Peer Response Entry 2 (Week 8)

This is a response to April's Junkyard Quote 2 "I ache for the beat of a drum and not just the pitter patter of a dull lifeless cavity."
This is a really interesting quote...when I first read it, it sounded like the beginning line of a "love" type poem...one where the main character wants the feeling of nervous thumping that you get when you are around someone that you love. Also, the "beat of the drum" may seem to be available, but the "pitter patter of dull lifeless cavity" kind of offsets that with its interesting combination...pitter patter doesn't seem very lifeless, it just seems quiet and what someone would typically ache for-that fast pace heart beat...this switch-up of language keeps the reader on their toes...and makes me want to know what comes next!
