I've always had trouble focusing on thing; brought up in a world of constant media, tv, Internet and such, it wouldn't be out of the question for such focus maybe becoming more scarce by the year, but that is simply a possible tangent I will not explore further in hopes of keeping my focus, lol.

The focus of my response assignment is on a poem of mine I wrote back in January. "Jung One: Don't Cry", on an interesting note, was inspired by the ending of a Playstation 2 Game, Metal Gear Solid 3: Solid Snake. Normally, I wouldn't admit a seemingly trite and unrelated fact, but the ending was very emotionally vivid. I will actually go back and watch the ending to help with analysis.

My analysis on my poem, "Jung One: Don't Cry", will center around the main character in the poem: a would-be and/or future father whom is is looking towards the future. He warns his son of the world that awaits him, and ultimately ends up warning his son of possible lessons that the would be father learned throughout his life thus far. While in a normal analysis, I would slowly reveal this instead of simply giving it away as a thesis (I think...). However, for the response assignment, Knowing a little about the poem will actually help, as the option I will be using a collage and/or drawing(s) to convey the poem's meaning. Referring back to the Playstation game being mentioned as a source of inspiration, I will try and cut and paste certain images and scenes in the ending to help piece together an interesting depiction of the poem, one that may not be immediately available by simply reading it.
