Spull Cheeaker (Spell Checker)


Some people have been saying that my spelling isn't that good. Well, I'm a toddler, so of course it's not as good as if I were bigger. But, my Dad got me a spell checker. This means it will be easier for people to read what I right. Mostly it's pretty good.

My sister's poem

My sister rote this and she's really smart. And talented. I thinke. 

Twinkle star. Twinkle star.
Such a shiny star you are tonight.
I love your twinkle.
I love your gaze.
I just wish you could come down
and enjoy this starry night with me. 

What I finde especially intereseting here, aside from the evocoktive imagry (e.g "shiny star" that "twinkls") is the person-o-fo-cation of teh star - it has a gaze, and in doing so shifts the realtionship between teh poem's author - my sister - and teh star. The star becomes teh point of view of the poemtry - it is active, rather than passive and is no longer teh obejectified star that one usually finds in poetry of this genera. In this way I thinkn my sister is commenting on teh conventions of genera and hodling them up for critique. This argument is furthere suported by teh ovious alluston to the classic fo the genera, "Twinle, twinkle little star" in the first line "Twinkle star. Twinkle star." by the middle of the peom, we are not gazing upon the star, it is gazing upon us. What are the implecations of this? I also think that my sister is doing this strcturalist criquke of the coventions and generas when she invites the star to come down and share it (realy, the pleasure IT, the star creates for the readr, "teh stary nite") whit her. The subject of the poem - the star is botht he spectatore and the object of of desire and in this way she (my sister) destroyes teh poetic convention whereby the star has tratditionally been coded with "to-b-e-looked-at-ness" (with apoogeeze to Laura Mulvey). It makes me woder if the star is merely a metaphore for being a girl and this is mysisters way of attacking the partiarchie.
