Ezra Weston Loomis Pound (30 October 1885 – 1 November 1972)became known for his role in developing Imagism, which, in reaction to the Victorian and Georgian poets, favored tight language, unadorned imagery, and a strong correspondence between the verbal and musical qualities of the verse and the mood it expressed.After teaching Romance Languages at Wabash College in Indiana for two years, he resigned and travelled to Spain, Italy and England. He became interested in the poetry of the Chinese and Japanese.He founded the Imagist movement in poetry, which encouraged experimenting with different verse forms, and opposed representational art in favor of abstract forms.

Post #2 COMPETITION

               Competition is seen around the world everyday. People compete even thought they don't realize it. Weather its at school, work, or home people are constantly competing. However,  people can get TOO competitive and go to extreme measures to win. My idea of a HEALTHY competition would be a race between friends or even a sports game at school. An UNHEALTHY competition may be one that is unknown such as best friends competing for a boy's attention and breaking apart or a soccer game that turns into a massive fight between rival schools. I believe any competition where any physical or mental harm is inflicted than it is unhealthy. Competition not only affects the players but the viewers too, when people watch foot ball games they get all riled up and start to fight. Competitiveness is in all of us. When we are driven to the edge we tend to do things that we wouldn't usually do.
