This weeks journal is short.. sorry.   I'm using the last lyrics from a song called "Koi Wa Sensou (Love is War)" by Hatsune Miku. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jf3rEzIFpA

Prepare for a counterattack
I'm fighting a losing battle
Love is blindness
Your kiss opens my eyes.

This is one of my favorite songs because it's well written and it sounds great!  It's originally in Japanese, but I translated it for you. All through it it compares love to warfare.  I like this part because all through she is angry and doesnt like love, but in the end she realizes that love is good.

Dialectic Journal Week 3

Excerpt is the second verse of  "Each in His own Tongue" by William Carruth. 
A haze on the far horizon,
The infinite tender sky,
The ripe, rich tint of cornfields,
And the wild geese sailing high;
And all over upland and lowland
The charm of the goldenrod--
Some of us call it Autumn
And others call it God.


I like this poem, I think it's beautiful.   I love how well it describes Autumn, my favorite season.  I can visualize it very well, the beautiful attributes of Autumn.  I think the author did a very good job on the poem. 
I like how Carruth makes it for all for all people, so everyone can enjoy it, this beautiful well written poem.
