Poetry Response: Child,Child


My inferences based on this poem, is that this poem is so real, & I noticed maybe, the poet was feeling Loved once in her life while she was a child, so maybe she made that poem to inform how her love life was as a child.
She feels loved, or she wonders where that love gone ? In her poem, it says "
CHILD, child, love while you can, The voice and the eyes and the soul of a man; Never fear though it break your heart. " In my opinion, that means she wondering where have that love go, if she is saying Love while you can.
I believe the meaning to this, is that Love while you still young & while you can, because once that love is gone it can never begin, I think that cause' it's true, that happens a lot in life. So maybe that happened to her.
I don't really connect to it, cause' i never fell in love but I do think that this is an amazing poem & very well spoken out, I can't forget that it rhymes, which I love about poems. But, I do like the poem a lot cause' it speaks out the truth in Love.

Poetry Response: Changes


In this poem, I can make an inference that this poem is about Tupac's life & how much he wants to change his style.

The word that best decsribes the poet is "Survive" because he wants to survive living as a Black person in his neighborhood.

The meaning of this poem is Making changes in your life, & trying to survive, & trying to make things better.

I do connect with this poem because if Tupac had problems & try to make changes, so can I. Tupac was a big rapper. And, I don't want to be like him but I want to persue a better life then him. In his poem he wanted to survive but also try to make a change & that's what really caught my attention to do.

Poetry vs. Prose

The article " Birmingham Campaign " is about showing people how to act , how to be , how the world should really be. Like back in the old days, everyone use to be very races & now I noticed that, that racism have stop. I also notice that people protest in Birmingham began with a selective when he said, " The purpose of ... direct action is to create a situation so crisis-buying Campaign packed that it will inevitably open the door to negotiation".
I can't forget about the the poem that was read to me after which was really interesting and it made me read it twice or maybe 3 times because ' it seems like I couldn't quite get it . But' when I finally got it I thought that the little girl that was in the poem, She wanted to go march the streets if Birmingham in a Freedom March but at that March there was a Bomb explosion which made her lose her daughter.

I Have A Dream .

I have a dream that . . . well my dream is to be an Famous person .

Martin Luther King's Dream was to bring freedom to earth and to stop the racism and One day he dreams that this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed : "
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. " His other dream was to be able to sit down with the bother hood of slavery and come together as a family. And, he also wanted to bring white & Black people . The metaphors he uses is that he describes

If we come softly .

Jeremiah & Elisha. Miah and Ellie. Those are their names-but words are fragile and illusory. They could both tell you about moment they first saw each other, in  the crowded hallway at Percy Academy, the private school they each unwillingly attend; they could track the days and the moments until they were alone, together, and kissed for the first time. A first love is special and rare - but the world around Ellie & Miah doesn't see it like that. All they see is this: Ellie is jewish. Miah is Black. And, to the world, the word " Love " means nothing. 

The Man who Could see Elephants .


The Man who sees Elephants is in Deep Mountains, near an Out-of-the way village, and there was an abandoned stone quarry. And, near that quarry lived an Old Man who could carve the most extraordinary elephants out of stone. People form all over the world to see his work. And, now there is a young man that want's to learn how does this old man carve Elephants. So for many days, he lived with the old man to see how he could do that but it didn't work the old man didn't get to teach the young man until One day the young man complained saying " You never teach me nothing and I haven't been learning anything about carving. " And, then right there and then their was 3 stones near by them and the young man ask the older man teach me how to carve elephants and the Old man replies " I don't carve elephants," said the old man. And, the younger man said, " what are you doing ?" The old man replies " There is one, and there is one, and there is one." He said pointing to the three blocks of stone. The young man looked and looked, but all he saw were the three blocks of stone. "Where are the elephants ? ", he said. Then, the older mans tells the young man that he can see them (the elephants] and he carves stones not elephants and they're trying to set free so instead of carving it he sets them free by carving them into beautiful Elephants they're naturally are. 

I understand every word in here their is no other word I don't understand nor get.
The Old man Carves the most extraordinary elephants out of stone. And, he puts his work in a museum so everyone can see them.
