Loving Annabelle
(5.00 / 1 vote)My cigarette burns like a flame.
My lungs
will never be the same.
I puff, and I puff.
I can't get enough.
Oh, well.
I'll get cancer
just the same.
Very nice, Catherine,
but remember,
the beauty of poetry
is in the details.
Next time, you might want
to be more specific
about which brand
you smoke.
Someone will be out shortly
to get you.
Who would like
to go next?
Colins,
how about you?
"A single blade.
"Cold.
Alone.
"Misunderstood,
causing fear to move
through my soul like wind"-
See me after class.
That was very nice, Colins.
Yeah, nice enough
to make you
want to kill yourself.
- Hey.
- Hi.
You're the new girl, right?
Yeah.
I'm Kristen Edwards.
Annabelle.
It's nice to meet you.
You too.
Oh, my God.
Your mother
is Senator Tillman.
That is so cool.
Oh, my God,
your mom is such an inspiration.
I'm totally going
into politics.
Who are you?
Only the daughter
of Senator Tillman.
Who's that?
Hello?
Her mom could be, like,
I doubt that.
Are you in a band?
Yeah.
Mm.
A rock star.
Cat's dad's drummer
for The Weary.
Was.
He's doing
his own thing now.
He's in rehab.
Dude.
What?
What?
You better not let them
catch you smoking.
Later.
Bye.
Bye.
This is our administrative hall.
The cafeteria
and offices are here.
Senior dorm rooms
are upstairs.
And your classes
are up the hill
in the other building.
You might want to hide those
underneath your shirt.
Why?
And the nose ring,
you might want
to take that out.
Don't say
I didn't warn you.
It's open.
Good luck.
we are about to receive.
May it nourish our body
in Jesus Christ.
Amen.
I hear you're in dorm five.
It looks that way.
Me too.
You're lucky.
The sisters don't let us
do anything,
but Miss Bradley, she lets us
order pizza sometimes
and stay up later
on the weekends.
Sounds great.
Where did you
put your chem notes?
Why are you
wigging out?
I'm wigging out
because if I don't pass chem,
I'm going
to fail again.
It's her second go-round
as a senior.
Just announce it
to the whole frigging world, Cat.
I'm sorry,
but it is.
I can't believe
she's smoking.
"I feel like I'm only... "
Hey, Prissy.
What's in the cage?
It's a porcupine.
Her name is Prissy.
I found her in the woods.
Careful,
Annabelle.
That thing
has wicked gas.
She doesn't have gas.
No one else
knows about her but us.
Miss Bradley
is letting me keep her.
Because she has
no other friends.
Come here,
Prissy.
Come here.
"My respiration
"and inspiration.
"The beating
of my heart.
through my lungs.
"A few light kisses,
"a few embraces,
"a reaching around
of arms.
"The song of me
rising from bed
and meeting
the sun. "
Now, we've already spent
a lot of time
talking about Song of Myself
from a stylistic perspective,
but what about content?
Wasn't Walt Whitman gay?
Yes.
So he's writing this
about another man.
Let's take a closer look
at the opening lines.
What does he mean
when he writes,
"I celebrate myself,
"for every atom
belonging to me
belongs to you"?
Martha?
We're all connected?
Anyone else?
Annabelle.
Because, through love,
we feel the intensity
of our connection
to everything
and everyone,
and at the core,
we're all the same.
We're all one.
So I'm the same as Colins.
I don't think so.
Why don't you
expand your mind?
Why don't you
stop cutting yourself?
Out of my class.
Everyone open your books
to page 46.
Let's take another look
at the beginning.
