"All achievements take time," Said famous poet and author, Maya Angelou. Maya and James L. Weil, both have something in common, which is the shared out view that goals are hard to achieve, but bring adventure into everyday life. These goals are set by an individual and they work hard to accomplish the objective. They will either succeed in the accomplishing the mission or they will fail. But it's also not a bad thing, because either failing or succeeding a goal can lead to more objectives to be made. "A Coney Island Life," is about life and the everday stuggles of accomplishing goals. But the adventures make it worth it. James Weil gets his point across by metaphorically comparing goals as the famous amusement park, Coney Island. How the rides all represent the daily struggles and the occurences because of these struggles. In the poem, "A Coney Island Life" by James L. Weil, the author is trying to convey the message of how hard it's to accomplish goals, but always worth it in the end, because life is full of adventures.
The poem talks about how hard it's to accomplish goal, but it's always worth it in the end. How the poem represents how hard the the goals are to accomplish, the poem states, "Having lived a Coney Island life, On rollercoaster up and downs," (James L. Weil). Obviously, the author is comparing these hard goals to a Coney Island ride. The rollercoaster represents the easy and hard days of life. The ups being easy and just sailing through life. But there are also the downs, when you sometimes get stumped and it's difficult to continue. Which is explaining how difficult it is to accomplish your goals. Having goals will either cause people to succeed or to fail. Another reason why the poem is talking about how it's hard to accomplish goals, but it makes your life full of is that it states, "Break skyward without me, Now arms filled with dolls," (James L. Weil). This line "Break skyward without me" is stating how accomplishing goals is hard, but the part where it states "Now arms filled with dolls," means that while accomplishing these goals there are more opportunities to have more adventure in a lifetime. Even if the goals aren't accomplished, there are still other things to be proud of. There were other adventures to be excited about, even without accomplishing these goals. In conclusion, "A Coney Island Life", by James L. Weil is a poem about how hard it's to accomplish goals, but it will always open up even more opportunities or adventures to explore.
The second reason why the poem is about how hard it's to accomplish goals and how it's worth it in the end. In the poem, it declares, "I take perhaps my last ride on this planet-carousel," (James L. Weil). The poem states this because it shows how much life was an adventure it was, and that he's glad how he took his life's road. Planet-carousel, representing about how worth it, it was to accomplish his goal in life. That he was ready to take his last ride on life's road of opportunities. To back up the theme even know more, the poem states, "How many times round, I have, To catch that brass-ring-sun," (James L. Weil). This explains how the author is accomplishing all these goals, but he wonders how much longer he has left. The "brass-ring-sun" represents the objectives. This is striving him to do better and finish all of his goals so he can have more opportunities for more and more of them. It also represents that the author was trying hard to finish his goal. But he also doesn't know if he could try for any longer. But he isn't giving up yet, until he accomplishes the one goal. In the end, "A Coney Island Life," is about how difficult it is to accomplish goals, but also how these goals set knew adventures for the wielder.
Goals are hard to accomplish, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be tossed aside and forgotten. Goals are meant to be achieved or failed, but never tossed aside. They set new adventures for everyone and which opens more opportunities. As James L. Weil wrote in "A Coney Island," explains just that. That it's worth it to push yourself to achieve objectives and should continue having adventures through these goals. Which is important in everday life. Without the constant goal setting, life would get boring. Even if we fail the goals we set, we shouldn't be discouraged, because that is just human nature. We win some and we lose some. Even when we fail we can set more goals to accomplish and open new opportunities to go towards. Adventures also lurk around the failing and the succeeding of goals. In the poem, "A Coney Island Life" by James L. Weil, the author is trying to show the message of how hard it's to accomplish goals, but always worth it in the end, because life is full of adventures.
