A CONEY ISLAND LIFE FINAL


We were all born into this world to serve a purpose. Having the ability to think for ourselves, we make choices that will pave a sustainable pathway. To do so, we set our standards and we exceed them. Author of the poem "A Coney island Life" James L. Weil compares his life to the ups and downs and rotations of Coney island's roller coasters and carousels. Weil's message in"A Coney island Life" is to never settle for less because you don't want to regret the opportunities that you didn't take.

Time is limited and you don't get it back once it has passed. "My helium hopes break skyward without me" Setting high standards is easy, but accomplishing them wont be. Regaining hope after losing hope is the best and only way to continue on. "now arms fill with doll I threw so much for." The ending result is what was done to get this far, all the effort and sacrifices that were made during the long journey. Giving up because of one mistake isn't an option, but taking & learning from it is. All the hard work & dedication will pay off because of all of the opportunities that will come.

 Don't count the days, but make the days count. "how many more times round I have to catch the brass-ring sun before the game is up." No one knows exactly how much how long life will be. Therefore, do as much things before the opportunity is taken away "I take perhaps my last ride on this planet carousel"  Fooled into thinking that was it, but actually theres one last bit of chance left. Making choices should be decided as if there was no tomorrow.

The motive behind determination and hard work is life's ultimate goal. Happiness. Because everyone strives for the great feeling of accomplishment. No one said that achieving goals was ever easy. Encountering faults and difficulties will always occur, but its a choice to face and overcome it. Surely sacrifices are made, but they all just prove its value and why it was believed in it the first time.
