Oh The Places You Ll Go Poem
For the final paper, the reading selected will be, “Oh! The places you’ll go!” by Dr. Seuss. This reading was selected for many reasons. One of the many, is that Dr. Seuss is a huge part of many college students childhood. Personally, Dr. Seuss was one of my favorite’s! This poem speaks out to me personally in a way because for college students, this is our first adventure on our own. Here, we are thrown into the world expected to grasp life and be able to maintain and handle it. College is our final destination of education till we, the students, are shipped off into this world to show our talents through our jobs. Oh! The Places you’ll go! is an inspiring poem focusing on you personally. The poem says, you have a brain and a destination which you chose. Yes, you could chose the wrong …show more content…
College is the student’s bumpy path. Many may get side-tracked and join the wrong crowd, and party and lose interest in their education. However, those of us who stay along the right path will achieve high marks. We will end up somewhere where we are happy and showing the world just how much knowledge we know! The poem is an inspiring message saying, even though things may get rough, meaning for college, classes will get harder and the pressure will intensify, but in the end it will be worth it. In the end, we will all see a beautiful place where all our hard work has lead us to go. I like this poem because it is inspiring. Stay on the right path, and achieve excellence through all of your work, and one day you will be in a place where you are helping others and brightening the days of many who need it. My major is to become a Physician's Assistant. My college experience is going to be tough, with tough courses, but in the end it will all be worth it and I will be helping people’s lives one day. This poem is an encouraging way to say, it may get tough but keep going because you are going to see amazing things one

    I imagine that most of my classmates probably read this poem the first time and when they were finished thought to themselves, “What the…?”. I know I did! I re-read the poem several times and eventually deciphered most of it. I think that we all probably have that in common. To my dismay, I will, in all probability, never meet my classmates or professor in person.…

    As humans we have the natural reaction to want more than we already have. We often focus on what is ahead of us or what we could have, rather than appreciating and accepting the pleasantness that we may already have in our life. In Young’s poem he starts off with a sad reflection of how the average person, including himself, handles hardships in their life. Young explains how an individual yearns to be significant in life, but…

    I was scared, scared of our adolescent love and where it would lead. I kissed my fear instead of her. The rumbling of the train drowns out my thoughts into reality. I’m on my way West Point, I’m on my way to New York, a lifelong dream of mine, something I’ve been awaiting for a while. West Point has always been somewhere in between delusion and prophesy and now…. Now I couldn’t be bothered, I find it now intimidating, daunting, it has a castle like structure and it feels uninviting. I want to write, I want my work to flood the minds of others and inspire. I no longer want war, I want no part of it. As I’m skimming through the newspaper at hand, I see an article on how some madman burnt the York Cathedral to the ground. Oh how I long to be the one to write that, a grand soliloquy written by me, Edgar Allan Poe, but somehow I put myself on this train. I’m not happy on this train, I’m not happy where this train is taking me, I’m not happy I’m alone, I’m not…

    I’ve grown up with all of you. We’ve laughed and cried together. Though, as I leave, as we all leave, I think about how we’re not going to be all in this together anymore. As the end of our time together grows closer, I want to look towards the future. Yes we’re graduating, but just as Carol Burnett says, ‘We don’t stop going to school when we graduate’. We may be leaving, but we’ll never stop learning. Each new day will be a new adventure. We’ll make new friends and gain new experiences. Yes, I know this all sounds incredibly cliché, but that’s the point isn’t it? School if anything, was a love / hate relationship. We had our ups and downs, and just like school, life is going to be the same. So I encourage you to look back on your own schooling lives; take your mistakes and learn from them.…

I feel like this year is just going to fly by and the next thing I know I’ll be packing to go to college, but let me not get ahead of myself. I remember always being asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The funny thing is, I’ve always known. I’ve always wanted to be a teacher. I can look back to my younger years and remember playing teacher, writing out worksheets, teaching classes with my cousins. It’s something I always enjoyed.…

    Though beauty is subjective to every individual’s opinions, common themes can be found across different works of art. Songs such as “If Today Was Your Last Day” and poems similar to “Oh, The Places You’ll Go” present the idea of the future. While the future is uncertain the emotions portrayed in these works make the concept seem less frightening. “If Today Was Your Last Day” is a song clearly about living life in the moment, because of the uncertainty in life. With lines such as “leave no stone unturned”, “leave your fears behind”, and “every second counts”, this song encourages thought in simple, everyday actions.…

    This is my favourite poem as it describes hope by using a powerful array of metaphors to enhance its effect. While it is true that many people all over the world live in extremely challenging and life threatening situations, leading hard lives in appalling conditions. What keeps people going in such circumstances is the glimmer of hope that things can change. This is one thought that came to mind when first reading the poem and this is what attracted me to it and as it relates to any hopeless situations it really does apply to all aspects of life.…
