Lyrics

"I always had a passion for flashing, before I had it, I closed my eyes and imagined...The Good Life" -from "GoodLife" by Kanye West ft. T-Pain

I believe that this means you can have a liking for something, before you actually "get it". For example, I can love cars to the point where I know everything about them from inside out, and not actually own a car! If u can see yourself in a specific car, and it makes you feel good, then you ultimately gain a passion for it! I have a passion for drumming, specifically for the percussion section of Norfolk State University. Everyday I think of how I would feel to be in that uniform, marching into the stadium, and playing the Spartan challenge(theme song), "Behold"!!! With the visions I have, and my existing love for drums, I automatically gain a passion for it even before I get to NSU.

Trey,

If you don't mind I'd like to share this blog post with the class tonight as an example of how it's done. The specific details are right on. Another exceptional element of your response to the assignment is that, while you chose just one line from the song, you were able to flesh out your interpretation with examples throughout the course of a paragraph.

To keep your momentum, how about connecting the main idea from the lyric to one more example, maybe from a movie.

Nice work,
Adam

There is a saying "There are going to always going to be step stones in your way, just keep your balance and hold on tight, and take the road that carries you to success.
