Round 3- We're All Water...

James Franco Grammie Round 2 Winners-

Winner 5/6
Able to unmask the reality of his hopeless destiny with a true love and too apprehensive to utter even a word to another human being, he finds the only person able to ever fulfill his infatuations is his own self. Hypnotized by his appearance, his longing for seduction grows with every stare at himself. He tries to amuse himself on a conversation of passion with the mirrored image but finds his only satisfaction can be  Kirsten!
Winner 10-
Tremors rippled through his core, failing to breach the surface of his countenance. Once more, he gazes into the glass only to find cold isolation: he is utterly alone. The corners of his mouth suddenly reach upward, shattering any reluctance. As he attempts to quiet anxiety he reaches in for the first kiss, a gentle caress. Closing his eyes, he imagines meeting soft, warm, kind flesh but instead is greeted by glass-- Jenna!

  4. What extended metaphor might capture the feel of this performance?

There may not be much difference
Between Chairman Mao and Richard Nixon
If we strip them naked
There may not be much difference
Between Marilyn Monroe and Lenny Bruce
If we check their coffins

There may not be much difference
Between White House and Hall of People
If we count their windows
There may not be much difference
Between Raquel Welsh and Jerry Rubin
If we hear their heartbeat

We're all water from different rivers
That's why it's so easy to meet
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean
Someday we'll evaporate together

There may not be much difference
Between Eldridge Cleaver and Queen of England
If we bottle their tears
There may not be much difference
Between Manson and the Pope
If we press their smile

There may not be much difference
Between Rockefeller and you
If we hear you sing
There may not be much difference
Between you and me
If we show our dreams

We're all water from different rivers
That's why it's so easy to meet
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean
Someday we'll evaporate together

What's the difference?
What's the difference?
There's no difference
There's no difference
What's the difference?
What's the difference?


For this memorable performance by Yoko Ono-
Let's attempt to capture 2 parts:
A) Extend a metaphor of comparison
B) Use participial, appositive, prepositional, adjective, and adverbial clauses (See Sentence Spice)





What is an antithesis?
