Remember - Christina Georgina Rossetti

The theme of this sonnet is making someone forget about you. Then thinking about you again.
A Clue that gave away the title is when she says " Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad " meaning the guy or who ever should forget about her and then one day think about her and be sad knowing that they no longer are together. This does connect to my life in some way because someone wanted me to forget about them but its impossible. I can connect this poem to other poems we have read today because there saying that people have left or/and came into there life's.

The rose that Grew from concrete by Tupac Shakur

The theme on this poem is that Tupac is the rose and he is saying that while he was growing up life was hard and he was struggling. Also, that no one really cared about him while he was growing up so thats why he probably expresses him self with poems. For example when he says "Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared." hes saying that he was on his own.

Brown Hands - Lupe Algarin

I think what makes this poem such a great love poem is that he is trying to say that the girl is his other-half. This poem makes me feel honestly kind of weird because he is trying way too hard to make it sound nice. What I learned about Lupe today is that Lupe has a some part in his heart that he is very sweet or is trying to be sweet.

Hyperbole

One Hyperbole the poet used was "If only a bomb would explode you to bits.". I Think the poet used this Hyperbole this way because he wants to show that he really hates homework and he wants it to blow up and disapear. Another Hyperbole the poet used was " I wish I could wash you away in the sink." I think he is saying that he wants to wash the home work down the sink for it can go to a sewer.

Take me as I am

The mood of this poem is like if Mary J. Blige is depressed and she is trying to move on but something is trying to get in her away. A inference I can make about this poem is that she probably is trying to move on. The meaning of this poem is that she doesn't want anything to hold her back from doing what she wants to do.

Poetry Response Bronx Masquerade

What I think of this characters so far is that they all know whats going on in the streets of Harlem and about all the violence that is going on. I have learned that most of them do not have a lot of money. A inference i can make about this characters is that they all have a talent.
The poetry reveals about them a lot of things like that that most of them don't have a lot of money. Most of them are very confident with there poetry.
The meaning of Tyrone's poem is that he knows whats going on about the violence and the drugs but he still wants to live there because he loves living there. One thing is that he isn't very confident when it comes to life. He thinks he will be lucky if he makes it to the age of 21.
I do not connect with this poem because I know what I want to do with my future and I don't take school as a joke.

Alice Walker Poem

The main idea of this poem is that she is accepting people dead because she know that people are born to die they don't live for ever.
A inference i can make about this poem is I think someone died in her family.
A word that best describes how the poet is feeling is depressed and sad.
I do connect with this poem because no body lives for ever unless your some type of super hero.

Stopping by the woods

This poem creates a boring mood. The reason why is because I do not like this poem even though its my opinion that's what I think the mood poem creates.
Frost used repetition in this poem.
The reason why he repeated the same line was to show people how he feels and he is trying to open out to them.
The speaker is feeling old and tired the reason why is becaus he sounds like he can hardly talk.

"Changes" - Tupac Shakur

A inference i can make about this poem is that Tupac is living in a racist time.
Words hat best describe this poet the way he is feeling are "War, Racist, N----, Police, Crack, Drugs, and much more
The reason why is because he is explaining out people were so racist and there was always drugs and violence.
The message that Tupac is trying to send is to everyone! that is living with racism and drugs and violence
because he is living during while all of this is happening he is explaining how the blacks can't rest because they need
to live there life looking behind there shoulder because probably cops will try to kill or beat them.
I do connect with this poem because he went through this and If I was living while this was going on
I would feel exactly the same way.
But some of it is still going on not like it was going on before.
