Open to Interpretation

Works of literature do not tell the same story to each person who reads them. How you perceive a story depends on where you are in your life and what paths you have walked prior to the day that you encountered that story. Literature is not the same as math... it is definitely open to interpretation....much like the lyrics to a song. What they mean is different from person to person.

Take for example...

"Chariot"

Staring at a maple leaf

Leaning on the mother tree

I said to myself we all lost touch

Your favorite fruit is chocolate covered cherries

And seedless watermelon ohhhh

Nothing from the ground is good enough

Body rised

It puts over me

Oh chariot your golden waves

are walking down upon this face

Oh chariot I'm singing out loud

To guide me

Give me your...Strength

Remember seeking moons rebirth

Rains made mirrors of the earth

The sun was just yellow energy

'It is a living promise land

Even over fields of sand

Seasons fill my mind and

Cover me

From bringing back

More than a memory

You'll be my vacation away from this place

You know what I want

Holding that cup,

It's pouring over the sides

Make me wanna spread my arms and fly.

Response Journal "Viva la vida"

Coldplay"Viva la Vida"

The song's Spanish title, "Viva la Vida", is taken from a painting by 20th century Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. It translates into English as "long live life"....
Life is easier to live, it seems, when one is on winter break.... it recharges you for the next several weeks of school.....or it is supposed to.

Did winter break recharge you? What helps you relax and "recharge your batteries"?
Listen and respond.
