    "Anyone can dig a ditch, but it takes a real man to confront his girlfriend about the snake in her refrigerator."
  • Any man can dig a ditch, but it takes a real man to build a bridge

    The hole is a metaphor for isolation, or to put yourself into a horrible situation. Anyone can isolate themselves from the world, and make decisions to their detriment, but it takes a real load of courage to work your way out of the situation

    Edit: Took a creative writing elective this year that had a unit in poetry. Our teacher wasn’t depressed, she was manic

    when james talked about how he hated when people were “cool” with their teachers, i was always like “yeah i agree”. but that was before i reached sophomore year of high school and met mr shinn…he’s a father figure for me and he’s prolly gonna be at my wedding someday 😭. i wouldn’t say im “cool” with him, but we have a father-child bond that’s quite wonderful imo

    Anyone can dig a ditch but it takes a real man to __.




    I think the answer is "stop" because the ditch is a metaphor for an addiction and digging is them going deeper into the "ditch".

    I had a 7th grade History teacher named Mr. Poe; he had a really cool voice, carried around a yardstick, and once threw a beach ball, intentionally missing a student

    I went to the high school that my dad taught at, so I was actually pretty friendly with some of the teachers. Not a lot of them, and it helped that I was actually a decent student, but it was a nice feeling to know that these adults I was spending multple hours with each week at least had some good feelings towarda me.

    Damn the "quotation marks incident" took me back.. I took a class in poetry in college, and the teacher used to say it was wrong of us to assume you need prior information on the author's backstory to understand a poem, everything you need to know is in the text. So she would ask stuff like: "What does the author mean with X?" And I would be like: "because of the wording, it sounds like he means Y", and she would correct me: "Oh no, to understand this you actually have to know that he moved houses a lot as a child and that his dad used to beat him up". I quit right after that.

    Marble High School is a school and historical site preserved by the National Register of Historic Places located in Marble, Colorado. It was built in 1910, and is the only surviving building in Marble
  • As someone who is friends with teachers, I still keep it professional and talk to them outside of their classes as well as never using their first name. I mean really, they're much older than me so the least I can do is respect them as an elder by adding a "Ms." or "Mr." to their name. Also I never even knew that poetry class was a thing because we always had to do Language Arts Literacy (LAL) and we hardly ever get to the parts of the book where we would read poems from there (which I like). So I would read those poems while the rest of the lesson was going on because I already read ahead of the story we were talking about.
