Forty year old virgin, “yeah that movie made me laugh for weeks after it was over”, but did you really understand it. Did you really see that 40 year old man still act only ten years of age? The 40 year old man still very immature and childish in the beginning of this movie. I surely hope that I won’t turn out like that but if I keep denying my maturity there is no other outcome to the story. Childish acts I still have are irresponsibility and my immature. My mom tells me I need to grow up and become fully responsible and mature.
Kids they are immature, lazy and very irresponsible. Kid that’s exactly what you can half of my features I’m the type of guy that that would sit in a car and point a hair dryer at passing cars. The type that would throw pebbles at an old lady just as the kids in the story the marigolds. Irresponsibility is what my mom should’ve named because it seems that that’s exactly what she calls me.
Responsible and maturity are traits of adults and mature young men these traits describe the other half of me. Half of me that tries to stay away from stupid situations and stops kids from having egg wars or stop people from tee peeing houses. I usually take out the trash and try to clean my room before my parents ask. I find ways to obtain things I want without always having to get it from my parents.
Me Leon Wesley Watson the kid who still laughs at people who pass gas. Me Leon Wesley Watson the responsible young men whose friends older siblings talk to as a mature young adult. Well both are Leon Wesley Watson I know I’m supposed 2 act as Lizabeth in the marigolds and go through some kind of life changing event. Why? Maybe I’m fine the way I am this maybe who I am is partly childish and partly mature do I have to choose just one?
40 year old virgin a funny movie. Yes but also slightly similar to me someone that is of age and whose peers want to be mature. Still immature still lazy irresponsible still acting stupidly and still playing with my action figures. I’m in the middle of the movie now I know what everybody wants me to be fully mature but I still like me as I am. Maybe I’m not yet but one day will maybe its just because I haven’t been through enough either way I am who I am and wouldn’t change the childish nor the mature about me im fine the way I am.

Romero Essay
Would you rather eat different parts of a pig or shrimp soufflé and sherry champagne? Well the poem that delayed me long enough to stop talking to my friends for almost 5 minutes surely would prefer shrimp, it goes by the name “High On The Hog”. Julia fields the author of this masterpiece used to recited her poetry at her families church. This poem has several characteristics such as rhyme and repetition. My favorite of the many available has to be meaning, historical and the wonderful vocabulary. In the poem the meaning though very obvious still left the mind lingering after the poem lose ran out of words. The historical context of this poem talks of slavery and segregated times. Vocabulary a key feature in this poem especially with the different vocabulary of the times used in the poem.
First the most important part in this poem, meaning of this poem even though obvious once you’ve read it. From the many times the poet Julia fields phrase “I want high on the hog”. Also the other many statements made giving reason that showed they deserved it in this work of art. Julia tells many hardships of her culture such as lynches and hardships she survived.
Historical context not something used in many poems. Julia uses it numerous times in her poetic masterpiece. Such as when she states fact relevant to the African American community back in the slavery and segregated times. One line she uses this in her poem states ‘…I’ve been…lynched enough slaved enough cried enough died enough”.
Vocabulary a key part of any piece of writing. Vocabulary used in this poem I see as sort of extravagant. Author Julia fields uses words from slave times such as hoe-cake and knock knee’d. She even uses word I actually never heard of before such as monyinhanned. The vocab is all over the place it gives off a sort of randomness.
So what? I chose a poem that was in a African American studies book. So what? I chose a poem I found interesting. Meaning was the first reason I talked about, and I told the reader it was obvious and still deep. Maybe other readers don’t like that in poems. Quality of the history in the poem was the second reason I chose this poem and I just love my history. Will all the readers of this poem like history in their poems or even at all? Vocabulary was the last reason I decided to pick this poem I thought it was random and I liked it for that. Will all other readers of the poem like their vocabulary random? I don’t kno these thing and truth be told I don’t care. I described to you reasons I love this poem and if you don’t to bad for you because I found the right poem for me!
