His father, Luther Vandross Sr who died due to complications of diabetes. Vandross was seven when his father died. When you listen to you song you can see where i can make the connection to hiraeth. Its a place Luther wish he can go back to but never will. I did not have an initial understanding of the word hiraeth. My first time of hearing the word hiraeth was the first day of class. I did what anybody would do if they did not know a word. After I read the Wikipedia meaning of hiraeth , I had a better understanding on the project itself. I would like to write about the sadness over the losting my mom. Hey mama, I don't know where to start at. Their are so many thing I want to tell and ask you. Let start by telling you I’m sorry. I been acting like fool , but I did keep my promise that I was going back to school. I got my G.E.D seven years on the same month we went our separate way. Right now I’m enrolled in Delaware County Community College. My major is engineer. You always said I was good at math just like you. I remember you said you went to Winder so I just might follow your footsteps. Its sad Jada and Logan Washington will never meet the best grandma ever. I know they would of love you. Me and Jada was talking about you the other day. She saw a picture of you on my wall. You know how kids are asking 21 questions and more. I was happy to tell her about you. I know recent years you wanna to whoop my butt. I’m sorry for how I was acting in the past but as you can see I’m on the right track mom. I still make mistake some bigger than other. I just want to let you know I think about you everyday and night. P.S Thankful for all the blessing you send my way even if I didn’t follow thru with it. |
