    Ezra Pound’s slogan, “Make It New,” Hart Crane best embodies this mindset with his innovative poetry. However, “Make It New” does not imply that the ideas must be completely original.

I raised my hand, walked to the front of the classroom and took up a pulley. Bending down, I concentrated hard on the system in front of me. This scene brought me back to my first encounter with pulleys in the science center years ago. A voice echoed in my mind loudly and clearly: “Don’t be obsessed and carry on!” The story of that day started to unfold
